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. If you are one of these people, smiling can be a huge problem, as the discolored teeth are likely to embarrass you when in a social situation. However, lucky for you, Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can help to restore the natural color of your teeth using professional teeth whitening solutions. This way, you can be able to smile again without being embarrassed. What Does Professional Tooth Whitening Involve? 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?

Some symptoms of gum disease are more obvious than others. Because the disease often progresses silently, recognizing these symptoms can help you prevent or halt its spread. Symptoms of Gum Disease Symptoms of Gum Disease Tinton Falls, NJ Some symptoms of gum disease are more obvious than others. Because the disease often progresses silently, recognizing these symptoms can help you prevent or halt its spread. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we believe patient education is the cornerstone of good oral health, especially when preventing or combating gum disease. Our in-office treatments usually involve patient education as well. Symptoms Of Gingivitis Gingivitis is the first and most common stage of gum disease, making it the easiest to prevent and treat. However, many of the symptoms are painless and unnoticeable, meaning most people do not know they have the disease. Without the knowledge of these symptoms, the disease is likely to progress to more advanced stages. Symptoms of gingivitis include gum inflammation, dark red discoloration, and gums that tend to bleed easily during flossing. At this stage, your periodontal pockets may be two to four millimeters in depth. Healthy pockets are only one to two millimeters deep. Symptoms Of Early Periodontitis When gingivitis progresses to early periodontitis, the initial symptoms may worsen. At this stage, the infection has also spread beyond the gum tissue to the connective ligaments and underlying bone. The periodontal pockets are usually between four and five millimeters deep. Symptoms Of Moderate Periodontitis Without treatment, the disease will progress to moderate periodontitis. At this stage, the infection will lead to moderate levels of bone deterioration. Gum recession will also occur, leaving your roots exposed to more plaque and bacteria. Exposed roots can result in severe sensitivity issues with your teeth. As the gums and connective ligaments continue to deteriorate your teeth may become loose. The infection may also spread to your bloodstream and cause an inflammatory response throughout your body. At this point, your periodontal pockets will be between six and seven millimeters. Symptoms Of Advanced Periodontitis During the final stage of periodontal disease, advanced periodontitis, you may experience severe pain while chewing. The infection can also cause a foul taste in the mouth and extremely bad breath. At this point, your periodontal pockets are deeper than seven millimeters, and the roots of your teeth are nearly all exposed. Due to severe gum recession tooth loss is likely. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. If we diagnose you with advanced periodontitis, immediate treatment is required. In some cases, you may need surgical intervention to get your periodontal health back on track. Three Types Of Periodontitis The three major types of periodontitis include: • Chronic Periodontitis - This type affects mostly adults and is typically caused by plaque buildup. This is the most common type of periodontitis. • Aggressive Periodontitis - This type usually begins during childhood and only affects a small number of people. Most of the time these people are a part of the same family due to a genetic predisposition to the disease. • Necrotizing Periodontal Disease - This type is characterized by the death of gum tissues, connective ligaments, and the supportive bone due to a lack of blood flow. It is most common in patients with a suppressed immune system. Schedule Your Appointment If you think you may have gum disease, it is important to take action as soon as possible.

Good oral health starts with a good brushing and flossing regimen, yet 20% of Americans admit that they never floss and nearly one out of four people have skipped brushing their teeth two days in a row or more. What Is Periodontal Disease? What Is Periodontal Disease? Tinton Falls, NJ Good oral health starts with a good brushing and flossing regimen, yet 20% of Americans admit that they never floss and nearly one out of four people have skipped brushing their teeth two days in a row or more. With these high levels of dental neglect, it’s no wonder that periodontal disease is on the rise. Fortunately, if caught early, gum disease can be entirely reversed. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry we know how to both quickly spot the first signs of gum disease and also how to thoroughly treat it, giving you back your healthy and beautiful smile that you can be proud of. What Is Periodontal Disease? Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection in the teeth and gums that arises from poor oral health. When tartar builds up along the gumline, the bacteria in it start to attack the soft tissue in your mouth, making them vulnerable to infection. This can lead to a host of complications, including bleeding when you brush and floss, swollen and puffy gingival tissue, receding gums, and even tooth loss. When periodontal disease is still in its early stages, it is called gingivitis. Gingivitis is diagnosed by inflammation of your gum tissue and is often painless, making it all the more difficult to catch on your own. That’s why regular dental appointments are so vital, giving you a chance to stop this subtle but dangerous disease in its tracks before it can progress and become worse. If your gum disease advances, it becomes a condition known as periodontitis, which can be quite harmful. That means the disease has progressed to your bone tissue, increasing your risk of complications. It is diagnosed by the presence of pockets between your tooth roots and your gum line. Not only can you develop an infection and abscess in your mouth, but periodontitis is also associated with other conditions such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, and even death. Fortunately, gum disease does not automatically mean that you are going to lose your teeth or your life. If spotted early, you can cure it on your own at home with a good oral health routine in place. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled brush, for two minutes per session. You also need to floss at least once a day. Floss after you brush your teeth to avoid pushing bacteria further up under your gums, using an 18-inch length of floss and working a fresh segment of floss all the way over your tooth and under your gums. Antibacterial mouthwash can also be beneficial, but please be aware that it is no replacement for good brushing and flossing. Treatment for advanced periodontal disease does require intervention from us, as it does not go away on its own. We may advise a procedure known as scaling and root planing or, if the disease has progressed severely already, we may have to perform a surgery on the affected teeth, such as a gum graft or root canal. If you suspect that you may be suffering from periodontal disease, or if it has been longer than six months since your last dental appointment, please call our office here at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry at (732) 747-1766 right away to schedule an appointment for a dental checkup and cleaning and, if necessary, treatment for periodontal disease.

At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implant treatments to help replace your missing teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth, or several of them – even when missing all of your teeth – our dental implant solutions can help to restore your smile. Who is a Candidate? Who Is A Candidate For Dental Implants? Tinton Falls, NJ At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implant treatments to help replace your missing teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth, or several of them – even when missing all of your teeth – our dental implant solutions can help to restore your smile. However, dental implants cannot be offered to everyone. There are requirements that a dental implant candidate must meet to get the implant procedure. So, who is a candidate? Read on below to find out who can and cannot get dental implants. What Are The Requirements For Getting Dental Implants? To be a dental implant candidate, you must meet the following requirements: • Have at least one missing or badly damaged (beyond repair) tooth - of course, to get dental implants, you need to have a tooth or more that needs to be replaced. This can be a missing tooth or a tooth that is badly damaged such that extraction is the only viable solution. • Have health and sufficient jawbone - dental implants require adequate support, which comes from the jawbone. Therefore, your jawbone must be healthy and sufficient enough to anchor the dental implants. • Have healthy gums - part of the support of the dental implants comes from the gums, so your gums must be healthy enough for the procedure. Healthy gums are also required during dental implant procedure to ensure that the surgical wounds (for inserting the implants) heal properly and without risk of infection • Be committed to proper oral hygiene - while lack of proper oral hygiene will not necessarily disqualify you from getting implants, it is required that you practice proper oral hygiene to ensure that the implant site is not affected during the recovery period - which could lead to implant failure. The dental implants can also fail when your gums and jawbone becomes infected, so proper oral hygiene is required throughout to maintain the implants. Factors That Can Disqualify You From Dental Implant Placement Apart from not meeting the above requirements, there are several other reasons that can disqualify you from getting dental implants. These reasons include: • If you have gum disease or an oral infection - implants must heal properly else, they will fail. Therefore, having gum disease or an oral infection increases the likelihood of the implants failing. • If you are currently suffering from other dental conditions - some dental conditions such as bruxism, temporomandibular jaw (TMJ) problems, and some orthodontic problems might cause complications of the implants. Therefore, getting treatments for these conditions is advised before you can receive implants. • If you are a heavy smoker (addict) - smoking after getting implants can lead to dry sockets, which can cause implant failure. Getting implants is thus not recommended if you are a heavy smoker - unless you are willing to quit instantly. • If you are suffering from a serious medical condition - implant insertion is a surgical procedure. Complications can thus arise during and after the procedure if your immune system is compromised by a serious medical condition - for example, cancer, AIDs, autoimmune diseases, or even if you have undergone an organ transplant procedure • If you are pregnant - implant placement, while you are pregnant, could lead to complications. Waiting until after giving birth is thus advised. Not an ideal dental implant candidate? Do not worry.

Have you ever felt bouts of fear run through your body at the mere thought of getting your teeth cleaned? Would you rather stay home and endure intense pain than visit your dentist’s office? Well, you’re not alone. Oral Conscious Sedation Oral Conscious Sedation Tinton Falls, NJ Have you ever felt bouts of fear run through your body at the mere thought of getting your teeth cleaned? Would you rather stay home and endure intense pain than visit your dentist’s office? Well, you’re not alone. Most people go through the same feelings and prefer avoiding dental treatment completely. However, at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we make sure to keep you from feeling intense discomfort and pain. Thanks to sedation dentistry, most people can easily get rid of their anxiety associated with invasive as well as non-invasive procedures. Here’s more on the use of oral conscious sedation and its implications on dental procedures. What Is Oral Conscious Sedation? Based on the intensity of your fear, your dental surgeon chooses the appropriate sedation method. Oral sedation can lie anywhere between minimal to moderate, depending on your condition. Your dental surgeon may recommend taking a pill for minimal sedation at least one hour before the procedure. The pill tends to make patients drowsy even though they are still awake. In order to induce moderate sedation, they may even administer a slightly larger dose. This type of anesthesia is usually associated with sedation dentistry as some people also become groggy and fall asleep while they undergo the procedure. However, it isn’t extremely strong, and surgeons can still wake patients up with a gentle shake mid-surgery. The main difference between minimal and moderate sedation is that the patient is still awake but relaxed in minimal sedation. However, in moderate sedation, they may slur their words when speaking and may also have trouble remembering the procedure. Is Sedation Appropriate For You? If you’re someone who undergoes extreme anxiety and fear about visiting the dentist, even for a small procedure, then sedation dentistry is just the right approach for you. It is also appropriate for people with bad gag reflex and a low pain threshold. People who cannot sit still and need a lot of dental work can also benefit from sedation. Sometimes, children can also fall under this category if they refuse to cooperate during a procedure. Since nitrous oxide is generally safe, it can be administered within the recommended dose based on the child’s weight and age. Is Sedation Dentistry Safe? While it is usually safe, there’s still a certain amount of risk involved. People who have obstructive sleep apnea or those who have obesity should undergo consultation before choosing to go ahead with it. This is because they have a greater chance of developing complications from anesthesia. Schedule Your Consultation Today Sedation dentistry can help people immensely, especially when it comes to reducing their anxiety associated with dental procedures. However, understanding the complications and risks involved is also crucial and plays a role in determining the course of the procedure. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS and , who specialize in the field can run you through the procedure and help you deal with fear effectively.

The purpose of dental care is to, among other things, ensure that your natural teeth remain healthy. However, due to various reasons, one or more of your teeth can become damaged to the extent that it cannot be repaired or saved. In such a case, tooth removal can be an ideal solution. Tooth Removal Tooth Removal Tinton Falls, NJ The purpose of dental care is to, among other things, ensure that your natural teeth remain healthy. However, due to various reasons, one or more of your teeth can become damaged to the extent that it cannot be repaired or saved. In such a case, tooth removal can be an ideal solution. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer tooth removal services, which help to get rid of the problematic teeth, thus sparing you from additional dental problems. When And Why Is Tooth Removal Necessary? Tooth removal is a necessary dental procedure that is performed when a tooth becomes badly damaged. This can occur due to: • Advanced decay • Advanced infection that affects the pulp • As a result of advanced gum disease • Due to a dental trauma Tooth removal might also be needed for other reasons such as: • When you have impacted teeth • Before the treatment of crowded teeth to create some space on the jawbone • To get rid of a slightly infected tooth to prevent health complications when your immunity is severely compromised or before/after undergoing an organ transplant procedure Whatever the damage or problem is, removing the tooth can offer you several benefits. To start with, getting rid of the problematic tooth can help to offer relief from pain and discomfort. It can also prevent the spread of infection to other teeth, gums, and jawbone, thus sparing you from more serious dental health issues. After removing problematic teeth, you can also receive teeth replacement dental solutions such as dentures, implant-supported dentures, and dental implants. These solutions can help to improve your oral function, as well as your appearance. What Does Tooth Removal Involve? Tooth removal is usually a simple procedure. It starts with a diagnosis of the problem tooth to determine if removal is the right treatment solution. When removal is determined, the procedure is then carried out under local anesthesia. During the procedure, the tooth is loosened from the jawbone before being extracted by pulling it off. After tooth extraction, some slight bleeding might be involved, which can continue for up to a few hours. It is also possible to experience some pain and swelling around the extraction site. However, these side effects disappear after a few hours. Surgical Extraction Of A Tooth While a tooth removal procedure is usually simple, sometimes the problem might be complicated, making a simple removal ineffective. In such a situation, surgery is used to remove the tooth from the jawbone. Surgical extraction is used in situations such as: • When you have impacted teeth • When the tooth roots are improperly developed large or curved roots • Removing a broken tooth that cannot be pulled out • Due to complications during a simple extraction procedure for example, when the tooth breaks during removal or if parts of the roots remain in the jawbone During the surgical removal procedure, local anesthesia (complimented by intravenous anesthesia and nitrous oxide sedation) is used to keep you calm and ease the pain. General anesthesia can also be used in more complex situations. After sedation, an incision will be created on the gums to create access to the tooth and the jawbone. In some situations, parts of the surrounding jawbone are removed to create access to the tooth. The tooth is then pulled out, or cut into pieces and then removed. After extraction, the gum tissue surrounding the tooth socket is sutured to seal the wound. Do you have a tooth that is troubling you? Tooth removal can help to get rid of it, providing you with relief from pain and discomfort.
