Our Prosthodontic Services

Dental Implants

Our Manhattan team specializes in the planning, placement, and restoration of dental implants – from single tooth replacements to full-arch restorations. We utilize 3D imaging and digital planning to precisely position each implant for optimal aesthetics and function. The titanium implant post integrates with your jawbone, providing stability while preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction. Our implant restorations are custom-designed to match your natural appearance in color, shape, and size, creating a seamless result that can last a lifetime with proper care.

Crowns & Bridges

When damage occurs but teeth are not lost, our expertise shines through precision crown work. Using advanced digital scanning and custom shade-matching, we create dental crowns that protect weakened teeth while perfectly blending with your smile. For those who need to replace missing teeth, our dental bridges provide a non-surgical alternative to implants, supported by adjacent structures to fill gaps. We use the highest quality porcelain and zirconia materials recommended by the American College of Prosthodontists to ensure your restorations are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Meet Dr. Jin Sup Shin and Our Expert Team

At SmileWorks NYC, prosthodontic care is led by Dr. Jin Sup Shin. Dr. Shin combines technical precision with an artistic eye, ensuring that each restoration not only functions perfectly but also enhances the patient’s overall appearance. Her connection to New York University and collaboration with the Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics keeps her at the forefront of innovations.

As a clinical assistant professor at New York University College of Dentistry and member of the York Academy, Dr. Shin brings the latest techniques and materials to our Manhattan practice. Her approach begins with thorough diagnostics using 3D imaging and digital scanning, followed by detailed treatment planning that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term dental health, including prevention of gum disease.

Our entire staff works cohesively to provide comprehensive care, from initial consultation through treatment and long-term maintenance. Each team member is specially trained in prosthodontic needs, understanding the emotional impact of tooth loss or damage from past trauma. This empathetic approach helps patients feel comfortable throughout their care journey.

The Prosthodontic Treatment Process

Your prosthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, bite, and aesthetic goals. We use advanced 3D imaging technology to assess bone structure, plan treatments precisely, and show you potential results before treatment begins.

Treatment planning involves careful consideration of multiple factors, including your oral health status, lifestyle, and budget. We work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

Each phase of treatment is carefully coordinated to ensure optimal results. From initial preparation through final placement, we monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to achieve the best possible outcome.

What Are The Benefits of Prosthodontic Care?

Prosthodontic treatment offers numerous advantages that extend far beyond simple tooth replacement. Properly restored teeth improve your ability to chew effectively, which aids in digestion and overall nutrition. Clear speech returns when missing teeth are replaced, boosting confidence in social and professional interactions.

The structural support provided by prosthodontic treatments helps maintain facial height and prevents the sunken appearance that often develops with tooth loss. Within the first three months of tooth loss, you can lose up to 25% of the bone in that area, making timely treatment crucial for long-term oral health.

Quality prosthodontic care can also:

Restore proper bite alignment and jaw function
Prevent remaining teeth from shifting or becoming loose
Improve overall oral health by making cleaning easier
Enhance self-esteem and social confidence
Support facial muscles and maintain a youthful appearance

Who Needs Prosthodontic Treatment

Approximately 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, and about 40 million Americans are missing all of their teeth. Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures impact 120 million people in the United States, making prosthodontic care increasingly important.

Candidates for prosthodontic treatment include individuals with severely damaged teeth, those missing one or more teeth, and patients requiring full mouth reconstruction. Age is not a limiting factor—both young adults who have lost teeth due to trauma and older adults dealing with age-related dental problems can benefit from prosthodontic care.

Early consultation is important because bone loss occurs rapidly after tooth extraction. The sooner you replace missing teeth, the better the long-term prognosis for both the treatment and your overall oral health.

Don't let damaged or missing teeth affect your quality of life. Discover how our prosthodontic expertise can transform your smile and restore your confidence.
