Preventive, cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry, all under one roof on Harbor Ridge Rd.
General dentistry is a great deal more than a clean and a set of images. It is the work of staying ahead of problems, so that a small shadow on a molar never becomes a root canal on a Friday night.
At every checkup Dr. Mike or Dr. Rosetti look at the whole picture: teeth, gums, bite, old work that may be failing, and anything that does not belong. You will hear exactly what we see and why it matters.
We treat children, parents and grandparents, often on the same afternoon. That is the whole point of a family practice: one office that knows your family history because it watched it happen.
Younger patients get a slower pace and a friendly explanation of every instrument before it goes anywhere near them. Getting a child comfortable at the dentist early is one of the most useful things we do.
Cosmetic dentistry is about the appearance of your teeth, but it is rarely only vanity. Correcting a worn bite or an uneven edge often improves how your mouth actually works.
Dr. Mike designs each case around your face rather than a catalog of stock shapes, whether that means a single chipped tooth or a full smile makeover. You will see the plan before anything is permanent.
An implant is an artificial tooth root that gives a replacement tooth a stronger and more secure foundation than anything that rests on the gum. It is the closest thing to getting the original back.
Dr. Mike is a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and has spent years on implant and bone management training. Planning, placement and the final tooth all happen in this office.
Straightening teeth without wires or brackets. Clear aligners shift your teeth gradually using a series of removable trays, so nothing gets stuck in metalwork and brushing stays normal.
Dr. Mike is Invisalign certified and we plan every case individually. Most adults tell us the biggest surprise is how little anyone notices they are wearing them.
Gum disease develops quietly and is often well established before anything hurts. Bleeding when you brush, tenderness, persistent bad breath, receding gums or a tooth that feels loose all deserve a look.
Treatment focuses on stopping the infection, restoring gum health and preventing the bone loss that eventually costs you teeth. Caught early, most cases are straightforward.
When a tooth is cracked, worn down or already gone, restorative work rebuilds it so you can chew and speak without thinking about it. Function first, appearance close behind.
We fit crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, and tooth colored fillings. If you are wearing dentures that no longer fit properly, that is worth a conversation.
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected, a root canal removes the inflamed tissue, cleans and seals the canals, and usually saves the natural tooth. It is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests.
Laughing gas gently relaxes you during treatment and takes the edge off discomfort. It wears off quickly, so most patients drive themselves home afterwards.
Professional whitening lifts years of staining from coffee, tea, wine and ordinary wear. Noticeably better results than anything sold in a box.
Thin custom shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps and uneven spacing. Minimally invasive and built to last.
Several cosmetic treatments combined into one plan, sequenced properly, and designed to hold up over the long term rather than just photograph well.
Toothaches, fractures, knocked out teeth and swelling do not wait. Call (555) 018-5240 and we will do everything we can to get you seen.
The office sits on Harbor Ridge Rd in Bayridge Heights, minutes from Grasmere, Dongan Hills, Todt Hill, New Dorp and Emerson Hill. Patients also drive up from Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale and Marshfield, and across the Verrazzano from Brooklyn and New Jersey.
