General Dentistry in Midtown Manhattan

General dentistry covers the care most people need over the years: regular checkups and cleanings, treatment for gum disease, and treatment for teeth that are infected or cannot be saved. Dr. Avner believes in conservative, preventive dentistry, so the goal is to find problems early and keep your natural teeth whenever that is possible.

The treatments in this group cover different needs:

• Checkups and cleanings include an exam, a professional cleaning, X-rays when needed and an oral cancer screening.
• Gum disease treatment treats inflamed or infected gums, often with a deep cleaning and follow-up visits.
• Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth so the tooth can be kept. A crown often follows.
• Tooth extraction removes a tooth that cannot be saved, such as a badly broken tooth or a problem wisdom tooth.
• Oral surgery covers the surgical procedures done at our office, such as complex extractions and implant placement. Some cases are referred to an oral surgeon.

We are open six days a week, including Sundays, with evening hours on Mondays and Thursdays, so regular visits are easier to fit around work.
