Due for a cleaning? Your smile will thank you. ✨

A professional cleaning does what brushing and flossing alone can't. Our hygienists gently remove the plaque and tartar that build up over time, polish your enamel to a smooth shine, and check for early signs of cavities or gum disease, so small issues get caught before they become big ones.

It takes about 45 minutes, there's no downtime, and you'll leave with that just-left-the-dentist fresh feeling. We recommend a cleaning every six months to keep your smile its healthiest.

Just got over something? Grab a new toothbrush. 🪥

Germs can sit on bristles for days, and a brush that has been through a week of illness is usually past its best anyway. A few dollars for a clean start is an easy trade.

It matters most if you share a toothbrush holder, if you had a cold sore or an infection in your mouth, or if you are immunocompromised. In those cases, swap it out.

Otherwise the baseline still applies: a new brush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles look frayed or matted.

Straight teeth, without the metal. 🦷

Clear aligners work through a series of custom trays that shift your teeth a little at a time. You wear them about 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out to eat and brush. No brackets, no wires, no adjusting your life around them.

They handle more than people expect. The cases on our site include crowding, rotated teeth, gaps between the front teeth, and bites that were not meeting properly.

The first step is a scan and a conversation about whether aligners are the right fit for your teeth. Sometimes they are not, and we will tell you that too.

Be honest: how long do you actually brush? 🪥

Most people clock in somewhere between 45 and 70 seconds. The recommendation is two to three minutes, twice a day. That gap is where plaque quietly builds up along the gumline and between teeth.

The fix is not brushing harder. It is brushing longer. Set a timer, use an electric brush with a built-in one, or just pick a song and go until it ends.

Then let your hygienist handle the rest!

A neighborhood practice, on purpose. 💙

Dr. Ayanna Poindexter built Ryerson Smile Boutique around a simple idea: that going to the dentist should feel welcoming instead of stressful. That shows up in the small things. Knowing your name. Taking the time to explain what is happening and why. Being close enough to walk to.

Clinton Hill deserves a dental home that feels like the neighborhood it serves, and that is what we set out to be.

Sometimes the answer is not one treatment. It is the right one for each tooth. 🦷

This patient came in with worn, chipped edges on the upper front teeth and a dull shade that whitening could not lift. Some teeth needed full coverage for strength. Others only needed cosmetic refinement.

Dr. Poindexter designed a combination plan: porcelain crowns where the tooth structure was compromised, and veneers to refine the shape and shade of the teeth around them. The result is a uniform smile line with natural translucency at the edges.

Curious what your smile could look like? A cosmetic consult starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch.

Toothache? Don't wait it out. 🦷

That nagging ache is your mouth's way of telling you something needs attention. A toothache rarely fixes itself, and a small issue today can turn into a bigger, more painful (and more costly) one down the road.

Whether it's a dull throb or sharp pain when you chew, don't push through it. Reach out and our team will help you get seen and back to comfortable as soon as possible.

Relief is closer than you think. Call us or book online today.
