Comprehensive Dentistry in Somers, NY
As your trusted dental care experts in Somers, NY, we’re committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive care for every patient.
We understand that your oral health is closely connected to your overall well-being, which is why we go the extra mile to keep your smile—and your body—healthy. From preventive care to restorative and cosmetic treatments, our goal is to keep your mouth in excellent shape and help you feel confident about your smile.
Preventive Care
The foundation of a healthy, beautiful smile starts with quality preventive care. Regular visits to our office allow us to catch potential issues early—before they become painful or more serious.
Routine Exams & Cleanings
We recommend visiting us every six months for a routine exam and professional cleaning. During your visit, we’ll take any necessary X-rays, and one of our skilled hygienists will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. They’ll also provide personalized tips to help you maintain a bright, healthy smile. After your cleaning and X-rays, one of our highly trained doctors will complete your exam, review your oral health, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Each exam includes an oral cancer screening, where we carefully examine your lips, gums, jaw, and neck for early signs of oral or throat cancer. With approximately 42,000 Americans affected each year, early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to the acids that cause decay. We recommend fluoride treatments for patients of all ages to help protect against cavities and maintain long-term oral health.
Sealants
Dental sealants are a quick and effective way to prevent cavities—especially in children. Applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars shortly after they erupt, sealants act as a protective barrier against decay-causing bacteria.
Nightguards & Mouthguards
Nightguards: If you grind your teeth while sleeping (bruxism), a custom nightguard can help prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, and morning headaches. Our nightguards are designed for comfort and long-term protection.
Athletic Mouthguards: For patients who play contact sports, a custom-made mouthguard provides critical protection from injury, including cracked, broken, or knocked-out teeth.

Restorative Care
Sometimes, our smiles need a little extra care to get back to their best. Dr. Gianna Ferranti, DDS—your trusted dentist in Somers—is highly trained in a range of restorative procedures designed to repair damage, restore function, and bring back your confident smile.
Crowns & Bridges
Damaged or misshapen teeth from cracks, breaks, or large fillings can be restored with custom-made crowns. These tooth-colored caps cover and protect the tooth, improving both strength and appearance. Dr. Ferranti and our team take great care in molding, prepping, and placing your crown to ensure a secure, natural fit.
For patients missing one or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge can be used to fill the gap. Anchored to crowns on either side, bridges are a stable and comfortable solution—more natural-feeling than removable dentures.
Dentures
When multiple or all teeth need replacing, dentures are a reliable and effective option. Today’s modern materials offer both comfort and a natural look. Dentures also help preserve your facial structure by supporting the lips and cheeks when teeth are missing.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Once your implant is placed, visit our Somers dental office for the restoration. We custom-fit crowns, bridges, or even full implant-supported dentures to your implant posts for a secure, comfortable fit with no slipping.
Root Canal Therapy
Tooth infections can cause severe pain and risk the loss of your natural tooth. Root canal therapy offers relief and preserves your tooth. Dr. Ferranti will explain the procedure and your sedation options to keep you comfortable.
During the treatment, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the inside of the tooth, and place a crown on top to restore strength and prevent future infection.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When cavities occur, we use durable, tooth-colored filling materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These modern fillings require less drilling than traditional silver fillings, preserving more of your healthy tooth structure and offering a more aesthetic result.

Digital Technology
At Somers Smiles, we’re committed to making your dental visit as comfortable, efficient, and informative as possible. That’s why we use the latest digital technology to enhance your care and overall experience.
Digital X-Rays
Our advanced digital X-ray system offers a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional X-rays. Unlike older methods that require sharp, uncomfortable film and chemical processing, digital X-rays are fast, clear, and more environmentally friendly.
Benefits of Digital X-Rays:
- Up to 90% less radiation exposure
- Safe for all patients, including pregnant women
- No need for uncomfortable film in your mouth
- Immediate image availability for quicker diagnoses
- Easy to share and store for treatment planning
We also offer digital panoramic X-rays, which give us a comprehensive view of your entire mouth, including the jaw, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs).
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera allows us to see areas of your mouth that are difficult to view with the naked eye. As a powerful patient education tool, it also lets you see exactly what we see—whether it’s a cracked filling, early decay, or signs of wear—so you can better understand your treatment options and make informed decisions about your care.
iTero Intraoral Scanner
The iTero Intraoral Scanner is a cutting-edge, touch-enabled device that captures highly accurate, 3D digital impressions of your teeth, gums, and mouth. It replaces messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions and is perfect for procedures like Invisalign®, crowns, bridges, nightguards, and more.

Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety is common, and we want you to feel relaxed and comfortable during your visit. To help you achieve a stress-free experience, we offer several sedation options tailored to your needs.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a gentle, fast-acting sedative that induces relaxation. You’ll remain awake and aware during your procedure, but you’ll feel calm and at ease. The effects wear off quickly, and you’ll be able to drive yourself home after treatment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, Dr. Gianna Ferranti, DDS, can prescribe an oral sedative to take before your appointment. This medication helps you feel completely relaxed by the time you sit in the dental chair. If you choose this option, you’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
IV Sedation
For more extensive procedures or patients with severe anxiety, IV sedation may be the best option. This method provides deep relaxation, and while you’ll remain conscious, you won’t remember much of your time in the chair. Our team closely monitors your sedation throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

Cosmetic Injectables: BOTOX® & Dermal Fillers
Enhance your smile makeover with BOTOX® and dermal fillers-—safe, effective treatments that can rejuvenate your facial appearance and complement your dental care.
BOTOX® Treatment
BOTOX® isn’t just for smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet; it’s also a therapeutic solution for teeth grinding (bruxism), TMJ pain, and chronic headaches, including migraines.
- How It Works: BOTOX® temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles and pain, offering a smoother appearance and relief from discomfort.
- Results: Visible improvement begins in 5-7 days, with results lasting about 3-4 months.
- Procedure: Quick, with no downtime. Mild swelling or redness may occur but dissipates in a few hours.
- Dermal Filler Treatment
As we age, our skin loses volume, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of facial definition. Dermal fillers restore that volume using synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), which mimics natural skin components.
- Uses: Dermal fillers can enhance lips, reshape the chin and jaw, or improve facial symmetry.
- Revanesse® Products: We use high-quality Revanesse® dermal fillers, which integrate seamlessly into your skin for a natural look without lumps or migration. The added lidocaine minimizes discomfort during the procedure.
- Results: Immediate volume restoration, with results that can last up to 2 years. The filler also stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.
- What to Expect: The procedure takes about an hour. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which will improve within 2-3 days. The final results settle in after 2-3 weeks.
