General Dentistry in Scarsdale, NY

Every visit starts with digital X-rays and a thorough exam. We check for cavities, bite issues, and early signs of oral cancer. A full periodontal screening measures gum health and pocket depths to catch gum disease early. Your hygienist does a complete cleaning and polishing, then the dentist reviews everything with you on-screen.

We use tooth-colored composite resin for all fillings. The material bonds directly to your tooth, preserving more of the healthy structure than amalgam. Small to mid-size cavities are typically done in one visit. For larger areas of decay, we may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown for a longer-lasting result.

Crowns cap a damaged or weakened tooth. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent ones. We have an in-house dental lab, so many crowns are fabricated and placed the same day — no goopy impressions, no temporary crown, no second appointment.

A root canal removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the canals, then restores the tooth with a crown. We use 3D imaging to map the canals before we start, and sedation is available if you want it. Most patients say it feels no worse than getting a filling.

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save. We handle both simple and surgical extractions in-house, including impacted wisdom teeth. If you need a replacement afterward — implant, bridge, or partial — we plan that before the extraction so you are never left without a tooth in a visible area.

We offer both in-office whitening and custom take-home kits. In-office uses a professional-grade gel activated under a light — you see results in about an hour. Take-home trays are custom-fitted so the gel stays where it should and works evenly. We check for sensitivity issues before recommending either option.
