About Arbor: A Dental Concept

Arbor: A Dental Concept is a dental practice at 2727 44th Drive in Long Island City, New York, whose clinicians are recorded with the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. The practice describes its approach as biometric dentistry — an evidence-based method of tooth restoration that emphasizes biomechanical fidelity, material performance and conservative design — and organizes its work across modern general dentistry, cosmetic and esthetic dentistry, advanced restorative dentistry, and specialty dental and periodontal surgery. Restorative work includes biomimetic crowns and partial-coverage onlays intended to mimic the strength and flexibility of natural tooth structure while preserving more sound tooth, alongside full-mouth reconstruction, implant placement and the management of implant complications, and implant-supported overdentures and hybrid full-arch restorations. Diagnostics include near-infrared imaging for early caries detection, autofluorescence-enhanced screening, and CBCT with real-time AI analysis performed at new-patient checkups.

Common Questions

What does Arbor mean by "biometric dentistry"?

The practice defines it as a technical, evidence-based approach to tooth restoration that emphasizes biomechanical fidelity, material performance and conservative design. In practice that means restorations such as biomimetic crowns and partial-coverage onlays intended to mimic the strength and flexibility of natural tooth structure while preserving more of the sound tooth than fuller-coverage alternatives.

How is TMJ discomfort assessed here?

The practice offers TMJ consultations using real-time digital occlusion analysis. It describes the OccluSense scanner as producing a topology map of the bite, giving a three-dimensional, timelapse view of how occlusal forces are acting on the teeth as the basis for a consultation aimed at establishing bite harmony and reducing the risk of implant failure.

What full-arch and implant options does the practice provide?

It places and restores implants, from single-tooth replacement to complex cases, and states specific training in diagnosing and correcting implant complications. For edentulous arches it provides implant-supported overdentures and hybrid restorations, which anchor full-arch coverage to implants. Where bone volume is insufficient, sinus lifts and bone grafting are performed first to build the supporting foundation.

How are veneers planned and shade-matched?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted covers. Planning uses individualized smile design with digital imaging and precision technology to map the result before treatment begins. Shade selection uses digital colorimetry: the practice replicates L*a*b* color coordinates so ceramic veneers and crowns are fabricated with its technicians against measured values rather than visual estimation alone.

What happens at a first visit, and how do I book one?

New-patient checkups include cone-beam computed tomography with real-time AI analysis, which the practice uses to quantify tooth types, root canals, bone and gum profiles, crown state, root pathologies, orthodontic positions, and the quality of prior treatment. Appointments can be requested online or by telephone at (929) 590-1059; the practice is one stop from Manhattan.
