Panorex

We work hard to provide our patients with the most technologically advanced treatment options available. One of the best tools we utilize is the  Panorex system that takes incredible 360 degree images of your teeth, head, sinuses and bones. This xray is about 25% enlarged than the actual size of teeth.  This also provides information about many vital anatomy of the Upper and Lower jaw in one Panoramic Xray. Our Elmhurst, NY area patients are enjoying the benefits from having their Wisdom teeth removed, and are able to know whether they are a candidate of Dental implant in areas of missing teeth. Panoramic xray is good tool in the treament planing of patients .

 

With this technology, we are able to view the full structure of your head. This is great because we are now able to see any potential problems more clearly. We will also be able to see whether or not your mouth and jaw is functioning correctly. The Panorex is capable of viewing specific structural problems, infections and asymmetry any asymmetry in the area. 

 

If you haven’t had a Panorex X-Ray before, you’re going to be surprised how simple and safe it is. We’ll give you a lead apron to protect you from the radiation (digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional systems), but you’ll be standing rather than sitting. A camera will rotate in a half circle around your head, starting at one side of the jaw and ending at the other. The imaging only about 20 seconds and the images are available at the same visit.

Snap On Smile

Patients that are looking for a non-invasive, reversible, affordable approach to restorative and cosmetic dentistry are excellent candidates for Snap-On-Smile. The procedure is quick and effective, making it a great option for patients who want to look and feel better. At Family Dental Rego Park, we construct new smiles for our patients every day using this innovative technology.

 

Snap-On Smile is a comfortable, removable dental application that uses the patients existing tooth structure to improve their smile. The device is made from a durable and stain resistant acetyl resin and is can be up to .5mm thin without compromising strength. Dr. Verma collaborates with you in order to determine what shade and style you are hoping for.

 

The procedure is quite simple. Dr. Verma will take photos and impressions of your teeth. The molds are sent to a dental lab where the Snap-On Smile appliance is created in about two weeks. Once the device is ready, Dr. Verma will explain the insertion and removal process and basic maintenance procedures. From there, you will be able to enjoy a new-look smile that you can be proud of. Snap-On Smile is a great solution for patients who are unable to receive permanent improvements, such as crowns, veneers and implants because they are medically compromised.

 

Typically, our patients do not experience any adverse effects from their Snap-On Smile. Patients are not limited to what they can eat and drink, though right after the procedure it is recommended that patients begin with a soft-food diet. Speech is not affected by these custom-fit appliances either. Patients may experience some trouble within the first couple hours of their procedure, but this varies by patient and often diminishes quickly.

Bleeding Gums and Diabetes are co-related.  When Bleeding gums are treated it has a direct effect on controlling the blood sugar and vice versa.  The main cause of Bleeding gums is Poor Oral hygiene which causes bacterial growth in the mouth.  These bacteria also cause micro ulcerations in the gums and bacteria can travel through small blood vessels into the body and can cause plaque deposit in the bigger blood vessels.  This may cause constriction of the blood vessels and dislodgment of the deposited plaque.  This can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease etc...  For more details please see the following article...
