Dr. Dory Stutman: AACD Accredited Dentist

February 6, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 11:22 pm

Our very own Dr. Dory Stutman recently reached Accredited status in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). This is a very prestigious award to recognize dental professionals that are committed to providing the highest quality cosmetic dentistry work possible.

The AACD is an organization for people dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. Founded in December of 1984, the organization now has over 6,000 members from 70 countries around the world. Members include dental professionals, laboratory technicians, educators and researchers.

While there are a lot of members, only about 336 members are Accredited, making it a very prestigious title.

Accreditation is a lengthy process that starts with taking a written exam. Then, the dentist will have five years to complete the rest of the requirements. They’ll attend two required workshops, submit clinical cases and perform an oral examination.

Dr. Dory Stutman has accomplished all of these requirements and will be formally recognized at the next AACD Scientific Session that will be held from April 24-27 in Seattle, Washington. This will also be printed in the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry.

We’re very proud of Dr. Dory Stutman and are very happy that his talents will be formally recognized. Congratulate him the next time you’re in for an appointment!

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 9:14 pm

In a recent blog post, we briefly mentioned at the end that here at South Shore Dental Care, we offer something very few other practices can – two dentists of different focuses who can consult together on your diagnoses and procedures. Today, we’d like to elaborate a little on what this could mean for you and your smile. At our Massapequa, NY office, we understand that you certainly don’t have the time to visit several dentists in order to assure you’re getting the best care available. We want to help you feel comfortable with our services and completely informed about what we can offer you, without you even having to leave the comfort of your computer chair!

Twice the support, twice the skill

While our husband-wife team offers a variety of procedures, from family dentistry to restorative procedures to multiple sedation techniques, they both focus on specific areas of dental care, meaning that you get a double-helping of expertise whenever you come in for care. Dr. Dory Stutman can offer you five-star cosmetic care, while Dr. Khalida Stutman specializes in orthodontic treatment.

Although dentists are experienced and well-trained professionals, when it comes to tough or tricky cases, it can help to have another qualified opinion available to you. After all, two heads is better than one!  At South Shore Dental Care, you won’t ever have to worry about needing a second opinion. It’s already available right here in our office, with both doctors looking and consulting on your specific issues and needs.

In addition, by being able to combine orthodontics with other treatment, we’ll able to offer you very conservative treatment. When having porcelain veneers fitted, you’ll have minimal or even no preparation veneers, enamel shaping, or bonding. This can be a big help to patients, especially those who are concerned about drilling or sensitivity.

Here at South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing you with the most effective and informed service available. You’ll be back to sharing your smile with the world in no time!  Call our office today to schedule your consultation appointment.

Straighten Your Smile More Simply With Invisalign

January 16, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 11:58 pm

As an adult, it can sometimes feel like you’ve missed your chance to have a beautiful, straight smile – after all, you’ve got a professional image to worry about, and traditional metal braces can make it seem like you’re stuck in junior high again. That’s not even taking into account the amount of time they take to make a difference in your smile – years, in most cases. Here at South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing you with better, faster options concerning your dental care. That’s why we’re offering Invisalign at our Massapequa office, a more invisible, comfortable, and effective option for straightening your teeth.

Several benefits, one beautiful outcome

Created from detailed impressions of your teeth, Invisalign uses a series of clear, smooth plastic aligners to straighten teeth. One of the greatest benefits of using Invisalign is that you can easily remove it in order to eat, brush, and floss. No food is off-limits to you, and you’ll be able to keep your teeth cleaner without having to work around pesky brackets and wires.

In addition, your Invisalign braces will fit you comfortably and nearly invisibly, allowing you to avoid the looks and passing judgments that can come with traditional metal braces. What if you want to be sure you won’t have to explain them, though? If you have an important event coming up, like a graduation or wedding, no worries! Just leave your aligners out for a night, allowing you to enjoy all the fun to the fullest.

And best of all, our Massapequa dental team can have your treatment completed in an average of one year – half the time traditional braces usually take. What could be better?

Ring in the New Year with a great deal

If Invisalign seems like a surefire way to make your smile shine, you’re in luck! Mention this ad on our website, and you’ll receive a full $1,000 dollars off Invisalign here at South Shore Dental Care. In addition, we’ll provide you with free bleach after your treatment – a value of $400, available to you at no cost.

Do you want to learn more about orthodontic treatment with Invisalign? Our doctors at South Shore Dental Care here in Massapequa are ready to answer your questions.

AACD-Accredited Care in Massapequa, NY

January 2, 2013

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 11:57 pm

Here at South Shore Dental Care in Massapequa, we’ve got big news to share with our patients. Dr. Dory Stutman has passed the last clinical exam needed to become accredited in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (the AACD)! While he still has an oral exam to take before his accreditation is made official, this is big news.

What does that mean, exactly?

Accreditation by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is an important goal for a cosmetic dentist. For one, it shows that he or she has the skills, expertise, and dedication needed to provide his patients with the best care available. In addition, the AACD provides its members with many opportunities to further their dental education, from conferences to an online journal to several opportunities for virtual learning. In the ever-evolving world of dental techniques and procedures, keeping up-to-date with new information is key. Now, Dr. Stutman will have new and more easily available resources open to him, allowing him to continually update his service for you, his patients.

Plus, it isn’t an easy group to become a part of, by any means. In all of Long Island, only three other dentists besides Dr. Stutman are AACD accredited, out of well over 500 practices in business today. In Nassau county, that number narrows down to only one other dentist. Pretty impressive, right?

Congratulations to Dr. Stutman for his accomplishment! Here at South Shore Dental Care in Massapequa, we’d like to remind you that we offer expert cosmetic dental services along with top-notch orthodontic treatment. With the husband-wife team of Drs. Dory and Khalida Stutman, patients will have essentially two dentists consulting on their treatment, resulting in a quicker turnaround time for treatments such as veneers, enamel shaping, and bonding.

We’re ready to bring a smile to your face! Call our office today to schedule your consultation appointment. In addition to Massapequa, we also serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.

A Comfortable, Convenient Alternative to Traditional Braces with Invisalign

July 27, 2012

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 12:36 am

While traditional braces may be exactly what some patients need, they can be an obstacle for others who are worried about spending over a year behind metal brackets and wires. That’s why South Shore Dental Care offers Invisalign clear braces. With Invisalign, patients from Massapequa and beyond can achieve a straighter, more dazzling smile in less time. What’s more, treatment with Invisalign comes with three great benefits.

The Benefits of Invisalign Clear Braces

Three words can used to describe orthodontic treatment with Invisalign—removable, comfortable, and attractive.

Let’s start with that last word—attractive—first. Because Invisalign uses clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires, you can enjoy greater discretion than you can with traditional braces. Instead of drawing attention to your teeth, you can work towards your goal of a straighter smile without anyone but you and your doctor at South Shore Dental Care knowing about your treatment.

Because Invisalign uses custom-made aligners instead of brackets and wires, orthodontic treatment with Invisalign is also more comfortable. There’s nothing to tighten, and because your aligners are made from smooth plastic, you don’t have to worry about them irritating the inside of your mouth and gums, reducing any discomfort you might experience.

And lastly, but certainly not least, Invisalign’s clear aligners are removable. That means you can take them about to eat, and to brush and floss. As a result, you never have to give up on your favorite foods, and you can also keep your teeth and gums cleaner than you can with traditional braces, which can easily trap food and contribute to problems with tooth decay and gum disease.

Do you want to learn more about orthodontic treatment with Invisalign? Our doctors at South Shore Dental Care are ready to answer your questions. Call our office today to schedule your consultation appointment. Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman serve patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh.

 

A Discrete Solution to a Straighter Smile with Invisalign Braces from Dr. Khalida Stutman

July 25, 2011

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 8:20 am

invisalignTraditional braces may be the most well-known method for correcting a smile, but they aren’t your only option. If you want a straighter smile but don’t want to lose the professional image you’ve cultivated, consider Invisalign clear braces from Dr. Khalida Thompson.

Invisalign offers a discrete and convenient method for bringing your teeth into alignment, granting you the confident new smile you’ve been dreaming of.

Improve Your Smile without Sacrificing Your Professional Image

What makes Invisalign such a great option for adult patients? The most obvious benefit is that they’re clear.

But more than that, they’re also removable. Made from clear acrylic aligners custom made to fit your teeth, Invisalign clear braces can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, and special events-whether that be a meeting at work, a family reunion, or some other social event. And because Invisalign clear braces don’t need to be tightened, we only need to see you ever four to six weeks to make sure you’re progressing as expected.

If you want to learn more about Invisalign, or if you want to schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Khalida Stutman, just give us a call. Our office is located in North Massapequa and serves patients from New York City, Manhattan, Long Island, Merrick, greater Nassau County, and surrounding areas.

Brace Yourself for a Straighter Smile—In Only Six Months!

June 28, 2011

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentist,Cosmetic Dentistry,Six Month Smiles,Smile Makeovers — Tags: , , , , , , — Dr. Stutman's Office @ 1:38 am

shutterstock_7441711Did you know you can straighten your teeth in only six months? It’s true! Sure, conventional braces are used as corrective measures for problematic bites, or other structural issues. But not everyone needs the long-term solution of traditional orthodontia to get a beautiful smile. In fact, all you may need is Six Month Smiles®!

What is Six Month Smiles?

Braces are the most effective means to straighten teeth and correct your bite. But if you’re an adult, wearing conventional braces can feel “too junior high.” With Six Month Smiles, you’ll get straighter teeth without the long wait, or the conspicuous metalwork. Dr. Kalinda Stutman will use the tooth-colored wires and brackets to create your perfect smile.

How does Six Month Smiles work?

Six Month Smiles uses low force to move teeth more quickly and comfortably-in months instead of years. The system focuses on straightening the front teeth, the ones visible when you smile. The clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are made of nickel titanium. Your orthodontia will be virtually unnoticeable.

Is Six Month Smiles safe and comfortable?

Yes! Six Month Smiles offers no more risk than traditional braces. In fact, there are fewer risks. The forces used to move your teeth are much lighter, and you don’t need to worry about constant tightening of the wires. And you’ll get nearly the same terrific results in a lot less time!

With Six Month Smiles, you don’t have to commit the same amount of time and money as you would with regular braces. Call Dr. Kalinda Stutman and her team at South Shore Dental Care to learn more about Six Month Smiles.
