Welcome to Sparkle Dental

When you need a cavity filled, wouldn’t you like the filling to look just like your natural tooth enamel? That’s exactly what we do with tooth-colored fillings. The filling material is color-matched to your tooth, leaving you with a natural-looking smile. Another advantage of tooth-colored fillings is they bond to your tooth enamel very well, which means we remove less tooth enamel than is required for metal fillings.

The best way to keep your smile healthy is by preventing cavities and other dental problems. Prevention includes brushing and flossing regularly, and getting regular dental exams. We want to stress how important regular dental exams are to your overall oral health. By finding cavities when they first start forming, we can repair them before they do extensive damage to your teeth. Another part of prevention is the thorough dental cleaning you’ll receive. Our dental hygienists will remove the buildup of material which accumulates below your gum line that regular brushing leaves behind and which can lead to gum disease. Set up an appointment with our office to help restore your dental health.

We do everything possible to preserve your teeth. But sometimes a tooth just has to come out. It may be too decayed to save or, in the case of wisdom teeth, they may need to come out because they’re pushing against your other molars and causing problems. It’s not necessary for you to put up with the discomfort and pain caused by problem teeth. Call Sparkle Dental at (914) 668-1722 so we can do something about it.

You’ve probably heard of periodontal disease. This is just the scientific way of saying “gum disease.” “Periodontal” literally means “around the tooth.” The good news is gum disease can be treated effectively. We check for gum disease when you come in for your regular dental exams. But if you notice redness, swelling, soreness or bleeding of your gums when you brush or floss, don’t wait for your six-month checkup. Make an appointment now so we can see if you’re experiencing gum disease. The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to correct.

Do you have a tooth which has been broken or is badly decayed? In this case, a filling may not be adequate for repairing your tooth. We use a dental crown to repair teeth when a filling won’t work. A crown is a tooth-colored cap which sits over your damaged tooth, giving you back your natural smile. A dental bridge restores your smile by filling in the gap left by a missing tooth. You don’t need to live with damaged or missing teeth. Call us at (914) 668-1722 for an appointment to find out what we can do to restore your teeth.

A root canal procedure is done to save an infected tooth. When the soft tissue inside your tooth’s root becomes infected, there are usually only two options: extraction or root canal. A root canal procedure removes the infected material while leaving the tooth in place.

Do you stop breathing for a few seconds or even a minute or more while sleeping? This is a medical condition known as “sleep apnea.” It’s a serious condition that can lead to other health issues if not treated. At Sparkle Dental, we can supply you with a custom-made oral appliance that helps keep your air passages clear while you sleep, relieving your sleep apnea.
