Gone are the days of messy, gooey dental impressions!

With the power of a digital scanner, we can take digital molds of your mouth with no more plaster or goo. Based on those scans, we can also store, manipulate, and fabricate many different items. We can make restorations and appliances with the scanner, such as crowns, bridges, implant restorations, partials, dentures, night guards, and many other items.

For many patients, the sounds of the dental office and certain procedures can be anxiety-inducing. Noise-canceling headphones eliminate those sounds and allow you to relax while you're in the dental chair. 

Having televisions in all of our treatment rooms provide a couple of benefits. First, we can use them to share information like dental x-rays or color photos of your teeth that allow you to see what Dr. Shteingart sees. This mean's you'll be able to make educated decisions about the best treatment for your smile. 

Next, you can also use the television to watch your favorite movie or program during your treatment, which provides a fun distraction for patients with longer procedures.

If you've ever felt anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist, you're not alone! Millions of people feel the same way, which is why Dr. Shteingart offers dental sedation in Teaneck with nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. 

Laughing gas is delivered through a comfortable mask you'll wear during your procedure, and it quickly leaves your system as soon as you remove it. Nitrous doesn't leave you with long-lasting side effects; in fact, it's safe for you to drive afterward and continue your normal activities. It's also safe for children, and we can use it during most procedures. 

If you think you'd benefit from using nitrous during your dental procedures, talk with Dr. Shteingart about your options.  

Our CBCT cone beam technology allows us to take 3-D x-rays of your teeth, jawbone, joints, and soft tissues. These images allow for planning complex treatment procedures like dental implant surgery or root canal treatment. With these detailed images, Dr. Shteingart is able to achieve the best outcomes for his patients. 

Digital x-rays allow us to diagnose and plan treatment procedures efficiently and effectively. The images are readily available when we take them, with no development required. You and Dr. Shteingart can see the images on the television screens in our treatment rooms so that you can discuss any treatment needs.

It is also easier to store, share, or transfer digital x-rays to other providers if necessary. Digital x-rays also emit less radiation for our patients than traditional film images, and they require no chemicals to develop, which is better for our environment.  

The dental laser allows us to more comfortably and efficiently deliver several types of procedures to patients, such as:

• Periodontal (gum) disease treatment
• Gum contouring - eliminating excess gum tissue and contouring the gum line
• Dental fillings

The laser combines light and heat for accuracy and precision in eliminating compromised gum tissues. It also sterilizes the treated area, which helps to accelerate healing. 

Our digital network allows our team to safely store and maintain patient records, making them more easily accessible when needed. 

Our tiny intraoral camera lets us take pictures of your teeth and gum tissues in full color that we can display and share with you on the televisions in our treatment rooms. When you can see what Dr. Shteingart sees, it is easier to understand his treatment recommendations and determine the best procedures for your smile. 

The panoramic x-ray gives a full view of your teeth in one image. This x-ray is especially helpful when planning orthodontic treatment, like clear aligners with Invisalign in Teaneck.
