At SohoSmile®, we redefine traditional dentistry with a biologic approach that underscores the intrinsic link between oral health and overall well-being. Situated in NYC, our dental practice seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art techniques and technologies, employing natural, biocompatible materials to ensure optimal outcomes while prioritizing your health.

Guiding Principles of SohoSmile®:
Our philosophy at SohoSmile® transcends conventional dental paradigms by embracing a biologic ethos that recognizes oral health as integral to holistic wellness. We are committed to not only enhancing your smile but also nurturing your overall health. Growing research emphasizes the profound connections between oral health and systemic diseases such as digestive disorders, respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and diabetes. Particularly, gum disease has been linked to elevated risks of heart attacks and strokes, underscoring the significance of early intervention. Grounded in the understanding of the body as a unified system, our biologic approach acknowledges the intricate interplay between oral health and overall well-being.

Professional Dental Cleanings in NYC:
Professional dental cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. While daily brushing contributes to oral hygiene, routine cleanings are crucial for optimal dental health. Our cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, millions of bacteria that thrive in your mouth, stabilizing your natural flora and preventing cavities. Additionally, dental cleanings improve overall dental health and can reduce the need for future dental procedures. Dr. John Koutsoyiannis recommends professional cleanings 2 to 3 times a year, or 4 times for patients with extensive dental work.
Ideal Candidates for Dental Cleanings:
All patients benefit from regular teeth cleanings, as they play a pivotal role in achieving and maintaining proper oral health. Dental cleanings can detect oral diseases in their early stages, enabling timely intervention. For patients with underlying oral conditions, dental cleanings can be combined with other procedures to address specific concerns, such as gum disease.

What to Expect During Your Treatment:
A routine dental cleaning is a simple procedure typically associated with minimal discomfort. However, if significant plaque or tartar buildup is present, a deep cleaning may be necessary. During the cleaning, we utilize a combination of techniques, including water sprays, ultrasonic tools, dental instruments, and polishes, to ensure thorough cleaning. Fluoride treatments, digital dental x-rays, and cavity fillings may also be part of the process, depending on your needs.

Root Planing (Deep Cleanings):
Our team offers deep cleanings to combat gum disease. Unlike regular cleanings that focus on areas above the gumline, deep cleanings target areas below the gumline through scaling and root planing. Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums, while root planing smooths root surfaces to prevent bacterial adhesion, promoting gum health.
