The Best Porcelain Veneers for a Fresh New Smile In NYC

Porcelain veneers instantly create a new smile. They can fix a variety of aesthetic issues, which is why Elite Dental Arts offers them to our patients in the New York metropolitan and Midtown, NY area.

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of your existing teeth. They can fix the look of cracked, chipped, misaligned, and discolored teeth. They are stain-resistant, so long-lasting whitening is possible. With good care, top quality veneers can last over ten years. Dr. Nick Mobilia provides some of the best porcelain veneers in NYC.

The process of applying porcelain veneers starts with your dentist taking about half of a millimeter of enamel from the front of your teeth. This is about the thickness of the veneer that will take its place. Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory where customized porcelain veneers will be created. The veneers will be designed to look nicely and fit perfectly in your mouth. Since the veneers may take a couple of weeks to be sent to us, you may be fit with temporary veneers to wear until they are ready.

If you are looking for a fresh, new smile, contact Nick Mobilia, DDS at Elite Dental Arts of New York, NY to see if porcelain veneers are right for you. To schedule an appointment, call us at (212) 681-0939 or schedule online with ZocDoc.

Smoking and the Effects on Teeth and Your Overall Health

Most people are aware that smoking can cause lung cancer, emphysema and contribute to heart disease. Smoking can also have negative effects on your teeth and gums, which can impact your overall health.

Some of the effects smoking has on your mouth and health include:

• Stained Teeth: Smoking can cause a discoloration of the teeth in a short time. The tar and nicotine can make teeth yellow.
• Slower Healing After Oral Surgery: According to the American Dental Association, smoking can interfere with healing after oral surgery, such as an extraction.
• Oral Cancer: One of the most serious health issues associated with smoking is oral cancer. Oral cancer can develop on various locations in the mouth, such as the cheek, gums, tongue and throat.

In addition to the effects listed above, smoking is also a risk factor for developing gum disease. Research has indicated that people who smoke often have more tartar and a higher risk of gum disease than non-smokers. Not only does smoking increase your chances of periodontal disease, it increases the progression of the disease. Smokers often have more bone loss than nonsmokers, which can lead to tooth loss.
 

Your best bet to improve your oral health and overall health is to quit smoking. In addition, correcting the damage smoking has done to your mouth and teeth is also essential. At Elite Dental Arts, we offer periodontal treatments that help improve oral health. If smoking has stained your teeth, we offer a variety of cosmetic options to brighten your smile.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome

Sometimes it is obvious you have a cracked tooth. You may see the crack or recognize it when it happens. But in other cases, the crack is under the gum and you may not even notice it at first. When this occurs, the condition is known as cracked tooth syndrome. At Elite Dental Arts, we have experience treating various types of dental problems including cracked tooth syndrome.

Although it can affect any tooth, cracked tooth syndrome occurs more often in the molars. It can occur for a variety of reasons. For example, teeth which have had a root canal or have large fillings have a higher chance of cracking than those that do not. Symptoms include pain in the tooth, which may vary in intensity. In addition, some people also experience tooth sensitivity to the cold. If the crack becomes larger, the tooth may break.


Elite Dental Arts offers a variety of treatments for cracked tooth syndrome. The type of treatment recommended will depend on how large and deep the crack is along with which tooth is cracked. If the crack affects the pulp of the tooth, a root canal may be needed. In other instances, the cracked tooth may be fixed with a crown. Our experienced dentists will go over your treatment options and determine what treatment would work best for your individual circumstance.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea can develop if the tongue or other muscles in the back of the throat become floppy and collapse. When the muscles relax or collapse it can cause an airway obstruction. That obstruction or blockage causes a cessation of breathing, known as apnea. People with obstructive sleep apnea may have many incidents of apnea an hour.

Sleep apnea can have several effects on overall health. Not only can it lead to poor sleep, but it can also cause headaches.  Sleep apnea can also increase your risk of high blood pressure, which may lead to heart disease. At Elite Dental Arts, we offer solutions for patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

We offer oral appliance therapy, which involves two different types of oral devices. Either type of device is custom made and worn while you sleep. One device is considered a tongue retaining device. It is worn in order to prevent the tongue from collapsing onto the back of the throat. The second oral appliance is called a mandibular advancement device. It works by pushing the jaw forward slightly, which keeps the airway open. Dental appliances for sleep apnea are usually covered by MEDICAL INSURANCE, which means no out of pocket expenses for you unless you have a deductible. At the end of the year, most deductibles have been usually satisfied.

For more information on oral appliance therapy or any other dental need, please call Elite Dental Arts at (212) 681-0939 or you may conveniently schedule online.  Please share your thoughts and comments below.

Diabetes and Dental Health

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is important for anyone who wants to prevent gum disease. However, people with diabetes need to be especially diligent. According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes are at an increased risk of gum disease.

Our staff at Elite Dental Arts offers a full array of dental services including dental hygiene and periodontal health services in order to help you maintain good oral health. Gum disease and diabetes appear to be connected in a few ways. Fluctuating blood glucose levels are believed to make problems with the gums more likely. In addition, research has indicated gum disease may affect blood sugar levels and even contribute to the progression of diabetes.

At Elite Dental Arts, our experienced staff will help you learn ways to reduce your risk of gum disease. We offer services including periodontal cleanings and individualized treatment plans. Gum disease is a preventable complication of diabetes. For those who already have signs of periodontal disease, the condition is treatable and further progression can be prevented.

We are proud to offer our patients exceptional dentistry in a comfortable, state of the art facility. Elite Dental Arts offers comprehensive, restorative and cosmetic dental services.

For more information on diabetes and gum disease or to schedule an appointment, please call our office at (212) 681- 0939 or you may conveniently schedule online.

All Procelain Crowns

At Elite Dental Arts, crowns are a very versatile restorative, thanks in part to the variety of materials that can be used to create them. One of the most cosmetically pleasing and visually accommodating crown options is the all porcelain crown. 

 All porcelain crowns are the best choice for a tooth in an especially visible portion of the mouth. These crowns can be matched to virtually any natural tooth shade and appear as smooth and sleek as a genuine tooth. Due to its slightly translucent nature, porcelain reflects light as natural tooth enamel would - thereby creating a genuine sheen. All porcelain crowns are resistant to staining and are favorable for patients who have metal allergies or concerns regarding the effects of mental alloys on one’s overall health.

Like those made from other materials and composites, all porcelain crowns will require some modification to the structure of the existing tooth, but the end result is a beautiful, discreet and reliable restorative that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your natural smile.

If you are in need of a crown for restorative or cosmetic dental needs, please contact us at the following link Elite Dental Arts to learn more about the all porcelain crowns we provide.  Call our office today at (212) 681-0939 to arrange your smile makeover consultation or you may conveniently schedule online.  Please share your thoughts and comments below.
