Locust Valley Dentist on Long Island, NY

Our Locust Valley dentist provides dental bridges that are made to look realistic and blend in with the rest of your smile. No one will suspect that your bridge is not your natural teeth!

Porcelain crowns usually last between five and 15 years, but the lifespan of a crown can vary depending on its location in the mouth, your lifestyle, and your dental habits. Patients who clench their jaws or grind their teeth when they’re stressed, for example, may notice that their porcelain crowns need more frequent replacement.

CEREC crowns, also known as same-day crowns, are a restoration that can be completed in a single visit to our Locust Valley dentist. Your tooth is prepared, then your crown is fabricated by our in-house dental lab and affixed to your tooth. Because we offer both same-day crowns and porcelain crowns in Locust Valley, we can help you decide which option is best for you.

Veneers work by covering your natural teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. A small amount of enamel is removed and then the thin, porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth. Unlike a crown, veneers leave your tooth structure intact and strong, so they’re a good choice for patients who have teeth that have cosmetic imperfections but are otherwise healthy.

Teeth whitening is always considered a cosmetic dental procedure, so it is not covered by insurance.

The cost of Invisalign in Locust Valley, NY is comparable to that of traditional metal braces, ranging from $3000 to $7000 for more complex cases. The price is determined by the number of aligners you need and the duration of your treatment.

Cosmetic tooth bonding is a treatment in which a tooth-colored resin material is used to correct aesthetic imperfections like stains, yellowing, chips, cracks, and gaps between teeth. Cosmetic bonding does not last as long as dental veneers, but it is a more affordable option that only takes a single visit to complete.
