Smiles for a lifetime thanks to Dr. Lichter
There was a time not that long ago
when it was assumed that missing,
broken and yellow teeth were just
an unfortunate part of growing old.
Brooklyn dentist Joseph Lichter,
DDS, insists it no longer has to be
that way.
“My motto,” says Dr. Lichter, “is
smiles for a lifetime.” By helping
patients make informed decisions
about their oral health needs and
offering the latest in cosmetic
dentistry, Dr. Lichter is committed
to maintain or, if necessary, restore
a beautiful smile.
“Sadly,” says Dr. Lichter, “dental
problems can have a real impact on
quality of life. Many people hold back
from laughing or smiling because
they are uncomfortable about their
appearance.”
His new facility on Avenue P in
Midwood is not your grandfather’s
dental office. Before showing up for
a first appointment, new patients
are encouraged to go online to
fill out a “Smile Analysis.” The
analysis asks 17 questions that help
both the doctor and patient decide
on a course of treatment. The new
patient is asked to “tell us what
you don’t like about your smile.”
Among the questions are: Are
any of your teeth yellow, stained
or somewhat discolored? Do you
have any prior dental work that
appears unnatural? Are the edges
of any teeth worn down, chipped
or uneven?
At the office patients will find
four dentists, skilled hygienists
and the latest equipment to meet
all of their dental needs. But more
importantly, said Dr. Lichter, he
and his staff offer the care that their
patients deserve.
“Unfortunately in today’s world
some of the care part has been lost.
Skill and compassion go hand-inhand
when providing exceptional
patient care.”
Whether they are performing
traditional dental procedures or
cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Lichter’s
team takes an overall comprehensive
a p p r o a c h t h a t t a k e s i n t o
consideration the patient’s entire
body, not just the teeth.
Dr. Lichter said he is proud to
bring state-of-the art dentistry to
Midwood.
“I am always trying to be on the
cutting edge of my profession,” he said.
He appreciates the positive feedback
he has been getting. The new office
space that has been tripled in size
allows the team to accommodate more
patients more quickly.
This is a full service traditional
dental practice that has been in
Midwood for more than 65 years.
Dr. Lichter is the third dentist
to run the office. Of course Dr.
Lichter performs traditional dental
procedures such as teeth cleaning,
fillings, root canal therapy and
the removal of teeth. But in
addition the practice offers the
latest in restorative and cosmetic
dentistry including implants,
porcelain veneers and crowns and
fixed bridges. These and similar
procedures can make a broken
smile look like new.
The office offers Invis-align, an
alternative to metal braces that uses
virtually invisible plastic aligners
that gently shift teeth into place over
a period of time. This alternative, the
doctor said, has become increasingly
popular with teens and adults. This
procedure can have a longterm
impact on quality of life.
The good news, Dr. Lichter said, is
that people are learning to take better
care of their teeth. And as people in
today’s world expect to live longer
they are more open to what cosmetic
dentistry has to offer.
He acknowledges that modern
dentistry can be expensive, especially
for treatments that are not covered
by insurance. “Dentists,” he explains,
“can have extremely high overhead,
especially for work done outside the
office.” However Dr. Lichter said he
attempts to keep dentistry affordable
so everyone can benefit.
His experience so far has been that
patients find the results well worth
the investment.
