Root Canal Treatment

Possibly the most misunderstood of all dental procedures, root canal therapy is an extremely safe, relatively painless form of treatment. Each of your teeth contains a long, thin strand of pulp that extends down into the root of the tooth. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed, the result is often excruciating tooth pain and, over time, the death of the tooth. Root canal therapy involves the removal of this affected pulp through a gap in the tooth’s natural crown. Once this pulp is removed, the root canal is filled and the tooth is sealed with a porcelain crown. One of the primary advantages of root canal therapy is that it allows you to preserve most of your natural tooth, which is preferable to its extraction.

For root canal treatment in Hicksville, visit Philip M. Tornatore for the professional and high-quality care you deserve.

Orthodontics

We believe in interceptive orthodontics for children. At every recall appointment, a child’s teeth and occlusion is evaluated. Minor orthodontics is treated at the office along with Invisalign®, the invisible clear aligner therapy. We correct the following malocclusions:

> Constricted arch: corrected using a palatal expander
> Crossbites: corrected using Hawley appliances and finger springs
> Vaulted palates from thumb sucking

If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, but don’t want to deal with the hassles of conventional braces, Invisalign® is the answer. This simple and effective orthodontic treatment option will give you the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign® makes use of a series of clear, removable, customized dental forms that fit comfortably in a patient's mouth.

The virtually invisible dental aligners are each worn for about two weeks and can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Invisalign® generally requires 18 to 30 aligners throughout the entire treatment process, each of which is progressively modified to straighten your teeth little by little over a period of nine to fifteen months. Appointments will be made every four to six weeks to monitor your progress and ensure proper treatment.
