Dental implants offer unparalleled stability for tooth restorations. While traditional options like removable dentures have to be taken out for cleaning each day, the crowns, bridges, or dentures that implants support remain firmly in place at all times. They allow you to eat and speak with natural function, and you’ll never have to be without a complete smile again. When you lose a tooth, the underlying jawbone naturally begins to deteriorate from a lack of stimulation from the tooth roots. This deterioration can cause additional dental health issues, like shifting teeth and further tooth loss. Because dental implants are embedded in the jawbone, they mimic the function of the tooth roots, keeping the jaw healthy and strong. They are the only tooth replacement option that offers this benefit.
A veneer is a thin porcelain shell that covers the front surface of your tooth. These shells are frequently used in cosmetic dentistry to cover up a range of cosmetic imperfections. Dentistry at The Heights, in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, offers both traditional and minimum-prep veneers made from top-grade porcelain to help patients achieve gorgeous-looking smiles. Depending on your unique needs and goals, Dr. Trotter may be able to create your porcelain veneers during one appointment at our Brooklyn Heights, NY, practice with our advanced, innovative CEREC® machine (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics). Or he can have them created by dental restoration artisans at an advanced dental laboratory.
Invisalign was a great step forward in the field of orthodontics; the development of the clear aligner trays offered a far more discreet and comfortable teeth straightening option than traditional metal braces. Using advanced computer technology, our dentists can design customized orthodontic aligners. These BPA-free plastic trays fit comfortably over the teeth, gradually bringing them into alignment.
Our patients in Brooklyn and the greater New York City area know that they have options when it comes to their restorative dentistry. It is our goal to provide you with the highest quality options. Dr. Trotter and the experienced team at Dentistry at The Heights will not only help you determine the best form of treatment but give you the attentive and compassionate care you deserve.

Custom dental crowns from Dentistry at the Heights can restore damaged teeth, renew your smile, and boost your self-confidence.

The pulp in the center of your tooth consists of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. This pulp can become infected when it comes into contact with bacteria due to a tooth being cracked or developing a deep cavity. Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp from within the tooth and root canals (the centers of the tooth roots), and preserving the exterior of the tooth. Without a root canal, tooth extraction would be the only solution. The good news is that you don't need to visit an endodontist (a dentist specializing in issues affecting dental pulp). Dr. Trotter and his team can perform a root canal safely, with virtually no discomfort, in the span of a single appointment at our office in Brooklyn.
Like its name implies, the primary goal of this cosmetic dentistry treatment is to improve the look of your smile. Our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kevin Trotter, will create a personalized treatment plan combining multiple dental procedures to help you achieve a smile you love. If you first require restorative treatments to treat gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues, we can provide that treatment in-office as well.
Dentures can be a good option for anyone who has experienced extensive tooth loss. Restoring your teeth can improve your ability to bite, chew, and speak. Dentures can also prevent any remaining teeth from wearing down or shifting position. Dentures are a restorative solution that supports your oral health. Dentures can support your facial structure, giving your mouth and cheeks a fuller appearance. However, it's important to remember that dentures won't completely change your look.
Unlike a smile makeover, a full mouth reconstruction is designed to restore function to your smile after extensive damage. New York City patients with a significant number of broken or missing teeth typically qualify for this treatment plan.
If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, you may not qualify for traditional dental implants due to significant bone loss in the jawbone. All-on-4 is an innovative procedure that replaces a full arch with an implant-supported denture attached to four strategically placed dental implant posts. Replacing missing teeth with All-on-4 allows you to enjoy the benefits of an implant-supported denture without the need for preparatory surgeries such as gum grafting or a sinus lift. With only four implant posts required, you can experience a reduced recovery time compared to conventional dental implant-supported dentures. Our dentists can provide this incredible dental implant procedure from the convenience of our Brooklyn Heights, NY dental practice.
