Dental Care Brooklyn, NY

Before any orthodontic treatment, your family dentist should make certain that all cavities have been treated and the health of your gums and underlying bone are free of periodontal disease. We recognize that cleaning your teeth with braces is a more difficult process; hence, your visits with your primary care dentist are extremely important in keeping your teeth and tissues healthy. During the course of your orthodontic treatment, we recommend you visit your dentist every 4 to 6 months or more frequently, if your Orthodontists Brooklyn advises, for cleanings and exams. As part of your customized treatment plan, Dr. King may prescribe the extraction of one or more teeth. Your family dentist or an oral surgeon may perform these extractions.

Some patients with severe bite problems may even need orthognathic surgery in addition to orthodontics. If orthognathic surgery or implants are needed, Dr. King will work closely with a number of advanced surgical teams and will refer you to a surgeon who can best meet your specific needs.
