Research has concluded that there is a strong link between oral health problems like periodontal disease and other illnesses that affect our bodily health. Body And Mouth Body And Mouth Connection Tinton Falls, NJ Over the last few decades, there have been many studies on the mouth-body connection. Research has concluded that there is a strong link between oral health problems like periodontal disease and other illnesses that affect our bodily health. Simply put, taking good care of your teeth and gums can benefit your mouth and your body as a whole and possibly even save your life! At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we believe that patient education is the foundation for good oral health. In this case, it can also help you maintain better bodily health too! The following information details the relationship between periodontal (gum) disease and systemic illnesses. Heart Disease And Periodontal Disease If left untreated, a periodontal infection can have serious consequences and can also affect other parts of your body, such as the heart. Studies have shown that periodontal disease can trigger inflammation throughout the body, especially in the circulatory system. The bacteria that causes periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, resulting in inflammation and arterial plaque formation. Periodontal disease can exacerbate existing heart conditions. People with untreated periodontal disease are at much higher risk of infected heart valves heart attacks and strokes. Diabetes And Periodontal Disease The connection between periodontal disease and diabetes is extremely strong. Periodontal disease has been shown to worsen diabetes and people with diabetes have a much stronger tendency of developing periodontal disease as well. Periodontal disease is an infection caused by our immune system’s response to the harmful bacteria found in plaque. Unfortunately, the toxins our bodies create also produce an infection that can spread to the gum tissue, connective ligaments, and underlying bone. Without treatment, these tissues will begin to deteriorate. People with diabetes have a harder time fighting off this infection due to a compromised immune system. Diabetes strains the immune system, which can lead to periodontal tissues that do not heal as well. Research also suggests that bacteria plaque can induce a greater inflammatory response, making it more difficult for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar. Cancer And Periodontal Disease Research has shown that people with untreated periodontal infections are much more likely to get lung cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, and cancers of the blood. Respiratory Disease And Periodontal Disease Research has shown that pulmonary disease may be the result of bacteria that first develops in the oral cavity. This bacteria can be aspirated into the lungs and cause respiratory illnesses like pneumonia. Alzheimer’s Disease And Periodontal Disease There have been numerous studies linking untreated periodontal disease to Alzheimer’s disease. Schedule Your Appointment Today! Periodontal disease does not usually cause any discomfort and is very often undetected. Early treatment is the key to not only the health of your mouth but to your overall health as well. Studies have shown that people who retain their teeth throughout their life live considerably longer than those that do not. Call (732)-747-1766 to schedule your appointment with us today!

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.

Crown lengthening (AKA: "crown-elongation" or "crown-extension") is a surgical procedure that is done when the tooth is too short to provide adequate retention for a restoration (usually a crown). Crown Lengthening Dental Crown Lengthening Tinton Falls, NJ Crown lengthening (AKA: "crown-elongation" or "crown-extension") is a surgical procedure that is done when the tooth is too short to provide adequate retention for a restoration (usually a crown). When a tooth has a deep cavity, a crown and buildup are usually needed to restore the tooth. If the cavity extends too far below the gums, it becomes impossible to predictably make a crown that will last for any length of time. Performing crown lengthening where indicated improves the prognosis for the tooth. Crown lengthening nearly always involves removing and recontouring some of the bone around the tooth. This results in more tooth structure above the gums and smooth flowing gum contours. Not every tooth that needs a crown also needs crown lengthening surgery, it is only necessary when a deep cavity or crack is present. Reasons For Crown Lengthening • To be able to keep a tooth that would otherwise be removed • Provide gum contours that make the tooth easy-to-clean again • Improve the appearance of the gum line (in some cases) • Provide a restored tooth that lasts longer What Does Crown Lengthening Involve? First, the dentist or periodontist will thoroughly numb the tooth or teeth needing crown lengthening. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. After the procedure your dentist can now prepare the tooth for a functional, long lasting crown. As always, proper brushing and flossing is key to insuring the maximum life of your new crown. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we are committed to helping you smile proudly by fixing your teeth problems. To this end, we offer you crown lengthening, which restores the functionality of your damaged teeth while giving them a great natural look. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to schedule an appointment for your crown procedure.

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 For Dental Implants? 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. Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can help to fix your dental problem, making you an ideal candidate, or offer other alternative teeth replacement solutions.

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. Call us, Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, at (732) 747-1766, to find out if extraction is right for you.

A smile makeover is a process that helps to improve your smile using cosmetic dental procedures. Also known as a full smile restoration, the process helps to remedy any dental problem that could be causing your smile to be crooked. Smile Makeover Full Smile Makeover To Restore Your Natural Vibrant Smile Tinton Falls, NJ A smile makeover is a process that helps to improve your smile using cosmetic dental procedures. Also known as a full smile restoration, the process helps to remedy any dental problem that could be causing your smile to be crooked. Due to this reason, it can involve several cosmetic dental procedures, with the number of procedures performed depending on your specific dental condition. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry we offer smile makeover services, which help to remedy all dental problems troubling you, thus restoring your natural smile. What Dental Issues Can A Smile Makeover Fix? The smile makeover procedure can help to fix any type of dental problem that has an inkling towards your appearance. Some of the most common problems fixed by a smile makeover include: • Teeth alignment issues - misaligned teeth can alter your appearance and dampen your smile. However, using cosmetic dental solutions such as dental braces and clear aligners, it is possible to get your smile back. • Discolored teeth - teeth discoloration, either due to aging, smoking, food, and drinks, or other reasons can cause your smile to be unsightly. However, teeth whitening solutions can help to restore the natural color of the teeth, thus improving your smile. • Chipped, broken, cracked, or decayed teeth - it is possible to treat damaged teeth using cosmetic dental restorative procedures such as veneers and dental crown. • Unevenly shaped teeth - unevenly shaped teeth can give you a crooked appearance, thus dampening your smile. However, cosmetic procedures such as dental bonding, and dental veneers can remedy the problem and restore your appearance. • Missing teeth - missing teeth can do much damage to your appearance, causing you to hide your smile. However, using dental solutions such as dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and dentures, it is possible to replace your lost teeth with attractive, natural-looking prosthetics that are guaranteed to give you a bright smile. • Unshapely face - the shape of your face can be altered by damage to the jawbone caused by an injury, jawbone atrophy, effects of aging, and several other factors. Modern cosmetic dental solutions can, however, help to restore your natural face structure. The Smile Makeover Process The smile makeover treatment process begins with a consultation to assess your oral health condition. The assessment involves an examination of the teeth, gum tissue, the jawbone structure, and the bite. We will also examine for any existing dental health problems that might need treating. Based on your specific needs, we will then come up with a customized treatment plan, which will achieve all the desired results. The smile makeover treatment has no specific procedures or timeline. The procedures performed, as well as how long they will depend on your dental health condition. For a few dental problems, the treatment can involve only one or a few procedures, lasting a short period. However, if there are serious problems such as teeth misalignment, bone structure deterioration, gum damage, and others, the treatment can last several months. However, at the end of it all, your appearance will be greatly improved, allowing you to smile with confidence. If you are experiencing dental health problems, Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can help to remedy them and allow you to smile again with the full smile makeover treatment.
