Plachtyna John P DDS

Dental Examination
Our practice is over 40 years old, which means many of our child patients are now bringing their own children to come see us! We just love serving the next generation, and our team has experience working with children of all ages. Regular exams and cleanings will help keep your child cavity-free year after year, and our friendly team will bend over backwards to ensure they always have a pleasant time at the dentist.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is a potentially deadly disease that is also very easy to miss early on. Nothing gets past our team’s trained eyes, however, so we perform an oral cancer screening at every regular checkup. That way, we can make sure a patient is able to get the care they need as quickly as possible. We’ll look out for any suspicious growths or sores inside your mouth, and if we find anything, we’ll know exactly what to do next.

Teeth Cleaning
Comprehensive checkups and cleanings are the foundation for every healthy smile, and we go a step beyond your average practice with these routine services. In addition to examining your teeth and gums, we’ll also look at your TMJ and take X-rays and intraoral photographs so that we’re able to catch any decay or damage as early as possible. Then, our experienced hygiene team will give you a refreshing cleaning that removes harmful plaque and tartar and gives your teeth a nice polish!
Fluoride Treatment
You’ll find fluoride in toothpastes, community water sources, and…our office! It’s nature’s gift to your smile, because when fluoride is exposed to the teeth, it instantly strengthens the enamel and makes it more resistant to cavities. In addition to using fluoridated products at home, we can provide you and your family with a topical fluoride treatment every time you come to see us, giving you another weapon in the fight against tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
Regular preventive care is the foundation of a healthy mouth, which is why we encourage all of our patients to visit us at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup. At these appointments, we will assess your oral health, give you friendly advice on how to care for your teeth and gums at home, and recommend any further treatment that we believe is necessary. For example, we may suggest that children receive dental sealants. We might also offer specific product recommendations to bolster your family’s oral health.

Fillings
Amalgam fillings expand and contract in response to temperature changes, which can damage the surrounding dental structure. Tooth-colored fillings do not have this problem.
Resin Composite
Want to fix an annoying chip, stain, or gap, but don’t want to break the bank doing it? Direct bonding is the perfect balance of affordability and effective treatment that can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. A composite resin is applied to your flawed tooth, and then we’ll sculpt it in such a way that it completely hides any blemish. The procedure only takes about an hour, is 100% painless, and the results can last for up to 10 years.
Veneers
At New Haven Dental Group, we focus primarily on providing our patients with conservative care that sustains and improves their oral health. However, we also recognize that aesthetics play a huge role in how many people feel about their teeth. That is why we offer a number of cosmetic services, including porcelain veneers. This transformative treatment can quickly disguise a broad range of imperfections in teeth, thus contributing to a smile that is as gorgeous as the personality behind it.
Crowns
Do you have a cavity that is a constant nuisance? How about a chipped or cracked tooth that is the source of dull but persistent pain? If so, a dental crown can easily make these problems a thing of the past. Crowns are custom-made restorations we can use to repair and enhance damaged teeth, and thanks to our team’s skill and artistic eye, you can trust that the end result will be as beautiful as it is natural-looking. If you’re in need of some top-quality smile repair, give New Haven Dental Group a call today.
Bridges
If you have lost one or more teeth, you have a few different tooth replacement options in front of you. One of those options is a dental bridge. This type of restoration has already helped countless individuals to enjoy improved dental function and improved smile aesthetics. On this page, you will learn more about dental bridges and how we may be able to use one to help you say goodbye to many of the risks and inconveniences that are related to tooth loss.
Dental Bonding
At New Haven Dental Group, we pride ourselves on providing our patients with satisfactory treatment results, whether they come to us for extensive restorative work, or they just want to give their smile a brand-new look. If the latter is true of you, we might recommend that you undergo dental bonding — which is sometimes called direct bonding — to transform teeth whose appearance does not fit in with your ideal image. This page explains more about what dental bonding is and what you can expect from the process.
Restorative Dentistry
At some point, everyone experiences some dental decay, damage, or regular wear and tear that leaves their smile looking and feeling far from its best. Whether you have just one compromised tooth or an entire mouthful, New Haven Dental Group can help you regain a strong and healthy smile using restorative dentistry. All of our restorations are custom-made for each patient using the most advanced materials, and in the end, we’ll make it seem like nothing was ever wrong with your teeth in the first place. To learn more about how we can fully repair your smile in just one or two appointments, contact us today.

Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth develops an infection below the enamel in its sensitive nerve tissue (called the dental pulp), this can cause an enormous toothache. In the past, teeth with this kind of damage would simply be removed, but using root canal therapy in New Haven, our team can save even severely damaged teeth and help them look and function like new again. Thanks to our modern techniques and technology, this long-feared procedure is now one of the most effective ways we can relieve — not cause —dental pain.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing. This procedure is basically a deep cleaning of the mouth. We remove harmful plaque and bacteria from both above and below the gum line. We also smooth out the roots of teeth so it is more difficult for bacteria to cling to them.

Dentures
Dentures have been helping patients regain their confidence and ability to chew their favorite foods for many years. Across the decades, they have evolved to become more functional and natural-looking than ever before. At New Haven Dental Group, we proudly offer both full and partial dentures to patients who have lost multiple teeth. If you are missing several — or even all — of your teeth, one of these treatments may be suitable for you.

Dental Implants
Dental implants replace the roots of lost teeth, but does that mean you need a dental implant for each missing tooth? Not necessarily. Here at New Haven Dental Group, we are proud to offer a unique treatment known as All-on-4 in New Haven. We can replace an entire arch of missing teeth with as few as four dental implants — and we can often do so in just a single appointment (after the initial planning stage)! Contact us today if you would like to learn more about how this streamlined tooth replacement strategy may be able to benefit you.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Many general dentists must refer patients to outside specialists when they need to undergo a complex procedure. That can cause some patients to be nervous, and it may lead to confusion about insurance, payment, and the overall treatment plan. Conversely, at New Haven Dental Group, we are able to perform the vast majority of procedures in-house, including even complex treatments. Our general dentists and specialists work together with the goal of providing each patient with a comfortable, streamlined experience from beginning to end. This page explains a few of the advanced oral surgery services we offer.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Mir graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ramapo College of New Jersey. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine in New York. He then completed additional training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Rutgers University Hospital in New Jersey and Woodhull Medical Center in New York. He went on to complete an Oral and Maxillofacial Residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington, DC. He served as the chief resident in his final year and scored in the 95th percentile in the In-service Examination.
Tooth Extractions
Are you experiencing a dull but persistent pain towards the back of your jaw? If so, and if you haven’t had your wisdom teeth out, then they are likely to blame! The wisdom teeth are the most often extracted, and that’s because the average person just doesn’t have enough room for them in their mouth. At New Haven Dental Group, we’re able to perform safe and effective wisdom tooth extractions in-office, saving our patients from having to visit an expensive specialist.
Bone Grafting
Dr. Francis Mir loves bringing smiles to his patients’ faces and helping them get back to their normal diet. Sometimes, teeth that are broken down can cause severe pain and cannot be saved. In many instances, patients are anxious from prior experiences and have a fear of going to the dentist. The loss of teeth, especially in the front, can make many patients feel self-conscious about their smiles. Dr. Mir has trained for ten years in the field of Dentistry and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to help his patients with these conditions. He especially enjoys providing sedation and sleep medicine during surgical procedures such as tooth removal, bone grafting, and dental implant placement to alleviate pain and anxiety.

Orthodontics
Dr. Meghan Graham attended Boston University Henry M Goldman School of Dental Medicine. She first earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, graduating Summa Cum Laude. While attending school, Dr. Graham was elected to membership in Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Honor Dental Society. After earning her DMD she continued on to complete her three-year specialty training in orthodontics in which she earned a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Orthodontics, and a Master of Science in Dentistry.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Perhaps your crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth have bothered you for years, but you have not done anything about them because the last thing you need is a mouthful of metal brackets and wires. For adults in your situation, our practice has what may be the perfect solution: Invisalign® in New Haven. Discreet, comfortable, and effective, this revolutionary system is the premier way people around the world are choosing to straighten their teeth.
Braces
Dental misalignment contributes to a slew of problems, including tooth decay, jaw pain, and more. They can also have a negative effect on facial aesthetics. Orthodontic treatment can help to correct all such issues. While modern dentistry has seen the emergence of a number of remarkably innovative methods for straightening teeth, traditional metal braces remain one of the most reliable, effective, and affordable ways to do so. If you would like to learn if braces are a fit for your circumstances, contact us schedule your consultation with our on-staff orthodontist.

Teeth Whitening
Have a wedding, date, or job interview that will be here before you know it, and you’re worried that people will notice your stained teeth? You can brighten them in just an hour or less thanks to our Zoom! Whitening treatment. Combining a powerful bleaching gel with a special low-UV light, we can break up and eliminate even the most stubborn stains in record time. This one procedure can easily make your teeth 6-8 shades brighter!
Cosmetic Dentistry
Do your teeth force you to think twice every time before you smile or say a word? If so, you’re far from alone. Many of our patients, even those with healthy teeth, feel self-conscious about their smiles because of noticeable flaws, but a solution is easily available thanks to cosmetic dentistry. Using the treatments detailed below, we can make any imperfection disappear and help you achieve the big, bright, and beautiful teeth you’ve always wanted, usually in just one or two appointments. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t! Give us a call to learn more.
General Dentistry
Dr. Madeline Kern is a graduate of Tufts University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science, and DMD from the School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Kern also earned her Residency Certificate in Advanced Education in General Dentistry from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
