The X-ray on the screen, the plan in your hand, the cost before you decide
Two things bring people to a new dentist: being talked into work they did not need, and a bill they did not expect. Dr. Mozner reviews your history, examines your teeth and gums, and walks you through your X-rays on the screen so you can see what he sees. You leave with a written plan and its cost, and the front desk has already checked your insurance.
Five repairs, done in this office
| Treatment | When it is the right fix | Materials and method |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth-colored fillings | Cavities and small fractures | Composite bonded to the tooth, matched to your enamel |
| Dental crowns | A cracked, worn or heavily filled tooth | Zirconia, including high-translucency Ivoclar; digital Dexis scan instead of putty molds |
| Dental bridges | One or more missing teeth with sound neighbors | Fixed replacement teeth anchored to the neighbors or to implants |
| Root canals | An infected nerve in a tooth worth saving | Rotary instruments; complex molar cases referred to a specialist and restored back here |
| Dental implants | A missing tooth, several teeth or a full arch | About 3,000 placed; CT-planned; single, bridge, All-on-4 and All-on-6 |
Dr. Mozner also fits custom night guards for TMJ and grinding, and refers severe joint cases to a specialist.
How Dr. Mozner chooses between a filling, a crown and an implant
The decision comes down to three things: how much healthy tooth is left, whether the nerve is alive, and whether the tooth is still there at all.
Enough tooth and a healthy nerve means a filling. A weak tooth or one that has had a root canal gets a crown. A tooth that is already gone is replaced with a bridge or an implant, and he explains why one fits your mouth better than the other.
About 3,000 implants placed, and taught at NYU
Dr. Mozner is clinical supervising faculty at NYU Dental School, teaching prosthodontics and implant dentistry to senior students. He has placed about 3,000 implants, plans each on an in-house CT scan, and is certified in bone and membrane grafting. Restorations are made from a digital Dexis scan, so no rubbery molds.
Painless repairs for nervous patients
Dr. Mozner uses a gentle injection technique, with nitrous oxide and conscious sedation available. Headphones, music and Netflix are there for longer visits. One patient wrote: "He explains everything in detail and does amazing work painlessly."
Most PPO plans accepted, CareCredit available
Insurance is checked before you sit down, so you know what you owe. Most PPO plans are accepted and CareCredit financing is available for larger plans such as implants. Care is available in English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian.
Frequently asked questions about restorative dentistry in Syosset
Filling or crown: how do I know which one I need?
It depends on how much healthy tooth remains. A small cavity or fracture takes a filling. A tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or weakened after a root canal needs a crown to hold it together.
Can a missing tooth be replaced?
Yes. A bridge anchors a replacement tooth to the neighbors or to implants, while an implant replaces the root as well and does not rely on other teeth. Dr. Mozner explains which suits your case and why.
What happens during a root canal?
The infected tissue inside the tooth is removed, the canal is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is covered with a crown so you keep it. Most are done here with rotary instruments; complex molars go to a specialist and come back here for the crown.
Do you treat TMJ and jaw pain?
Yes. Custom night guards relieve pressure on the joint, with jaw exercises and a soft diet where they help. Severe cases are referred to a specialist.
Will I know the cost before treatment?
Yes. Every plan is written, with its cost, before any treatment begins, and your insurance is checked in advance.
