General Dentistry
Sometimes referred to as "immediate orthodontics," smile makeovers offer dramatic results with a minimal investment of time. Using crowns, dental implants, or natural-looking, tooth-colored porcelain veneers at his Bayside practice, Dr. Vitale can help you create a stand-out, light-up-the-room kind of smile. Smile makeovers can whiten, lengthen, and even straighten teeth. Whatever your concerns – chips, gaps, stains, mild crookedness – we can create a beautiful new smile in just two visits.
To learn more about how we can create dramatic new smiles through implants, crowns, porcelain veneers, and teeth whitening, Queens, Flushing, and other Bayside area residents are invited to contact us today.
Porcelain Veneers
For patients with stained, chipped, cracked, injured, or misaligned teeth, Dr. Vitale offers the option of natural-looking porcelain veneers at his Bayside dental practice. Dr. Vitale will customize your porcelain veneers so that they perfectly match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding natural teeth. Strong, durable, and highly resistant to staining, porcelain veneers are bonded to the fronts of your teeth, effectively concealing imperfections and restoring beauty to your smile. If desired, Dr. Vitale can combine the placement of your veneers with other procedures such as teeth whitening or can craft a full set of porcelain veneers as part of a smile makeover plan.

Crowns
In addition to porcelain veneers, Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa also offers the option of porcelain crowns to correct misshapen, misaligned, cracked, discolored, or otherwise damaged teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers, dental crowns are customized to cover the entire surface area of a tooth. As a result, dental crowns not only perform an aesthetic function but also reinforce weak or cracked teeth. To find out more about porcelain crowns, please contact Bayside Smile Design and Dental Spa to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Vitale.
Bridges
For patients who are missing one or more of their original teeth, Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa offers the option of natural looking, all-ceramic dental bridges. Comprised of one or more artificial teeth supported on either end by porcelain crowns, a dental bridge fills the gap where natural teeth are missing. Aside from improving your appearance and confidence, a dental bridge can correct speaking and chewing problems, as well as decrease strain when biting. Because Dr. Vitale will customize your bridge to fit securely in your mouth, you will have the confidence of knowing that it will not fall out or become loose. To learn more about our strong, comfortable, discreet dental bridges, please contact us today.
Inlays
Sometimes called "indirect" fillings, inlays and onlays offer a stronger, more durable alternative to traditional metal fillings. Crafted of tooth-colored porcelain, inlays are used to fill cavities while onlays cover the entire top surface of a damaged tooth. As with all services offered by Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa, you can expect that only the highest quality materials will be used in your inlays or onlays to ensure the most dependable, natural looking results.
General Dentistry
Dr. Vitale is proud to feature the advanced Zoom!™ teeth whitening system at Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa. By offering this revolutionary teeth whitening treatment to our Queens, Flushing, and Bayside area patients, we are able to produce dramatic results in a single office visit of about an hour. Indeed, most patients who undergo the Zoom!™ teeth whitening procedure leave our office with teeth that are between six and ten shades whiter, results that can last for years with proper care.
The safe, painless Zoom!™ teeth whitening procedure begins with the application of a specially formulated gel onto your teeth. When exposed to the Zoom!™ whitening lamp, this gel breaks down and penetrates the enamel of your teeth, removing or substantially lightening even such stubborn stains as those caused by tobacco, coffee, and soda. After an hour, the gel is removed, and a five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You will leave our office with the renewed confidence that only a whiter, more attractive smile can bring.
To learn more about Zoom!™ teeth whitening, Flushing, Queens, Little Neck, and other Bayside area residents are welcome to contact us at any time.
Cosmetic Fillings
As dental technology has progressed, unsightly, potentially dangerous mercury fillings have become outdated and unnecessary. At our state-of-the-art dental facility in Bayside, Dr. Vitale uses only mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings to repair teeth and correct injuries. The fillings, made of resin, ceramic, or porcelain, are bonded directly to your teeth and are much more natural-looking and comfortable than their metal counterparts. We also invite those patients who currently have metal fillings to contact Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa to find out how you can improve your oral health by upgrading to tooth-colored fillings.
Digital X-Rays
At Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa, we use only digital x-rays to evaluate your teeth and mouth. Although the risk of radiation damage from normal x-rays is small, digital x-rays reduce exposure by 90%, significantly enhancing your safety. To take a digital x-ray of your teeth, we insert a tiny camera into your mouth. The x-rays are then instantly transmitted to a computer screen, allowing Dr. Vitale to review them with you immediately. The crystal clear image afforded by digital technology will make it easier for you to understand your diagnosis and treatment options. Truly, digital x-rays help you to make more informed and confident decisions about your treatment.
Advanced Computer Imaging
If you are considering undergoing a cosmetic procedure such as teeth whitening or the placement of porcelain veneers, Bayside Smile Design & Dental Spa offers the opportunity to preview the expected results of the procedure through computer imaging. Using digital photos, we can show you what your smile will look like with porcelain veneers or after teeth whitening. Being able to see a picture of potential results can assist you in selecting the procedures that are right for you. Computer imaging is an exciting new tool that can help you to establish appropriate expectations and make having cosmetic dentistry even more fun.
