DR Alex
 

JUST SOME OF THE DENTISTRY WE OFFER!
Dr. Alex and his staff are committed to delivering the highest quality of care possible to our patients. Dr. Alex is highly trained and one of the most sought after dentists in NY for prosthetic (reconstructive) and esthetic dentistry. The practice is, and always has been, a referral based practice not dependant on external marketing for patients.

We work with only the best materials, ceramists, and dental specialists, for all our cosmetic and prosthetic reconstructions. Dr. Alex acts as the “quarterback” directing and integrating all aspects of treatment to insure an optimal and predictable outcome.

Comprehensive dentistry
Comprehensive dentistry is about looking at the big picture. It’s about developing a long-term vision of health and beauty customized for each patient. It’s about understanding the intimate relationship between the teeth, joints, muscles, and gum tissues, and how each is dependant on the other for ideal beauty and comfort. This is a much different approach then the typical dental office where the tendency is to focus on individual teeth and problems and often lose sight of the big picture.

Porcelain veneers (laminates)

Porcelain veneers (also called laminates) can conservatively transform a smile, providing long-lasting, natural-looking, bright and straight teeth. Although the concept of "no prep" veneers ("Lumineers") has been widely publicized, Dr. Alex feels most teeth require some tooth preparation if the goal is to achieve an optimal physiologic and esthetic result. In a select number of cases no tooth preparation may be acceptable. The amout of tooth reduction is very case specific but significantly less reduction is required compared to full crowns (caps). Dr. Alex has placed thousands of porcelain veneers and teaches porcelain veneer dentistry throughout the United States, Canada, Central and South America. He can advise you if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers.

Routine use of non-metallic, tooth-colored resin and porcelain filling, crowns, and bridgework.
One of the things that separate the average dentist from the excellent dentist is knowing what restoration is right for each specific clinical situation and patient. There are literally dozens of different type of crowns and restorative materials to choose from. Dr. Alex has extensive experience working with many different materials and will help you decide what is best for you.

Implants Implants are one of the most exciting treatment modalities ever to emerge from the dental profession. Implants allow us to restore appearance and function for patients that have lost teeth. Implants are a very comfortable and conservative way of replacing missing teeth. They can also be used to secure full dentures. Click this link to FAQ's for more information on Implants.
