Making a Healthy Smile at NY Center for Aesthetic and Laser Dentistry
A healthy smile is more than just aesthetically pleasing—it’s a sign of overall health and well-being. At NY Center for Aesthetic and Laser Dentistry, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles and healthy bodies.
Our complete health dentistry approach includes regular checkups, professional cleanings, and personalized oral hygiene instructions. We believe in the power of preventive care and education in maintaining optimal oral health.
What Is a Dental Health Scan?
A dental health scan is a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, which serves as a cornerstone of our preventive care philosophy. Each scan includes the following:
- Medical History and Consultation | The process kicks off with a meticulous review of your medical history, as this can reveal potential risk factors and help us better treat you. We understand that each patient is unique, and the details in your medical history help us tailor our dental strategies to meet your individual needs.
- Dental Health Exam | Following this, our skilled dental professionals conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and the entire oral cavity. This includes assessing the health of your teeth and checking for signs of decay, cavities, or damage. Your gums are also examined for any signs of gum disease, such as redness, swelling, or deep pockets between the teeth and gums.
- Oral Cancer Screening | We don’t stop there. We also inspect your mouth for any indications of oral cancer, including checking your tongue, throat, face, neck, and tissues in and around the oral cavity for any signs of abnormalities or issues. This is a crucial step as early detection can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment.
- High-End Dental Technology | Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and technologies play a pivotal role in this process. From digital x-rays providing detailed images of your mouth’s structure, to intraoral cameras allowing us to see parts of the mouth that are difficult to view with the naked eye, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to your oral health. By integrating these advanced tools into our dental health scans, we ensure an accurate and detailed assessment, laying a solid foundation for a personalized treatment plan.
The dental health scan doesn’t merely help us detect potential problems early on, but it also paves the way for preventive care. By understanding your oral health at its deepest level, we can recommend strategies and treatments that not only address current issues but also prevent future ones.
At the end of the day, our goal is to ensure you maintain a healthy, radiant smile and enjoy the best oral health possible. Call our office today to learn more!
Dental Hygiene and Regular Cleanings
Maintaining a sparkling smile goes beyond daily brushing and flossing—regular professional teeth cleanings are an integral part of good dental hygiene.
While at-home care effectively removes plaque and helps deter tooth decay and gum disease, professional cleanings by a dental hygienist are necessary to eliminate tartar, a hardened form of plaque that can’t be removed by simple brushing. Moreover, these cleanings reach the challenging areas that may often be overlooked in daily routines.

Their friendly demeanor, patience, and dedication aim to transform your dental cleaning experience into a comfortable, beneficial, and insightful journey toward lasting oral health.
When Should I Take My Child to the Dentist?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that a child’s first dental visit should occur within six months after the first tooth appears, but no later than the child’s first birthday.
Regular dental visits from a young age can help your child maintain good oral health and develop a positive attitude toward dental care. Our team is experienced in pediatric dentistry and strives to make dental visits fun and stress-free for our young patients.

Invisalign and Sleep Apnea Dentist for Total Oral and Overall Health
Good oral hygiene and regular teeth cleaning are crucial, but treating sleep apnea and aligning teeth with Invisalign are equally important for your overall health. At NY Center for Aesthetic and Laser Dentistry, we address these concerns comprehensively.
- Sleep Apnea Treatments: Our sleep apnea treatments, including oral appliance therapy, not only improve sleep quality but also reduce systemic health risks associated with the condition. Treating sleep apnea supports both oral and overall health, highlighting the connection between a well-rested body and a healthy mouth.
- Invisalign: Beyond aesthetics, Invisalign plays a vital role in oral health by making teeth easier to clean, thus reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth contribute to better chewing, digestion, and overall oral hygiene, proving that a straight smile is a healthier smile.
Our holistic approach to dental care ensures that treatments like sleep apnea management and Invisalign are integral to maintaining not just oral health, but your overall physical well-being too. By offering these alongside traditional dental hygiene services, we provide a comprehensive care strategy aimed at enhancing your health holistically.
