He is the best dentist I have ever had! I recently went to two dentists and an oral surgeon who wanted to extract a molar. Dr. Tufankjian removed the old crown and skillfully repaired my molar and placed a state of the art Zirconium crown. He also did two implants for me. His staff is awesome and accommodating. Look no further for excellence!

What’s that pain you’ve been having in your jaw, your ear, your face, your head? It very likely might be Bruxism, grinding your teeth often in your sleep when you are not aware of it. We can address this problem and resolve the discomfort and pain it causes you.
We are trained in treating bruxism.
What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the act of consciously or unconsciously clenching or grinding your teeth either during the day or while you sleep. Bruxism is considered both a medical and a dental problem. This is because it affects both the teeth and all of the structure near it, including the head.
Effects of Bruxism
People grind their teeth for a variety of reasons. Doctors believe that it is because of stress. Dentists say that it happens because one’s teeth are not properly aligned with each other. Whatever the cause treatment should not be delayed.
Teeth grinding may not seem to be a major health issue but can lead to problems such as broken, chipped or worn teeth; broken dentures; headaches and migraines; ear ringing; sore jaw joints (TMJ); dizziness; and sore head, neck and shoulder muscles.
Indications of Bruxism
Intense clenching of teeth, sometimes forceful enough to wake you up
Flattened, worn down, and chipped teeth
Worn tooth enamel
Sensitive teeth (jolts of pain from cold or hot foods and beverages or bristles of a toothbrush)
Pain and tightness in the jaws and surrounding muscles
Ear aches and/or ear ringing
Headaches and/or migraines
Sore Jaw Joints
Muscle pain in face, neck or shoulders
Treatment for Bruxism
You will be fitted by our dentist with custom Mouth Guards to prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth. Night mouth guards are bite pads that are worn at night as you sleep. These guards are made of high-grade plastic and should fit the teeth or mouth perfectly. This device keeps the upper teeth from grinding with the lower teeth, offering an instant solution to teeth clenching problems.
Call us today to schedule an appointment if you are experiencing problems with teeth grinding.
Don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss any aspect of your dental health – we don’t charge for giving advice!

The most amazing experience I've had with any dentist!! Dr. Tufankjian is both an excellent and attentive dentist, he insures comfort and instills confidence in his performance. Dr. Tufankjian was very supportive and understanding of my anxieties and took time to explain all procedures. The staff were incredibly knowlegable and worked with me to make sure my needs were met and my questions were answered timely. I wouldn't trust my oral care to anyone else.

So far so good! After doing alot of research and previously getting sub par work (that had to be replaced) I found Hyde Park Dentistry. I used to work in a dental office so I know what to look out for. If you need implants - go there ! They can do everything in office. Other offices you are sent in a merry-go-round to different specialist then come back then again. The extra 10 minutes drive from Poughkeepsie was worth it ! The guy is very easy to talk with and not once tried to over-treat.

Was a previous patient of Dr Whalen before Dr T took over. Very good experience, caring and attentive. Been going here for years. Never give more treatment than you need. I highly recommend.
