Dentistry Services Include:
The American Dental Association recommends that patients receive routine dental cleanings at least every six months.
X-Rays are safe and effective ways to aid the dentist in the diagnosis and treatment of dental conditions like tooth decay, periodontal disease, and structural issues of the jaw.
Routine exams by the dentist provides the most effective means of preventing decay and gum disease caused by infection.
Left untreated, dental cavities can lead to ever worsening conditions. Today’s composites are natural looking, strong, and help preserve the integrity of the tooth.
At your clinical examination, your dentist may suggest that the proper means of restoring your teeth is dental crowns. The reasons for making that suggestion can vary from case to case. Some of the indications for dental crowns are:
- A previously filled tooth where there now exists more fillings than the tooth itself. The existing tooth structure becomes weakened and can no longer support the filling.
- Extensive damage by decay.
- Discolorations and compromised esthetics.
- Fractures
- Root canal – After root canal, teeth tend to become brittle and are more apt to fracture. They, therefore, need to be protected by a dental crown.
- Bridges – When missing teeth are replaced with a bridge, the adjacent teeth require dental crowns in order to support the replacement teeth.
Dental Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your teeth. Crowns can be made from different materials including a full porcelain crown, porcelain fused-to-metal crown and an all-metal crown. You and Stewart C. Brody DDS. will decide which type is appropriate, depending upon the strength and esthetic concerns of the tooth involved.
Dental Crown Fittings require at least two appointments. During your first visit, the tooth is prepared for the crown, an impression is made of the tooth, and a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth. At the next visit, the crown is removed. The final dental crown is then fitted, adjusted and cemented into place.
What are dental implants? Dental implants are basically sophisticated screws made of a medically pure metal, Titanium. According to a dentist these screws are then placed in the jaw bone and rest under the gum for 3 – 6 months. During this time they actually fuse to the jawbone and become osseo (bone) integrated. After the appropriate healing time, we uncover the implants and use them to replace one or more missing teeth by fabricating some sort of dental prosthesis.
Replacing a missing tooth or teeth by “bridging” the gap between existing teeth is one way of restoring the mouth and can help keep further problems of wear and alignment from occurring.
Missing teeth can lead to serious issues for those teeth that remain, especially adjacent and opposing teeth. Dentures (partial and complete) not only restore a person’s smile, but they also prevent further problems with wear and alignment from occurring.
Dr. Brody is specially trained to examine and diagnose existing conditions including oral cancer, periodontal disease, abscesses, TMJ, bruxism, and impacted wisdom teeth.
When tooth decay advances into the root of a tooth where the nerves are situated, root canal therapy removes the infected nerves and the infection all the way to the end or apex of the tooth.
The quality of your sleep affects your daily activities and has a huge impact on the overall quality of your life. If you are not getting an adequate amount of sleep during the night, then you and your body may suffer from sleep deprivation and be prone to daytime sleepiness. This may affect your:
� Productivity and performance at work
� Increase your risk for injury or illness
� Cause strain in personal relationships
� Be a sign of a more serious health problem
Sleep Disordered Treatment
Sleep disordered breathing is a spectrum of severity based on the collapsibility of the airway. Symptoms increase due to the increase in the disruption of airflow.
When the jaw opens and the tongue falls into the back of the throat, the airway narrows forcing air through the smaller opening. This creates vibrations in the throat known as snoring. Although snoring seems physically harmless, it can be a �red flag� for a much more serious and sometimes fatal condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Cosmetic Dentistry Services Include:
An in-office whitening treatment is the quickest way to see real results. Under the care and supervision of dental professionals, stronger and more immediately effective materials can be used to remove stains and bring teeth back to their natural whiteness.

Perfect Smile Maker offers take home whitening systems that work over a period of time to help restore teeth to their natural whiteness. A cleaning and dental exam are recommended to prepare the teeth for maximum whitening.
Correcting the visible shape and color of teeth can often be accomplished by the application of veneers, which are applied to the front of a tooth to form a strong bond that matches the color of the tooth.
The straightening of teeth, with clear braces is now possible with Invisalign. It is an invisible way of orthodontically treating your teeth to give you the beautiful smile you have always wished for. The treatment involves a series of invisible, removable, easy to wear aligners that are hardly noticeable. These aligners are almost invisible, and you can smile more confidently, even while wearing them. This way of treating irregular teeth is proven effective and is available in our office. It could not be easier to get started with instahard treatment.
In fact, you can contact us now to be on your way to straighten your teeth and getting the perfect smile that you have always wanted.
Step 1: The Diagnostic Visit. The initial consultation will be with Dr. Stewart Brody, who will be evaluating, assessing, and discussing with you the treatment best suited to your condition. Impressions of your teeth, photographs and x rays will be taken, and will be sent to Invisalign for further diagnosis.
Step 3: Invisalign fabrication of the series of aligners. Invisalign makes use of the advanced 3-D computer imaging technology (clin check) that helps to convert your bite impressions into a series of clear and removal aligners, customized to your bite impressions.
Step 5: You will be wearing your aligners. After you get your aligners, you need to wear them about 22 hours a day for about 2 weeks. You can remove them only to eat, floss, and brush. This treatment can take less than a year to complete. During your invisalign braces treatment, you will need to visit Stewart Brody, DDS, DDS on regular intervals.
Step 2: Consult. After invisalign returns a digital representation of your teeth, and a visible representation (clin check) of the entire treatment and it’s results, you will have an accurate estimate of the length of time of the treatment and it’s cost.
Step 4: You will receive your clear and removable aligners in a few weeks&. After designing a custom-made series of aligners, Dr.Brody will provide you with the first set of clear aligners.
You will most likely receive a few additional sets that you need to wear for two weeks each, before you make the next appointment.
Step 6: Your treatment is finished!
