If any issues are identified, patients are informed exactly what treatment involves, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. Follow-up frequency is generally twice per year, though it depends on the condition of a patient's teeth. ### [Dental Emergencies & Urgent Care](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/dental-emergencies-urgent-care) Core Smiles provides same-day emergency dental care for pain, cracked or broken teeth, infections, and other urgent dental needs. ### [Cosmetic Bonding](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/cosmetic-bonding) Composite bonding is a conservative and cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers. Using tooth-colored resin, the Core Smiles team can correct chips, cracks, stains, and minor gaps. It is a minimally invasive treatment often completed in a single appointment. ### [Porcelain Veneers](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/porcelain-veneers) Porcelain veneers are used to enhance the shape, volume, and color of teeth. They can also close spaces between teeth and improve bite function. Veneers are custom-crafted, thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. ### [Teeth Whitening](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/teeth-whitening) Core Smiles uses the Zoom Advanced Power whitening system and the KöR Deep Bleaching System for patients with tetracycline-stained teeth. Both systems are safe and effective — on average, patients can expect a three- to six-fold improvement in shade. ### [CEREC Same-Day Crowns](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/same-day-cerec-crowns) Core Smiles uses CEREC technology to design and mill custom ceramic crowns in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. ### [Root Canal Therapy](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/root-canal-therapy) Root canal treatment is offered to remove infected or damaged pulp tissue and preserve the natural tooth. ### [Fillings & Cracked Tooth Repair](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/fillings-cracked-tooth-repair) Tooth-colored composite fillings and cracked tooth repair services are available to restore both function and aesthetics. ### [Invisalign Clear Aligners](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/invisalign-clear-aligners) Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets. Because the treatment involves clear aligners, patients do not have to worry about the aesthetic concerns associated with traditional metal braces. Invisalign has been proven effective in clinical research when worn as directed. ### [OrthoFX Clear Aligners](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/clear-aligners-orthofx) OrthoFX clear aligners straighten teeth with just 12 hours of daily wear, offering a flexible, comfortable alternative to traditional full-time aligner systems. ### [3D Predict Aligners](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/3d-predict-aligners) Advanced aligner technology available at Core Smiles. ### [Digital Smile Design](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/digital-smile-design) Core Smiles offers Digital Smile Design, a computer imaging process that allows patients to visualize their final smile result before treatment begins. This technology enables highly personalized cosmetic planning. ### [Dental Implants](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/dental-implants) Dental implants are the preferred method to replace single or multiple missing teeth. By a process known as osseointegration, implants fuse with the surrounding bone to form a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or other implant prostheses. For patients missing all upper or lower teeth, implants can secure a denture or eliminate the need for a removable denture altogether. Dr. Gulizio, as a Prosthodontist, provides meticulous attention to detail, personalized treatment plans, and optimal implant placement for improved aesthetics and functionality. Using sophisticated 3D imaging technology, a dental implant can be placed in approximately one hour. After the implant procedure, a temporary restoration is fabricated so that patients never leave the clinic without a tooth. Dental implant costs in New York City depend on several factors, including the number of implants needed, bone quality, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting or full-arch reconstruction are required. ### [Fixed Implant Bridges](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/fixed-implant-bridges) Fixed bridges supported by dental implants, providing a non-removable tooth replacement solution. ### [Implant Overdentures](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/implant-overdentures) Implant-supported overdentures that provide improved stability compared to traditional removable dentures. ### [Teeth in a Day / All-on-4](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/teeth-in-a-day-all-on-4) For patients missing all or most teeth in an arch, the All-on-4 concept allows a full set of fixed teeth to be placed on just four implants in a single day. ### [Custom Dentures](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/custom-dentures) Core Smiles specializes in fabricating natural-looking, comfortable, and beautiful custom dentures. The fabrication process takes into account age, hair color, skin tone, eye color, lip support, and personality to create a denture that fits impeccably and looks incredibly natural. Dentures should not look artificial, nor should patients need adhesive to keep them in place. Dr. Gulizio is an esteemed expert in the art of fabricating custom-designed removable dentures, recognized as one of the best in the world in this field. He utilizes advanced techniques and the highest quality materials to create dentures that restore both function and aesthetics. ### [Laser Dentistry](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/laser-dentistry) Core Smiles employs advanced laser technology for a range of soft tissue and hard tissue dental procedures. Laser dentistry enables more precise treatment with reduced discomfort and faster healing. ### [Gum Tissue Depigmentation](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/gum-tissue-depigmentation) A laser treatment for patients with dark or discolored gum tissue. Core Smiles offers gum tissue depigmentation to achieve a more uniform, aesthetically pleasing gum color. ### [Fotona NightLase – Snoring Cessation Treatment](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/fotona-nightlase-snoring-cessation-treatment) Core Smiles offers NightLase, a non-invasive laser treatment for snoring. NightLase is a state-of-the-art, gentle laser treatment that significantly reduces or eliminates snoring by targeting throat and mouth tissue to stimulate collagen remodeling, leading to a tighter, more open airway. NightLase treatment uses laser energy to stimulate collagen in the soft palate and throat, effectively opening the airway and reducing snoring. Treatment typically involves three to five sessions over two months, each lasting approximately 20 minutes with no anesthesia required. Results can often be seen after the first session. The procedure is walk-in/walk-out — patients can talk, eat, and drink normally immediately after. Key benefits of NightLase: - Fast, safe, and effective - Minimally invasive and non-surgical - No anesthesia required - No downtime - Proven clinical results ### [Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/snoring-sleep-apnea-treatment) Snoring is the audible vibration of respiratory structures due to obstructed airflow during sleep. It is also the most frequent nocturnal symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a potentially life-threatening disorder that causes repetitive episodes of partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep. Core Smiles offers a careful and complete evaluation to determine the most effective treatment approach, including oral appliances and laser therapy. ### [TMJ Evaluation & Treatment](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/tmj-evaluation-treatment) TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint — the bone structure, muscles, and connective tissues surrounding the jaw that control chewing. Disorders of this joint are referred to as TMJ Dysfunction or TMJ Disease. The TMJ is one of the most complicated joints in the human body, capable of moving in three dimensions. Because of its complex movements, small issues can manifest into large problems quickly. In many cases, TMJ dysfunction is caused by a discrepancy between how the teeth fit together in a comfortable biting position and the orthopedically stable jaw position. This discrepancy causes jaw muscles to spasm or tighten, affecting the disc that cushions the lower jawbone against the skull. A resulting "click" is the lower jawbone jumping off the disc — a serious condition that can lead to arthritis and degenerative joint disease. Symptoms of TMJ disorder include: - Jaw pain or soreness - Ear pressure or pain - Headaches and migraines - Facial tension - Clicking or popping sounds - Bite discomfort - Neck aches - Vertigo and dizziness At Core Smiles, TMJ is treated as a neuromuscular and occlusal system disorder. Dr. Gulizio believes in a conservative, non-surgical approach. Treatment modalities may include: **Myofascial Release:** Gentle manipulation of muscles associated with the TMJ jaw joint, performed by a trained professional to help release muscle strain. Self-massage is not recommended, as the muscles implicated in TMJ pain are delicate and can worsen if incorrectly manipulated. **TMJ Bite Splint:** A removable appliance designed to release muscle strain and tension, resetting the jaw joint into the correct position within the skull. TMJ splints differ from nightguards — a nightguard only protects teeth from wear during clenching and grinding, while a TMJ splint is designed to correct joint position. Splint therapy requires monthly clinic visits for progress evaluation. **Neurotoxin Injections:** Neurotoxin injections may be used as part of a TMJ treatment plan to reduce muscle tension in the jaw. **Physical Therapy:** Dr. Gulizio typically advises all patients undergoing splint therapy to work with a physical therapist, as most TMJ disorders are highly correlated with muscle instability in the neck and mid-to-lower back regions. Insurance coverage for TMJ treatment varies by plan. At Core Smiles, the team can verify benefits, assist with pre-authorization, and supply documentation to help patients maximize coverage. ### [Photobiomodulation Therapy](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/photobiomodulation-therapy) Core Smiles offers photobiomodulation therapy — a light-based treatment used to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and manage pain. ### [Nightguards & Sports Mouthguards](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/nightguards-sports-mouthguards) Custom-fabricated nightguards are available to protect teeth during sleep for patients who clench or grind. Sports mouthguards are also fabricated for athletes seeking protection during contact activities. ### [Tooth Extractions](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/tooth-extractions) Core Smiles performs tooth extractions as needed, including routine and surgical extractions. ### [Neurotoxin Injections](https://www.coresmiles.com/treatments/neurotoxins) Neurotoxin injections for TMJ pain, jaw tension, and bruxism at Core Smiles. Non-surgical relief for chronic jaw pain and tension headaches. --- ## SPECIALTY PAGES - [CEREC Same-Day Crowns in New York City](https://www.coresmiles.com/pages/cerec-same-day-crowns-in-new-york-city): Get CEREC same-day crowns in NYC at Core Smiles.
