What’s more, because Invisalign’s aligners are removable, you can take them out to enjoy your favorite foods, to brush and floss, and for important social appointments. That means you can finally enjoy a rejuvenated smile without putting your social life on hold or sacrificing your professional image.

Join Us for Our Upcoming Invisalign Open Houses!

You can find out much more about how Invisalign clear braces can completely transform your smile by visiting South Shore Dental’s Massapequa office on Wednesday, September 6th and Thursday, September 7th. Dr. Stutman will talk in detail about Invisalign’s many benefits and will be free to answer any questions you might have.  Call our office today to find out how you can attend, or to just schedule your next regular appointment with Dr. Stutman.

Invisalign offers a discrete and convenient method for bringing your teeth into alignment, granting you the confident new smile you’ve been dreaming of.

Improve Your Smile without Sacrificing Your Professional Image

What makes Invisalign such a great option for adult patients? The most obvious benefit is that they’re clear.

But more than that, they’re also removable. Made from clear acrylic aligners custom made to fit your teeth, Invisalign clear braces can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, and special events-whether that be a meeting at work, a family reunion, or some other social event. And because Invisalign clear braces don’t need to be tightened, we only need to see you ever four to six weeks to make sure you’re progressing as expected.

If you want to learn more about Invisalign, or if you want to schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Khalida Stutman, just give us a call. Our office is located in North Massapequa and serves patients from New York City, Manhattan, Long Island, Merrick, greater Nassau County, and surrounding areas.

The good news is, at Dr. Stutman’s Massapequa dental office you can. Using our CEREC machine, Dr. Stutman can mill the crown you need in about an hour, and then have you on your way again with no second or third visit necessary.

Quality and Convenience for Our Patients

Here’s how it works. If you have a damaged tooth that needs to be capped by a crown, all we need to do is take a 3D image of it. Using this as a guide, our CEREC machine will go to work on milling your new restoration.

The entire process only takes about an hour, during which you can rest comfortably in our office. Once your crown is ready, all we have to do is put it in place, and then you can get back to your regular schedule. No temporary crowns and no extra visits-just one appointment is all it takes to get your smile back in order.

To find out more about how our CEREC machine can have crowns ready for you in about an hour, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dory Stutman or Dr. Khalida Stutman, please give our Massapequa office a call today.

Having a crown placed has never been easier or more convenient for our patients.

What is Six Month Smiles?

Braces are the most effective means to straighten teeth and correct your bite. But if you’re an adult, wearing conventional braces can feel “too junior high.” With Six Month Smiles, you’ll get straighter teeth without the long wait, or the conspicuous metalwork. Dr. Kalinda Stutman will use the tooth-colored wires and brackets to create your perfect smile.

How does Six Month Smiles work?

Six Month Smiles uses low force to move teeth more quickly and comfortably-in months instead of years. The system focuses on straightening the front teeth, the ones visible when you smile. The clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are made of nickel titanium. Your orthodontia will be virtually unnoticeable.

Is Six Month Smiles safe and comfortable?

Yes! Six Month Smiles offers no more risk than traditional braces. In fact, there are fewer risks. The forces used to move your teeth are much lighter, and you don’t need to worry about constant tightening of the wires. And you’ll get nearly the same terrific results in a lot less time!

With Six Month Smiles, you don’t have to commit the same amount of time and money as you would with regular braces. Call Dr. Kalinda Stutman and her team at South Shore Dental Care to learn more about Six Month Smiles.

Before-and-after photo using porcelain veneers.

You have an important job interview. Your 15-year high school reunion is just around the corner. Your ex-boyfriend wants you to give a speech at his wedding (oh, brother). Do you have to show up with your same-old smile, self-consciously hiding crooked or stained teeth when you speak? Do you have to wear unsightly metal braces for years, visiting the orthodontist on your lunch breaks? No, no, no. There’s a brace-free secret that celebrities like Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and Demi Moore turn to for their flawless smiles.

The Secret to a Flawless Smile

Porcelain veneers have been used for years to transform dull, crooked, misshapen, and discolored teeth into red-carpet-ready smiles. These modern miracles are often termed instant orthodontics because of their power to remedy gaps and misalignments in just two visits. As cosmetic dentists, Dr. Dory Stutman and Dr. Khalida Stutman offer porcelain veneers at our Massapequa dental office.

With porcelain veneers, the possibilities are nearly limitless:

• Straighten slightly crooked teeth
• Lengthen short or “stubby” teeth
• Cover dingy, stained, or discolored teeth
• Unify uneven or misshapen teeth
• Eliminate gaps, chips, or breaks
• Create a wider or fuller smile
• Add volume to lips
• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
• Instantly look younger and healthier

Two Visits to Smile Success

Modern porcelain veneers are made from high quality dental porcelains that look natural, blend with your smile, and can be placed in two visits. At your first visit, your dentist will consider your goals, facial shape, coloring, and desires to create a custom treatment plan. Models and photographs will help you visualize the outcome. Once the porcelain veneers have been handcrafted, we can place them in a second appointment. The entire procedure is simple, safe, and effective, and your new veneers will resist stains and last long-term.

Visit our Massapequa dental office for a cosmetic consultation to learn if porcelain veneers are right for you. As two of the leading cosmetic dentists in the Long Island area, Dr. Stutman and Stutman combine knowledge and expertise to create beautiful, lasting smiles for patients who hail from across New York and Long Island.

Different Levels of Sedation for Different Levels of Anxiety

Using oral medication, we can help patients with different levels of anxiety. For patients who want to be heavily sedated, we can prescribe a pill that will literally put them to sleep for their procedure.

For patients who are less anxious, oral conscious sedation allows them to relax without falling asleep. We can even supplement your oral conscious medication with nitrous oxide, to make your experience with us even more relaxing.

To prepare for your procedure, simply take your prescribed medication before showing up for your appointment. Then, once the medication has begun to relax you, we can begin. Because the effects of sedation dentistry are long-lasting, we can perform longer procedures, meaning less time away from your normal schedule.

A Relaxing Solution for Getting the Care You Need

Fear doesn’t have to stand between you and a healthy smile. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Stutman, or to learn more about sedation dentistry, contact our office. We serve patients living in New York City, Manhattan, Long Island, and greater Nassau County.
