A full, bright smile is the first thing many people notice.
Confidence can be hindered when a smile is not all it could be. Here at
The Oyster Bay Family Dentists in Oyster Bay, NY, we offer our patients
Lumineers, the super-thin veneer that completely transforms smiles.
Lumineers are a very thin form of a veneer. They are a shell that is
placed over the fronts of your existing teeth. Lumineers can fix the
look of many different types of problems including gaps, misshapen
teeth, discoloration, and cracks. They are long-lasting and stain
resistant.
Lumineers are placed onto the teeth with minimal alteration done to
the actual tooth. This means that they are completely reversible, if
desired in the future. They are custom created so that they fit your
teeth perfectly and they create the best, most natural smile for you.
They are durable to last for over twenty years! This means bright, white
teeth for a long time. They are so durable that you do not need to
alter the way you eat. You can continue to eat any of the sticky and
crunchy foods that you love.
If you are looking to turn up the wattage on your smile, come see us
for a consultation to see if Lumineers are right for you. To schedule a

Tooth Replacement Options in Oyster Bay, NY
When there are so many options for tooth replacement, how are we to
know what the best option is? Here at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists of
Oyster Bay, NY, we want our patients to know about the options they have
for tooth replacement so they can make an informed decision.
Dental bridges are an option here at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists. A dental bridge is a replacement tooth using adjacent teeth to attach the replacement. This is a long-lasting and popular option. With good care, dental bridges can last over fifteen years.
Dental implants are options for permanent replacement. We have both full-sized implants and mini implants available. Dental implants actually implant a titanium post into the jaw bone to heal just as a normal tooth root would. Mini implants work great for smaller areas and also as a more stable base for dentures.
This brings us to one more option we have here for tooth replacement. We have available full and partial dentures for patients who have lost all their teeth or only some. Dentures are great for those who want a removable option. They are completely customized so that you have the best, most natural smile for you!

Tips for Brushing Your Teeth
Brushing your teeth is what rids the mouth of bacteria that can decay the teeth and cause gum disease. With such an important job, brushing should be done correctly. The Oyster Bay Family Dentists of Oyster Bay, NY want to give a quick refresher on proper brushing so you can be sure it really counts!
Plaque, the bacterial film that forms on teeth, can appear just hours after brushing. This is why it is important to brush at least twice per day. If it is possible to squeeze in a third time, this is ideal. A good way to accomplish this is by keeping a toothbrush and toothpaste with you at work or at school. Brushing is important to clear away debris from food, but make sure to wait at least thirty minutes before brushing. This is because acids from certain foods can wear down enamel when brushed right away.
Brushing should be done for two full minutes every time. A good way to keep track of this is to split the mouth into four sections and brush each section for thirty seconds. Brush every surface of the teeth. Also make sure to brush your tongue, the insides of your cheeks, and the roof of your mouth, as bacteria collects in these places, as well. It will also help freshen your breath!
In addition to brushing, flossing should be performed once a day! To learn more tips on keeping a healthy mouth, call The Oyster Bay Family Dentists of Oyster Bay, NY at (516) 922-5730 or visit our website,www.oysterbaydentists.com.
