Considering Wisdom Tooth Extraction During the Holiday Break!

new-york-oral-surgery — Fri, 04 Dec 2015 10:51:33 +0000

The holidays have arrived! As children eagerly await the festivities, they also receive some time away from their schoolwork during the holiday break. Though dental health may seem like the least of your child’s concerns during this time, the mini-vacation could be an ideal opportunity to undergo wisdom tooth extraction without having to miss extensive time from school or activities.

When wisdom teeth begin to erupt, they can cause pain and infection, if not properly treated. Thanks to innovative technology, recovery from wisdom tooth extraction takes a mere 2-3 days for many patients—short enough for your child to recover in time for the new year. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein can remove wisdom teeth early on and prevent potential complications that may arise if troublesome wisdom teeth are not extracted.

Why Have My Child’s Wisdom Teeth Removed?

There are various reasons as to why wisdom teeth may have to be removed. Many wisdom teeth do not erupt properly in the mouth. As a result, these teeth may grow in sideways or partially emerge from the gums. Worse, they can become impacted or blocked underneath the gums, leading to potential misalignment of other teeth, gum disease, and potentially cause straight teeth to become crooked. Furthermore, they may cause pain and infection around the affected area, as food and bacteria may become trapped.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?

The suggested course of action when considering wisdom tooth removal is to extract teeth that are not erupting properly as early as possible. By being proactive about wisdom teeth extraction, patients can eliminate potential issues later on. Delaying your child’s wisdom teeth procedure may result in longer healing times and a greater risk of further dental damage.

How Does Dr. Stein Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Dr. Stein can remove wisdom teeth either under local or deep sedation anesthesia, depending on the needs of the patient. The teeth will be removed individually during the procedure using minimally-invasive incisions. Dr. Stein’s technique also results in less bone removal than more traditional wisdom tooth removal procedures, allowing for less-extensive recovery.

What Is Recovery Like?

Wisdom tooth extraction usually requires 2-3 days of recovery following treatment. Patients can expect moderate swelling after the procedure that also lasts approximately 2-3 days. Ice and prescribed medication can help reduce this swelling. Dr. Stein can discuss post-care instructions during your wisdom tooth consultation at our New York office.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about wisdom tooth extraction, as well as any of our other procedures. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Introducing nSequence® Software for Dental Implants & More!

new-york-oral-surgery — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:05:23 +0000

Oral surgery truly has come a long way. Specialized imaging software has allowed for precise dental mapping, while advanced technology can create customized dental implants to fit in with your individual set of teeth. Advancements such as these have made procedures safer and have produced better results, thanks to careful planning and execution. Creating a concise strategy before dental implant placement is crucial, as effective planning can result in less unforeseen circumstances during the procedure and less overall risk. nSequence® is the newest way to plan ahead for your oral procedure!

This innovative dental software and restoration planning acts as a guide when performing the placement of dental implants. Once the implants are placed, a temporary restoration of the final teeth can be placed the same day by the restorative dentists because all the planning has been done beforehand. This makes the “Teeth in a Day” procedure much more predictable and streamlined. Check out some of the benefits of nSequence® below. Dr. Stein is the only Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in NYC that is currently able to use this technology.

Detailed CT-Scans

nSequence® software uses the CT scan taken in Dr. Stein’s office in combination with a restorative plan made together between Dr. Stein and your restorative dentist to formulate a surgical guide that will be used during the implant placement procedure. nSequence® scanning technology can produce a virtual wax-up (a virtual image or impression of your teeth) that can then be modified according to the desired treatment.

Planning Oral Surgery With Precision

nSequence® allows for precise planning in preparation for a variety of procedures. This software acts as a guide—allowing for accurate, realistic results with every change made on screen. Every surgical option can be displayed and surgeons can place implants at the desired depth, angles, and trajectory. Oral surgeons can even display multiple treatment options in order to determine the best course of action that coincides with the patients goals and desires.

Multiple Types Of Surgical And Restorative Procedures

nSequence® can safely and efficiently plan a host of oral procedures, including:

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about nSequence®, bone grafting, dental implants, or any of our other procedures.

How a Sinus Lift Can Create Ample Space for Dental Implants!

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 21 Oct 2015 16:15:26 +0000

One of the most interesting things about oral surgery is the complexity of the maxillofacial region. Every patient’s situation is unique in some way. While many of us have enough bone density and space to place dental implants, this isn’t the case for every patient.

Sometimes, additional dental work is required to properly undergo dental implant surgery. For patients who have lost bone around the upper jaw, a bone graft is required to create a strong platform for dental implants. However, this bone loss may lead to the sinuses being located too close to the jaw, and additional room must first be created in order to place your implants. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein can perform a sinus lift to move the sinuses further away from the jawbone in order to pave your way to a fuller smile.

First, Dr. Stein will make a small incision in your jawbone in order to properly lift the sinus to the desired location. Once your sinuses are moved and space is created, a bone graft will be placed in preparation for your dental implants. A period of 6-9 months is required to ensure that the new bone fully integrates with your jaw and heals. There are a variety of bone grafting options, including utilizing your own bone, cadaver bone, or special bone grafting materials, such as the INFUSE® bone morphogenic protein. Dr. Stein will discuss which bone grafting option is right for you.

Once your bone grafts are fully healed following your sinus augmentation, Dr. Stein will place your dental implants—providing natural-looking results that function just like real teeth and allow you to smile with confidence. Dr. Stein strives to find solutions that meet every patient’s unique needs and circumstances. Those who suffer from decreased bone density can still enjoy the benefits of dental implants thanks to the sinus lift procedure.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about the sinus lift, bone grafting, dental implants, or any of our other procedures. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Place Multiple Dental Implants with the All-On-4 (or More) Method!

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:27:14 +0000

Looking to ditch your dentures? The “All-On-4” (or More) method is designed for patients who are looking to replace their dentures or who may need dentures later on. Unlike traditional dental implants that use a screw to anchor each individual tooth, the All-On-4 (or More) dental implant system uses just 4 (or more) implants to anchor an entire set of teeth! At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we are proud to offer this innovative method of dental implant surgery!

Benefits of Placing Multiple Dental Implants

All-On-4 (or More) dental implants are permanent and can improve your smile for a lifetime! These implants help prevent bone deterioration and help maintain a healthy, full-appearing smile and facial structures. Additionally, many patients report an increased ability to chew food. Unlike dentures, there is no need for removal, as the All-On-4 (or More) method produces a fixed set of teeth. Your implants act similar to natural teeth, allowing you to brush and floss and eat virtually any type of food.

Unlike traditional dental implants, patients do not require bone grafting before undergoing All-On-4 (or More) treatment. Your All-On-4 (or More) procedure can be completed in one session and requires little downtime. Many patients resume daily activities the following day! Dr. Stein will schedule a follow-up appointment with you to finalize your All-On-4 (or More) procedure and evaluate your results.

Dr. Stein is dedicated to the long-term health of his patients and is always looking ahead to assure the most efficient care possible. If you currently have dentures, or may require dentures later on, consider the All-On-4 (or More) method for a natural-looking set of teeth.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about the All-On-4 (or More) method, dental implants, or any of our other procedures! You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Bone Grafting Options for Areas of Missing Teeth!

new-york-oral-surgery — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 13:56:06 +0000

Getting a tooth removed can be a concerning thought for many. When preparing for a tooth extraction, you may not be focused on anything but the procedure itself; this is certainly an understandable feeling. However, it is beneficial to also think about the future when removing a tooth.

After undergoing a tooth extraction, it is imperative that you fill the area of the missing tooth with a dental implant. If not, surrounding teeth may collapse inward—affecting tooth function and possibly altering your facial profile. Many patients, though, do not undergo a bone graft or bone maintenance after tooth extractions. As a result, bone loss begins to occur in the area where your tooth used to be. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein offers a breakthrough bone grafting method to encourage bone growth and formation in areas that are missing teeth in preparation for dental implants.

INFUSE® Bone Graft is the newest way to stimulate bone regeneration! INFUSE® is made from a special bone morphogenic protein that is found naturally in the body and promotes bone growth. Additionally, the type of bone being created as a result of INFUSE® BMP is natural bone—the same that is found throughout the body.

INFUSE® is different from other bone grafting methods in that it uses neither cadaver bone nor bone from other parts of your body—two techniques that may result in several bone grafting attempts to achieve the desired outcome. INFUSE® BMP can deliver precise and natural results, so you can grow a strong foundation for the future placement of dental implants.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about INFUSE® BMP, bone grafting, dental implants, or any of our other procedures! You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Sinus Grafting for Dental Implants!

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:53:00 +0000

Considering dental implants to replace missing teeth? While many patients have ample bone and space to undergo their dental implant procedure smoothly, some may require additional procedures in order to ensure proper placement. When there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw or if the sinuses are too close, a dental implant will require a sinus lift to ensure adequate bone for placement of the implant. For those who have enlarged sinuses or less jawbone density, Dr. Stein offers sinus grafting to lift the sinuses and add a bone graft—allowing for dental implants to be properly inserted.

Your Sinus Graft Procedure

Dr. Stein uses the latest dental technology to lift the sinus membrane away from the jawbone. By doing so, ample space is created above the jaw for bone grafting to support your dental implant. The materials for your bone graft can come from a variety of sources. Dr. Stein has developed a very successful bone graft combination in his many years of practice. In some cases, synthetic materials, such as xenograft and/or INFUSE® bone grafting material, can be used to encourage bone growth. Once your graft is placed, the bone requires a period of about 4-6 months to heal and integrate with the jaw. Dr. Stein has developed a minimally invasive technique to add bone around the sinus area, often avoiding the need for “conventional“ sinus elevation procedures.

After your healing period ends, Dr. Stein is ready to place your dental implants. Implants are inserted into the jawbone and bond over time. These implants look and feel like your natural teeth—allowing you to eat virtually any food!

Sinus grafting can help those with enlarged sinuses or low jawbone density. Patients who have lost bone due to factors like gum disease and tooth loss can lift the sinus to create additional room.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about sinus grafting, bone grafting, dental implants, or any of our other procedures. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Planning Ahead for Future Dental Implants, with Dr. Stein!

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 16:26:12 +0000

When it comes to your health, planning ahead is always a positive. Other dentists may perform routine procedures, such as tooth extractions, without considering the future effects that such a procedure can cause. Here at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein’s top priority is your well-being—both now and in the future.

When the time comes to extract a tooth, Dr. Stein advises to undergo a bone graft after the extraction. Placing a bone graft after removing a tooth builds a stronger foundation for possible procedures down the road, such as inserting a dental implant.

Bone grafts can take up to 4-6 months to fully heal, so choosing to undergo a graft immediately after removing a tooth will prepare your jaw bone for dental implants, expiditing future dental procedures. Choosing to undergo a bone graft immediately after your tooth extraction also promotes healing and future bone growth in your jaw—creating a stronger and healthier overall bone structure.

During the procedure, Dr. Stein will carefully extract your damaged or impacted tooth. Some examples of a donor location include the patient’s own bone, as well as synthetic material, as is the case with INFUSE®, an innovative bone grafting technique using a special protein to encourage bone growth. In some cases, Dr. Stein will insert a special membrane around the bone graft for protection during healing.

After a period of 4-6 months, your dental implant is placed. Dental implants allow you to smile with confidence! These implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and bond to your bone, creating a strong foundation. Dental implants provide numerous benefits, including:

Look like natural teeth
Can eat virtually any food
Preserve your facial structure
Feel like real teeth

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about bone grafting, dental implants, or any of our other procedures! You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Advances in Bone Grafting: Using INFUSE®!

new-york-oral-surgery — Tue, 19 May 2015 15:31:06 +0000

Bone grafting can help treat various dental health problems, such as providing strength, stability, and density to anchor implants and replace bone mass, no matter the cause. For example, many patients who have lost teeth and need dental implants undergo bone grafting to ensure that their bone is strong enough to support new teeth. In addition, patients with jawbone deficiencies lose bone mass over time and look to bone grafting as a way to replace this missing mass. Some patients suffer trauma to the jaw, as well as infection and disease—both of which can adversely affect bone structure—requiring new bone to fill voids left by these unforeseen circumstances.

Here at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in different bone grafting methods to strengthen your jawline. One such method is the advanced bone grafting material known as INFUSE®.

INFUSE® is a special protein that stimulates your own body to make bone tissue! This protein is often used for bone grafting in large areas—usually spanning 2 or more teeth. First, our New York oral surgeon will combine a synthetically-made bone with cadaver tissue to create a special bone graft. This graft will then be added to the INFUSE® protein to create a completely unique piece of bone.

When grafted to your jaw, INFUSE® will stimulate your bone to create tissue, so you can naturally grow bone mass and increase bone density! INFUSE® results are extremely successful, with over 70 cases performed to satisfaction. Dr. Stein is one of the first oral surgeons in the country to use this innovative bone grafting method!

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about bone grafting or INFUSE®, as well as any of our other procedures. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Dental Implants Are Your Solution for Multiple Missing Teeth!

new-york-oral-surgery — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:37:21 +0000

Looking to replace multiple missing teeth? Here at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our team of NYC dentists has the perfect method to ensure continued health and longevity for your new teeth! The “All-on-4” method is designed to place dental implants while simultaneously assuring flexibility for future dental procedures.

First, Dr. Stein will test your bite and bone availability to ensure that the bone can handle the number of dental implants being inserted. If your jawbone is strong enough, then Dr. Stein will plan to insert at least four dental implants to anchor an entire row of missing teeth.

The All-on-4 method will guard against future factors that can be problematic, like losing one of your dental implants. This way, should you need additional work done down the road, losing a single dental implant won’t compromise your entire row of teeth by preventing future work from being completed. Dr. Stein is always looking out for his patients’ best interests—not only in the present, but for their long-term dental health as well. Thus, he often chooses to place more than four dental implants to guard against complications that can occur over time.

The All-on-4 method is a faster and easier solution than placing one dental implant per tooth. In addition, it is a much more effective alternative than dentures because it reinforces structure throughout your entire mouth.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about dental implants, our All-on-4 method, or any of our other procedures! You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

More Patients Are Opting For Dental Implants Over Bridgework Than Ever Before!

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:36:05 +0000

For years, the thought of getting dentures or bridgework has been a nightmare. Chewing certain foods can cause dentures to loosen and fall out of your mouth. Your bridges can shift around and cause damage to surrounding teeth, let alone pain and discomfort.

Thankfully, there is a more efficient solution to replace that missing tooth! Here at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in dental implants—the most effective way to replace teeth without the embarrassments and hassles of traditional bridgework or dentures.

Dental implants are the most natural-looking solution to missing teeth! Not only are they exact replicas of real-teeth, but they also feel like your natural set! You won’t have to worry about certain foods getting in the way of your new implants, either, because dental implants allow you eat nearly any type of food with ease.

No more pain and discomfort while chewing! Gone are the days of replacement teeth coming loose while going about your daily routine. Our dental implants fit securely and, most importantly, comfortably.

Not only do implants look and feel great, but they’re also convenient. Unlike dentures and bridges, which require daily maintenance, implants require no special care. You aren’t required to remove your implants every night before bed or apply special pastes and powders to prevent bone deterioration.

Whether you need a single crown for one missing tooth, or a bridge for your upper or lower jaw, dental implants are the most convenient and efficient way to restore your smile!

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about dental implants, as well as any of our other procedures.

Dental Implants Are More Successful Than Ever: Advancements in Bone Grafting

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 16:34:40 +0000

Gone are the days of the Tooth Fairy. Unlike when we were younger, lost teeth won’t grow back; instead, we are left with an empty space as a permanent reminder. Such gaps are not only unsightly, but they also lead to problems eating and cause overall discomfort. However, imagine getting artificial teeth that look, feel, and act like your real ones! That’s where dental implants come in. Dental implants have become one of the most popular ways to replace missing teeth! Unlike traditional dentures and bridgework, dental implants fit comfortably and securely without the need for special care. Due to recent technological advancements, people who lacked the bone density to qualify for dental implants can now enjoy natural-looking and permanent substitutes! By combining bone grafting and dental implant surgery, you can replace missing teeth and ensure the success of anchoring your new teeth! At New York Oral Surgery, Dr. Stein is at the forefront of both bone grafting and dental implant technology!

One such technology is the Cone Beam CT scan, which measures your jaw density and ensures that your dentals implants are placed correctly and can produce the desired results for years to come! When undergoing dental implant surgery, sometimes the jawbone lacks the bone density required to support the implant being inserted; this leads to a smaller implant being inserted as a replacement, which can ruin the entire process. That’s why Dr. Stein offers the Cone Beam CT scan in order to properly measure your jaw bone’s exact volume and density. By recording these measurements, Dr. Stein can determine exactly how much bone grafting is needed in order to properly anchor your dental implants. Once your teeth are extracted, the precise bone graft is placed to increase density in preparation of your dental implant.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about our CT Cone technology, as well as our bone grafting and dental implants procedures. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Do you get 8 hours of sleep a night but still wake feeling exhausted? Do your loved ones complain of your disruptive, chronic snoring? Has the lack of a restful sleep affected your performance at school or work? You may be experiencing symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that plagues over 12 million Americans. This illness is a sleep disorder that causes a pause in breathing when airways are obstructed. Sleep apnea leads to increased fatigue and an increased risk for certain illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes, and liver impairment. With side effects of moodiness, decreased attention, and drive, sleep apnea can affect all aspects of your life, including the quality of your relationships as well as your performance in work or school. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, offers the innovative Pillar Procedure for sleep apnea, helping you obtain a more restful sleep.

Taking only 20 minutes to complete, the Pillar Procedure in NYC works by placing several tiny implants into the soft palate. These implants stiffen the palate tissue, reducing the vibrations that cause snoring and airway obstruction. The treatment is an out-patient procedure requiring only local anesthesia and no downtime post-op. The Pillar Procedure will reduce snoring up to 80%! After this procedure, patients report a more restful sleep, increased alertness, and an overall lifestyle improvement.

Experience an improved performance at work and school after the Pillar Procedure in NYC! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and the Pillar Procedure.

Dr. Stein’s technique for wisdom tooth extraction requires only a small incision, resulting in fewer stitches and a reduced chance of infection, compared to other techniques. The minimally invasive procedure also facilitates less bone removal, giving patients a faster recovery period of only two to three days. To reduce pain after surgery, Dr. Stein will inject a medication for swelling and discomfort. Our oral surgeon will ensure your child’s procedure is as pain-free as possible, allowing them to return back to swimming, hiking, and enjoying the summer sun faster than you may have imagined. You may be considering delaying extraction, but be aware, by postponing wisdom tooth removal, you’re increasing the risk of:

Shifting Teeth
Jaw Pain
Infection
Cysts
Longer Recovery
More Extensive Surgery

Immediate Dental Implants Offered By Dr. Stein

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 17:51:46 +0000

Long and tedious are words often used to describe traditional dental implant placement but Dr. Mark Stein offers an alternative, more convenient solution. Oral surgeons usually require patients to wait for the gums and jawbone to heal after tooth extraction before an implant can be placed, then once an implant is inserted, patients are often expected to wait another four to six months for an actual tooth to be placed atop an implant. The process can discourage many patients from deciding to undergo dental implant placement. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, understands the necessity of efficient and precise dental care, and has developed a new technique that allows many patients to leave the office with a new dental implant in NYC the same day as tooth extraction!

NYC oral surgeon, Dr. Stein, developed immediate dental implants using his CT cone beam scan machine. As one of only a few oral surgeons to have this machine at their surgical suite, he is at the forefront of technology in his field. The CT cone beam scan machine develops hundreds of photos to create a 3D image of your jaw. The imaging allows Dr. Stein to evaluate bone density, helping to determine the best placement for an implant. Dr. Stein is also able to use the imaging to plan the size and shape of the dental implant before tooth extraction. You will leave our office with a natural-looking dental implant the same day as your tooth extraction in NY!

If you’re considering dental implants, but don’t want to be hassled with the traditional wait involved with most dental implant procedures, Dr. Stein’s immediate dental implant placement may be the best option for you. Call our oral surgery center today for more information on tooth extraction and dental implant placement all in one day! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

CT Cone Beam Scanning for Fast Dental Implants

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:25:59 +0000

Traditional dental implants once involved an unfortunate and inconvenient wait between the tooth extraction and implantations stages of dental implant surgery. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, however, offers the most advanced techniques in dental surgery, and can literally bridge the gap between extraction and implantation. New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery offers same-day dental implant placement using CT Cone Beam scanning for imaging.

Dr. Mark Stein is one of a few New York oral surgeons to offer Cone Beam scanning in-office, allowing for immediate dental implant placement. This CT scan system accesses the jaw to help plan for surgical implants. The CT machine emits x-ray beams in the shape of a cone, rotating around the patient's head. Helping to visualize the facial structure, New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery's Cone Beam scanning takes hundreds of images to obtain a 3D image of your jaw. This provides Dr. Stein with a clear evaluation of bone density in the area of the decayed tooth. Dr. Stein then uses the information produced by the CT scan to design the shape and size of your customized dental implant before tooth extraction. On the day of extraction, Dr. Stein has a custom designed dental implant ready for immediate placement.

Immediate dental implant placement is a revolutionary procedure offered by very few oral surgeons. The CT cone beam scanning system provides our oral surgeon with precise imaging to virtually design the implant and its exact placement. Call our oral surgery center today, so you can experience tooth extraction and dental implant placement all in one day! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

Corrective Jaw Surgery in NYC: Get Your Bite Back on Track

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 14 May 2014 15:57:28 +0000

Issues relating to a misaligned jaw can cause difficulty chewing, biting and swallowing food. You may experience excessive jaw pain, tooth wear, and even sleep apnea. Sometimes, the jawbone can be so askew, it causes your chin to recede and your jaw to protrude, altering your facial appearance. Whether your misaligned jaw often is related to a birth defect or facial injury, New York City oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, offers orthognathic surgery to correct debilitating jaw disorders. So you can experience relief from these symptoms and get your life back on track.

Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is a procedure to reposition your jaw and may require adding, removing or reshaping jawbone. Usually, your jaw surgeon and an orthodontist will work together to help realign your jaw. Braces can be used to reposition your jaw before surgery, and orthodontic treatment to correctly align your teeth will be utilized after surgery. Speak to Dr. Stein to discuss how he can work together with your orthodontist to achieve the best results from your individual jaw disorder.

Jaw surgery leaves little to no scarring, as most incisions are completely on the inside of the mouth, though occasionally an incision on the outside of the mouth may be required. You will begin to see results from jaw surgery in NY not long after the procedure, but full results from orthognathic surgery can take 9-12 months. Jaw surgery will dramatically improve the appearance of your face. Patients who have had corrective jaw surgery report satisfaction with their newly gained smile, significantly reduced jaw pain, and often improved speech.

Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and orthognathic surgery in NY. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request your appointment online today!

Dental Implants in NYC after Tooth Extraction

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 18:14:45 +0000

Are you ready for dental implants for your front teeth, but need tooth extraction before placement? After tooth extraction, patients can wait up to six months for their mouth to completely heal and jawbone density to grow. The long wait can leave patients with inconvenient, temporary teeth for an extended time period. Dr. Mark Stein at New York Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery offers dental implant placement immediately after tooth extraction, resulting in new a smile, faster!

Depending on the quality of your jawbone, the placement of the implant, and the amount of dental implants being placed, Dr. Mark Stein can successfully place a dental implant in NYC directly after tooth extraction. Dental implants placed immediately after tooth extraction are most successful when only implanting a single tooth. Immediate implant placement has many benefits, including:

Reducing surgical steps and treatment time
Avoiding the need for jawbone grafting
Preserving the soft tissue and jawbone, leading to a more natural-looking implantation

Dr. Mark Stein offers a revolutionary technique for immediate dental implant placement. He is one of a select few oral surgeons to have an in-office cone bean CT scan machine. Having this technology on-site allows him to work with a cosmetic dental laboratory to design a replacement tooth of the right shape and size. During the procedure, Dr. Stein removes the decayed tooth and places the dental implant based on computer planning. The tooth is immediately placed after implantation.

Dr. Mark Stein and the staff at our oral surgery center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction NYC

Minimally Invasive Wisdom Tooth Extraction Gives Results Fast!

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:14:23 +0000

Are you considering wisdom tooth extraction because of the jaw aches and tooth pain caused by impacted wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth removal may seem like an inconvenient and unnecessary procedure now, but having them removed can prevent future health problems. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 90% of young adults will have at least one impacted (not fully grown in, does not break the gum line) wisdom tooth. This impacted tooth can cause damage to neighboring teeth, leading to infection and possible gum disease. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, offers a more convenient procedure, so you can properly take care of your oral health without taking time out of your daily life.

Minimally invasive wisdom tooth extraction in NYC entails a smaller incision, requiring fewer stitches, and reducing the chance of infection compared to traditional wisdom tooth removal. If a patient has an impacted wisdom tooth, bone removal may be necessary to extract the tooth. Dr. Stein's minimally invasive technique requires less bone removal than the traditional procedure. Less bone removal results in a less invasive surgery, giving patients a faster recovery time and lesser chance of complications.

After wisdom tooth removal, our NYC oral surgeon will inject medication into the surgical site to reduce the swelling and discomfort usually experienced from traditional wisdom teeth extraction. Although recovery time will vary on a case by case basis, Dr. Stein’s minimally invasive wisdom tooth extractions usually require a recovery time of only two to three days, at most!

The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons stresses the importance of wisdom teeth maintenance. By removing your wisdom teeth today, you’ll have a healthier smile tomorrow! To find out if minimally invasive wisdom tooth extraction can improve your oral health, call Dr. Mark Stein at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to schedule a consult and further discuss wisdom tooth removal. Call 212-888-4760 or schedule an appointment online today!

Pillar Procedure in NYC Corrects Snoring

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:23:34 +0000

Have you awoken after a full night’s sleep feeling exhausted? Does your partner complain of a restless night’s sleep because of your snoring? You may be experiencing the effects of a loose soft palate. A loose soft palate is a contributing factor for 4 out of 5 chronic snorers. During sleep, excessive tissue can collapse and leave pressure on the soft palate, this pressure causes vibrations resulting in loud snores. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer the Pillar Procedure, a technique that offers an 85% success rate in correcting snoring!

The Pillar Procedure stiffens your soft palate to reduce vibrations by placing tiny implants into your palate. These tiny implants are not visible and cannot be felt. In time, your body will form tissue around the implant, stabilizing your palate, eliminating vibrations, and correcting snoring. The Pillar Procedure is performed in-office, under local anesthesia, and only takes 20 minutes to complete. This minimally invasive procedure requires little downtime, and will not interfere with swallowing or speech.

Although some patients report seeing improvements as early as a few weeks, full results will not be seen for a few months. The results are definitely worth the wait! Patients will notice a snoring reduction up to 80% after the procedure, leading to a quieter, more restful sleep. The results from the Pillar Procedure are permanent.

Experience a more relaxing sleep after the Pillar Procedure in NYC! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and the Pillar Procedure. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request your appointment online today!

Jawbone Grafting New York

Be Ready For Your New Smile with Jawbone Grafting!

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:28:05 +0000

Are you considering dental implants, but aren’t quite ready for the surgery? Dental implants can help you smile with radiance! These implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridgework, dental implants will not shift, click, feel uncomfortable, hinder your diet or damage adjoining teeth. Dental implants require no extra maintenance and will help preserve your facial structure while giving you a beautiful smile! Dental implants in NY are surgically placed and may require Jawbone grafting if a patient does not have dense jawbone structure.

What is Jawbone Grafting?

Jawbone grafting in NYC is a procedure completed before dental implants. Most commonly used when existing jawbone is lacking density, grafting techniques help promote bone growth and create volume where future implants will be placed. Usually, the material used for jawbone grafting at New York City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is either harvested bone from the patient, specially prepared bone from cadavers or synthetic material, or INFUSE®, an advanced new bone grafting material that uses protein to promote bone growth. Jawbone grafting usually takes around 4 to 9 months to heal before an implant can be placed.

Why do I need Jawbone Grafting after a tooth extraction?

Even if a patient has dense jawbone, after removing a tooth, if a dental implant is not placed, jawbone may begin to deteriorate. Various other ailments can cause your jawbone to weaken including, trauma, infection, gum disease, surgery, and congenital defects. Without a strong, substantial jawbone, dental implants cannot be supported.

Dr. Mark Stein can help prepare your smile for dental implants with Jawbone Grafting in NYC. To learn more about Jawbone Grafting in New York, contact us at 212.888.4760, or schedule an appointment online. Dr. Stein and the staff at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery would be happy to discuss your options.

Pillar Procedure in NYC will Improve Heart Health!

new-york-oral-surgery — Fri, 06 Dec 2013 09:47:29 +0000

Do you sleep regularly, but never feel well rested? Do you wake up during your sleep gasping for air? Are you a chronic snorer? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea in NYC is a condition that pauses your breathing during sleep, anywhere from 5-30 times per hour! Caused by a narrowing of the airway, sleep apnea is more common in patients who are overweight, but can affect others. This condition will not only prevent a restful night’s sleep, but also cause high blood pressure, stroke, and even heart failure! Yes, the effects of sleep apnea can be fatal, and unfortunately, one in five adults suffer from at least minor sleep apnea.

When suffering from sleep apnea, you are more likely to have high blood pressure. Other heart conditions you may suffer are:

Atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat)
Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
Coronary artery disease (hardening of the arteries)
Heart attack

If obstructive sleep apnea is left untreated, risk of heart failure is extremely high.

Treat sleep apnea with the Pillar Procedure! Minimally invasive, the Pillar Procedure in NYC only takes twenty minutes, but delivers long lasting effects with no downtime. The procedure places small implants, less than an inch in length, into soft palate tissues. The implants are not visible, cannot be felt, and won’t interfere with swallowing or speech. Some patients report having results from the Pillar Procedure in New York as early as a few weeks; however, sometimes it can take up-to three months to see the full results.

The results of the Pillar Procedure are well worth the wait! Patients notice a significant decrease in snoring intensity, leading to a more satisfying sleep. A noticeable decrease in the patient’s hypopnea index will also occur, helping to improve the functions of the heart.

Sleep better and take care of your heart by having the Pillar Procedure in NYC! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and the Pillar Procedure.

Extraction of Wisdom Teeth in NYC Helps Prevent Periodontal Disease

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:54:10 +0000

Have you been considering wisdom tooth removal in NYC? A recent study in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery titled “Removal of Symptomatic Third Molars May Improve Periodontal Status of Remaining Dentition” found patients with mild pericoronitis who had their third molars extracted showed improved periodontal health after extraction.

Wisdom teeth extraction has fallen victim to controversy for decades with the ultimate question; should they stay or should they go? There is little risk associated with the removal of third molars; however, allowing wisdom teeth to remain in your mouth will not only increase your risk for periodontal disease, but affect your smile.

Third molars have the potential to overcrowd adjacent teeth, and ruin the alignment of your smile. Prior orthodontic treatments may be reversed as a result of erupted or impacted wisdom teeth. The overcrowding of your teeth can make it harder to maintain your smile, resulting in a decline of oral hygiene.

Since third molars are further back in one’s mouth, they do not always receive the necessary amount of maintenance, and are more susceptible to decay. The bacteria accumulated between the second and third molars can cause significant damage to neighboring teeth and gums, resulting in periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease is the chronic inflammation of the gums because of bacteria growing in the tissue of supporting teeth. Symptoms of periodontal disease include bad breath, receding gum lines, and loose teeth. Periodontal disease has also been linked to heart disease, diabetes complications, and pregnancy difficulties, including low birth weights. This painful disease is reversible with proper dental care, but can help be prevented by extracting wisdom teeth.

Avoid periodontal disease and other complications by considering wisdom tooth extraction in NYC! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about wisdom teeth extraction in NYC. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request your appointment online today!

Do you have a spooky smile? Are you unable to appreciate Halloween sweets because of dentures? Enjoy more treats this Halloween when you invest in dental implants! Whether you’re missing teeth, or ready to replace your dentures, our NYC Oral Surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Dental Implant Center, has a solution to improve your smile and enjoy a hassle-free Halloween! Have you been trying to decide between dentures or dental implants in New York to replace your missing tooth/teeth?

With dentures, you are unable to crunch into candy apples, chew on Tootsie Rolls, or devour that peanut bar. Dentures are known to shift and click during eating and talking. These uncomfortable fixtures require pastes and powders to be kept in place and reduce shifting, but still cannot withstand certain chewy, sticky foods. Besides the need for pastes and powders, dentures can also cause damage to adjoining teeth because of supporting bridgework, requiring extensive work, and a specialized diet to keep additional dental work in place. Luckily, our NY oral surgeon, Dr. Stein, has an alternative!

Unlike dentures, dental implants in New York will allow you to enjoy all the treats of Halloween, no tricks involved! Dental implants are hassle-free, not only do they look and feel like your natural teeth, they fit securely and help preserve your healthy, adjoining teeth.

Are you ready to crunch into a candy apple? Dr. Mark Stein can help you enjoy those sweet treats again with Dental Implants in NYC. To learn more about dental implants, contact us at 212.888.4760, or schedule an appointment online.

Teeth In An Hour™: A Fast Alternative to Dental Implants in NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:27:47 +0000

Have you been considering dental implants, but feel you don’t have the time to dedicate to the procedure? Traditional dental implants require many visits to your oral surgeon, and can take months to acquire the final result. Typically, patients must wait 3-6 months in order to allow the implants to bond securely to the jawbone. After the long wait, your surgeon will uncover the implants and attach small posts that will serve as healing abutments until the final replacement teeth are made. This long process isn’t always the best solution for your smile, especially when you need to see results FAST. NY Oral Surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, offers Teeth In An Hour to eliminate the time consuming process of traditional implants!

The Teeth In An Hour procedure combines advanced surgical techniques with computer technology. Precise planning by our NYC Oral Surgeon with the help of CT scans and a surgical template ensure exact positioning of your implants before the procedure begins. Unlike traditional implants, the implants fit exactly into the surgical sites prepared for them, resulting in no need for healing time before the replacement teeth are put into the posts. The procedure is available for a single tooth replacement, or multiple replacements.

Candidates for Teeth In An Hour must have enough jawbone density to have the procedure performed, and in some cases extractions may be performed before having implants placed. Similar to dental implants, Teeth In An Hour look and feel like natural teeth. The fast procedure fits implants securely into your mouth and allows you to eat practically any foods! Teeth In An Hour is virtually painless and allows you to resume normal activities almost immediately; it requires no flaps or stitching. Plus, the procedure is finished in less than an hour!

Single Tooth Jaw Bone Graft Allows For Dental Implants in NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 18:26:06 +0000

Statistics have shown that 69% of adults have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. In time, when a tooth is lost or extracted, if nothing was put in place of the removed or lost tooth, the body will remold bone over the missing tooth area and create a thinner ridge of jawbone, making it harder to put a dental implant in place of the extracted tooth.

Oftentimes, your Oral Surgeon in NY will recommend having a single jawbone grafting procedure completed at the time of tooth extraction to prevent the jawbone from morphing and losing density for future implant. NYC Oral Surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, offers Jawbone grafting in NYC to replace the lost bone density to place a single dental implant.

Jawbone grafting requires bone, either synthetic or sterilized cadaver, to be placed in the empty area. The procedure is an advanced, effective and safe way to promote growth in the jawbone. The jawbone grafting procedure is similar to having a tooth removed. The discomfort, post-operative, is minimal. It takes 3-4 months for the bone to fuse to your jawbone and for the membrane to cover over the bone, once healing is completed, a dental implant can be placed.

After regrowth, a dental implant in NYC can be placed in the empty spot. Dental implants look and feel like a natural tooth, allow you to eat any type of food, preserve facial structure, do not hinder your ability to speak clearly, and let you smile with confidence! Unlike dentures, dental implants do not shift or click during eating or talking. Dentures also require heavy maintenance, including removal at night, pastes and powders, and specific dietary choices. Dental implants are also a superior choice to bridgework, which damage adjoining teeth, and require a specific dietary choices..

Are you missing a tooth or been turned down for dental implants in the past? Dr. Mark Stein can help repair your smile with Jawbone Grafting in New York.

Minimally Invasive Wisdom Tooth Extraction in NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:52:48 +0000

The beginning of summer means the end of school. As the breaking of the beach waves and the outdoor celebrations replace school bells and books, your child celebrates more free time! Why not put some of the free time to use and schedule your child’s appointment for a wisdom tooth consultation? Removing wisdom teeth in NYC before they cause problems is a proactive approach to dental health.

The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) recommends 17-25 year olds have their third molars evaluated by an oral surgeon in New York to decide if surgery is needed. While an impacted wisdom tooth may not be causing pain, it creates a risk to cause problems.

In fact, wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars are hard to reach for maintenance because they are so far back in your mouth. They are prone to infection because the third molars are more likely to have trapped food particles, plaque, and debris that can cause tooth decay.

Deciding not to have your wisdom teeth removed can also shift the alignment of the rest of your teeth, changing your smile and possibly causing the need for other dental work from causing damage to neighboring teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction in New York City is often the easier solution for long term health.

According to the AAOMS, eighty percent of young adult subjects who retained previously healthy wisdom teeth had developed problems within seven years. The cost of maintaining retained wisdom teeth over a lifetime can be more than the cost of wisdom tooth extraction in NY. Keeping wisdom teeth can also increase the risk for broader conditions, including cardiovascular disease.

Wisdom tooth extraction in New York at a younger age is a less invasive/complex procedure. Healing is faster as a younger individual and problems from impacted wisdom teeth including infection, cysts, gum disease, bone loss, decay, and swelling don’t have time to develop.

If you take the “wait and see” approach with your wisdom teeth, you may be borrowing trouble. Besides the extra time spent getting regular checkups on the progression of your wisdom teeth in NYC, surgery in older patients can have a longer recovery time and more complications.

Use your wisdom and call Dr. Mark Stein at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to schedule a consult and decide what your best choice is for wisdom tooth removal. Call 212-888-4760 or schedule an appointment online today!

Get Scoop on Sinus Lift Surgery in NY

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:46:54 +0000

Tired of going each summer missing teeth and unable to get implants because your upper jaw doesn’t have enough bone? Are you struggling with missing teeth? Do you miss out on your favorite foods or have to hide your smile because of embarrassment? Have you been told in the past your sinus membrane is too close to the upper jaw for implants? Don’t let your missing teeth hold you back any longer. Sinus lift Surgery in NYC is your solution. At New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein can perform a sinus lift to create an anchor for the future implants. He can also move your sinus membrane upward to create enough space.

When a tooth is missing in the mouth, the teeth around it can collapse. Unfortunately, the missing tooth can cause a loss in jawbone density. Jawbone deterioration can also occur with periodontal disease, the bacteria eats away at the tissue and eventually damages the jaw bone. Misalignments of the jaw can cause a loss as well.

A sinus lift in New York is performed with a small incision to the jawbone, giving access to lift the sinus membrane on the other side of the window. Dr. Stein uses a bone graft to create the anchor. After about 6 to 9 months, the patient can receive a dental implant in NY with sufficient jaw bone density. The long wait gives time for growth and for strength to be gained. Increased strength, decreases the chances of dental implants in NY needing to be replaced.

Dr. Mark Stein, NY oral surgeon, is one of the few oral surgeons in the country to use INFUSE®, an advanced new jawbone grafting material that uses a special protein to promote jawbone growth. The INFUSE® system prevents the need to harvest bone from another location in the body. With the elimination of this step, the patient is exposed to less anesthesia. The complications of the sinus lift surgery are also decreased because one less incision is being made (no bone removal). Dr. Stein may also use the patient’s own blood to assist healing.

It’ll be worth the wait for your dental implants. They will look natural, be a permanent solution, and they’ll prevent jawbone erosion. At New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein and his staff look forward to meeting all your sinus lift surgery needs.

Revive your Smile with Dental Implants in NY

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:52:03 +0000

Let your smile shine through the rainy days of spring with dental implants in NY! Sprout new life into your smile and talk to oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein about the more permanent solution to tooth loss today!

Loss of teeth can occur from a variety of reasons, including trauma, injury, age, and poor dental hygiene. As a result, many patients turn to dentures and removal bridges. However, patients seeking a more permanent, natural looking way to replace missing teeth should consider dental implants in New York. Unlike traditional methods of short-term smile restoration, dental implants provide a lifetime of strong, stable teeth that function and look like your natural pearly whites! So, what exactly are dental implants, and why have they become favorable over the years among both patients and dentists?

Dental implants are small titanium screws that are placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. These screws provide a secure foundation for artificial teeth and more importantly, prevent jawbone deterioration. In fact, one of the reasons dental implants have grown so popular over the years is because they possess many benefits other forms of restoration lack. These benefits include:

Preserved facial structure
Prevention of jawbone deterioration
Permanent restoration
Natural looking
Continuance of enjoying virtually any food
Maintained confidence in your smile
Prevention of gum erosion
Preservation of adjoining, healthy teeth

While many patients find they are candidates of dental implants in NY, some individuals may be told they do not qualify due to insufficient jawbone density. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Center, Dr. Stein goes beyond to help patients qualify for their permanent smile restoration, offering jawbone restoration in NYC. If you desire dental implants, but were told you do not qualify, talk to Dr. Stein about the Infuse Jaw Bone Graft. Learn more about jawbone grafting for dental implants in NY!

Sprout beautiful teeth this spring season thanks to dental implants. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Center, Dr. Mark Stein and our staff welcome any questions you may have about dental implants in New York. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request an appointment online today!

Jawbone Grafting New York

Restore You Smile With Jaw Bone Regeneration in NYC!

new-york-oral-surgery — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:35:53 +0000

A healthy smile is often associated with good physical health and youth. As we age, maintaining a beautiful smile becomes increasingly challenging. Lifestyle choices such as smoking, health burdens such as diabetes, and trauma or injury can cause an unexpected tooth loss. Unfortunately, many of us fail to recognize how imperative replacing missing teeth is.

When empty spaces are left in the gum line, jawbone weakens. Weak jawbone can lead to widespread tooth loss, teeth that collapse inward, and weaken facial structure. Patients with weakened jawbone may also find they are ineligible for permanent dental restorations, such as dental implants. Restoring lost or weak jawbone, however, is not impossible. Thanks to the sophistication of modern medicine, researchers and doctors have developed bone regeneration of the jaw using less invasive and natural techniques.

Traditionally, oral surgeons would increase bone density with bone transplants by using a patient’s own bone from the hip or other parts of the body. Advances in dentistry however, now allow our NY Oral Surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, to regenerate jawbone using Bone Morphogenetic Protein in NY. Bone Morphogenetic Protein allows patients to grow new bone cells within a specific jaw location. This technology eliminates the need for a donor site, making Dental Bone Grafting less invasive with less recovery time. As one of the innovators of Bone Morphogenetic Protein, Dr. Stein has inimitable experience when it comes to jawbone grafting at his NYC office. In addition to BMP, Dr. Stein also offers the Infuse Jaw Bone Graft.

FDA approved Infuse Bone Grafting of the jaw in NYC stimulates the production of bone using a recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2). This protein is normally found in the body and encourages improved healing compared to artificial bone.

In addition to strengthening the jaw, a jawbone graft can also be performed to widen the jaw, or to create more space when patients have insufficient bone between the upper jaw and sinuses. If the mouth is not wide enough, Dr. Stein may perform a ridge expansion to widen the mandible. When patients display inadequate bone between the jaw and the sinuses, sinus lift surgery in NY is usually recommended.

Smile strong and gorgeously thanks to dental jawbone grafting in New York! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about bone regeneration in NYC. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request your appointment online today!

Stop Snoring with the Pillar Procedure in NYC!

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:54:15 +0000

Do you find yourself losing sleep trying to catch some Z’s next to a loved one who snores? You can nudge your partner in hopes that they’ll slightly wake and stop snoring long enough for you to fall asleep, but the real problem will still remain. While many of us like to poke fun at our loved ones falling asleep and snoring loudly in front of the television during a quick nap, many do not realize that snoring can actually lead to serious medical conditions.

While snoring seems harmless, it can actually be a sign of a more serious condition, sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when the soft palate tissue at the back of the throat relaxes too much during sleep. When the soft palate becomes too restful, it causes vibrations in the tissues that lead to a snoring sound. There are two different types of sleep apnea, Obstructive and Central.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Narrowing of the airway is very dangerous, and if serious enough, can eventually lead to obstructive sleep apnea. During obstructive sleep apnea, the soft palate can collapse into the throat, partially or totally blocking the airway. When this happens, breathing comes to a halt until you re-awake. Often times however, you will not even realize you are waking up repeatedly throughout the night due to obstruction of your airway. Since your brain and body are not receiving sufficient oxygen, if left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to significant health issues, such as fatigue, heart problems, hypertension, even stroke.

Central Sleep Apnea: Unlike obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea means breathing is disrupted regularly during sleep because the brain does not signal your body to breath. While central sleep apnea can affect anyone, it is more common in people who have certain medical conditions or who are on certain medications. In addition, central sleep apnea can occur alone, or in conjunction with obstructive sleep apnea.

At the New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of New York, our NY oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, has helped patients breathe easy with the innovative pillar procedure. The Pillar Procedure can treat chronic snoring, as well as mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Performed in as little as twenty minutes, the Pillar Procedure is non-invasive and designed to provide long lasting relief.

During the Pillar Procedure in NYC, Dr. Stein will place three small implants inside your soft palate tissue. These implants add structural support to help stiffen the soft palate. Over time, your body will naturally form tissue around these implants, adding stability to the soft palate and preventing it from becoming too relaxed. The Pillar Procedure in NYC can be done using mild anesthesia and takes about 20 minutes to complete.

Enjoy a soundless sleep, and take control of your health with the Pillar Procedure! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and the Pillar Procedure in NYC. You may contact our office at 212.888.4760, or you may request an appointment online for your personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Prepare for a Beautiful Smile with Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:00:46 +0000

Prepare your smile for the New Year! If you’ve been putting off revamping your smile until after the holiday season, then it’s time to start now! A new smile cannot only help restore confidence, it can help create one of the most valuable assets to re-establishing a strong facial structure. Many times however, older patients may fail to believe they are candidates for a beautiful smile. Although certain conditions of the teeth, jaw, and gums may cause restoration to seem beyond hope, NY Oral Surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein helps patients understand their options when it comes to renewal of a beautiful smile.

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, one-fourth of U.S. adults over the age of 65 are completely toothless. Tooth loss can occur due to a variety of reasons. One of the most common causes of tooth loss results from poor oral hygiene. In addition, lifestyle choices, such as smoking and poor nutrition can also lead to missing teeth.

When tooth loss becomes too severe for other methods of dental restoration to handle, patients may turn to dentures for help in achieving a renewed smile. Dentures not only help you restore confidence, they can add facial volume for a younger looking appearance. In addition, dentures help patients regain chewing ability and pronunciation improvement that may have been lost as a result of missing teeth.

Before opting for dentures however, your gums may require revision to help ensure proper placement of your new set of pearly whites. Specializing in Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in NYC Dr. Stein will ensure your dentures fit properly, for maximized effectiveness and comfort. Pre-Prosethetic Surgery includes removing excess bone, reshaping and smoothing bone, removing excess gum tissue, bone ridge reduction, and exposing any impacted teeth.

Often times, when patients have teeth removed, the bone ridge becomes sharp and uneven. In addition, if there is an impacted tooth beneath the gum, removal may be required in order to prevent your dentures from fitting improperly. Because dentures sit on the bone ridge, it is important that the bone is the proper shape and size. Pre-Prostetic surgery allows us to shape and smooth bone to ensure dentures fit securely, comfortably, and safely.

Enjoy Holiday Foods Again with a Sinus Lift in NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 09:30:08 +0000

Will you have trouble enjoying your favorite holiday treats this season due to a lost or missing tooth? Tooth loss not only makes it hard to eat your favorite foods, it can have a significant impact on your jaw.

When a tooth becomes absent in the mouth, surrounding teeth can collapse inward to where the missing molar once resided. This not only causes misalignment of the jaw, it can lead to a loss of bone density. Although a lost tooth is one of the most common instances that leads to weak jawbone, the structure of the jaw may also be negatively affected by other conditions, including trauma, infection, gum disease, surgery, and congenital defects.

Patients who experience tooth loss often choose to opt for dental implants. Unfortunately, many patients may not believe they qualify for dental implants due to low jawbone density or their sinuses being too close to the jaw. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Center, Dr. Mark Stein can help you qualify for dental implants with jawbone grafting & sinus lift in NYC.

Once bone density is lost, it is crucial to talk to your oral surgeon in New York to help regain jawbone. Lost jawbone not only makes qualifying for dental treatments difficult, it can have an effect on your appearance, creating a hollow facial structure, older appearance, and misaligned teeth. Luckily, however, you can regain lost jawbone density with a dental bone graft in NYC.

When performing jawbone grafting in NYC, Dr. Stein can take your own bone from other areas if the mouth or body and insert it into the less dense area of the jaw. Similarly, patients can choose their new bone to come from artificial cadaver bone or Bone Morphogenic Protein, also known as BMP. BMP is a natural protein that stimulates bone growth and eliminates the need for a bone harvesting procedure. Although bone grafting allows us to provide secure placement of dental implants, some patients may discover that there is not enough room within the jaw to support these grafts. In these instances, Dr. Stein can perform a sinus lift in NYC.

During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is lifted upward. Consequently, enough space is created for bone grafts to grow. Using advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Stein gently moves the sinus membrane away from the jawbone, creating space for the bone graft to take place. One the graft is positioned into the jaw and heals, secure placement of your dental implants in New York may take place.

Keep your smile healthy and get back to enjoying your favorite foods! Learn more about sinus lift in NYC & talk to Dr. Stein about your dental implants today. Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about bone grafting or sinus lift in NYC.

Get Your Smile Back with Temporary Anchorage Devices in NY

new-york-oral-surgery — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 15:17:00 +0000

The smell of pumpkin spice melts the air and vibrant leaves drift to the ground, signifying autumn’s arrival. As store shelves fill with Halloween candy, it won’t be long before families gather for the upcoming holiday season. As this time of year approaches, sweet treats and tempting foods tease us to dig in, but if you’re embarrassed by your smile, eating in front of others can evoke uncomforting emotions. These feelings can be brought on by missing teeth or misaligned teeth and often times, patients do not realize the amount of treatment options available for correcting these problems. At New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, our oral surgeon in New York, Dr. Mark Stein, offers several corrective solutions, including temporary anchorage devices, to assist you in achieving a rejuvenated, healthy smile.

According to Dentistry Today, over 5 million people lose teeth each year. This loss can be due to a variety of factors, including age, improper care, and trauma. Many patients however, do not realize how crucial it is to visit their oral surgeon after tooth loss in order to prevent further problems, including loss of bone density and shifting of teeth. When left untreated, the jaw may misalign and teeth may collapse inward, preventing further orthodontic treatments that may be necessary to correct your smile. Temporary anchorage devices in NY, allow for easy realignment of teeth when teeth shift out of their correct position. This minimally invasive approach affixes temporary small screws into the jaw or roof of the mouth to provide anchorage for orthodontic treatments such as dental bridges or dental implants in NYCOnce teeth are moved into their correct position, dental implants or dental bridges are easily affixed, giving you back your full smile!

Wisdom Tooth Extractions NY: Thank Your Ancestors!

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:45:00 +0000

Third molars can prove an asset to the mouth when properly aligned, however, the jaw cannot always support the growth of these teeth. This can result in pain, infection, and nerve damage. If left untreated, wisdom teeth can impair other teeth, cause chronic sore throats, and instigate the growth of cysts and tumors.

So, what are wisdom teeth, and why are they so troublesome? The fact is, most people must have their wisdom teeth removed. These teeth are believed to have helped our early ancestors chew rough foods. As evolution went on however, human jaws became smaller, resulting in minimal room for wisdom teeth to grow. Today, this challenge results in wisdom tooth extractions in NY.

The wisdom teeth are the last to emerge between ages 17 and 25. They can become impacted or erupted and even without pain, may need to be extracted. A wisdom tooth is considered impacted when still beneath the gum. If the tooth, however, is fully broken through the gum, it is considered erupted. No matter the state of your wisdom teeth, Dr. Stein will fully evaluate your situation to ensure safe removal.

At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, wisdom tooth extractions in NY are less painful and easier than ever. Advances in medicine allow minimally invasive wisdom tooth extractions in NY. Using the smallest incision possible, Dr. Mark Stein injects anti-swelling medication directly into the surgical site, reducing post op swelling and pain. With such progress in dentistry, what better time is there to consider oral surgery in NY? Learn more about wisdom teeth extractions:

Dental Implant Surgery NYC: Getting Older Doesn’t Have to Mean Getting Dentures!

new-york-oral-surgery — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:27:00 +0000

As the generation of baby boomers age, the need for dental care rises. Teeth can erode and darken from years of enjoying our favorite foods and drinks, missed cleanings, and even pregnancy and smoking. If you find yourself coming of the age to consider dentures, explore other options at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center. Dentures may bring your youthful appearance back to life, but they require harsh maintenance, including soaking and sticky, uncomfortable creams to keep them in place. Now, you can consider a more permanent solution with dental implant surgery in NYC.

Unlike traditional tooth replacements, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, fit securely, and can help preserve facial structure. Dental implants can even conserve healthy teeth, so you can continue to eat your favorite foods.

Dental Implants in NYC are secured in your mouth by placing a small titanium screw into the jawbone at the area of missing teeth, providing an anchorage for artificial teeth. This method allows bondage between the bone and implant, creating a strong and stable foundation. Small posts are then attached to the implants, and the artificial teeth are placed on top. This preserves adjoining teeth and helps prevent further gum and bone deterioration. With options such as jaw bone grafting in NY, most patients can find that they do qualify for dental implant surgery and can avoid the unreliability and discomfort of dentures.

Jawbone Grafting New York: When Jaw Bone Weakens

new-york-oral-surgery — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 14:50:00 +0000

Are you missing several teeth? Have you experienced infection, trauma, gum disease, or had any type of surgery done in your mouth? If so, your jawbone may be weaker than you think. Bone in the jaw can deteriorate over time and become a problem for those seeking dental implants. Dental implants need sufficient bone to hold them in place, and without a strong jaw, this becomes futile. Put all your worries aside however, because Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M. D. has the answer for you. At New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Stein performs Bone Grafting in New York. By taking excess bone and embedding it into the jaw, you can regain full strength to your mouth.

So where does this extra bone come from, and how does the procedure work? Well, bone can be taken from other places of the mouth, other areas of the body such as the hip, and in some circumstances, specially prepared cadaver bones, or synthetic bone. In addition to this, Board Certified Surgeon, Dr. Stein, may use INFUSE®, a new, advanced protein to promote bone growth. Dr. Stein is one of the first oral surgeons in the United States to use INFUSE®.

Other circumstances for considering Jaw Bone Graft in New York may include, when the jaw isn’t wide enough, or when there is insufficient bone between the upper jaw and sinuses. If the jaw is not wide enough, Dr. Stein may perform a ridge expansion to widen the jaw. When there is inadequate bone between the jaw and the sinuses, Dr. Stein may recommend Sinus Lift Surgery in NY.

We always hear how important strong, healthy bones are, but how often to you think about the bone in your mouth? Let Dr. Stein keep you smiling, so you can smile with the confidence of a strong, healthy mouth. To learn more about Bone Grafting in New York, contact us at 212.888.4760, or schedule an appointment online. Dr. Stein would be happy to discuss your options, so you can keep your pearly whites happy and healthy this summer.

new-york-oral-surgery — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:55:00 +0000

Some people say that if you are suffering sleep deprivation from a loved one’s nightly snores, to turn them on their side. Others say that simply closing their mouths, pinching their nose, or wearing breathing strips will quiet their snores. The problem with all of these solutions is that they aren’t actually solutions. Even if they happen to stop snoring in the moment, they aren’t actually fixing the cause of the snoring, which in many cases could actually be a symptom of a much more serious condition, known as obstructive sleep apnea. Fortunately, Dr. Mark Stein of New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides the Pillar Procedure in New York City, a snoring solution which can reduce snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea.

The Pillar Procedure in NY is a minimally invasive surgical procedure which inserts several tiny implants to stiffen the soft palate tissue in the back of the throat. This will reduce the vibrations which cause snoring and obstruct the airway during sleep apnea. This procedure is proven to reduce snoring intensity, decrease daytime sleepiness, and improve your lifestyle. The Pillar Procedure can be performed at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery using only local anesthesia. No downtime is required following surgery. Patients may return to their normal activities and diet the very same day as the procedure. Unlike other surgical solutions for snoring, the Pillar Procedure in NYC does not remove or damage any tissue, so patient discomfort is minimal, both during and following surgery. Any discomfort the patient does feel can be easily managed through over the counter pain medications. Patients may experience less snoring within a few weeks to three months, depending on the individual and will experience lasting relief from snoring as long as the implant remains in place.

Don’t continue to follow old wives’ tales while searching for a snoring and sleep apnea solution! The Pillar Procedure is the most advanced technique in dental surgery proven to lesson snoring and improve symptoms of sleep apnea. Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about the Pillar Procedure in New York. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Dental Implants NYC and Patient Care: A Day for Our Dentist

new-york-oral-surgery — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:42:00 +0000

March celebrates National Dentists Day on March 6^th every year, but what makes Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery different from any other oral surgery practice in New York is the care and attention he gives to every patient every day of the month. This relationship starts from the minute you call his office and extends through the surgery and to the phone call he makes the evening after your procedure. Over the past 15 years, he has been able to develop techniques that give him the ability to perform complicated surgical procedures with little to no operative discomfort, leading to a quick recovery. One of the many surgical procedures he provides at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is Dental Implants in New York City.

During the past 15 years, Dr. Mark Stein has placed over 5000 dental implants in NY, giving thousands of patients the ability to enjoy life and smile again. Dr. Stein has always been on the cutting edge of research and advancement in oral surgery. He incorporates these advancements into his practice, being one of the first in the United States to have an in office cone beam CT Scan. This machine allows Dr. Stein to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for dental implants in NYC with reduced radiation exposure to the patient and unprecedented precision.

In some cases, bone grafting and bone regeneration is necessary to build the bone density in the jaw before dental implants in New York can be performed. The times of taking bone from a patient’s hip or other body parts to restore lost bone in the mouth are long gone. Today, Dr. Stein is able to regenerate bone using the latest biological engineering called bone morphogenic protein in NY, which he was involved with studying and testing in its development stages. This space age technology allows the patient to grow bone where it was almost impossible to do so before. We can actually grow new bone cells in the specific location on the jaw that it’s needed for dental implants in NY. Using bone morphogenic protein in New York instead of traditional bone grafting eliminates the need for a donor site and makes the bone grafting procedure less invasive, involves less recovery time, and causes less risk during surgery. You can rest assured when you walk through our doors and trust Dr. Stein with the safety and beauty of your teeth that you’ll walk out with a healthier, brighter smile.

Celebrate National Dentists Day this March by maintaining excellent dental health because Dr. Mark Stein doesn’t need a specific day to care for you and your teeth. Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about dental implants in New York City. You can contact us at our current and future New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Regenerating the Field of Dental Implants with Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenic Protein

new-york-oral-surgery — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:03:00 +0000

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. of New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center was recently published in New York County Dental Society's 18^th volume of Dentists’ Quarterly for his article on the newest technology available to help bone grafting and dental implants, the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein in New York City. Dr. Stein’s article, “A New Approach to Reconstructing Difficult Maxillary Defect— Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenic Protein,” depicts an easier, less invasive, safer, and more efficient method of gaining enough bone support to anchor dental implants. Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) in NYC actually stimulates bone formation at the site in need of more bone support, circumventing the need for bone grafts in order to insert dental implants.

According to Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D., dental professionals are leaning away from removable dentures and towards permanent dental implants as the first method of choice in order to repair missing teeth. Some patients, however, lack the necessary bone density to make dental implants a viable option. Until recently, bone grafting in NY was the standard procedure to improve a person’s bone density and prepare their jaw for dental implants in NY. Bone grafting, however, involves harvesting bone from a donor location, such as another location on the mouth or the hip, and transferring the harvested bone to the jaw. After bone grafting, patients must wait 4 to 9 months for the grafting site to heal before they may receive implants. This process was necessary to enhance bone density and was the only means to achieve more bone tissue in the needed area. With the advent of bone morphogenic protein in NY, oral surgeons, such as Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D., can achieve more bone in the needed area by stimulating the bone itself to produce more bone cells.

Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein Bone Graft in New York City is comprised of two active ingredients: a manmade protein found naturally in the body and an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS). The protein stimulates the formation of new bone, and the absorbable collagen sponge regulates when the protein is released over a period of time. The absorbable collagen sponge also acts as a trellis on which the newly stimulated bone may form, grow, and take shape. Eventually, the body absorbs the ACS with actual bone. Using bone morphogenic protein in NY instead of traditional bone grafting in New York to increase bone density completely eliminates the need for donor bone from a donor site. This method provides patients with an easier, less invasive procedure to ready the mouth for dental implants in New York.

Mending Pieces of Your Heart from the Roots with Facial Trauma NYC

new-york-oral-surgery — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:49:00 +0000

Accidents which result in facial trauma in NYC often impact patients physically and emotionally. Depending on the individual injury, facial trauma can potentially affect a person’s vision, speaking, and swallowing. The patient’s physical appearance may also be affected depending on how the trauma is treated and how well the injuries heal. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. takes these variables into consideration during facial trauma repair in New York City to ensure the best possible outcome for your injured facial features, both functionally and aesthetically. Swift medical attention by an oral surgeon is extremely important after the emergency situation has been stabilized. Dr. Stein can treat a wide range of facial traumas, including facial lacerations, oral lacerations, broken and knocked-out teeth, facial bone fractures, broken noses, fractures to the cheekbones and eye sockets, and fractured jaws. An accident that involves facial trauma can be painful and distressing, but New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides the treatment needed to repair both the damage to your teeth and your peace of mind.

Patients who endure facial trauma in New York which involves knocked-out teeth can salvage their own tooth and potentially have it replanted into the mouth if specific steps are taken. Patients should pick the tooth up by the crown without touching the roots and place the entire tooth in salt water or milk to transport it. Never touch the tooth by the roots even if intending to wipe off dirt or clean the tooth. Touching the roots in any fashion may dislodge integral ligament structures necessary to successfully replanting the tooth. The roots are the key factor to preserving and mending a knocked out tooth with the original tooth. Call Dr. Stein as quickly as possible once the emergency situation which caused the facial trauma is handled, so your tooth can be replanted.

Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. performs such a wide variety of services for facial trauma in order to provide patients with the excellent care and latest techniques needed to treat their individual injuries. Facial lacerations, bone injuries, broken jaws, and knocked-out teeth are all treated differently, and New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides the necessary care for the many possibilities of facial trauma. Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff look forward to discussing any questions or concerns you may have about facial trauma. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Mucocele Removal in NYC is Common but Commonly Overlooked

new-york-oral-surgery — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:27:00 +0000

Approximately one of every five hundred people develop a mucocele at a given time. They are common and often painless and harmless, but in some cases, lesions or swelling in the mouth could potentially indicate a serious condition. Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. can examine and diagnose a mucocele in New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center. A common, typically harmless mucocele is a small, fluid-filled swelling in the mouth. They can be found on the inside of the lower lip, inside the cheek, and on the roof or floor of the mouth. These are usually painless if shallow, but the deeper the mucocele, the more painful and sore the mucocele may become. Also, the deeper the mucocele, the more likely the mucocele is to lead to permanent scar tissue if untreated. Even harmless mucocele can be uncomfortable, annoying, and interfere with speaking and eating. A mucocele in NYC should be examined by Dr. Stein at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center despite being commonly harmless; all cysts or swelling inside the mouth should always be diagnosed by a dentist to ensure the safety and health of your mouth.

Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. performs mucocele removal at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center. Patients who a mucocele, as well as any cyst or swelling inside the mouth, should be examined by a dentist. Mucoceles form due to blocked salivary glands. Saliva is important to the digestion process, helps protect teeth from decay, and keeps the mouth moist. If a salivary gland is damaged, commonly from lip biting, or blocked, a mucocele in NYC will form. Once Dr. Stein examines and diagnoses a mucocele in NY, tests may be administered depending on the patient’s history, size, and location of the lump. Dr. Stein will discuss what tests may be best for your individual mucocele. Tests could include an X-ray or extracting a sample which will be sent to a laboratory for further examination. If necessary, mucoceles are removed with a scalpel or laser. Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. and his staff encourage patients to express any questions or concerns you may have about mucocele and mucocele removal. You can contact us at our New York office at 212.888.4760, or you may make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Stein.

Take a Bite of the Easy Life

new-york-oral-surgery — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:04:00 +0000

At New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center, Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. offers orthognathic surgery in NYC, or jaw surgery, to correct the position of the jaw. A misaligned jaw can be the result of an injury, birth defect, or a discrepancy between the lower and upper jaw’s growth rates. Patients often suffer from chewing, biting, swallowing, and breathing difficulties, have speech problems, chronic jaw pain, chronic headaches, chronic dry mouth, or sleep apnea. Patients may also display telltale facial features which they would like corrected such as a protruding jaw, facial imbalance, a receding chin, or the inabilities to fully close the mouth. Dr. Stein uses the most advanced treatment options and surgical techniques at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center to provide lasting and satisfying results for all his patients, so whether your jaw misalignment was caused genetically or by an accident, Dr. Stein has the skill and experience to improve your jaw’s function and aesthetic appearance.

Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D performs orthognathic surgery in New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center.

Orthognathic Surgery in NYC can relieve patients of the painful symptoms, unsatisfying facial characteristics, and functional problems associated with a misaligned jaw, revealing a life which daily tasks are easier and less painful.

Orthognathic surgery in New York City is usually a collaborative effort between your oral surgeon in NY and an orthodontist. Together, they will reposition parts or all of your lower jaw, upper jaw, and chin. Braces may also be used both before and after the surgery in order to move your teeth into a more correct and attractive position in addition to correcting your jaw to improve the overall balance, appearance, and health of your mouth.
