Articles from Dr. Boiano on the treatments patients ask about most.
One-visit dentistry with CEREC
Crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays and the restoration after a root canal can be completed in one short, comfortable visit — scanned, milled and bonded while you wait. See CEREC one-visit crowns and veneers.
Dental implants preserve healthy teeth
A conventional bridge is held by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap, which usually means filing down two healthy teeth to carry it. An implant stands on its own and leaves the neighbors untouched. Over a lifetime that difference compounds.
Crown and bridge compared with dental implants
Patients weighing a missing tooth are usually balancing four things: cost, discomfort, anxiety, and how long treatment takes. A bridge is faster up front. An implant costs more initially and takes longer, but does not sacrifice adjacent teeth, does not decay, and preserves the bone that a bridge leaves to resorb underneath it. We have been placing and restoring implants in Westchester and the Bronx for over twenty years, so we can show you what both look like years later — which is the comparison that actually matters.
In the press
The Bronx Times Reporter has covered the practice's CAD/CAM cosmetic and implant dentistry — the CEREC Omnicam scanning a patient's jaw to within five microns, the file passed to our technician, and the finished restoration delivered the same day.
