Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A smile makeover may take place all at once or over the course of multiple stages, depending on your treatments of interest. An oral examination and initial consultation with Dr. Rallis will give him an understanding of your needs, concerns, and hopes for the outcome, allowing him to develop the details of your smile makeover. We understand that some patients may feel apprehensive or anxious about undergoing treatment, and offer the option of complementing certain procedures with sedation dentistry. These nerve-relaxing techniques, which range from nitrous oxide and oral-conscious sedation to IV sedation, are tailored according to your unique anxiety levels. Each method is closely monitored by our dentists to help ensure your ultimate safety and comfort.
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The results from the KöR® system are designed to last indefinitely with routine maintenance treatments available as needed. While your teeth are still susceptible to the effects of the aging process, your teeth will always be whiter than if you had not undergone treatment and the final outcome can be preserved with periodic at-home whitening. Furthermore, patients can help keep their teeth light and bright by limiting their consumption of coffee, wine, tobacco, and other staining agents, as well as undergoing semi-annual professional dental cleanings.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  The porcelain that we use to craft your veneers consists of a high-quality ceramic that is among the most durable and long-lasting dental materials available. It is much stronger than other types of dental veneers, such as those made of composite resin.
• Veneers
  If you do not like your smile because of gaps, cracks, or tooth discoloration, there are many options available to you. We offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments to cover up any existing tooth damage and enhance your smile. Cosmetic dentist Nicholas Rallis, DDS has extensive experience placing porcelain veneers, one of the most popular dentistry procedures available today. Take a look at the before-and-after photos in our Smile Gallery to see how porcelain veneers can transform your smile!
• Crowns
  It is also not uncommon for more restorative treatments, such as same day dental crowns, to be incorporated into a smile makeover for the best possible outcome. However, while a smile makeover can certainly strengthen the teeth and improve biting ability, dental issues such as multiple missing teeth, the presence of gum disease, extensive decay, or other far-reaching functional concerns may be better treated with full mouth reconstruction. Rest assured that Dr. Rallis and our experienced team will carefully evaluate your oral structures and recommend the most advantageous treatment plan to fulfill your goals.
• Bridges
  Our cosmetic and restorative dentists at Center for Smiles have advanced training and experience in restoring patients’ smiles. Dr. Rallis has been in practice for 27 years and attended the Dawson Academy, where he learned specialized dentistry techniques. In fact, both Dr. Rallis and Dr. Chondrogiannis teach full mouth reconstruction techniques to other licensed dentists as part of the continuing education program at New York University’s College of Dentistry. They have helped countless patients restore their smile and self-confidence with a dental bridge procedure. With their combined experience, you can trust that your treatment will be conducted with the utmost skill and professionalism for beautiful results.
• Dental Bonding
  Alternatively, patients struggling with tooth discoloration can undergo teeth whitening for professional-grade results that are immediately noticeable. At Center for Smiles, we use the powerful KöR® teeth bleaching system to eliminate yellow stains and restore a lighter and brighter tooth shade. This treatment can be particularly amenable to patients who experience tooth sensitivity, as the KöR® system includes a desensitizing solution that can be applied prior to whitening. Ultimately, our dentists can listen to your concerns and help you choose the most ideal option for your goals. In some cases, minor chips and cracks in the teeth can be repaired with cosmetic bonding or tooth-colored fillings.
• Restorative Dentistry

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  In contrast, our same-day dental crowns are utilized when a damaged tooth requires additional strength and protection. These “caps” are often made from the same durable porcelain as veneers, but they cover the entire tooth body as opposed to solely the fronts of the teeth. Crowns are often used to save a tooth from extraction, top a dental implant, or support a tooth after a root canal. Although both treatments can offer functional and aesthetic benefits, your needs can determine the most ideal procedure for your treatment goals.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dental Implants: Dental implants are a cutting-edge treatment to replace missing teeth for a result that can truly look and feel like a natural part of your mouth. Placed with the care and expertise of Dr. Chondrogiannis, our periodontist, dental implants are affixed to your jawbone for the ultimate security and designed to act similarly to a natural tooth root. Furthermore, if you require replacement of a full dental arch, implant dentures can be an excellent way to recover function and appearance without the inconveniences presented by traditional dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  A single missing tooth in the front of the mouth can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Missing teeth in the back of the mouth may not cause pain, but they will be contributing to bone loss. We recommend dental implant treatment to replace a single missing tooth because we have had such great results with this procedure. Cosmetic dentist Nicholas Rallis, DDS works closely with Dr. Chris Chondrogiannis, an experienced periodontist and implant specialist, to rebuild smiles with a very natural-looking result.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Although there is a measure of risk involved with any oral surgery, dental implants are considered a safe way to restore missing teeth as long as you are under the care of an experienced dental professional. Implants have a very low failure rate, provided you are a good candidate for treatment, and are often regarded as the ideal tooth replacement by dentists for a number of reasons. Not only do they offer the most enduring results when compared to other reconstructive techniques, but they also do not require surrounding teeth to be filed down (a necessary measure when replacing the teeth with dental bridges). Our team of qualified prosthodontists, oral surgeons, and restorative dentists are among the best in their field and carry out the dental implant process with uncompromising standards of safety. We will thoroughly evaluate your oral structures to determine whether dental implants are the best solution to your needs, and will always recommend an alternative treatment if you are not a good candidate for dental implants.
• Tooth Extractions
  A dental implant can work beautifully as a replacement for individual missing or extracted teeth. They are designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth on either side of the absent space for optimal aesthetic enhancement. In cases where an implant is being used to replace badly damaged or decayed teeth, the titanium post (meant to act as a natural tooth root) can usually be implanted simultaneous to tooth extraction, provided the root of the compromised tooth does not contain an infection. In either case, a temporary dental crown is usually placed in lieu of the missing tooth while the post has time to fuse with the jawbone.
• Bone Grafting
  The process for replacement of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or complete arch will begin with a consultation in which one of our dentists will assess the state of your bone structure and determine whether you have enough jawbone density to support dental implantation. If the amount of bone loss suffered is too great to accommodate an implant, Dr. Rallis or Dr. Chondrogiannis may recommend bone grafting treatment to regenerate new bone before dental implantation, or suggest another restorative option.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  A smile makeover is a combination treatment plan designed to correct multiple aesthetic concerns at once, allowing you to achieve your dream smile with more comfort and convenience than pursuing each cosmetic procedure individually. The treatments included in a smile makeover are tailored to your unique needs and concerns, providing a personalized experience in which you can attain a stunning smile you can be proud of. Unlike a full mouth reconstruction that aims to rehabilitate function, a smile makeover primarily focuses on aesthetic improvement. As a speaker for Invisalign® and a prominent cosmetic dentist in the Bayside area, Dr. Nicholas Rallis can utilize the latest smile makeover techniques to treat a range of dental issues, including...
• Braces
  One of the most common complaints we hear from both teen and adult patients that want a more attractive smile is they do not want to wait more than a year for results, or obscure their smile with metal braces. Others are concerned about the pain of orthodontic treatment.

General

• Teeth Whitening

Whether you are interested in teeth whitening as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a full smile makeover, Dr. Nicholas Rallis can develop a personalized teeth whitening regimen to suit your preferences and unique sensitivity levels.
