PROCEDURES
• PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain Laminate Veneers have numerous advantages:
The natural tooth structure is preserved and the surrounding soft tissues remain untouched.
Individual teeth of dissimilar color and contour can now be matched.
Natural teeth weakened by root canal treatment and old fillings can now be strengthened by this process.
Permanent stains such as those caused by antibiotics administered during childhood can be completely masked.
Misaligned teeth can be corrected to produce a more perfect smile.
Fractured and trauma-damaged teeth can now be restored without the invasive tooth reduction necessary for full crown coverage.
Local anesthetics are often not required for this procedure.
Porcelain Veneers last longer than bleaching or bonding, porcelain laminate veneers have a life expectancy of 15 years. They are resistant to stains and chips, are extremely natural looking, and won't discolor over time.

For teeth that are lost or damaged beyond repair, dental implants can offer a permanent replacement that maintain the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. The titanium dental implants fuse with your bone and provide a permanent anchorage for a prosthetic reconstruction which looks and feels like a natural tooth.

New York cosmetic Dentist Dr. Jan Linhart provides the utmost in restorative dental care.

• iBraces
”Hide your braces, not your smile.” Dr. Linhart
Dr. Jan Linhart and Dr. Zaidi now offer an alternative to conventional braces that maintain the aesthetics of your smile. iBraces™ are a great solution as they mimic normal bracketed braces, but are not visible on the front of your teeth.
iBraces™ are custom made to each individual tooth and provide better comfort and performance. Your unique prescription as determined by Dr Zaidi is built into your iBraces™ so your teeth move in the most efficient manner possible. The wires are bent to a precise shape using robotic technology to ensure that you get the desired results.
• NATURAL RESTORATIONS
Dr. Jan Linhart, New York cosmetic dentist, uses a composite resin, a natural-looking, tooth-colored alternative to unsightly silver fillings. Silver amalgam fillings are outdated. Composite resin is a tough, plastic material that is simple to apply and virtually impossible to detect. Dr. Linhart tints the putty-like resin to precisely match the patient's natural tooth color. The color-matched resin is then packed into the tooth cavity and exposed to a special light that causes it to harden rapidly. The end result is a filling that looks so natural that only you and Dr. Linhart will know it's there. Dr. Linhart has performed thousands of these procedures with composite, tooth colored fillings. To restore new cavities, or replace old amalgam fillings, Dr. Linhart assures you that your teeth will look like new.
• PEARLINBRITETM
Dr. Linhart's practice in New York City whitens teeth by using specially formulated gels requiring activation from two lasers. Depending on the degree of previous staining, patients can expect a 9-10 shade-change in just one visit. PEARLINBRITETM takes about two hours and the advantages over other tooth whitening procedures are numerous:
PEARLINBRITETM speeds up the tooth whitening process, so that immediate results are achieved.
It is safe because the teeth are isolated and unnecessary sensitivity to the gum tissue is avoided.
Dr. Linhart can whiten one or two teeth adjacent to where other cosmetic dentistry has been performed.
It is much more effective than any other tooth whitening system.
• CROWNS AND BRIDGES
Some time ago, people with missing teeth, or structural tooth problems, like fractures or teeth severely damaged by decay, were subject to endless dental office visits and a mouthful of very unnatural looking and feeling teeth. We have advanced the science of crowns and bridges to provide solutions that remedy problems safely and restore a full, attractive smile.
When a tooth is fractured, has a large, old filling, or is severely damaged by decay, we may recommend the placement of a crown, or cap. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. Types of crowns include the full porcelain crown, the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and different variations of these. Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office.
• WATERLASE
Waterlase dentistry is a that combines laser energy and a spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures. The Waterlase system was approved for use in 1998. Since then millions of patients from around the world have benefited from Waterlase dentistry because of less need for shots, anesthesia, drills, and post-op numbness.
