Regular checkups and prophylactic cleanings are your first line of defense against dental problems. Major costly dental treatments can be avoided with a proactive attitude. Comprehensive dental examinations with necessary x-rays allow our doctors to provide appropriate dental treatment. Preventive treatments such as sealants and fluoride varnishes can help protect against tooth decay. With proper home care instruction and preventive strategies, we can help our patients avoid unexpected dental problems.
Beautify your smile by simply brightening your teeth. We provide several different procedures and guidance to help you get a whiter smile. Options include in-office bleaching, take-home bleaching trays and bleaching strips. Our office utilizes Sapphire Whitening System.
Did you know that periodontal disease has been linked to systemic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes? Healthy gums and bones not only provide support for your teeth but also can be an indicator for your overall health. We provide periodontal assessments, and make appropriate referrals when needed. Our goal is to help our patients obtain and maintain good periodontal health.
Despite the best of intentions, dental problems can still occur. At Newark Dental Associates, we strive to provide ideal treatment for each of our patients. Our goal is to provide a natural looking restoration with optimal function.
Teeth with small cavities can be restored with durable alloy as well as tooth-colored composite resins.
For larger cavities or broken teeth, crowns can restore your tooth to function. Crowns can be fabricated of several materials: gold, porcelain fused to gold, all-porcelain, Captek, Zirconia, etc.
These restorations, consisting of several crown-like structures, can provide a form of treatment for replacing missing teeth. As with the crowns, bridges can be fabricated with different materials, and are cemented in place.
Implants are the latest in restorative technology and are becoming the preferred procedure for restoring missing teeth. We perform thorough evaluations for the appropriateness of this treatment, coordinate with a surgical specialist for placement of implant fixtures and provide final restorations for these implants.
Partial dentures offer another option in replacing missing teeth. With advances in dentistry, partials can be fabricated not only in resin and metal but also in nylon and with tooth colored clasps for a better cosmetic appearance.
Our doctors fabricate quality custom fitting dentures. In some cases, combination of implants and dentures can provide ultimate success.
Ill-fitting dentures can often result in mouth sores and discomfort. Removable partial and complete dentures need periodic inspections. Simple relines and adjustments may be the answer to keeping those dentures in your mouth rather than on the nightstand.
Abscessed and degenerated nerves in the tooth are often the cause of severe dental pain. A root canal treatment cleans out the infected nerves. After treatment, a crown may be recommended. Our doctors provide simple root canal treatment or will make the appropriate referral to a specialist.
Braces can be beneficial for patients of any age. Our doctors provide evaluations and refer to specialists to ensure the best treatment for our patients.
We diagnose and treat Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ/TMD), and work with specialists when necessary. We fabricate custom occlusal guards for TMJ problems and for clenching and grinding. For our active patients, we recommend custom sports guards to prevent traumatic dental injuries.
Veneers and Lumineers have been very popular in recent years. Ask one of our doctors whether you are a candidate for this treatment.
Our doctors will perform simple tooth extractions, while referring more complicated extractions to the appropriate specialists.
In case of a dental emergency during office hours, don't hesitate to contact our office. We perform emergency exams, treatments and can refer you to a specialist if necessary. For after hour emergencies, patients of record may contact our office for emergency numbers.
