Marsha is a lovely woman, kind, and generous of time and spirit. She has a family and a job in the New York area. Nevertheless, folks were saying the most dreadful things behind her back. You see, Marsha had really bad breath, and she knew it. Oh, she brushed everyday, but fear kept her away from the dentist. Finally with no other choice, Marsha went to a dentist in her Astoria area. Seems the lady had a really rotten tooth facilitated by periodontal disease, which explained the persistent pain in her jaw as well. Periodontal disease can reach beyond the mouth and cause potentially life threatening issues with the heart, low birth rates, and cause other health complications. Her cosmetic dentist did a routine root canal and installed a crown. Being a anxious dental patient, Marsha took advantage of sedation dentistry. The visit was a positive experience, and she continued for some follow up periodontal treatments. She even took the time to have some laser teeth whitening done. Marsha keeps routine appointments now. Problem solved!
Frank had an auto accident some time ago and suffered the loss of several teeth and resulting, painful jaw problems from TMJ, radiating into his neck and shoulders. He was quite self conscious about the missing teeth and found the jaw pain debilitating. Luckily, he heard about a great reconstructive dentist in his New York/Astoria area. Within a short time, Frank completed some reconstructive surgery, a couple of implants, some crowns, and temporomandibular joint therapy. His pain was relieved, his smile was repaired, and his self confidence returned!
Jim, a student at Drake Business School, had a few missing teeth near the back of his mouth. No big deal, he thought. Well yes, it was becoming a big deal. The missing teeth caused his bite to be “off”, and he began to chew on one side. This caused extra ware on existing teeth. His speech began to be affected. Jim chose to have fixed bridge after consulting with a restorative dentist; a family dentist his father had seen to have some dentures made. Happy ending!
These patients found the Astoria Family Dentist. They found the dentists to be experienced and professional. Their dental problems were successfully managed. The office is well appointed to the point of luxury, including refreshments, CD’s and videos, back massage chairs, heated neck pillows, and lemon scented towels. For them, comfort is critical.
