1,000 Hours!
Congratulations Dr. Lotardo
Dr. Salvatore Lotardo completed his 1,000th hour of continuing education credits last year. The New York State Department of Education requires dentists to complete a minimum of 75 hours every three years, but Dr. Lotardo’s devotion to advancing his knowledge and technical expertise has allowed him to far out achieve those standards.
In an effort to stay at the cutting edge of dental technology Dr. Lotardo feels he must continue on this path of education to provide his patients with the latest and best treatment options and outcomes. As a member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry he hopes to become an accredited members of both academies something very few dentists have attained. His commitment to the profession and his caring for patients makes us feel so comfortable referring our friends and family to the practice.

Case of the Month for October :D

" With proper understanding of the layering and shading of composites,
restorations can be blended seemlessly with the natural tooth"

case of the week (upon special request :D )

"Closing the space between your front teeth can be simple, painless and very natural looking."

F.A.Q and Answer :D

FAQ: Why do I need a crown? Can't you just fill it?

Answer-A tooth can only be filled so much before it becomes weak and can break or even fracture. If the cusp (pointy edge) of a tooth breaks, or the inside or outside surface of a tooth is broken, then a crown is the treatment of choice and the best long term option. A crown or "cap" covers the entire tooth and provides the best protection. Crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, or a combination of both. With todays advanced materials, we can make a crown entirely out of porcelain so it looks and feels just like a natural tooth.

"Canine Substitution: Some people are congenitally missing their permanent lateral incisors. One way to correct this is to move the canines into the lateral position and then bond the canines to look like laterals. The case of the month demonstrates bonded canines in the lateral position."
