Bonding

Here at our dental practice, we offer restorative, cosmetic, and endodontic treatments. One of the essential dental treatments we provide our patients is dental bonding, which is made from a resin that can be mixed to match the patient’s teeth. There are many reasons to get bonding, whether it is to fill a gap or help with teeth that are cracked and susceptible to breaking even further.

Our patients getting bonding benefit in the following ways:

• ·         Fill gaps between their teeth.


• ·         Fix cracked or chipped teeth.


• ·         Cover discoloration or staining of the teeth.


• ·         Provide an alternative to metal fillings for tooth decay or cavities.


• ·         Help correct misshapen teeth.


• ·         Cover exposed roots as a result of receding gums.

Before getting bonding done, no preparation is required and anesthesia usually isn’t needed. It is a simple procedure that is completed in a single visit. Bonding is a great alternative to other cosmetic options for filling cavities or fixing various imperfections in the patient’s teeth.

Dental Hygiene

Here at the Nina Kiani, DMD practice, we urge our patients to take good care of their teeth, including focusing on proper dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is important for a variety of reasons, including keeping the teeth and gums clean, protecting oral health, preventing infections and other dental issues, and having fresh breath. Dental hygiene includes brushing and flossing twice a day, and using fluoride in their toothpaste and mouthwash. It also includes visiting us twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning.

Most of our patients know to brush their teeth regularly, but may not have the right technique. Dr. Nina Kiani offers education for proper brushing technique. This includes brushing their teeth with the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle, brushing their tongue to remove bacteria, cleaning the insides of the teeth and tilting the brush vertically to reach these places of the teeth, and brushing in wide strokes. By using these important techniques and focusing on all areas of dental hygiene, our patients have excellent oral health and prevent more serious complications.

If you are due (or past due) for your six month dental exam and cleaning, call our office in New York, NY at (212) 279-8770 to schedule your appointment.

Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns

Keeping natural teeth is something every one of our patients hopes to achieve. Unfortunately, many of them are at risk of losing their teeth from decay, gum disease, or weakened teeth that could crack or fracture. By getting crowns placed over their teeth, Dr. Nina Kiani helps patients protect the original tooth structure.

Here at Nina Kiani, DMD, we use different materials for crowns, including porcelain, gold and porcelain fused to metal. These are the most stable and long-term materials available. The process for crowns goes as follows:

1. The patient’s tooth is prepared by contouring and filing down the structure to make room for the crown.

2. Impressions are taken of the tooth and sent off to the lab to make the permanent crown.

3. The patient wears a temporary crown for about two weeks, until the permanent crown is fabricated.

4. Dr. Kiani bonds the permanent crown to the patient’s tooth.

From start to finish, crowns are completed in as little as 2-3 visits to our office. It is a simple process with minimal work needed. Call our office at 212-279-8770 to ask us in detail about crowns, the benefits and how the process works.
