Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Any treatment, he’ll sit down with you and talk about your wants, needs, long-term goals, and budget. Using this information and his observations gathered from an oral exam, he can then put together the strategy for your particular smile makeover. You’ll have a chance to go over this entire plan with Dr. Mohr before beginning, and once he has your approval, then it’s just a matter of time before you see a beautiful set of teeth in the mirror every day.
• X-rays
  X-rays give us the ability to spot dental problems that lie below the surface of the teeth and gums, and thanks to the advent of digital technology, this tool is now better than ever. Digital X-rays can create crystal clear images in mere seconds, plus they cut down on radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional dental X-rays. The images can also be blown up, rotated, and color coded for educational purposes.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  This year alone, nearly 50,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer, and sadly, many will not survive the next five years simply because the disease wasn’t caught until it was quite advanced. Oral cancer is actually very treatable when detected early, which is why Dr. Allan Mohr performs a complete oral cancer screening as part of every regular checkup. The exam itself only takes a few minutes and is completely painless, but it literally helps save people’s lives every year.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  A dental cleaning (or prophylaxis) by definition is cleaning plaque, tartar, and stains from the enamel tooth portion above the gums. This service is provided for children and adults who are in excellent health with no bone loss, recession, or inflammation.
• Fluoride Treatment
  As a general dentistry office that serves the entire family, we offer children's dentistry along with the rest of our preventive services. Children’s dentistry includes exams, cleanings, and education as your child ages to help him or her develop excellent oral health habits. We’ll also use various techniques for preventing tooth decay, like dental sealants and fluoride treatments.
• Dental Sealants
  Dental sealants enable our team to provide a little extra protection right where a patient needs it, namely, the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Due to their location and grooved surfaces, it’s easier for plaque to become trapped on them and missed during brushing, leading to a higher occurrence of cavities. This is especially true for children! However, with a sealant, we can literally place an invisible barrier over this part of the teeth to keep them safe. We simply paint on a thin layer of composite resin and harden it using a curing light. They take minutes to apply and can easily last for 10 years afterward.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Tooth-colored fillings provide a restoration for patients that is both aesthetically-pleasing, in addition to optimally-healthy. Compared to silver and amalgam fillings from yesteryears, tooth-colored fillings use a natural white composite material. Take a look at some examples below from real patients of Dr. Mohr!
• Resin Composite
  Tooth-colored fillings are made from a biocompatible composite resin comprised of smooth plastic and glass particles. The procedure to get one is performed under local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and takes just one visit to the dentist’s office. And, because composite resin dries fully within minutes, you can head to lunch right after your appointment!
• Veneers
  What’s the secret to a celebrity smile? In truth, it’s not really a secret anymore, because it’s usually veneers! This conservative, highly esthetic solution can instantly mask stains, chips, breaks, misalignments, and many other imperfections. With Dr. Allan Mohr, you don’t have to be famous to achieve star-quality results. As a cosmetic dentist, he can design and place veneers here at our Massapequa Park practice, and in just two visits, you can have a bright, bold smile that radiates youth and vitality.
• Crowns
  Sometimes a few crowns, fillings, or replacement teeth aren’t enough to completely restore dental health. When you visit, Dr. Allan Mohr will evaluate your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, as well as your occlusion (how your teeth fit together when you shut your mouth). We will take X-rays, intra- and extra-oral images, and possibly a Panorex image to provide us with detailed information to create your full-mouth reconstruction plan.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges are one of the most tried and trusted treatments in all of dentistry, and with them, Dr. Mohr can make even the most compromised smile look like new again. Every single prosthetic he provides for our patients is completely custom-designed using the strongest and most natural-looking materials. If you could benefit from a bridge, Dr. Mohr will not only give you your smile’s strength back, but its beauty as well.
• Dental Bonding
  It’s amazing how just one minor flaw can completely throw off the appearance of your smile, right? All it takes is a single noticeable stain, crack, or gap to make you feel completely self-conscious. If you’re tired of that one pesky imperfection, then Dr. Allan Mohr has a quick and easy solution to get rid of it: cosmetic bonding. With this treatment, he can literally sculpt any problem tooth to perfection, and it’ll likely take him less than an hour to do it.
• Restorative Dentistry
  As patients age, teeth are affected by wear and tear. Most people will need some level of restorative dental care at some point, and choosing the right dentist for your full-mouth reconstruction is key. Dr. Mohr has more than your basic dental education. In the years since he completed dental school, he’s continued his education at the prestigious Pankey Institute and Dawson Academy, and he lectures on various cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  There are toothaches, and then there are toothaches—the kind that prevent you from leaving the house because all you can focus on is how much your tooth hurts. This kind of pain cannot only interfere with your day, but it could also be a sign that there is a serious problem with your dental health. Thankfully, Dr. Allan Mohr can provide a proven solution that’s able to eliminate even the worst dental pain: root canal therapy. Instead of sitting and suffering with a hurting tooth, give Smile Creations a call so he can give you the relief you need right away!

Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  Depending on the severity of the infection within the gums, a specialized diode laser may be used. The diode laser specifically targets unhealthy tissue, detoxifying the gingival tissue in a way that is proven to be both safe and effective. Even certain strains of aggressive bacteria that are difficult to remove with traditional periodontal surgery can be fully addressed with the diode, making it an excellent tool in the management of advanced gum disease. Additional benefits of laser periodontal therapy include improved patient comfort, cost-effectiveness, reduced risk of infection, and more rapid healing.
• Deep Cleaning
  Along with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you’re currently walking around with one or more missing teeth, then you don’t need us to list all of the problems you likely have to deal with every day. Simple things like smiling, talking, and eating can feel uncomfortable and awkward, and you’re probably worried people will immediately judge you if they see the condition of your teeth. At Smile Creations, Dr. Allan Mohr and our team aren’t here to judge you, we’re here to offer a solution: dentures in Massapequa Park. Whether you’re missing just a few teeth or all of them, we can help you get your complete smile back.
• Overdentures
  Reduced Treatment Time: Because they are smaller, Overdentures can typically be placed and restored in much less time compared to traditional ones, meaning patients are able to replace their missing teeth even faster. Often, the placement and restoration procedures can be completed at the same appointment!

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Are you thinking about getting dental implants to replace your missing teeth? If so, then we’re sure you’re full of questions. Dental implants have quickly become the premier way that dentists around the world rebuild incomplete smiles, but how do they actually work, and what is it like getting them? Below, our own Dr. Allan Mohr has answered some of the most common implant questions so you can better understand this state-of-the-art option.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  If you’re dealing with an ongoing dental problem, such as gum disease, Dr. Mohr can take care of it right here at Smile Creations. For a general health problem, which can include things like uncontrolled diabetes, he will recommend that you visit your doctor and work with them to make sure you’re able to safely undergo oral surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  Indentations in the gums often occur after tooth extractions due to changes in the jawbone structure. Therefore, if you have an upcoming extraction, Dr. Mohr might recommend that you get a bone graft at the same time as your extraction to help prevent your jaw from changing shape. A gum graft is also commonly part of the procedure. This surgery will prevent indentations in your gums and set you up for the best possible aesthetic results from your future tooth replacement, whether you opt for dental implants or a traditional bridge.
• Bone Grafting
  If your jawbone is too thin to support implants (which is common because bone loss is a side effect of tooth loss), Dr. Mohr will refer you to one of his specialists for a bone grafting procedure. This will involve using your own bone or donated tissue to build up and strengthen your jaw so it can be the perfect foundation for your new teeth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  The secret to veneers' vast popularity is their versatility. Using this one treatment, Dr. Mohr can cover up chips, stains, cracks, gaps, crooked teeth, uneven wearing, and more. They’re sometimes even called “instant orthodontics” because they can cover small misalignments and let you skip the months-long process of orthodontic treatment to make mild cosmetic changes to your smile.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  This is by far the most popular reason people want to have their teeth straightened. Crowded teeth present obvious aesthetic concerns, but they also make it more difficult to brush and floss properly, increasing someone’s risk of cavities and gum disease. Literally tens of millions of patients have been able to resolve this problem thanks to Invisalign.
• Braces
  Comfortable: The aligners will be made just for you to ensure they fit the unique contours of your teeth and gums. The smooth plastic won’t irritate your cheeks or lips like regular braces. Many patients say they often forget they even have their aligners in!

General

• Teeth Whitening
  If you walk into any store today, you’ll see a nearly endless variety of teeth whitening products on the shelves, ranging from toothpastes to whitening strips and beyond. While all of them might seem quite different, they have one distinct thing in common: they’re all long on promises and short on results. The truth is, anything you can buy yourself is not going to be strong enough to break up stubborn stains and make your teeth noticeably whiter. To get the results you really want, the kind that you and other people will actually notice, you need a professional strength treatment.
