Anyone who is allergic to peroxide, the whitening agent, should not get this treatment. We also do not recommend teeth whitening for pregnant or lactating women.</p>\n<p>Candidates should be in good oral health, without gum disease or worn down enamel. Cavities should get treated before people can consider getting their teeth whitened. Teeth whitening works best for people with yellow teeth, but some patients with brown teeth have also received positive results.

professionals. More often than not, that team is headed by a prosthodontist. A prosthodontist focuses primarily on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth and creating functional, natural-looking smiles for patients.</p>\r\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">A prosthodontist is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Though much of what we do involves repairing and replacing teeth with a variety of removable or fixed prosthetic options, our team also corrects issues stemming from the lips, gums, and facial features. Ultimately, we strive to restore or preserve dental function, appearance, and health through proper diagnosis, treatment planning, restoration, and maintenance.</p>\r\n<p>Whether you want to improve comfort and functionality, desire a more attractive smile, or both, a prosthodontist is the professional for you.

Crowns cover the entire visible surface of a tooth above the gum line. They are sometimes also known as caps.</li>\r\n<li><b>Porcelain Veneers:</b> Veneers are ultra-thin casings of ceramic that cover the front of the tooth. Veneers reshape, elongate, or change the color of teeth. Occasionally they are implemented to close small gaps.</li>\r\n<li><b>Dental Implants:</b> Implants are necessary to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. Implants consist of titanium steel posts that the dentist embeds into the gum line via a surgical procedure. These posts fuse to the jawbone and provide unwavering support for the cap, designed to look and feel like a natural tooth.</li>\r\n<li><b>Dentures:</b> Full and partial dentures help improve the aesthetics and functionality of a person who is missing several teeth. Implant-supported dentures provide additional stability. They are attached to the implants rather than resting on the gums.</li>\r\n<li><b>Fixed Bridges:</b> This method involves using a natural tooth on either side of a gap to support a bridge of one or more artificial teeth. The placement of a bridge usually takes several dental visits. Bridges may last for 10 to 15 years.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 prosthodontist v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"prosthodontist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about areas of prosthodontic treatment\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"All prosthodontic patients undergo an extensive examination and consultation before receiving treatment.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 prosthodontist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"prosthodontist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Prosthodontist\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\r\n<!-- <h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\r\n    <div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div> -->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">People Also Ask</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<!-- PAA prosthodontist v1 Service Page Questions -->\r\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Moreover, prosthodontists without board certification are just as committed to excellence as those with it. However, when you work with board-certified prosthodontists, you have peace of mind that they are current with the newest practices, familiar with the most advanced technology, and provide state-of-the-art care.</span></p>\r\n</span>\r\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\r\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Which restorative dentistry services are right for me?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\r\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The answer depends on several unique factors.

We advise patients to write down any questions they have before coming in for their consultation and encourage them to call with any preliminary questions or concerns they may have prior to their first visit.</p>\n<p>An initial consultation for dental implants is the first step in the implant process. The visit typically involves discussing treatment goals, a thorough oral evaluation, and a detailed explanation of treatment expectations. We will need to collect the patient’s medical information including oral treatment history, allergies, medications, family history, and any other relevant information pertaining to their treatment type. The patient will be informed of the paperwork they need to bring to the consultation appointment.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about make the most of your dental implant consultation\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The visit typically involves discussing treatment goals, a thorough oral evaluation, and a detailed explanation of treatment expectations.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what to expect the day of the procedure\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"expect-day-of-the-implant-procedure\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What to Expect the Day of the Procedure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Preparing for dental implant surgery is one of the primary focuses in the early stages of the implant process.

Depending on who performs the operation, the procedure might take place in the dental office or at a specialist’s office. To eliminate surprises, it is important to ask about this information during the consultation.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What is the typical length of the placement procedure?</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>According to the <a title=\"Read more about VA Salt Lake City Health Care System\" href=\"https://www.saltlakecity.va.gov/slc_dental/implants.asp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Implants-Consultation\">U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs</a>, the dental implant process can take anywhere from several months to two years from beginning to completion. However, the length of time for the placement procedure varies and depends on a variety of factors (location of the implant, number of implants, etc.). The placement of the implant is completed in one session, and the patient is able to return home on the same day in almost every instance.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to expect the day of the procedure\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the dental implant process can take anywhere from several months to two years from beginning to completion.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about post-procedure care and adjusting to normal life\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-happens-after-the-procedure\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Post-Procedure Care and Adjusting to Normal Life</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The post-surgery process is the most anxiety-ridden step in the process for many patients as there is likely to be some discomfort, especially the first couple of days.

Mild to moderate discomfort is common after the surgical process of placing an implant into the jawbone. Also, the patient can expect gum swelling, mild bleeding, and increased sensitivity.

It is helpful to ask about the expected follow-up visits to properly clear your schedule in advance and ensure you are available for routine check-ups. The consultation appointment typically involves a treatment plan that consists of both the treatment itself and subsequent follow-ups thereafter.</p>\n<p>Follow-up visits are crucial for recovery as they allow both the patient and University Dental Associates to monitor progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments as needed. It is also important for the stability and durability of the implants themselves. Follow-up visits may be required monthly, but once the patient has successfully healed, the implants may be checked every six months during their biannual dental checkup. As each case varies, we will schedule follow-ups accordingly.</p>\n<p>It may also be advisable to ask questions about the recovery period and what it would entail as each patient’s treatment varies. There may be individualized instructions for the patient along with general instructions for post-treatment care. You may come up with questions about the recovery period as University Dental Associates discusses these instructions, but we encourage patients to come up with a few prior to treatment, especially questions regarding their own personal lifestyle habits.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about post-treatment care and recovery\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Follow-up visits are crucial for recovery as they allow both the patient and University Dental Associates to monitor progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments as needed.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 dental-implants-consultation v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"dental-implants-consultation v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Questions to Ask at Your Dental Implants Consultation\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implant Consultations</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What qualifications should I look for at my dental implant consultation?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">According to the <a title=\"Read more about Dental Implant Surgery\" href=\"https://myoms.org/what-we-do/dental-implant-surgery/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Implants-Consultation\">American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons</a>, implant success rates are higher when performed by a dental specialist (as opposed to a general surgeon).

Consider many risks associated with not wearing a mouth guard, including broken or lost teeth, jaw injuries, lacerated lips and cheeks, and damage to orthodontic appliances.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Broken or Lost Teeth</h3>\n<p>Teeth, although hard, can break. Playing sports without a proper mouthguard leaves the teeth at risk of taking a hard blow without any cushion. This can cause teeth to crack, fracture, or even fall out completely. A cracked or damaged tooth signifies a severe dental emergency.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Jaw Injuries</h3>\n<p>Jaw injuries commonly occur in sports. Mouthguards prevent or greatly reduce their seriousness by cushioning the jaw and reducing the amount of shock it takes during a hit. Teeth, designed to chew food, can also do damage to the soft tissues of the mouth when left uncovered. A mouthguard can help protect the mouth from punctures or lacerations.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Damage to Orthodontic Appliances</h3>\n<p>Braces or other orthodontia present a unique challenge that only a custom-fit mouthguard done at a dentist’s office can address. This type of mouthguard can be made for the upper and lower teeth. It will not only protect the teeth but also prevent the metal wires and brackets from potentially ripping into the soft tissues of the mouth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the dangers of not using a mouthguard\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Hard hits and flying projectiles can all translate into a nightmare for the teeth and jaw.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the risks of store-bought alternatives\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"store-bought-mouthguard\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Risks of Store-Bought Alternatives</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Not all <a title=\"Read more about Policy Prevention of Sports-related Orofacial Injuries\" href=\"https://www.aapd.org/research/oral-health-policies--recommendations/prevention-of-sports-related-orofacial-injuries/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Reduce-Sports-Injuries-With-Mouth-Guards\">sports mouthguards</a> are created equally. A custom mouth guard fitted by a dentist will provide the most protection as it offers a tailored fit for the unique shape of the upper teeth. This level of smile security cannot be matched by a generic mouthguard found at a sporting goods store.</p>\n<p>Stock and boil and bite mouthguards take the \"one size fits all\" approach to protecting the teeth and jaws. As a result, they remain uncomfortable and make it difficult for players to breathe or talk. Generic mouthguards tear easier, do not fit correctly, and consist of a weaker material, which are not enough when playing contact sports.</p>\n<p>An investment in a custom-fit mouthguard also represents an investment in an athlete’s long-term oral health. The materials used remain durable, yet still allow the athlete to breathe and talk with ease. However, using a temporary mouth guard while waiting for a custom one remains better than not wearing one at all.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the risks of store-bought alternatives\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Stock and boil and bite mouthguards take the ‘one size fits all’ approach to protecting the teeth and jaws.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"reduce-sports-injuries-with-mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about long-term effects of sports injuries to teeth\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"effects-of-a-sports-injury\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Long-Term Effects of Sports Injuries to Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Over a quarter of dental-related injuries happen while playing sports.

Hits to the mouth can result in the loss of a tooth, or the need for a root canal to avoid infection. Missing teeth and the subsequent replacement, fractures and cracks will need special attention for the rest of an athlete’s life.

People with structural dental issues, including broken or missing teeth, can benefit from restoration dentistry. Restorative treatments allow patients to preserve as much of their natural teeth as possible.</p>\n<p>Although the American Dental Association <a title=\"Read more about Dental Specialties\" href=\"https://www.ada.org/en/ncrdscb/dental-specialties\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Restorative-Dentistry\">does not currently recognize restoration dentistry as a dental specialty</a>, general dentists can perform various restorative procedures. General dentists can perform these preventative and corrective procedures to ensure that patients’ mouths and teeth remain as healthy as possible. The right treatment can restore the tooth structure’s integrity and health while maintaining a natural appearance.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 restorative-dentistry v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"restorative-dentistry v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to know about restoration dentistry\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Restoration dentistry focuses on restoring functionality to teeth as well as the overall management of oral health.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 restorative-dentistry v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"restorative-dentistry v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of restoration dentistry\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-restoration-dentistry\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of Restoration Dentistry</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The benefits of restored teeth extend beyond aesthetic appearance since damaged teeth can have significant oral and overall health implications. The various procedures have different benefits to help patients maintain healthy smiles. One benefit of receiving restoration dentistry is improved chewing function and minimized pain. Restoring a damaged tooth can resolve chewing problems and even result in improved speech.</p>\n<p>Restoration dentistry can restore tooth decay, chips, cracks, and prevent further tooth damage. These dental treatments protect a patient’s natural teeth and minimize the chances of contracting gum- and teeth-related illnesses. Dental restorations can also improve oral health, prevent cavities, and maintain the structure in jawbones.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 restorative-dentistry v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"restorative-dentistry v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of restoration dentistry\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\" The benefits of restored teeth extend beyond aesthetic appearance since damaged teeth can have significant oral and overall health implications.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 restorative-dentistry v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"restorative-dentistry v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about performing restoration dentistry\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"who-performs-restorative-dentistry\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Performing Restoration Dentistry</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>General dentists serve as the first line of defense against oral health problems.

Restorations are also important to minimize extra stress on the surrounding natural teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the benefits of a composite filling?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Composite fillings are a popular dental restoration choice since they match the appearance of natural teeth. They provide good durability and resistance to tooth fractures. Patients can receive these fillings in the back or the front of the mouth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How much does a dental restoration cost?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Dental restoration costs will depend on various factors, such as the procedure, location, damage extent, and the patient’s insurance provider.

Root canal treatment involves removing the damaged pulp and nerves from inside the tooth to eliminate bacteria and prevent the infection from spreading. If you have an infected tooth, root canal treatment may be able to save it.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Root canal treatment is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. This procedure can relieve dental pain and save your tooth.

The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes injured or infected, the patient may experience swelling, infection, and pain. Even when outwardly apparent symptoms are not present, bacteria within the root canal may cause decay and damage to the jawbone. In many cases, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth.</p>\n<p>A root canal can remove the infected or inflamed pulp to prevent further issues. Various situations can call for a root canal, such as repeat dental work on the same tooth, cracks or chips, deep cavities, or a tooth injury. Signs that a patient may need root canal treatment include bumps along the gums, darkening gums, severe pain or sensitivity while biting or chewing, and swollen or tender gums. People should be aware that the signs of root canal infection or injury are not always obvious and that a thorough examination may be necessary for diagnosis.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 root-canal-treatment v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"root-canal-treatment v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding root canals\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A root canal can remove the infected or inflamed pulp to prevent further issues.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 root-canal-treatment v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"root-canal-treatment v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about root canal treatment benefits\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-a-root-canal\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Root Canal Treatment Benefits</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The goal of root canal treatment is to save and preserve the natural tooth.

First, we will take an X-ray of the infected tooth and numb the treatment site. Next, we will place a dental dam, or small protective sheet, over the area to protect the spot from saliva and bacteria during the procedure. Then we will make a small incision near the tooth’s crown to expose the infected pulp before removing the infected tissue and cleaning out the pathways. Once the canals are clean, we may apply a topical antibiotic to kill any remaining infection. Once the tooth is filled and sealed, we will place a crown or other restoration to protect the tooth and restore its functionality.</p>\n<p>As with any semi-invasive procedure, root canal treatment is not without its risks. In some cases, the damage is too extensive for treatment to be viable. If root canal treatment occurs in this situation, it could result in tooth loss. Though rare, root canal treatment can also result in abscesses. This typically only occurs if the improper infected pulp removal occurs or if the antibiotics are ineffective. Although there is a risk for potential complications, root canal treatments are generally safe and effective, with <a title=\"Read more about Failure of endodontic treatment: The usual suspects\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4784145/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Root-Canal-Treatment\">a success rate between 86-98%</a>.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 root-canal-treatment v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"root-canal-treatment v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the root canal process and potential complications\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Although there is a risk for potential complications, root canal treatments are generally safe and effective, with a success rate between 86-98%.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 root-canal-treatment v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"root-canal-treatment v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Root Canal Treatment services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"root-canal-treatment-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Root Canal Treatment in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Root-Canal-Treatment\">Root Canal Treatment in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS root-canal-treatment v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"root-canal-treatment v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preventing the need for root canal treatment\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"prevent-the-need-for-a-root-canal\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preventing the Need for Root Canal Treatment</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Although root canals are effective procedures to restore infected or damaged teeth, it is best to avoid the need for a root canal in the first place.

A dental scaler or ultrasonic instrument can also assist in clearing the bacterial buildup.</p>\n<p>For even deeper cleaning, patients can also have a root planing treatment.

We will scrape plaque deposits from the teeth and in the large pockets between the gums during root scaling. During root planing, we will go deeper into the gum line to remove bacteria and plaque. We will smooth out the roots deep within the gum line, clearing off tartar build-up and bacteria. At the end of the procedure, the gums and mouth are flushed with water to remove any remaining loose residue or bacteria.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 root-scaling-and-planing v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"root-scaling-and-planing v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about a breakdown of the procedure\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Depending on the severity of the situation, root scaling and planing treatments may be broken up into multiple appointments.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 root-scaling-and-planing v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"root-scaling-and-planing v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Root Scaling and Planing services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"root-scaling-and-planing-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Root Scaling and Planing in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Root-Scaling-and-Planing\">Root Scaling and Planing in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS root-scaling-and-planing v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"root-scaling-and-planing v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits and drawbacks of root scaling treatment\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-are-the-benefits-and-drawbacks\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits and Drawbacks of Root Scaling Treatment</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of root scaling and root planing is that it helps prevent further <a title=\"Read more about Scaling and Root Planing\" href=\"https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/s/scaling-and-root-planing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Root-Scaling-and-Planing\">gum disease</a>.

The teeth will not loosen after treatment. However, ignoring gum health and not removing plaque can adversely impact gum health and lead to issues, such as gingivitis and loose teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What is the dental plaque that is removed during root planing?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Dental plaque is the film that coats the teeth and gums that consists of saliva and bacteria. Brushing and flossing may remove some of the plaque, but plaque can also harden and turn into tartar. Routine cleanings are necessary to remove tartar buildup.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long does root scaling take?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Root scaling and planing are typically spread out over multiple appointments. The provider may determine which parts of the mouth will be treated during each appointment. Often, root scaling and planing can occur in a single one or two-hour appointment.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the types of dental tools used during root scaling?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some providers use a mirror and a scaler to scrape off the tartar by hand. In other cases, the providers may opt for a more convenient ultrasonic tool to remove the tartar. The ultrasonic instrument also uses water to help make tartar removal easier.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What can I eat after root scaling or planing?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Patients should wait about two hours to eat after the procedure. We recommend sticking with soft, mild foods for a few days after treatment. Patients should avoid crunchy or hard foods and anything spicy. This can help prevent further irritation or discomfort in the gums and teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ root-scaling-and-planing v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"root-scaling-and-planing v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.
