Invisalign for Beautifully Straightened Smiles!

Unfortunately, many patients have shied away from straightening their teeth because of the thought of metal braces. What is fortunate, is that here at Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY, Dr. Nick Mobilia, DDS offers his patients Invisalign! Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth with just as much effectiveness as traditional braces!

Studies have shown that when it comes to wearing traditional metal braces, ninety-two percent of teens would feel like it is more difficult to fit in with their peers. On the other hand, teens who wear Invisalign are two times more likely to experience a self-esteem boost while in treatment than teens who wear traditional metal braces. Teens and adults can now have a beautifully straightened smile without the embarrassment of a metal mouth.

Invisalign is a series of clear, BPA-free plastic aligners. Each aligner has a minor adjustment, so as the treatment progresses along, the teeth begin to shift into their directed spaces. The aligners are switched out about once every two weeks. For adults, an average treatment time is about one year. For teens, an average treatment time is about two years.

What patients love about Invisalign, other than its near invisibility, is that they are removed for eating and cleaning their teeth. You can continue to eat whatever you like, unlike with braces. You also do not have to bother with the hassles of brushing and flossing around brackets and wires.



If Invisalign sounds like what you have been waiting for, do not hesitate to set up a consultation with Dr. Nick Mobilia, DDS! For a limited time only, we are offering Invisalign at an extremely reduced fee.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Dentures are a popular tooth replacement option, but many patients are unhappy with how their dentures look or fit. Dentures can be loose and they do not stop bone degeneration on their own. Here at Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY, we have implant-retained dentures for the best stability and retention.

Implant-retained dentures create a strong and stable base for dentures. Many dentures are able to be made to fit them, so a patient will most likely be able to keep their current dentures. We create this base by inserting four to six thin dental implants. Because these implants are smaller than traditional implants, they do not require nearly as much time to heal. In fact, the whole process, including setting your new dentures in place, usually takes place within an hour.

The dentures will easily clip into place for a comfortable and firm fit. You will no longer have to worry about your dentures moving around when you talk, eat, smile, or laugh. Bone degeneration will also slow down, so your dentures will stay comfortable and stable for a very long time.



If you are tired of hiding your smile and dealing with uncomfortable dentures, implant-retained dentures may be just what you are looking for. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Nick Mobilia, DDS of Elite Dental Arts here in New York, NY, call our office at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com.

Dental Bonding for Beautiful and Strong Restorations

Imperfections to your teeth like decay or injury can often leave your smile less than bright. The great thing is that there are ways to fix problems like cracks, chips, discoloration, and more. Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS of Elite Dental Arts in our New York, NY office offers dental bonding to restore both the beauty and strength of our patients’ smiles.



Dental bonding is the process of using a composite resin to smooth over imperfections. The resin may be chosen in the shade that matches your tooth so that the improvement is not noticeable in your smile. The restoration will just look like the rest of your teeth. For those who want to use bonding to whiten their smile, a resin is chosen in a whiter color than the current shade of their teeth. The resin is then smoothed over the entire smile. For cracks, chips, misaligned teeth, gaps, and more, the resin is smoothed over the imperfection to complete a more aesthetically-pleasing look. When the resin is shaped accordingly, a curing light is used to harden the resin. The tooth is then polished so that it shines like natural teeth. Preparation for the tooth is minimal, light etching is all that is needed.


Bonding can remain strong and good-looking for over ten years with good care. That means you will have a beautifully restored or whitened smile for a long time! To schedule your appointment with Dr. Nick M Mobilia, DDS of Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY, call our office at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and How We Treat It

Obstructive sleep apnea is not only a condition causing loud snoring and daily fatigue; it can also cause major health complications. Elite Dental Arts of New York, NY understands how dangerous sleep apnea can be, which is why we offer our patients an oral appliance to correct the condition.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the soft palate collapses and causes an obstruction in the windpipe. This causes disruptions in breathing which can range from a few times per night to hundreds of times per night. Missing out on oxygen and sleep night after night can wear on your body in ways you do not notice, but ways that can be very dangerous. Sleep apnea causes complications with surgery and certain medications. Sleep apnea also increases the risk of heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke.




Here at Elite Dental Arts, our patients suffering from the complications due to obstructive sleep apnea can find relief. We offer an oral appliance to correct the collapsed soft palate and open up the airway again. This appliance is customized for each individual’s case and fitted here in our New York, NY office to ensure the correct positioning of the mouth. The results of patients who are finally breathing throughout the whole night is truly wonderful.

If you have been suffering with sleep apnea or suspect that you do, now is the time to make an appointment with Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY. To schedule, call us at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com
