Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients – with a gentle touch, and stunning results. Your smile is our first priority, and we’ll give you something to smile about.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  No, examinations for oral cancer are completely painless and mainly consist of visual inspections. However, these exams are crucial for catching the disease in its early stages.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Regular dental cleanings are crucial to your oral health. Not only do we thoroughly clean every surface of your teeth at Today's Dentistry, but we also conduct a detailed examination, inspecting your dental work, teeth, soft tissues, and more. Our exams also include oral cancer screenings.
• Dental Sealants
  Along with daily brushing and flossing, sealants are one of the best methods of preventing tooth decay. Sealants are thin coatings of plastic that cover your molars and guard them against cavity formation.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Composite fillings are sometimes called white fillings. In contrast to traditional silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are made of tooth-colored dental composite. These fillings are comparable in strength and durability to amalgam fillings but contain no metal and blend in nicely with the surrounding tooth. A composite filling is a much more esthetic restoration than an amalgam filling.
• Veneers
  Veneers are slim “shields” placed on the front surfaces of your teeth to resolve cosmetic imperfections. Instead of addressing several cosmetic problems separately, veneers allow you to have a great-looking smile all at once.
• Crowns
  Crowns, sometimes called caps, are among the most common dental restorations. At Today's Dentistry, we provide high-quality crowns to restore our patients’ smiles and provide an attractive aesthetic appearance.
• Bridges
• Restorative Dentistry
  Fillings are one of the most common restorative dentistry services. Everyone is likely to encounter a cavity at one time or another, and a cavity is usually a minor problem – if you have it treated. Cavities can become serious if they are not filled, but we offer gentle, convenient fillings at Today's Dentistry where Dr. Pateras provides metal-free composite fillings.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Regular cleanings and examinations are sufficient to control gum disease in many patients. If you have more advanced gum disease, you may need a deep cleaning called a scaling and root planing.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are sometimes the most cost-effective and convenient method of replacing missing teeth. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth on the upper or lower arch, while complete dentures replace an entire arch of absent teeth.

Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Following dental school, I attended a post-doctoral program and received an M.S. in Oral Sciences from UB. Adding to this diversity are classes in sleep apnea and snoring, computerized dentistry, orthodontics, and photography.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Every case is different, but the total treatment time with Invisalign averages 12 months. Of course, your treatment time may be shorter or longer. You will usually receive a new aligner every few weeks to advance your teeth further into their correct position.
• Braces
  You have probably heard of Invisalign, the removable, clear aligner system that is often an alternative to traditional metal braces. In many cases, patients can take advantage of these “hidden” aligners that use no metal parts and are completely removable for eating and oral hygiene.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Many patients list teeth color as their top cosmetic dental concern. Patients also commonly report frustration with the results they see from whitening products available at drugstores and grocery stores, but we have effective whitening solutions at Today's Dentistry that you can use in the privacy of your own home.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  What you can expect from us at Today's Dentistry is great, skilled dental care along with a warm, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We love cosmetic dentistry, which can be anything from simple Power Bleaching to an extreme Smile Make-over. Nothing creates more positive feelings in our patients and ourselves than transforming a smile into something our patient is proud to show the world. Creating a beautiful smile and watching someone enjoy having that smile is like watching a beautiful flower bloom.
