Diagnostic

You can even ask your dentist about having your veneers polished.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Routine dental checkups provide an opportunity for you get your teeth and gums cleaned to prevent cavities, plaque build-up and disease. Plus, regular teeth cleanings give you a brighter, whiter smile and eliminate gum decay or disease to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Professional teeth whitening can be done in just about an hour. Tooth bonding and contouring only take about 30 minutes per tooth. Tooth-colored fillings can take the place of unsightly and unhealthy amalgam fillings in one dental visit. It’s even possible to qualify for one-hour porcelain veneers, and walk out of this Midtown Manhattan cosmetic dentistry office with a new outlook on life.
• Resin Composite
• Veneers
  Everyone wants to look their best, but many people feel like they never reach 100% when their teeth make them feel self-conscious. Patient Kelly was unhappy with the aesthetics of her smile and finally turned to the expertise of Dr. Michael J. Wei who found the right smile makeover formula for her using minimal prep veneers.
• Crowns
  Porcelain tooth crowns: When you have a broken tooth that needs to be repaired, porcelain tooth crowns are a robust and reliable option. Along with building the tooth back up to a functional size and shape, the crown restoration is designed to blend with your other teeth and look completely natural.
• Bridges
  As far as function goes, a porcelain fixed dental bridge will ensure that your smile is once again secure. You can feel comfortable speaking, eating, biting, and chewing without worrying about the solidity of your teeth or feeling self-conscious about the holes in your smile. In addition, because a bridge is bonded in place, it is not removable, which will give you an even greater peace of mind.
• Dental Bonding
  If you have a damaged tooth, don’t put off a dental visit until you can’t take the irritation any longer. Waiting until the pain kicks in means a problem that was once a minor bother is now a major issue that will likely require an invasive restoration. As it turns out, plenty of damaged teeth can be quickly and easily corrected with tooth bonding performed by Midtown Manhattan dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei, saving you from oral health problems in the future.
• Restorative Dentistry
  A smile makeover is an investment. You want your investment to pay dividends, making you look younger, happier, and healthier. One of the worst situations a dental patient can experience is undergoing cosmetic or restorative dentistry, only to have those changes fail soon after.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Keep in mind too that if you need any dental restorations or repairs done, this can be considered part of your overall smile makeover. After all, modern restorative dentistry is designed to not only repair teeth but beautify them too. So sure, you might need a root canal or filling, but your dentist will leave that tooth looking strong and healthy and natural after all that work is done so your smile makeover as a whole is not marred.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Certainly, many dental procedures have a limited lifespan. Dentures, for instance, will eventually need to be replaced as the mouth adjusts to the dentures or the wearer’s oral health changes. This is an acceptable and expected occurrence. Depending on the age when you undergo a smile makeover, you may never need an upgrade.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants: When you’re missing teeth because of an extraction, gum disease, or accident, you need to replace those teeth to protect your jawbone, the shape of your face, and the positioning of the surrounding teeth. Dental implants look natural and feel natural, and they are a permanent restoration that finishes an otherwise incomplete smile in both appearance and function.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Jaw Surgery
  A gummy smile caused by a severely protruding jaw may require orthognathic surgery and orthodontics to recontour the jaw to the correct size and place.
• Gum Surgery
  If gum disease has advanced to the point that surgery is required, Dr. Wei can perform laser gum surgery procedures in our office. Otherwise, he will refer you to a trusted colleague for specialized periodontal care.
• Tooth Extractions
  The Basics: Some patients need a complete overhaul of their oral health before they can pursue major restorations. General and preventive dentistry treatments can include gum disease therapy and treatment for TMJ. It may even be necessary to do tooth extractions for teeth that are beyond any other sort of dental help. After all, if your teeth and gums aren’t healthy, they aren’t ready to receive any cosmetic enhancements. If you have a painful, broken-down smile, be prepared for a chunk of of your smile makeover cost to fall into this category.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  If you have a bite problem that is causing a mild gingival display, orthodontics like Invisalign braces can be used to shift the bite into the correct position. Combining this move with a laser gum lift creates a permanent gum repair and smile makeover.

• Teeth Whitening
