Family Dentistry
Piermont Dental Care offers dentistry for the entire family. We understand that adults & children have different needs & we address them all. Adults want the best technology, the most informed doctors & the highest-quality care, while kids want to be comfortable & respected. That’s why our dentists have extensive experience working with both adults & children. We can make your dental experience more enjoyable for everyone.Restorative Dentistry
We provide various treatment options for the repair of diseased or traumatized teeth. These include fillings, crowns & space maintainers if needed.Cosmetic Dentistry
Having a great smile can make a huge difference in the way you look & feel. We offer a complete range of cosmetic treatments to create the confident smile you've always wanted. We begin with a detailed smile assessment, discussing with you which aspects you like & dislike about your smile. Once our assessment is complete, we will discuss with you treatment options to help your smile look more natural, healthier & youthful.Fillings & Crowns
At our office, we offer tooth-colored fillings. Tooth-colored material can be used both as fillings & to repair defects in the teeth. Because they are tooth-colored, it is difficult to distinguish them from natural teeth. These fillings are often used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important. They can be used on the back teeth as well depending on the location & extent of the tooth decay.Mercury-Free Dentistry
We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using new advanced fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury as an alternative to traditional silver fillings.Orthodontics
Having straight teeth is important for both health & appearance. We offer newer, subtler varieties such as Invisalign® clear orthodontics, which is a unique new orthodontic treatment. Rather than using wires & brackets, Invisalign® uses custom-made, removable aligner trays that move teeth into place discreetly & comfortably. The aesthetic aspect is important because having a smile you love can affect your happiness & self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager or a child.

Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign® aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which Invisalign® develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months — no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place.
Dental & Restorative Implants
Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone & a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighboring teeth (like a bridge might). Treatment can be finished in three to five visits over the space of about four to 12 months.
Dentures
To increase speaking & chewing ability, we attach a customized denture to individual implants or a row of implants, securing the denture in place. They look completely natural, are long-lasting & are quite durable.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment & creating uniformity. Porcelain veneers can be placed over existing teeth without the removal of any form of tooth structure. Therefore, anesthesia & temporaries are not required. The no-prep technique is perfect for stained, chipped, misaligned or spaced teeth. Bonding porcelain to enamel creates a solid, secure bond.ZOOM!® In-Office Teeth Whitening
Now you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of minutes. Both comfortable & affordable, ZOOM!® in-office teeth whitening can make your teeth up to six to eight shades lighter in as little as 45 minutes. ZOOM!® in-office teeth whitening is safe, effective & very fast, & performed only by dental professionals.
Sedation Dentistry
Wake up to a more healthy & beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry (oral conscious sedation). We care for patients who have these concerns:- I’m afraid of needles & shots.
- I’ve had bad experiences before.
- I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
- I always gag when having dental work done.
- I just can’t seem to get numb.
- All my teeth are too far gone.
IV (Intravenous) Sedation
If you feel uneasy in a dentist’s chair have difficulty getting numb, or fear needles & drills, then ask Dr. Caniza about IV sedation dentistry. The skills & training required for performing IV sedation are quite rare in the dental field, making Dr. Caniza part of a select group of dentists capable of administering complete relaxation for his patients. With this extremely safe procedure, your anxiety will melt away as you enter sedation that is far deeper than when done orally. You’ll never fear a visit to the dentist again!TMJ (Jaw Pain) Therapy
Commonly misdiagnosed or overlooked, a subtle misalignment in the temporomandibular joint can be a common, significant source of head & neck pain. If you have frequent & severe head or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to investigate our doctor’s life-changing approach to correcting these TMJ problems.
Endodontic Therapy
With advanced & surprisingly comfortable endodontic therapy you have an alternative to tooth removal, whereby you’ll retain full use of your natural teeth. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of tissue from inside the tooth that has been damaged by trauma or infected by decay. After the pulp is removed, the pulp chamber & root canal system are cleaned, disinfected & sealed. Once a root canal is completed, two other procedures are generally needed to complete the restoration of the tooth. These are done by the general dentist.
