Cosmetic dentistry can help smile challenged men and women regain the freedom and confidence they need to smile again.
Dentistry’s New Digital Shade Scan
Dental patients will no longer have to leave the doctor’s office in fear that one or more of their crowns, veneers or replacement restorations will not match the rest of their pearly whites. The once very labor intensive process of using little color buttons or shade tabs held next to a tooth to create the desired color, has been replaced with a highly effective and precise method called “digital shade taking.” Dr. Clifford Williams, a Manhattan cosmetic and restorative dentist, is one of the first in the country to use this digital technology called the Cynovad's Shade Scan™.

“Seeing is Believing” with Digital Photography in Dentistry

Lose Weight at the Dentist's Office?
In the ever-growing weight-loss industry, which is estimated at $40 billion dollars, there is now a dental retainer that promises to help Americans fight the ‘battle of the bulge.’ Dr. Clifford Williams, a Manhattan cosmetic and restorative dentist, is one of the first dentists in the New York metro area who is certified to administer the DDS™ appliance.
