Midtown Dental Care is an avid member of both the dental community, and the New York community. That is we are proud to mention that we have ties to the following associations/organizations: 

• New York State Dental Association
• ADA
• Academy of General Dentistry
• American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry 
• Invisalign Provider 

According to the American Dental Association standards, every individual should visit the dentist once every six months, or twice annually. This begins when a child has their first tooth, and lasts for their entire lifetime. It is very important to attend these appointments to ensure good dental health and minimize the chances of larger dental problems later. 

Each and every patient is different with a unique case. This means that, for some patients, Invisalign is the best choice. For other more complex cases, traditional braces may be the most effective dental solution. In order to find out whether traditional braces or Invisalign is best for you, give the professionals at Midtown Dental Care a call. We can discuss with you the advantages and disadvantages of each option, so you can feel confident in your choice. 

Cosmetic dental services work to improve the physical appearance of a patient’s smile. A patient’s smile can be enhanced with the following services: 

• Gum Lift
• Teeth Whitening
• Smile Makeover

The benefits of cosmetic dental services are vast. These services make a patient’s smile more appealing, which can then help to boost confidence and self-esteem. 

Yes! At Midtown Dental Care, we can provide comprehensive dental services for the entire family! It is important to start going to the dentist at a young age and ensuring that children learn  young that they should be visiting the dentist twice a year, brushing and flossing at least twice a day, etc.
