Dr. Kent completes advanced IV training at Albert Einstein

Dr. Kent and Dr. Blakely completed advanced training in intravenous sedation from the esteemed Albert Einstein Medical College. This training took place treating real cases at Montefiore Hospital in New York City. This level of accomplishment in anesthesiology is important to the safety and well-being of Smile Center patients like you, so we can provide IV sedation when it is helpful. And for patients needing long complex procedures or who have complex medical histories we have our associate board certified anesthesiologists available to assist serving our patients in our office.

Same Day Crowns

We now have the technology to provide same day crowns. No more impressions and no more temporaries! An image of your readied tooth is scanned with a wand into a lap top computer. Right away the crown is designed often before your eyes. The design is then “sent” wirelessly to the mill in the lab in our office where your crown is made right then, while you wait, out of the latest and finest materials to blend in with your other teeth. As soon as it is done, the crown is then cemented or bonded onto your tooth. Schedule your appointment now for your same day crown.

Patient INR and glucose testing: doing more than “fixing your teeth”

More than two million people take medication to prevent dangerous blood clots. Most of those people are also dental patients. Blood thinners can cause serious complications for any type of surgical procedure, including dental. For patients who are on blood thinners, Dr. Kent will, of course, consult with the prescribing physician prior to a dental procedure. However, The Smile Center goes a step further with INR (International Normalized Ratio) testing. This simple test, done just before treatment, tells us your exact bleeding values within about two minutes, so there’s no guesswork and no surprises.

We also perform glucose tolerance testing for new patients, and those with diabetes (prior to a dental procedure), since unstable blood sugar impacts your dental care.

Introducing Gag-less X-rays.

Gag-less X-rays have arrived! Imagine not having to have anything put into your mouth when dental x-rays are taken. Say goodbye to the discomfort and gagging associated with dental X-Rays. The Smile Center has just acquired a Planmeca Promax. This is the only digital panoramic/cephalometric X-ray unit that allows 99% of all needed dental X-rays to be taken without putting the dental film or recording device into the patient’s mouth.
