Meet Dr. Aimee Kraft, Our Brooklyn Dentist
Aimee Kraft, DDS, is a general dentist treating patients in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City and the surrounding area. With more than 10 years of experience in the field, she utilizes safe, state-of-the-art technology to give her patients the best results.
Dr. Kraft offers many of the most advanced treatments available, including Invisalign® orthodontic treatment, dental implant restorations, and complex tooth extractions. She also offers standard general dentistry services, including teeth whitening, dentures, veneers, simple tooth extractions, fillings, and emergency care.
Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings serve as the foundation of proper oral hygiene at Dr. Aimee Kraft’s Brooklyn practice. These preventive procedures remove plaque and tartar that accumulate on teeth despite daily brushing and flossing. During a cleaning, a hygienist examines your mouth for issues, removes deposits, and polishes your teeth to a smooth finish. Dr. Kraft recommends that most patients schedule cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health and prevent conditions like gingivitis or cavities.
Root Canal
Root canal therapy at Dr. Aimee Kraft’s Brooklyn office saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction due to severe infection or damage. The procedure involves removing infected pulp, cleaning the canal system, and sealing the space to prevent reinfection. Contrary to outdated perceptions, modern root canal treatments alleviate pain rather than cause it, with most patients returning to normal activities the following day. Dr. Kraft’s gentle technique and effective anesthesia keep patients comfortable throughout this tooth-saving procedure.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings repair teeth damaged by decay, restoring normal function and appearance at Dr. Aimee Kraft’s Brooklyn dental practice. Options include tooth-colored composite resin that blends seamlessly with natural teeth, durable amalgam for back teeth, and premium materials like porcelain for enhanced aesthetics and longevity. The procedure typically requires just one appointment, during which Dr. Kraft removes decay, cleans the cavity, and places the chosen filling material. With proper home care and regular checkups, dental fillings can provide years of functional restoration while preventing further tooth decay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, children developing oral hygiene habits, teenagers with braces, pregnant women, and seniors may need more frequent cleanings (every 3-4 months). Our hygienists will recommend a personalized cleaning schedule based on your oral health needs. Contact Dr. Kraft at (718) 625-6629 to ask any questions about pediatric dentistry.
Dental fillings typically last between 5-15 years, depending on the material used, location in the mouth, oral hygiene habits, and chewing forces. Composite (tooth-colored) fillings generally last 5-10 years, while amalgam (silver) fillings can last 10-15 years with proper care.
A typical dental filling procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity. This includes time for numbing the area, removing the decayed portion of the tooth, placing the filling material, and adjusting it for proper bite alignment.
