Our skilled dental team offers a wide range of services, including routine care, cosmetic treatments, and solutions for more complex dental issues. Dr. Zachary Weiss and Dr. Abraham Stein are both highly experienced dentists who are dedicated to helping their patients achieve and maintain a healthy smile. Their goal is to improve each patient’s oral health and create a smile they’ll love for life.
Family Dental Care
At Stein Center for Advanced Dentistry, we provide dental care for the whole family, treating patients of all ages. We recommend bringing your child in for regular visits once their first teeth come in. This allows us to monitor their dental development and catch any problems early. Early care can prevent more serious dental issues down the road and help your child build good habits for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
Visiting a family dentist means you can take care of your entire family’s dental needs in one place. Everyone can be seen during the same visit, which makes it more convenient for you and can help ease any fear your child might have by seeing the same dentist you do.
Routine Dental Care
General dentistry is at the heart of what we do. The goal is to keep dental issues from developing by seeing our patients twice a year for checkups. During these visits, you will:
- Receive a comprehensive oral exam
- Be screened for dental cavities, gum disease and oral cancer
- Receive a thorough teeth cleaning
- When necessary, we also offer patient education, x-rays, and fluoride treatments
We also offer x-rays, fluoride treatments, and patient education when needed. If a dental issue is found, such as a cavity or early gum disease, we’ll recommend treatment right away. Treating problems early is the most gentle way to stop them from getting worse.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
If you’re not happy with the look of your smile, we offer many cosmetic treatments to help. Whether your teeth are uneven, misshapen, crooked, or stained, we can create a custom plan to improve your smile. After meeting with Dr. Weiss or Dr. Stein, they’ll suggest the treatments that can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted. Your plan may include one or more of the following treatments:
- Invisalign®: Invisalign® uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are nearly invisible and custom-made for each patient. Patients wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day and can take them out to eat or brush their teeth. Invisalign® is a discreet way to improve your smile, and it works for both teens and adults.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the front of teeth, helping improve their look. Dentists bond these veneers to the teeth to fix issues like chips, stains, or crooked teeth. Made from strong porcelain, veneers usually require two visits. In the first visit, the dentist prepares your teeth, and in the second, they bond the veneers.
- Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding is a quick and affordable way to fix cracks, chips, or gaps in teeth. The dentist applies a tooth-colored resin, shapes it, and polishes it. This process takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth and can also change the shape of teeth. Cosmetic bonding is a less invasive option compared to veneers and can last several years with proper care.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening helps remove stains and discoloration for a brighter smile. Dentists use bleaching agents, and the process can be done in the office or at home. In-office whitening gives immediate results, while at-home kits take more time but offer flexibility. Regular touch-ups will keep teeth bright.
Treatment for Complex Dental Problems
Dr. Abraham E. Stein is a skilled prosthodontist who specializes in replacing missing or damaged teeth. At the Stein Center for Advanced Dentistry, we offer a range of services, including dental implants, which are the top choice for replacing lost teeth. Dr. Stein has received advanced training in implants and is recognized as a top dentist in this field.
Tooth damage can happen due to decay, gum disease, poor hygiene, or bite problems. We offer several treatments beyond implants to fix damaged or missing teeth. Here are some of the treatments we provide:
- Dental implants: Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium post and a crown. The post acts as a new tooth root, and the crown looks and works like a real tooth. Implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Dentures: Dentures replace missing teeth and nearby tissues. Full dentures replace all the teeth, while partial dentures fill in the gaps where some teeth are missing. Dentures help bring back normal function and appearance. Dentures improve chewing and speech, but they need regular cleaning and care.
- Dental bridge: A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It includes two crowns and a false tooth. The dentist places the crowns on the teeth next to the gap, and the false tooth fills the space. With good care, bridges can last many years and also keep other teeth from shifting out of place.
- Dental crown: A dental crown is a cover for a damaged tooth. It restores the tooth’s size, shape, and strength. Crowns not only improve the way the tooth looks but also make it stronger. Crowns can last many years with good care and protect the tooth from further harm.
- Dental bonding: Dental bonding is a way to fix damaged teeth. Bonding can repair chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth. The process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes for each tooth. Bonding can also change the shape of teeth and is less invasive than veneers.
- TMJ treatment: TMJ treatment helps with problems in the jaw joint, known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). These issues can cause pain and trouble moving the jaw. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, or a mouth guard. In more serious cases, surgery might be needed. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how the joint works.
