Deantal Anxiety? Premier Periodontics offers Shrewsbury Patients Complete Dental Sedation to ensure a stress free, comfortable Dental experience. Youy won't even know you were there. Don't stress the Dentist, Choose Dental Sedation at Premier Periodontics! Call today at: 732.747.1766 Dental Sedation-Shrewsbury, NJ Dental Sedation Options Shrewsbury, NJ At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and even enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, we understand that certain people have fears or anxiety associated with professional dentistry. Some of these fears can even prevent people from receiving the treatment they need to maintain proper oral health. For this reason, we offer sedation options that help our patients relax during their appointment. Sedation dentistry may be ideal for Shewsbury patients who: • Dread their appointment with a dentist • Have a low pain tolerance • Experience significant sensitivity issues with their teeth and gums • Possess a strong gag reflex • Have trouble sitting still in a dental chair • Need a significant amount of dental work Nitrous Oxide-Shrewsbury, NJ Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is perhaps the most common form of sedation dentistry. It is also one of the safest and most effective ways to alleviate anxiety or discomfort. The gas is administered through a special mask that fits over your nose during your procedure. Nitrous oxide is a common choice because it takes effect and wears off within minutes. It is the only form of sedation that allows you to drive yourself home following a procedure. In many cases, nitrous oxide is used in conjunction with oral sedation. Oral Sedation-Shrewsburt, NJ Oral, or enteral sedation, typically comes in the form of a pill or liquid. Depending on the dose, oral sedation can produce minimal or moderate effects. This type of sedation allows you to feel drowsy or relaxed without losing consciousness. Because oral sedation takes effect slowly, we usually ask you to take the pill an hour or so before your appointment. The most common medications include Diazepam, Triazolam, and Lorazepam. Many patients choose oral sedation due to easy administration, effectiveness, and lower costs. IV Sedation-Shrewsbury, NJ IV, or intravenous sedation, is a more serious method that provides a deeper state of sedation. As the name suggests, the sedative is administered through a vein to provide quick and effective results. This type of sedation places you in a “twilight” zone on the edge of consciousness. Most people who undergo IV sedation have little or no memory of their procedure. Even in this deep state of sedation, you will still be awake and able to respond to stimulus. We typically reserve this type of sedation for lengthy or complex procedures, especially if you have severe anxiety that would otherwise prevent you from receiving treatment. General Anesthesia-Shrewsbury, NJ During general anesthesia, you are completely unconscious. This type of sedation typically requires the supervision of an anthologist during the procedure. For this reason, general anesthesia is reserved for special circumstances. Safety And Sedation Dentistry-Shrewsbury, NJ Before your procedure, we will review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for sedation dentistry. Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS has received extensive training to safely and effectively administer dental sedation. Our office also follows specific guidelines set by the American Dental Association to ensure your safety. If you are worried about safety, be sure to ask any questions and voice concerns. Above all else, your comfort, and peace of mind are our top priority. It is why we offer sedation dentistry in the first place!

Bruxism or tooth grinding and clenching, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems are two dental health issues that can affect anyone. TMJ And Bruxism Problems TMJ And Bruxism Problems Tinton Falls, NJ Bruxism or tooth grinding and clenching, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems are two dental health issues that can affect anyone. However, they are among the most serious dental problems, as they can cause extensive damage to your dental health and quality of life; they usually lead to pain, discomfort, teeth damage and loss, and other dental and overall health problems. Seeking dental care for TMJ and bruxism problems is thus important. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry we offer a wide range of dental solutions which help to manage or treat these conditions. What Is Bruxism? Bruxism is a dental condition that is characterized by grinding or clenching of the teeth. The grinding and clenching are often involuntary, often occurring at night when sleeping. However, the condition can also occur during daytime, when you are mentally preoccupied with other matters. In most patients, the grinding and clenching often go unnoticed, that is until the signs and symptoms start appearing. These symptoms might include: • Increased sensitivity of the teeth • Worn-out teeth (on the top surfaces) • Teeth fractures, cracks, or broken teeth • Discomfort or pain in the jaw Bruxism is often caused by stress and anxiety, but it can also be caused or triggered by other factors such as abnormal bites, sleep disorders, night terrors, and other health disorders. The condition can be quite serious when the grinding and clenching occurs regularly. It can lead to teeth damage, increased stress on the jawbone, bite alignment problems, and is usually characterized by pain in the teeth and jawbone, and severe headaches. What Is TMJ? TMJ is a dental health condition characterized by pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and the muscles that are involved in controlling the jaw movement. TMJ problems occur due to various reasons, which include: • Misalignment of the disks found in the jaw joints • Damage of the cartilage in the joints • Damage of the jaw joint due to increased stress and tension - for example, long time grinding and clenching (bruxism) • Damage to the TMJ following a dental trauma TMJ dysfunction can lead to several dental and overall health problems including pain and swelling around the jaw, pain around and in the ears, severe headaches, problems with opening or closing the mouth, inability to chew, etc. Treatment Options For TMJ And Bruxism Treatments for TMJ and bruxism problems vary from one patient to another, depending on the condition of each person. Several treatment solutions are available, which either help to control (manage) the symptoms, stop the causative factor, or fix the damage causing the problems. Some of these treatment options include: Teeth night guards to ease pain and protect your teeth and jawbone from additional damage. The night guards can sometimes help to stop the grinding • Jaw alignment devices to fix jaw joint misalignment • Bite adjustments to ease the discomfort on the jaw joints • Jaw surgery to fix the issue or repair damage to the jaw Aside from the damage to your teeth and jawbone, TMJ and bruxism problems can cause extreme pain and discomfort that can greatly affect your life. However, you can find relief with solutions from Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to find out more about these dental conditions and the treatment options that we can offer you.

The joint that connects the top of the jaw to your skull is known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It can sometimes be affected by complications that cause pain, such as locking the jaw in place. Night Guard Night Guard Tinton Falls, NJ The joint that connects the top of the jaw to your skull is known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It can sometimes be affected by complications that cause pain, such as locking the jaw in place. Sometimes it is difficult to diagnose a problem with the joint, as it can be caused by problems within the mouth, or just in the joint alone. Bruxism is a common problem that occurs when the upper and lower dental arches grind against each other. Prolonged tension in the joint from bruxism can cause pain and headaches. Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry has specialists who can help locate the cause of your jaw issue, and will attempt to fix it in the most non-invasive way possible, usually through the use of a night guard. Causes In some cases, the erosion of the protective disk between the skull and jaw can cause grinding between the two, and be the cause of pain for a patient. A heavy blow or impact to the TMJ can also cause the cartilage to become worn down. This can also be caused by bruxism and arthritis. Bruxism can be caused by a number of reasons including stress, anxiety, alcohol, and caffeine. Sufferers of bruxism will realize their condition through pain in their jaw, waking up with a tense jaw and restlessness at night. It is important to get your bruxism looked at by one of our dentists, as prolonged teeth grinding can wear down enamel and put unnecessary pressure on your TMJ. Treatment TMJ problems can often be short-lived, and so relaxation exercises associated with the jaw can give it the time it needs to heal. Avoiding chewing on hard objects, such as fingernails and pen lids, can help prevent unnecessary strain. A brief suspension of contact and object sports, eating soft foods, and using over-the-counter pain medication are all remedies to TMJ issues. Bruxism can be treated using a custom fit mouthguard that is worn at night. Our dentists can take a mold and 3D images of your teeth, and send the data to a dental lab. There, they will be able to make a custom-fit night guard. This guard will fit snugly in your mouth, and prevent the damage to your teeth and strain of the jaw at night. The night guard will take some getting used to. If pain persists, talk to one of our dentists, as they can teach you helpful jaw exercises that act to relax the joint, and alleviate pain. Sometimes, more sophisticated treatments are needed to amend TMJ issues. The filing of teeth and the placement of crowns can help realign a patient’s bite, to help ease the jaw and the strain that may be being placed on it. In extreme scenarios, surgery can be used to open up the joint and amend the issue directly, but this is only done when less invasive methods have proved unsuccessful. Our dentists at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry are highly trained in TMJ related issues and bruxism and we understand the importance of a healthy jaw. There is plenty you can do at home to help soothe your jaw, book an appointment with us now at (732) 747-1766 to get fitted for a night guard.

Dental braces are effective orthodontic devices, which have been around for decades. They are very useful for people with teeth alignment issues, and they can help to fully restore your smile. However, if you are conscious about your appearance, dental braces might not be a great option for you. Invisalign Straightening Your Teeth Using Clear Invisalign® Aligners Tinton Falls, NJ Dental braces are effective orthodontic devices, which have been around for decades. They are very useful for people with teeth alignment issues, and they can help to fully restore your smile. However, if you are conscious about your appearance, dental braces might not be a great option for you. The braces, especially the traditional metal braces, come with metal devices, which are not only unsightly but expose your condition to almost anyone you interact with. Luckily, there are alternatives to the standard dental braces. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer Invisalign aligners, clear brace-like devices that straighten your teeth while giving you a great appearance. Invisalign are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. How Does Invisalign Work? Invisalign aligners are a clear alternative to the conventional dental braces. They are made using clear, barely visible plastic material – and hence are also known as invisible aligners. The plastic material helps to shift your teeth to the desired position, but without exposing your treatment to people. Moreover, in case anyone happens to notice you are wearing aligners, the design and the translucent color are attractive, such that they will not cause you any embarrassment. How Are Invisalign Aligners Different From Dental Braces? While Invisalign aligners work to produce the same results as dental braces, both orthodontic devices are very different in many ways. Below is a look at some of these differences: • The material used - as already mentioned, Invisalign aligners are made from a clear plastic material, while dental braces are made from metal or ceramic. The clear plastic is more attractive, thus making the Invisalign aligners more aesthetically superior. Aside from that, the plastic is more comfortable compared to the metal or ceramic material used in dental braces. • Teeth alignment mechanism - traditional dental braces use a tightening mechanism, where the force needed to shift the braces come from tightening them. Invisalign on the other hand use custom-designed plastic trays, which are adjusted to help push the teeth to the required position. The Invisalign mechanism is faster and offers minimal risk of causing damage to the teeth. • Removability - dental braces are fixed, and can only be removed in the office - usually, during adjustments or after you are done with your treatment. Invisalign aligners are, however, removable, and you can remove them to eat, clean them, or ease the discomfort on your teeth. As a result, the aligners are more comfortable to wear, easy to maintain (you can remove and clean them), and have no diet restrictions. • Treatment length - Invisalign treatment is very effective when they are worn as recommended - about 20 to 22 hours a day. Depending on your treatment condition, Invisalign aligners can help you to achieve desired results up to several months sooner compared (when compared to dental braces). Cost Considerations With Invisalign Invisalign clear aligners have several advantages over the dental braces. However, these advantages sometimes come at a slightly higher cost. However, the comfort when wearing the aligners, the faster treatment, and the aesthetic appeal make the clear aligners worth it for many people. Are you looking to get your teeth straightened? Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can help to restore your smile using effective and aesthetically pleasing Invisalign aligners. Call our office today at (732) 747-1766 to find out more about these clear aligners.

Professional Tooth Whitening Professional Tooth Whitening Tinton Falls, NJ Discolored teeth are one of the most common dental health issues, which affects many people. People who regularly indulge in drinks such as coffee, red wine, black currant, or are avid smokers are hit the worst by teeth staining.

Professional teeth whitening is a process in which the stains on your teeth enamel are removed using a teeth whitening agent – which can be a solution or gel. The whitening agent used is applied to the teeth, where it oxidizes the molecules of the stains. The oxidation of these molecules reduces the amount (or prevents) the amount of light reflected, thus making them appear colorless. This helps to give your teeth back their natural white color. During the teeth whitening treatment, different types of options (whitening agents and techniques) can be used depending on your specific needs. Below is a look at some of these options: • Bleaching - the most common tooth whitening technique. It involves the use of a bleaching agent, which oxidizes the stain molecules. • Opalescence whitening - a relatively new and revolutionary whitening technology. It makes use of an Opalescence gel, which contains a hydroxide peroxide for whitening and PF (Potassium nitrate and fluoride) for protecting and strengthening the teeth. • Laser activated whitening - laser activate whitening is a solution that can be used with other teeth whitening options to increase their effectiveness - by activating the whitening agent using laser light. Benefits Of Professional Tooth Whitening Professional teeth whitening can offer you several benefits, including: • Improved appearance - the main benefit of tooth whitening is that it restores the natural appearance of your teeth. This greatly improves your overall appearance and helps to boost your self-confidence. • Improved dental health - tooth whitening procedure usually involves dental cleaning to get rid of some of the staining substances - tartar, dental plaque, and the stains found on the surface of the teeth. The removal of the tartar and dental plaque helps to prevent the buildup of oral bacteria in your mouth, thus saving you from potential dental health issues such as tooth decay and gum tissue damage. • Stronger and healthier teeth - some of the whitening substances used contain ingredients that help to make your teeth healthier and stronger, for example, the PF ingredient in Opalescence whitening gel. Are There Any Risks Involved? Professional tooth whitening, while making use of strong whitening agents, is a completely safe procedure. The whitening agent used is carefully chosen to offer the best and safest results for your specific condition. Also, your soft gum tissues are properly protected from the whitening agent, ensuring that they are not damaged. Tired of your discolored teeth dampening your smile?

Premier Periodontics uses cutting-edge 3D imaging, laser dentistry & guided implant tech for safer, faster results in Tinton Falls, NJ. Schedule today. Dental Technology Dental Technology Tinton Falls, NJ Dentistry has evolved over time. Most people fail to realize dentistry has been a medical practice for centuries. Now, with modern technologies available such as CAD/CAM, which is the field of computer-assisted design and computer-assisted manufacture, dental practices such as ours are able to provide patients with impactful solutions to their oral hygiene needs. By using digital X-rays, a small hand-held device called an intra-oral camera, soft tissue dental lasers, and intra-oral scanners, we can provide state-of-the-art technology to meet our patient’s needs. Reach out to us at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry to schedule an appointment utilizing the latest advances in technology to best treat you. What Is CAD CAM Technology? This new technology provides computer assistance to both the design and the manufacture of dental appliances. With computer precision there are less instances where appliances do not fit or irritate the soft tissues of the mouth. Tooth restoration has never been more efficient. The computer manufacturing process can perfectly match the natural tooth color of the patient, so the new appliances are inconspicuous. What Are Digital X-Rays? One of the most widely used technologies is X-ray imagery of a patient’s mouth. Where once patients had to pinch the film clip between their teeth, that is no longer necessary. Now our practice has the next generation of X-ray technology. Digital imagery provides crystal clear pictures of the patient’s mouth, leading to more accurate diagnoses and more efficient treatment plans. What Is An Intra Oral Camera? These are used during dental exams. A small hand-held camera, it is shaped like a dental mirror allowing our staff to view teeth and gums in real-time. It also can show periodontal disease and tooth decay. Patients are able to view everything in real time along with our staff so they can discuss options. What Is A Soft Tissue Las er? Lasers were first approved for soft tissue applications in the early 1990s. Then, in 1996, it was approved for hard tissues like the jawbone. Widely utilized in a variety of soft tissue situations, soft tissue lasers can reshape gums and destroy bacteria when a patient undergoes a root canal. They can be used to obtain small tissue samples to be used in a biopsy. Removing lesions and canker sores, they can also be used to treat periodontal disease symptoms. Another benefit of using a soft tissue laser is it also promotes faster healing and tissue regrowth. When using a laser for the procedures, no sutures are needed because it seals nerve endings and blood vessels in one step, greatly diminishing post-op infection rates. What Is An Intraoral Scanner? This is a wand-like device used to provide our staff with three-dimensional imagery of the patient’s oral cavity. Also painless, our staff can simply move the wand across the upper and lower bridge of the patient’s teeth and computer software captures the three-dimensional model. These are used to not only monitor existing conditions but also to diagnose any new ones. Let our expert team give a thorough examination using some of the latest advances in technology at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry. Our number is (732) 747-1766 .
