Crowns Made Simple with CEREC

May 12, 2014

CEREC crownOne of the amazing things about living in such a hi-tech age is the ability to improve the lives of others, including the world of dentistry. At South Shore Dental Care, we make it a priority to be aware with the modern technology to benefit our patients. Because of that, we offer CEREC same-day crowns, a machine that makes the idea of getting crowns a thing of the past.

CEREC same-day crowns give our experienced doctors the ability to create a crown made specifically for you in a single appointment, beginning to end. The course of action starts with routinely preparing your natural tooth for crown placement. A scanner then examines your natural tooth and the adjacent area, and that information is sent to a computer. After the computer analyzes the information, it presents a picture of the crown that will be initiated. The computer communicates with the milling machine in our office, the machine that makes your custom crown. Your CEREC crown is then chiseled from a solitary block of porcelain. The machine makes your crown in about 10-20 minutes, and uses porcelain that exactly matches your natural tooth color. Once your crown is finished, it is cemented onto your prepared tooth. After all is done, you’re left with nothing but a beautiful, flawless smile you can be proud of.

One of the perks of CEREC one-day crowns is the fact the crown is metal and mercury free, giving you a natural look to your smile. Another benefit is that CEREC crowns offer a more durable security than traditional crowns, ideal for teeth toward the back of the mouth. There are no impressions that need to be made for CEREC crowns, erasing the mess and discomfort associated with impression making. Having over 25 years of analysis and elated patients, there is no doubt CEREC same-day crowns will change the way you look at crowns and cosmetic dentistry forever!

At South Shore Dental Care, we’re committed to providing our patients with a wide array of dental services, high-quality cosmetic dentistry, and up to the minute dental technology. Our Massapequa dental office serves patients from Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh. Call us today to schedule your appointment.

Dr. Dory Stutman: AACD Accredited Dentist

February 6, 2013

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.

Get Twice the Expertise for Your Teeth in Massapequa, NY

January 30, 2013

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

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.

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.

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

July 25, 2011

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.
