ViziLite Plus, Oral Cancer Detection at your Financial District Dentist

ViziLite Plus is an important device in the fight against oral cancer.

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases, but early detection is key to survival. ViziLite Plus is a tool used by Dr. Lloyd Becker at Maiden Lane Dental that identifies soft tissue abnormalities with light detection.  These absolutely painless, yearly exams are particularly important for those at increased risk for developing oral cancer.

The American Cancer Society recognizes tobacco (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and snuff) as the most common causes of oral cancer.  Those who combinetobacco use with heavy drinking are at increased risk.  Extensive exposure to the sun is also recognized as a cause of the disease on the lips.  If you or someone you know develops a lump or sore on the lips, throat or mouth that does not heal, call Maiden Lane Dental for a ViziLite exam. 

In this exam, Dr. Becker will begin by examining your mouth for any surface abnormalities.  Next, he will have you rinse with a solution, before scanning your mouth with ViziLite Plus.  The device will emit a light which will detect abnormalities and mark them with a blue dye.  This important appointment can save your life.

KöR Whitening with Dr. Becker at Maiden Lane Dental

The KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System is now at Maiden Lane Dental.  This cutting-edge whitening system is different from other whitening gels because it enables your teeth to absorb oxygen.  This approach to teeth whitening is less harsh than other gels, which is good news for anyone that has experienced the pain and sensitivity associated with older whitening products.  KöR actually produces low to no sensitivity. Studies found that the few patients that felt some sensitivity only felt 10% of the sensitivity they’d felt from other whitening gels, making this system the most comfortable whitening system available.

The process is easy, too.  First, Dr. Becker will take impressions of your teeth in order to create your own, unique KöR Whitening Trays.  These trays are comfortable not only because they are ultra-thin, but because the design locks in the bleach, which prevents the gel from leaking from the tray.  Simply wear the trays at night while you sleep for two weeks to reveal your whitest smile.

The result will be a smile that is a natural shade of white.  KöR offers results up to sixteen shades whiter with no worry of relapsing back to a darker shade.  This is true for coffee or red-wine drinker, too.  The trays are yours to keep for easy, periodic home maintenance, allowing your results to be permanent.

NYC Dentist for Cosmetic Dentistry

It's no surprise that the number one feature people notice most it your smile.  It says a lot about who you are, the level to which you care for yourself, and above all else, the amount of confidence you have.   Our smile is key to expressing our feelings to those around us.  If we walk into a room with a big grin on our face, others are immediately relaxed and happy to hear what’s on our mind.  Alternatively, if we walk into a room keeping our pearly whites hidden, then we become either a source of negative interest or are unnoticed altogether.  So, how do you enter a room?

If you shy away from showing your smile, then you may consider cosmetic dentistry with your NYC dentist.  Cosmetic Dentistry has come a long way in the last twenty years, and is more affordable than you think.  Whether you are interested in teeth whitening, vaneers, natural tooth colored filling, or dental implants, your Financial District dentist, Dr. Lloyd Becker can give you the smile you have always dreamed of at Maiden Lane Dental.

Lumineers with New York's Financial District Dentist

Dr. Becker can transform your entire appearance with Lumineers. 

Lumineers differ from traditional vaneers.  Commonly called "caps" or "crowns," traditional vaneers can be a painful and long process that is stretched out over many months.  Lumineers allow you to eliminate the multiple, timely office visits that traditional vaneers require.  

These ultra-thin, porcelain restoratives are smaller than a contact lens and are placed directly over your existing teeth.   Unlike traditional vaneers, Lumineers require no shots or drilling, making the process is absolutely painless. 

Lumineers offer the luxury of eliminating long and painful orthodontic treatments that require years of retainer wear long after the braces are removed.  Lumineers can be completed in just two office visits, so you can have the best smile of your life in no time at all with results that last for twenty years and remain permanently white.  They are even durable enough to have no food restrictions.
