- Teeth CleaningThe American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

- Bridges
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal TreatmentConventional bridges and dentures are not fixed to the bone, and can therefore be unstable. This can make it difficult to eat or smile with confidence. Implants not only look more natural, but feel and act more like normal teeth, with a stronger biting force. And because they don't directly rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants don't compromise the health of your natural teeth. In fact, bridges are only expected to last seven to ten years, even less with root canals, whereas implants will typically last a lifetime.
- Periodontal SurgeryIf the tissue or bone surrounding your teeth is too damaged to be repaired with non-surgical treatment, several surgical procedures are available to prevent severe damage and to restore a healthy smile. We will recommend the procedure that is best suited to the condition of your teeth and gums. Following is a list of common types of periodontal surgery...
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesImplants are versatile. If you are only missing one tooth, one implant plus one replacement tooth will do the trick. If you are missing several teeth in a row, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge (a set of replacement teeth). Similarly, if you have lost all of your teeth, a full bridge or full denture can be permanently fixed in your mouth with a strategic number of implants.
- Dental ImplantsDr. Vossughi grew up in Germany and graduated in 1996 from Frankfurt University Dental School, where she earned her Dental Degree. She worked for two years as a general dentist in Germany before relocating to the States and attending Columbia University, School of Dental Medicine, where she earned a second Dental Degree and completed a three-year Specialty Program in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry receiving a Certificate of Specialty with Masters of Science in 2003.
- Oral Surgery
- Flap SurgeryDuring pocket reduction procedures (also known as “flap surgery”), we fold back the gum tissue and remove the bacteria hiding underneath, as well as the hardened plaque and tartar that have collected. We may also remove any tissue that is too damaged to survive. We then sew the healthy tissue back into place. Now that the tooth and root are free of bacteria, plaque, and tartar, and the pockets have been reduced, the gums can reattach to the teeth.
- Tooth ExtractionsDr. Vossughi is holding a faculty position as a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Periodontology at Columbia University. She is an active member of the Columbia Implant Study Club. As an educator and clinician, she attends numerous continuing education courses to keep up to date with the latest technologies. She is experienced in all phases of periodontal surgical and non-surgical therapy, implant surgery, sinus lift, ridge augmentation and soft tissue grafting as well as dental extractions.
- Ridge Augmentation
- Bone GraftingAutogenous Bone Grafting: Occasionally, the ideal areas for dental implants do not have sufficient bone quantity to support the implants. In these cases, it is often necessary to “borrow” bone from another area of your mouth and graft it into the deficient area. Often, the area of choice is from the chin or in the back of the jaw where your wisdom teeth used to be.
