Not every damaged tooth needs a full crown.

When a tooth has more damage than a filling can handle but still has enough healthy structure to preserve, a dental onlay may be recommended. Onlays are custom restorations designed to strengthen and protect the tooth while preserving more of your natural tooth. Learn more about onlays at Joseph M. Buono, DDS, PC: https://www.nslidental.com/

October is Dental Hygiene Month, and it’s the perfect reminder that small daily habits can make a big difference for your smile. 🪥✨

Dental veneers are custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to instantly improve their shape, color, and overall appearance. They are different from crowns because they cover only the front surface of a tooth rather than the entire tooth structure.

At Joseph M. Buono, DDS, PC, Dr. Buono and Dr. Manetta will design veneers to blend seamlessly with your features so your smile still looks like you… just elevated. Learn more: https://www.nslidental.com/

If your toothbrush could talk, what would it say? 🪥
Probably something like: “I’m tired… please replace me.” If your bristles are frayed or worn out, your toothbrush isn’t cleaning as effectively as it should. Make it a habit to swap it out every 3–4 months to help keep your smile healthy and fresh.
