Typical Denture Process
When it comes time to fit your full denture, it will all depend on the type of dentures you have chosen and your specific needs. The following is a basic outline of the denture creation process and generally, you can expect that the creation and fitting of your dentures to take place over several office visits.
Consultation: Our first goal is to evaluate your existing situation, your tooth structure, and overall condition of your teeth and gums. We will then recommend whether more teeth need to be removed, and we may facilitate the necessary removal of teeth, adjustment of teeth for anchoring dentures, restorations for anchor teeth, and implant supports for dentures.
Impressions: We will then refer you to a qualified dentist/denturist who will take a series of impressions of your jaw as well as measurements of how your jaws relate to one another and the space between them.
Models: The denturist will then create a waxed-up model denture in the exact shape and position of your new proposed dentures. This will allow you to try the models and to make sure they fit right. Additionally, the model dentures will show you the color and shape of your replacement teeth to ensure your satisfaction with the appearance of your new smile. Casting: Once the fit, shape, and color of the denture have been confirmed, the final dentures will be crafted by the denturist.
Adjusting: Once the full denture has been created, your denturist will make sure it fits properly and continue to make any adjustments needed. It's important to keep in mind that adjustments may be needed from time to time as your mouth adjusts to the new denture. If your mouth gets sore, don't wait for it to get worse, it is recommended to contact us immediately so that we can check how your mouth is adjusting to the new denture.
We are happy to help you and strongly encourage you to come in to see us for a denture adjustment as soon as you can.

Periodontal Dentistry
We are Your Choice for "Midtown Family Dental "Periodontal Care
At "Midtown Family Dental", we are committed to focusing on your dental hygiene and overall oral health. This means decreasing inflammation through periodontal dentistry. When you have active periodontal disease, the typical routines of home maintenance — including daily dental hygiene and teeth brushing
— may not be effective enough, as those methods generally focus on areas of the tooth that are above the gum-line.
But with regular scaling and root planning procedures, we can remove the build-up of plaque, tartar (calculus) and bacterial toxins (biofilms) from tooth surfaces below the gum line, which are the areas that general home care practices are unable to reach.
At "Midtown Family Dental", we make sure that you are on a twice-per-year — or possibly more, depending on your own individual health needs — frequency of maintenance and/or preventative care schedule.
In order to find appointment times that fit with busy and active lifestyles, most of our clients’ pre-schedule their next visit with us. We will remind you with either a phone call or by e-mail when it is time for your next preventative care visit.

Full Denture
Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth. A denture consists of a plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth in place. Dentures can take some getting used to, and while they may never feel exactly the same as your original teeth, they can look natural and are now more comfortable than ever. At "Midtown Family Dental", we will advise you of all treatment options available based on your unique case Full Dentures are the most common denture appliances made. After the affected teeth are removed, a full denture can be crafted to fit either the upper arch, lower arch or both. The upper denture has a pink denture base that extends across the roof of the mouth to create suction and help keep the denture in place. The lower denture is u-shaped and is designed to fit snugly along the bottom ridge of the jaw.
The term "false teeth" concerns a lot of people. However, we take every step to ensure that your dentures look as natural as possible. Innovations in replacement tooth design have come a long way in making the false teeth look incredibly natural.

Root Canal Treatment
"At Midtown Family Dental" performs Gentle Wave Root Canal Treatment in order to save your teeth from extraction - saving your natural teeth is always our first priority. Root canal treatment is used to save teeth by removing the nerve inside the tooth when it is diseased or dying. Unfortunately, teeth are not able to heal on their own when there is disease or trauma caused to the nerve.
Root canal therapy is a crucial dental treatment used to save teeth that are diseased, infected, fractured, or have become non-vital over time, reducing the need for extracting these teeth.
Busting Common Root Canal Myths

Why You Need a Root Canal
Root canal therapy is required when the nerve inside your tooth - known as the pulp — become infected or exposed from advanced tooth de injury. When the hard-outer layer of the tooth, known as enamel, has been compromised, the nerve inside the tooth can become infected. An called an abscess might occur inside the tooth or at the tip of your root. This abscess destroys the bone that surrounds the tooth which causes pain and discomfort.
What are the Signs of an Infected Tooth?
Signs of an infected tooth are not always identified right away. As the infection begins to progress, you may notice one lor more] of the following sis Pressure in the area of the infected tooth that causes a sharp pain when biting
The tooth becomes reactive to hot or cold food and beverages, and the pain lingers long after the source is removed.

Tooth Extraction
We are choice for “Midtown Family Dental “Wisdom Teeth Extractions
For most people, the thought of having their wisdom teeth extracted induces fear and anxiety. Dr. Bhart Bhushan is pleased to offer "Midtown Family Dental"Wisdom Teeth Extraction at "Midtown Family Dental" Family Dental for people with a fear of wisdom teeth extraction.
Why Wisdom Teeth are Extracted?
Your wisdom teeth are typically the last teeth to develop. There is sometimes not enough room to accommodate the wisdom teeth which impedes their ability to erupt into the mouth correctly. In some cases, the wisdom teeth will partially emerge through the gums and can result in cavities, crowding, or gum infections. Wisdom teeth will often develop diagonally and horizontally, causing significant problems. This uneven development may be responsible for a myriad of oral health problems which include teeth crowding and damage to the adjacent second molars.
When there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to erupt at all, they can cause pain in the gums and bone as they shift. This is known as
'Impacted Wisdom Teeth.' When your wisdom teeth are impacted, the opening around the teeth may become a fertile ground for bacteria to start developing and may lead to an infection in the gum tissues. As a result of this infection, you may experience discomfort, swelling, pain, and illness. The early removal of impacted wisdom teeth is often recommended to avoid future problems and to avoid costly surgical procedures.
Diagnosing Your Treatment with Complete Dental Exams
Dr. Bhart Bhushan will complete a thorough examination of your mouth, including x-rays that will help diagnose the type of wisdom teeth removal you require. Regular dental exams also help you keep your gums and teeth healthy, allowing us to identify any potential concerns to prevent costly dental procedures down the road.
If your wisdom teeth are aligned properly, and the surrounding gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not always have to be removed. With our clinical exam and panoramic imaging, we can inform you if you or your child's wisdom teeth require extraction.
