We also offer oral hygiene guidance to ensure your teeth and gums stay in top condition and Invisalign/cosmetic dentistry/teeth whitening to upgrade your smile.

We’re here to be your partner in maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.

Healthy gums are a cornerstone of a healthy smile. At Sunrise Dental Brooklyn, our team of professionals are dedicated to helping you maintain strong, healthy gums through effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease.

Early detection is key to preventing complications like tooth loss. We offer a full range of services to manage gum health, from routine cleanings and scaling and root planing to more advanced procedures like pocket reduction and gum grafting.

Our goal is to create a personalized plan that not only treats any existing issues but also helps you maintain long-term gum health.

Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If plaque isn’t removed with regular brushing and flossing, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning. Left untreated, plaque and tartar can lead to gum disease, a progressive condition that can eventually damage the bone and tissue supporting your teeth.

Gum disease has different stages, and understanding the difference is key to protecting your oral health.

• Gingivitis is the earliest and most treatable stage. You may notice your gums are red, swollen, or bleeding when you brush. At this stage, gum disease is completely reversible with proper treatment and care.
• Periodontitis is the advanced stage of gum disease. If gingivitis isn’t treated, it can progress to periodontitis. At this point, your gums may become painful and swollen, and pockets can form between your teeth and gums. Some damage at this stage may be irreversible. The most severe stage, advanced periodontitis, can lead to bone and tissue loss, and may require tooth extractions.

Many adults have some form of gum disease. While anyone can develop it, some factors can increase your risk, including:

• Smoking
• Genetics
• Hormonal changes (in women and girls)
• Certain illnesses (like uncontrolled diabetes) and their treatments
• Medications that cause dry mouth

Missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral function. At Sunrise Dental Brooklyn, our team of dental professionals provides durable, natural-looking dental implant solutions to restore your smile.

Our services are designed to improve both the function and appearance of your teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence. Using the latest technology and advanced techniques, we offer a full range of implant services, including:

• Single and multiple-tooth implants
• Full-mouth implants and full-arch restorations
• Implant-supported overdentures

We also provide preparatory procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts to ensure your implants are placed with precision and care, leading to long-lasting results. Our goal is to create a personalized plan that gives you a complete and confident smile.

Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. A custom-made artificial tooth, designed to match the look and color of your natural teeth, is then attached to this post. Because they are permanently anchored, implants offer a secure and comfortable alternative to dentures.

Most healthy adults are great candidates for dental implants. You should have good overall health, healthy gums, and enough bone density in your jaw to support the implant. Implants are not recommended for children whose jaws are still growing.

Certain health conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or leukemia, can slow down the healing process and may make you a less-than-ideal candidate. However, even if you have insufficient jawbone from missing teeth for a long time, our team can often help. We may be able to perform a bone grafting procedure, such as a ridge augmentation, to build up the bone and prepare the area for a successful implant.

Whether you’re looking for a simple change or a complete transformation, we have a solution for you. Our cosmetic services include:

We’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that not only enhances the beauty of your smile but also prioritizes your overall oral health, leaving you feeling confident and radiant.

At Sunrise Dental Brooklyn, we offer a range of orthodontic services to help you achieve a straighter smile and a healthier smile. We provide effective and discreet options for patients of all ages.

Our services include:

• Clear Aligners: A modern, subtle way to straighten teeth without traditional braces.
• Retainers: To maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment.
• Solutions for Bite Issues: We address common problems like overbite, underbite, and crossbite to improve both function and aesthetics.
• Ongoing Orthodontic Monitoring: To ensure your progress is on track.

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on correcting issues with crooked teeth, bad bites (malocclusions), and jaw alignment. While many people think of orthodontics as a cosmetic solution for kids, modern treatments like Invisalign have made it a popular choice for adults and teens as well.

Here are some common issues that orthodontics can fix:

• Gaps between teeth
• Overcrowding and crooked teeth
• Overbite (“buck teeth”)
• Underbite
• Open bite or crossbite

Properly aligned teeth are not just for looks; they are crucial for your overall oral health. Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to chew, eat, and even speak properly. They also create hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to clean, which increases your risk for tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, an improper bite can cause the protective enamel on your teeth to wear down and put extra stress on your gums and jawbone.

The days of only having one option for braces are long gone. Today, there are several effective treatments available, all working to correct misalignments and give you a straighter smile.

Our professional team are dedicated to helping families achieve their dental goals. If you’re ready for a straighter, healthier smile, we can help you find the right orthodontic solution.

Our team of dental professionals will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals, helping you get the beautiful and functional smile you’ve always wanted.

Clear aligners are a popular, discreet alternative to traditional braces. They are custom-made, clear trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Brands like Invisalign® have made them a top choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out when you eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Here’s a quick look at the process:

1. Custom Aligners: Our team of dental professionals will take impressions of your teeth, which are then used to create a series of aligners. You’ll wear each set for a specific period (typically one to two weeks) before moving on to the next. For the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day.
2. Progress Checks: You’ll have periodic checkups with our team, usually every six weeks, so we can monitor your progress and make sure your treatment is on track.
3. Completion: Most treatments take 12-18 months. Afterward, we may recommend a retainer to wear at night to keep your teeth from shifting back to their original positions

Clear aligners are a great option for most adults and teens. However, they may not be suitable for younger patients whose teeth and jaws are still developing. Our team will perform a thorough examination and discuss your goals with you to determine the best orthodontic treatment for your unique needs.

Our team has special training in Invisalign treatments. If you’re interested in clear aligners, contact us to schedule a consultation.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells, often crafted from porcelain, that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are a versatile cosmetic solution that can fix a variety of dental issues, including:

• Gaps between teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Stains or discoloration
• Worn-down teeth
• Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth

The process for getting veneers usually takes place over a few appointments.

1. Initial Consultation: Our team will perform a thorough exam and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the right option for you.
2. Tooth Preparation: To ensure the veneer fits perfectly, our team will gently prepare the tooth by removing a very small amount of enamel.
3. Impression and Creation: An impression of your tooth is taken and sent to a lab to create your custom veneer. A temporary veneer may be placed to protect your tooth while you wait.
4. Bonding: Once the permanent veneer is ready, our team will bond it to your tooth. A special light is used to cure the bond, and then she’ll make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite.

Oral surgery is often required for issues that can’t be resolved with standard dental treatments. Two of the most common reasons are impacted teeth and tooth loss.

• Impacted Teeth: This occurs when a tooth, most often a wisdom tooth, doesn’t fully erupt through the gum line. It can cause pain, swelling, and infections, and may also damage nearby teeth, bone, or gums. In these cases, extraction is necessary to prevent further complications.
• Tooth Loss: For those who have lost a tooth due to injury or disease, oral surgery is a key step in getting a dental implant. Implants are permanent artificial teeth that are surgically anchored into your jawbone, offering a long-lasting and secure alternative to bridges or dentures

Wisdom tooth extraction: After the tooth is removed, our team will place a medicated gauze pad to control any bleeding and may use stitches to close the incision. Before you leave, you’ll receive a prescription for pain medication and detailed instructions for post-operative care.

A root canal is a common procedure used to save a tooth that has infected or damaged pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. In the past, a tooth with this kind of damage would often have to be extracted. During the procedure, our team removes the infected pulp and seals the tooth to prevent further infection, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.

The pulp can become infected or damaged for several reasons, including:

• A deep cavity or a large filling
• A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
• A tooth abscess (a pus-filled pocket around the root)
• Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth

You might need a root canal if you’re experiencing symptoms such as a mild to severe toothache, especially when chewing or biting down. Other signs include:

• Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
• Red or swollen gums near the affected tooth
• A pimple-like bump on your gum
• Discoloration of the tooth

A root canal is typically completed in one or two appointments. The main goal is to clean out the damaged pulp and fill the tooth with a protective material. This saves your tooth and allows you to use it without pain.

Sleep apnea is a common but serious condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts while you sleep. This is often caused by the soft tissues in your throat collapsing and blocking your airway. People with sleep apnea often snore loudly or make choking sounds during the night.

If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems, including:

• Stroke

• High blood pressure

• Heart attack and irregular heartbeat

• Diabetes and depression

• Excessive daytime drowsiness

There are two main types of sleep apnea:

• Obstructive sleep apnea: The most common form, caused by a physical blockage in the airway.

• Central sleep apnea: A less common type that happens when the brain fails to send the right signals to the muscles that control breathing.

While some severe cases may require surgery, most sleep apnea is treated with less invasive methods. Common treatments include:

• Lifestyle changes: Simple adjustments like changing your sleeping position or losing weight can sometimes help.

• CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): A machine that delivers a constant flow of air through a mask, keeping your airway open.

• Oral appliances: Custom-fitted devices that look like a mouthguard and help to support your jaw, keeping the airway clear.

CPAP is a very effective treatment, but many people find it uncomfortable. The mask, tubing, and noise can make it difficult to use consistently.

An oral appliance is a comfortable, custom-fitted alternative that works by gently shifting your jaw to keep your airway open. It’s portable, easy to wear, and can be a great solution for relieving symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, including snoring.

Dentists are often the first to notice signs of sleep apnea, such as a dry mouth or grinding teeth. With additional training in dental sleep medicine, they are uniquely qualified to provide and fit oral appliances, offering a less invasive and highly effective treatment for many patients.

If you suspect you may have sleep apnea, a dental evaluation could be a great first step toward a better night’s sleep.
