Manhasset Dental Arts:
A leader in modern dentistry
These days, Dr. Michael Abrams
is running on pure adrenaline.
Specializing in both orthodontics
and periodontics, this dually trained
dentist is a double threat. Since he
opened Manhasset Dental Arts, a
new state-of-the-art facility, with his
sister-in-law, Dr. Elizabeth Abrams,
also a dentist specializing in general
and cosmetic dentistry (dental trauma
too, especially in children), he hasn’t
gotten very much rest. Nevertheless,
he is enjoying the rush of delivering
healthy smiles his patients love.
“I haven’t slept since 2016,” laughs Dr.
Abrams, who had just returned from
a dental trip in California and was
back in his office hours later treating
patients with his friendly and downto
earth demeanor.
Since Manhasset Dental Arts
opened its doors seven months
ago, Dr. Abrams and his team have
been getting high marks for the
personal attention and care they give
each patient. Their modern office,
professional staff and state-of-the-art
technology has made a scary trip to
the dentist for some, a pain-free and
even pleasant experience. One female
patient described the treatment as
five-star. She even loved some of the
perks. “I got to watch YouTube and
music videos while they worked on
my teeth,” the patient said. “Even their
water system is purified alkaline water.
It was like my mouth was having a
spa treatment during my cleaning. It’s
unlike any other dental office I have
ever gone to.”
Dr. Abrams also lectures nationally
with the Greater New York Dental
Meeting, and is a guest lecturer
at the University of Pennsylvania,
Columbia University, and NYU.
Teaching and inspiring residents
about a field he is so passionate
about, he says, is always a thrill.
Question: What excites you about
dentistry?
Answer: The interdisciplinary
connection between periodontics and
orthodontics, along with other branches
of general and specialized dentistry.
Q: Can you tell us some of the common
problems you see in your practice?
A: I see a lot of gingival recession due
to misalignment of the teeth or even
of the jaws, causing instability to the
underlying foundational bone and
gums. It’s so important to properly
diagnose orthodontic issues, as this
can lead to increased susceptibility to
periodontal disease and cavities. I also
advertorial
see potential airway problems, as a
result of misalignment.
Q: How has dentistry changed in the
last decade?
A: Technology advances every day, and
it’s our job to keep up so we can provide
the most up-to-date and highest-quality
level treatment for our patients. Some
of these new developments are 3D
Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(CBCT) scans. We use these to evaluate
for possible tooth root fractures, to aid
in root canal treatment and implant
dentistry. Dental impressions have
also changed for the better. The gooey
materials that were once used are
now replaced with digital impression
scans. We can also treat disease with
minimally invasive lasers instead of
traditional surgery. We even have
custom braces that go on the back side
of your teeth, so they are truly invisible.
Dr. Abrams resides in Manhattan,
and Dr. Elizabeth Abrams lives in
Manhasset with her husband and
three children. Both are excited to be
part of the Long Island community.
