During the procedure, an incision is made in the patient’s gum to expose the bone where the implant will be placed. We will then insert the implant and suture the gum around the implant post. In some cases, a temporary denture is used instead of replacement teeth.</p>\n<p>Following the surgery, the bone needs to heal around the dental implant. This process can take several weeks or months. Once it is sufficiently strong, a dentist can fit the permanent replacement teeth. According to the <a title=\"Read more about Dental implant surgery\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/dental-implant-surgery/about/pac-20384622\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Implants\">Mayo Clinic</a>, some extra steps may be necessary. For patients with weak jawbones, a bone graft may be needed to ensure sufficient strength. After the bone has healed, an abutment connects a crown or dentures to the dental implant.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-implants v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-implants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the dental implant process\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots to support new replacement teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-implants v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-implants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about how to care for dental implants\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"care-of-dental-implants\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How To Care for Dental Implants</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Caring for dental implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth, especially if the replacement teeth are permanent.

Dental implants allow new teeth to feel, look, and function naturally. Here are some key benefits of dental implants:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Comfortable:</b> Dental implants act as tooth roots and stay firmly in place. This firm foundation makes them more comfortable than dentures and other replacement tooth options. Many patients report that implants feel similar to their natural teeth.</li>\n<li><b>Functional:</b> The stability of implants makes them effective for eating, talking, and cleaning. They function similarly to the teeth they are replacing. Less permanent options may interfere more with daily life.</li>\n<li><b>Permanent:</b> Dental implants are one of the most permanent tooth replacement options. They can last a lifetime with good care. Additionally, fixed replacement teeth on implants do not need to be removed every day for cleaning.</li>\n<li><b>Natural-looking:</b> Implant-supported replacement teeth look like natural teeth. The visible part of the dental implant is a cosmetic crown made from a composite material that is color-matched to the patient’s tooth enamel. It can be hard to tell the difference. Many patients enjoy dental implants’ aesthetic appeal, as others cannot tell the difference between the replacement and natural teeth.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 dental-implants v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"dental-implants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of dental implants\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental implants allow new teeth to feel, look, and function naturally.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 dental-implants v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"dental-implants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Dental Implants\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

However, dental centers, which have multiple practitioners often covering various specialties, are becoming a growing trend.</p>\r\n<p>One of the appeals of a dental center is the availability of several providers at once. However, this can lead to a more impersonal dentist-patient relationship. One of the benefits of a dental office is knowing who will be providing treatment and developing a level of trust and knowledge. <a title=\"Read more about What do patients take into account when they choose their dentist?\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4669916/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Office\">Determining the right type of dental practice</a> will depend on the patient’s needs and other various factors.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-office v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about dental office vs. dental center\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental offices are run by a single provider offering traditional dental services.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-office v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the right patient for a dental office\"><!-- Section 2 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"benefit-from-a-dental-office\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Right Patient for a Dental Office</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>When determining where to receive dental care, think about what is most important in terms of atmosphere and type of service. A single-provider dental office offers a level of personalized care that cannot be found elsewhere. Patients who desire a warmer relationship with their dentist may benefit from a dental office.</p>\r\n<p>Single-provider offices are more likely to get to know their patients and their specific oral health needs better. When it is time for an appointment, the dentist knows details beyond what is included in the patient chart. If quick, impersonal health care visits are a turnoff, a dental office may be the right option.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-office v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-office v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the right patient for a dental office\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A single-provider dental office offers a level of personalized care that cannot be found elsewhere.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-office v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of a dental office\"><!-- Section 3 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"benefits-of-dental-office\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of a Dental Office</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>Dental offices benefit from a smaller staff focused on providing patients with a quality experience. Dentists and their patients have more freedom in how they interact and more leverage in their treatment plans. These patients often trust their dentist more and are more open to treatment recommendations.</p>\r\n<p>Patients are also often given more time in a dental office. Longer appointment times provide the dentist a chance to learn more about the patient’s oral health, overall health history, and fears about treatment. By taking the time to know their patients fully, a dental office can avoid falling victim to a \"one size fits all\" approach. Sometimes a treatment can be less aggressive or avoided altogether due to the significant advantage of knowing a patient’s long-term oral health history.</p>\r\n<p>A dental office can make sure a patient’s preferences in communication, education, and specialized care are all taken into consideration.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-office v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Office services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\r\n<!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A dental office can make sure a patient’s preferences in communication, education, and specialized care are all taken into consideration.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-office v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Office services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\r\n<p id=\"dental-office-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 Dental Office 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-Dental-Office\">Dental Office in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-office v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-office v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about education requirements\"><!-- Section 4 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"education-requirements-dental-office\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Education Requirements</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>A dental office is owned and operated by someone who attended four years of dental school after college and is a licensed Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine.

Our team offers a range of general dentistry services. We take pride in helping patients resolve even the most stubborn dental concerns.

Others are a sprawling clinic with several locations. Before choosing a new provider, take some time to understand the differences between various dental practices. A single provider often establishes private dental practices. The dentist may employ an office manager and dental hygienist as well. Larger clinics may feature several dentists and trained team members. At these locations, many dental providers work together.</p>\n<p>Some general dental practices may offer specialized services. These practices typically provide orthodontic care, wisdom tooth removal, or cosmetic treatments. Team members must receive specialized training before they can offer these services. Patients who are unsure what services they may need can look to a general dentist for help. General dentists can provide referrals for oral surgery and other complex procedures. Insurance providers can assist, too. They can determine which local dentists are in-network and accepting new patients.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-practice v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding different dental practices\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"General dentists can provide referrals for oral surgery and other complex procedures.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-practice v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about practices may employ multiple providers\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"advantages-disadvantages-large-dental-practice\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Practices May Employ Multiple Providers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>In the past, most dentists operated standalone practices. They often hired a hygienist or trained assistant, but they served as the only dentist on-site. Today, however, many providers have chosen to join large practices. Large practices offer scheduling advantages for both patients and providers. With several dentists on site, patients receive care when they need it. The dentists can enjoy a consistent work schedule and take vacations as they choose.</p>\n<p>Large dental practices can also streamline workflow. One provider may treat patients with gum disease, while another provider takes care of orthodontic referrals. This setup lets each dentist make the most of their skills. Patients can receive personalized advice from the most qualified provider in the clinic, but some patients may not enjoy working with multiple providers. If you prefer to build a relationship with a single provider, you may want to choose a solo dental practice.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-practice v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-practice v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about practices may employ multiple providers\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Large practices offer scheduling advantages for both patients and providers.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-practice v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about choosing the right practice\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"look-for-in-a-dental-provider\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Choosing the Right Practice</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Before selecting a new dental practice, patients should consider their needs and preferences. Many patients prefer to receive care from a certain gender. Others may want a dentist with several decades of experience. Make sure a prospective provider meets these needs.</p>\n<p>With large practices, there is no guarantee that you will always see the same provider. Patients may be shuffled between each dentist at the practice. Some patients do not mind this arrangement, but for patients who prefer to work with a single provider, this might be a deal-breaker.</p>\n<p>While making a choice, consider whether a family dental provider might come in handy. Patients with young children may want to choose a provider who treats pediatric concerns. Ask about orthodontic care and other specialized services, too. Not every provider is equipped to treat specialized dental concerns. But with a little research, patients may be able to arrange a \"one-stop-shop\" for their family dental needs. Choosing a centralized provider can save time and cut down on travel.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-practice v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about choosing the right practice\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Before selecting a new dental practice, patients should consider their needs and preferences.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-practice v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Practice services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-practice-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 Dental Practice 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-Dental-Practice\">Dental Practice in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-practice v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-practice v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about services to look for at a dental practice\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"services-general-dentist-provide\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Services to Look for at a Dental Practice</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>When choosing a new dental practice, consider what services the office provides.

Some dental practices are operated by a single dentist. Other practices have many team members working under the same roof. Both arrangements offer some advantages. Before selecting a dental practice, consider what features are most important to you.</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\">Will I always work with the same dentist?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">If you choose a solo dental practice, you\'ll always work with the same dentist. However, you might have occasional difficulty securing an appointment. If you opt for a larger clinic, you might find it more convenient to schedule your visits. But you might be shuffled between several dental providers. Patients must determine which arrangement suits their needs.</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 happens if I need specialized dental care?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some dental practices offer specialized services on-site. Others refer patients to a different provider if they need specialized care. Before signing up with a new dentist, ask for a complete list of services. Discuss the referral process and determine what will happen if you need dental care the office doesn\'t provide.</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\">Can my new dentist take care of everyone in my family?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Many general dentists proudly care for patients of all ages. However, some offices might have age policies. If you have young children, your dental provider may recommend a pediatric dentist. Ask your dental practice whether they routinely treat young children.</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\">Do general dentists offer orthodontics?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some dentists undergo additional training in orthodontics. These providers are qualified to offer treatment like clear aligners or retainers. If these services are important to you, check to make sure your new dentist offers them. If your provider isn\'t qualified to deliver orthodontics, they may refer you to another dental practice.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ dental-practice v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"dental-practice 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.

Patients may require various dental procedures (such as dental fillings, dental crowns, root canals, tooth replacements, root scaling and planing, and tooth extractions) if they are dealing with tooth decay, tooth damage, or gum disease. Many different factors can cause tooth damage, such as teeth grinding (bruxism) or trauma.

They may consist of different materials, such as metal or porcelain. They may enhance or restore a tooth\'s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns may also help hold damaged teeth together and support teeth with large fillings where there is little remaining natural tooth left. Dentists may employ dental crowns to keep bridges in place, disguise misshapen or discolored teeth, or cover dental implants. Getting a dental crown requires at least two separate office visits, as the dentist will need to take X-rays, impressions, or scans to ensure the patient will have the correct fit.</p>\n<p>Patients may need root canal treatment if the pulp of their teeth is inflamed or infected. This could be due to deep decay, excessive dental procedures, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. It is even possible for a tooth to have undergone trauma without any visible chips or cracks. Root canal treatment involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and filling and sealing the remaining space. The dentist will then restore the tooth with either a crown or filling for protection. This will allow it to function like a natural tooth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-procedures v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-procedures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about dental crowns & root canal treatments\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental crowns, also known as \"caps,\" are meant to protect and repair damaged or weak teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-procedures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-procedures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Procedures services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-procedures-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 Dental Procedures 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-Dental-Procedures\">Dental Procedures in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-procedures v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-procedures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about tooth replacement & root scaling and planing\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-tooth-replacements-options\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Tooth Replacement & Root Scaling and Planing</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Replacing missing teeth is more than just an aesthetic matter.

Fortunately, effective replacement options are available. <a title=\"Read more about 3 Options for Replacing Missing Teeth\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/missing-teeth#bridge\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Procedures\">Some of the most common</a> include dental implants, fixed dental bridges, and removable partial dentures.

When it comes to treating this condition, early detection is key. As long as the disease has not yet reached the structures below the gum line, a root scaling and planing (also known as a deep tooth cleaning) may be able to reverse its effects. The procedure consists of the dentist removing all the plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line, then smoothing out the patient\'s teeth roots to assist the gums in reattaching to the teeth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 dental-procedures v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"dental-procedures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about tooth replacement & root scaling and planing\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Over time, gaps in between teeth may negatively impact a patient\'s speech, eating, bite, and facial appearance.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 dental-procedures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"dental-procedures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Dental Procedures\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Direct dental restorations or fillings are necessary to stop the decay process while leaving the teeth intact. Fillings can also restore fractured, broken teeth, or worn down teeth resulting from misuse such as nail-biting or tooth grinding.</p>\n<p>Indirect dental restorations are necessary when a filling is not enough to restore teeth functionality. Crowns are good restorative options for unstable teeth, while a bridge can replace multiple damaged teeth to restore proper chewing function.

Children should get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as they come in. The first molars usually appear around six years old and the second molars roughly six years later. Sealants will protect teeth through a child’s most cavity-prone years.</p>\n<p>Dental sealants may also benefit baby teeth. Since baby teeth play such an important role in the correct spacing of permanent teeth, it is important to keep those teeth healthy and in place until they are ready to come out. When determining whether to have sealants applied to a younger child, make sure the child can keep their mouth open for an extended period and sit still for the procedure.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-sealants v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-sealants v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the right age for sealants\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Children should get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as they come in.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-sealants v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<style>\n.info-styling {\nborder-radius: 8px;\nbackground-color: white;\nborder-width: 10px !important;\nborder: solid;\nmargin: 0 auto;\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 80%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block info-styling SPIG\"><!—Infographic Group - Dental Sealants -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Dental sealants infographic: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dental sealants prevent 80% of cavities over 2 years in the back teeth.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/dental-sealants/#advantages-and-disadvantages-of-dental-sealants\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Dental-Sealants\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/prevents-80-cavities.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/prevents-80-cavities.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/prevents-80-cavities.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dental sealants infographic: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dental sealants prevent 80% of cavities over 2 years in the back teeth.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Dental sealants infographic: Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/dental-sealants/#age-to-get-sealants\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Dental-Sealants\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-can-get-dental-sealants.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-can-get-dental-sealants.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-can-get-dental-sealants.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dental sealants infographic: Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content section-block info-styling --><!-- /Infographic Group - Dental Sealants -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-sealants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the advantages and disadvantages\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"advantages-and-disadvantages-of-dental-sealants\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Advantages and Disadvantages</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>In addition to their protective properties, dental sealants have longevity and durability. <a title=\"Read more about Dental Sealants Prevent Cavities\" href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/dental-sealants/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Sealants\">Research has shown they prevent 80% of cavities for two years</a> after application and continue to protect against 50% of cavities for up to four years. Sealants can even stay in the mouth for as long as nine years.</p>\n<p>There are some disadvantages. Children may need to have sealants reapplied if they fall out, chip, or wear away. Dental sealants can get chipped or worn when a patient bites into hard food or eats too much food with high acidic content. It’s best to keep a close eye on what a child with sealants consumes, especially right after the sealant is applied. A patient’s bite can feel slightly off after application due to the extra layer on the tooth, but this is temporary. During a regular dental visit, we will check the sealant’s condition and reapply them as needed. Sealants need to be monitored and maintained during routine visits to ensure they do not wear away.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-sealants v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-sealants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the advantages and disadvantages\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"In addition to their protective properties, dental sealants have longevity and durability.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-sealants v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-sealants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Sealants services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-sealants-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 Dental Sealants 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-Dental-Sealants\">Dental Sealants in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-sealants v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-sealants v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the dental sealant procedure\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-are-dental-sealants-applied\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Dental Sealant Procedure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The procedure used to apply dental sealants is quick and painless. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried. We will then apply an acidic gel to the tooth surface to help create a strong bond between the tooth and the sealant. Once the gel is rinsed off and the teeth dried again, the sealant is applied to the grooves of the chewing surface.

This plastic coating bonds to the tooth’s surface. This protects the tooth from lingering food and bacteria, helping to prevent decay.</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\">Who should get dental sealants?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Children and adults can receive dental sealants. However, we typically recommend them for children and teens to help prevent cavities.

It will depend on factors, such as the location, insurance plan, and the number of treated teeth. Patients should contact their insurance provider for more information.</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\">Are dental sealants painful?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The process of applying dental sealants is convenient and painless. We brush the plastic coating onto teeth, which does not cause any pain.
