Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates Of The North Shore. Many emergencies happen with dentures where they crack and can break and people can lose teeth.
Same Day Tooth Repair – Never Be Without Your Teeth!
Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates of the North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. After practicing for so many years, I have seen many denture-wearing patients and they come in with similar problems. Most patients are using dental adhesive today, which has been determined, if it has zinc in it, to be unhealthy for you, so there are zinc-free options to be utilized as well.
Other options available to you are the use of dental implants using conventional implants or mini dental implants to help stabilize dentures to make them comfortable and retentive in your mouth so you don’t have to use dental adhesive anymore and even getting rid of dentures altogether and making fixed bridges that are permanent with the use of dental implants as well.
Mini Dental Implants: Are They the Best Option For Stabilizing Your Dentures?
Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates of the North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset.
Many patients suffer from dental anxiety and the stress that going to the dentist brings. We have many options of treatment available to most patients that can alleviate those anxiety fears and make the patient most comfortable in the office during their dental procedures and even prior to coming to the dental office.
Does Anxiety Keep You From Getting the Dental Care You Need? Then Try Sedation…
Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates of the North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset.
Many questions come up about the use of dental implants if you have one tooth that’s missing or you have an accident and you break one tooth, you lose a tooth, a crown fails or a root canal-treated tooth has to be removed, etc.
Many Options Are Available to You for Immediate Tooth Replacement Utilizing Dental Implants
At Shine Dental Associates we always stress the importance of good oral hygiene to our patients. We have also noted for years the connection between periodontal disease and systemic illness.
We found a recent study about the connection between oral hygiene and cancer reported by
We suggest you read the study in its entirety so that you completely grasp the importance of practicing good oral hygiene at home, as well as being very diligent about scheduling and showing up for regular dental cleanings with our office.
…a study published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research reports that poor oral health, which includes dental problems and gum disease, is an independent risk factor for oral HPV infection, and by extension, could also contribute to oral cancers. The research team from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in Houston studied more 3,400 participants between the ages 30 to 69 who were part of the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The volunteers provided data on their oral health as well as on their HPV-infection status.
Those who reported poor oral health had a 56% higher rate of HPV infection than those whose mouths were healthy, and people who had gum disease and dental problems had a 51% higher risk of being infected with HPV than those who didn’t have these issues.

Board certified periodontist Dr. Vikas Mittle discusses how to treat periodontal disease to regain the health of your teeth and gums with home maintenance (brushing and flossing) as well as more aggressive treatments such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning).
How To Treat Receding Gums and Reverse Bone Loss
Hi, I’m Dr. Concetta Mangiaracina from Shine Dental Associates Of The North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. Over the years of practicing, patients have often asked the question, “How do I know if I need a root canal?”
Do You Need a Root Canal?
Maintaining your dental implants is very important not only to your overall health but also the long term stability of the implant. Peri implantitis can develop if plaque and tarter becomes lodged under the gum tissue. Peri implantitis is almost the same as periodontitis but rather than developing bone loss around teeth, you develop bone loss around implants. If you get bone loss around your implant, the implant can potentially become loose and falls out.
Are you scared of the dentist? Does that high pitch sound of the drill make you nervous of going to the dentist?
Don’t worry. It’s not just you. There are many people out there that are very nervous about getting dental treatment done.
Good News.You don’t have to be fearful of the dentist anymore! At Shine Dental in Syosset New York we make even the most nervous patients feel comfortable. With our state of the art, patient centric office, we make every patient feel at ease.
Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?
Patients often ask whether dental implants are covered by insurance. The answer is that it depends.
Many companies that provide dental insurance maintain that dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure and not “necessary” and, therefore, not covered. However, there are a few insurance providers that do cover implants to some extent. It just depends on your insurance carrier.
Another question we get asked frequently is whether a patient planning on having implants placed can switch from an insurance provider that does not cover implants to one that does.
Shine Dental Associates would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend.
We are all anxious and can’t wait to start the summer off with a bang. After Hurricane Sandy it would be nice to go out and enjoy the beach and boardwalk. Hopefully, parts of it got repaired and in time.

Do you know dental implants are the most popular service that dentistry has to offer! That’s because they are versatile and can be used in many different ways.
They can help stabilize dentures, replace missing teeth or even a full set of teeth.
Implants make it possible for you to smile with confidence once again. With implants as a replacement for dentures you will no longer need to deal with messy adhesives or glue. You know longer have to swallow the glue and get sick from it. No more gagging on dentures.
Sleep…. its the most important thing you do in your life! In fact, you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping. Proper sleep is very important for your health. Proper sleep allows you to have more energy, exercise more, increase in sexual libido and eat healthier. Lack of sleep can be detrimental to your health.
Sleep apnea is not having proper sleep in the middle of night. The airway gets obstructed and you wake up many times in the middle of the night resulting in poor sleep.

If you have loose teeth, if your gums bleed…this may be a serious problem because you may have periodontal disease, or bone loss around your teeth.
Bone is what stabilizes your teeth together and if your gums bleed you may have inflammation and bone destruction.
This is a very serious problem that can not only effect your teeth and possibly lead to complete loss of your teeth, but it can also have negative consequences for your overall health because there is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems, and more, as Board Certified Periodontist, Dr. Vikas Mittle explains in this video…
Treat Periodontal Disease Before You Lose Your Teeth!
The important thing to remember is to NOT let periodontal problems wait to be treated.
Treating periodontal issues is simple. Proper treatment of the gums can not only save your teeth but also improve your overall health and well being.
Periodontal treatment is pain-free. It does not require a long recovery time. In fact, you can receive periodontal treatment and then go to work the same day having to take Tylonol or Motrin for any discomfort.
You can receive a FREE complimentary consultation with Board Certified Periodontist, Dr. Vikas Mittle of Shine Dental Associates in Syosset by calling (516) 348-8500.
