  • Sinus Lift Surgery | Premier Periodontics

    At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implant placement to help restore your teeth and smile. However, to offer the treatment, your jawbone must be sufficient enough to anchor the inserted implants. Sinus Lift Surgery Sinus Lift Surgery Tinton Falls, NJ At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implant placement to help restore your teeth and smile. However, to offer the treatment, your jawbone must be sufficient enough to anchor the inserted implants. However, this is not always the case, and you might find yourself with less than adequate jawbone. Fortunately, we can help to create more bone structure, thus creating space for dental implants. A sinus lift surgery is one of the many solutions we use for this purpose. What Does The Sinus Lift Procedure Involve? A sinus lift surgery is a bone-grafting dental procedure that is used to create more bone structure at the back of the jawbone. It involves lifting the floor of the maxillary sinus upwards, hence the name sinus lift. The lifting creates a space between the jawbone and the sinus membrane, where a bone graft material is placed. When this graft starts to grow, it creates new bone tissue, which merges with the existing jawbone tissue, creating an adequate bone structure for dental implants. When Is A Sinus Lift Needed? A sinus lift surgery is usually performed before a dental implant procedure when you have insufficient bone structure at the back of your upper jawbone. The insufficient bone can be brought about by: • A naturally smaller jawbone - which would thus not be enough to support a dental implant • Bone loss due to atrophy - this can happen after tooth extraction - especially the back teeth - where the lost stimulation can lead to bone deterioration. The damage of the bone tissue surrounding the tooth socket can also cause deterioration of the jawbone. • When your sinus has expanded into the jawbone - the maxillary sinus can expand over time as you age, until it is too close to the jawbone, thus leaving inadequate space to insert an implant. Preparing For The Sinus Lift A sinus lift surgery is preceded by a diagnosis, where dental imaging using techniques such as CT scan can help to observe the position of the sinus and the available jawbone structure. If it is determined that the bone structure is not enough, the surgery is recommended. Dental imaging (using dental x-rays and CT scan images) is used to create an accurate treatment plan before the actual surgery. What Happens During Sinus Lift Procedure? On the day of the sinus lift, you will be put to sedation using anesthesia – local or general depending on the situation. The jawbone below the sinus membrane is exposed by creating an incision in the gum tissue. A small hole is then created on the jawbone, thus providing access to the floor of the sinus. The membrane is then pushed upwards, leaving a space where the bone graft is placed. If the grafting material is from another source, the graft is placed into the created space, and the surgical site closed up. However, if the bone graft is to come from your body, it is harvested during the sinus lift surgery – thus two procedures are performed at the same time. After Getting A Sinus Lift Once the sinus lift has been performed, the wound is allowed to heal, and the new bone tissue is given time to form completely before implants are inserted. However, if the bone structure is stable enough, the implant can be inserted on the same day as the sinus lift, thus preventing the need for a future procedure on the same site. Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry helps you to replace your back teeth with natural-looking ones by offering you a sinus lift procedure to create space for implants. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to schedule a consultation about the procedure. We offer other smile-enhancing cosmetic dental procedures like dental implants and sinus lifts.

  • Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Surgery | Premier Periodontics

    Premier Periodontics of Tinton Falls, NJ specializes in the revolutionary procedure known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Surgery. Scapel and Suture free with minimal discomfort. Call: 732-747-1766 today. Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation-Tinton Falls, NJ Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation- Tinton Falls, NJ Periodontal Surgery At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry of Tinton Falls, we specialize in a revolutionary new procedure known as Pinhole Gum Surgery. Invented and patented by Dr. John Chao, this cutting-edge technique has forever changed the way we correct gum recession. If you need restorative periodontal treatment, Chao pinhole gum surgery may be the ideal solution! What Is Periodontal Recession? The leading cause of gum recession is periodontal (gum) disease . Other causes include trauma, over-brushing, poor oral hygiene, genetics, hormonal changes, tobacco use, crooked teeth, and bruxism (teeth grinding). Gum recession can result in exposed roots, leading to major tooth sensitivity. It can also lead to teeth that appear longer and are at a greater risk of decay, infection, and extraction Periodontal disease is an infection caused by the harmful bacteria found in plaque. Over time, this infection can spread the gums, connective tissues, and even the underlying jawbone. Eventually, tooth loss will occur. Gum recession is a major symptom of advanced periodontal disease and usually requires immediate treatment . The Chao Pinhole Surgical Procedure During your consultation appointment, Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS will determine if you are a suitable candidate for Chao pinhole gum surgery. If you have gum recession, but still have areas of healthy periodontal tissue, you should qualify for treatment. Chao pinhole gum surgery can be an effective alternative to traditional gum grafting . The Chao pinhole technique is scalpel and suture-free. Even though discomfort is minimal, we begin with a local anesthetic to numb the area. During the actual procedure, we use a needle to make a tiny hole near the recessed gum tissue. Next, we will use a special hand tool to loosen the healthy tissue underneath gently. This makes it possible for us to slide the healthy tissue over the recessed area. The new tissue will eventually heal over the deteriorated gums and cover the exposed root structure. This eliminates the need to remove healthy tissue from other areas of the mouth, such as the palate. The procedure usually takes one to two hours to complete. Benefits Of Chao Pinhole Periodontal Surgery The Chao pinhole technique had some benefits over traditional gum recession treatments. Eliminating the need for scalpels and sutures makes the procedure much more minimally-invasive. It can also lead to a faster, more comfortable procedure and healing period. The results of Chao pinhole gum surgery are also permanent. Once your tissue is fully regenerated, be sure to practice proper oral hygiene. Regular brushing and flossing can help ensure your gum recession does not return. Follow these steps, and your gums should stay healthy for years to come! The surgery improves not only your oral health but also the aesthetics of your smile. Pink, full, and healthy-looking gums are just as important to your smile as your teeth. With the Chao pinhole technique, we can strike a better balance between your teeth and gums. Talk with Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS to learn more about the amazing benefits of Chao pinhole gum surgery during your consultation.

  • Sedation Dentistry-Shrewsbury, NJ | Premier Periodontics

    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!

  • Crown Lengthening | Premier Periodontics

    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.

  • Dental Technology | Premier Periodontics | New Jersey

    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. 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 . You can also stop by the office to make your appointment in person.

  • Gum Recession Treatment | Premier Periodontics

    Suffer from Gum Recession? Look to Premier Periodontics of Tinton Falls, NJ. 25+ Years Experience. 10x Top Doctor. 732-747-1766 Gum Recession-Tinton Falls, NJ Gum Recession Treatment Tinton Falls, NJ Gum Recession Can Be Avoided By Seeking Early Treatment For Gum Disease Gum recession occurs when the gums start to pull back from the roots of your teeth. Some causes of gum recession include: Periodontal Disease Genetics Tooth Brushing Routine Poor Dental Hygiene Hormonal Changes Tobacco Use Grinding or Clenching of Teeth Crooked Teeth or Bite Misalignment Body Piercing Steps To Prevent Recess ion Steps suggested to prevent gum recession include: Seeing your doctor for regular cleanings and checkups Not smoking or using other tobacco products Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet Using the proper brushing techniques with a soft-bristled toothbrush or an electric toothbrush Seeing your doctor to correct a misaligned bite or teeth grinding problems Gum Recession In Tinton Falls, NJ When the gum tissue around the teeth starts to wear away or pulls back to the roots of the teeth, your teeth can become more sensitive and the receding gums can affect the quality of your smile. Gum recession can not only indicate the presence of gum disease , but also mechanical or functional problems that need to be addressed. Once the gums recede, they do not grow back; it is therefore important to prevent further recession of the gums. Without proper treatment, you may end up losing your teeth. Since gum recession occurs so gradually, most people do not even realize they have receding gums until they can see the gaps or experience extreme tooth sensitivity. If your teeth appear longer than normal, it may be because the gums are pulled back and you can feel a notch or a small dent around the gum line. If you are noticing signs of gum recession, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. A dental professional can recommend a treatment plan that will prevent further gum tissue breakdown and take care of other oral health problems. Causes Of Gum Recession Some of the key causes of gum recession include: Periodontal Disease – A bacterial infection of the mouth can destroy gum tissue and supporting bone. Genetics – Some people are simply predisposed to developing gum disease, no matter how good their oral hygiene practices may be. Tooth Brushing Routine – If you brush too hard or use the wrong brushing technique, you could be wearing down the enamel of your teeth and making your gums recede. Poor Dental Hygiene – When you do not brush and floss your teeth regularly, excessive plaque buildup can set the stage for gum disease, which can cause receding gums. Hormonal Changes – Changing hormone levels in women can make the gums more sensitive and may increase the risk of developing receding gums. Using Tobacco Products – Smoking and chewing tobacco products can cause plaque formation, which becomes difficult to remove without a diligent oral hygiene regimen and professional teeth cleanings. Grinding or Clenching the Teeth – Putting too much pressure on the teeth can make your teeth shift and cause gum recession. Crooked Teeth or Bite Misalignment – If the teeth do not come together evenly, there may be extra pressure on some parts of the gum and bone, which can eventually lead to receding gums. Body Piercing – If you have your lips or tongues pierced, the jewelry could be irritating your gums and eventually wear them down. Gum Recession Treatment Options If you have gum recession that is a result of periodontal disease, a dental professional can provide a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup around the tooth and root surfaces below the gum line. This is called Gum Recession Treatment. In some cases, antibiotics are also administered to reduce harmful bacteria remaining the spaces between your teeth and gums. If you have gum rec ession due to periodontal disease, mechanical, or functional factors, your dentist may recommend surgery or even Pinhole Gum Surgery to repair the damaged gum tissues. These procedures include: Pocket Depth Reduction – a gum doctor will fold back the affected gum tissue to remove the harmful bacteria from the pockets and then secure the gum tissue in place over the tooth root. Regeneration – after a pocket depth reduction procedure, the doctor can use a regenerative material such as a membrane, graft tissue, or tissue-stimulating protein to promote natural bone and tissue regeneration in the affected area. Soft Tissue Graft – grafting procedures involve applying tissue grafts from the mouth or a donor graft to the affected area to encourage gum tissue regeneration. Preventing Gum Recession Taking good care of your mouth and sticking with a good oral hygiene regimen will help to prevent gum recession. Some other preventive measures include: Seeing your dentist or periodontist on schedule Quitting smoking/tobacco use Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet Using a soft-bristled toothbrush or an electric toothbrush Using the proper tooth brushing technique Correcting a misaligned bite or teeth grinding problems Monitoring changes occurring in your mouth If you are concerned about receding gums, set up a consultation with your doctor today!

  • Teeth In A Day | Premier Periodontics

    At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implants as one of the top solutions for replacing missing or damaged teeth. The implants, which use durable and natural-looking artificial teeth offer a lasting solution for many dental issues. Teeth in a Day- Tinton Falls, NJ Teeth In A Day Tinton Falls, NJ At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer dental implants as one of the top solutions for replacing missing or damaged teeth. The implants, which use durable and natural-looking artificial teeth offer a lasting solution for many dental issues. However, the implant placement process can be long, often taking several months for some people. As a result, during this waiting period, you have to suffer through a reduced oral functionality, and sometimes, a less-than-perfect smile. Fortunately, there is a solution for the patient who would like to enjoy the benefits of dental implants without having to wait for several months – immediate dental implants What Are Immediate Dental Implants? Immediate dental implants, also known as same-day implants or immediate loading implants – are dental implants that are offered in a single day, thus providing an instant replacement for your missing teeth. They are usually offered on the same day as your teeth are extracted, thus saving you the trouble of having to wait for several weeks or months before getting the implants. Who Can Get Immediate Dental Implants? Immediate dental implants can be offered to anyone with missing teeth, or on the brink of losing their teeth. They can be used as a solution for a single tooth, several teeth, or all missing teeth. However, to get the implants, your jawbone and gums must be healthy and sufficient. Therefore, if your gums and jawbone are damaged, or if there is not enough bone, the immediate implants will not be offered. Instead, other dental treatments will be used to restore the gum and bone structure, after which, the standard implants can be inserted. You can also fail to get immediate dental implants due to the following reasons • If there is an infection around the tooth extraction site(s) • If there are signs of dental health issues - gum disease, cysts, lesions, etc. • If the jawbone is damaged during the tooth extraction process - can happen during complex extraction • If the initial stability of the jawbone is not enough to properly support implants - even if you have a healthy jawbone • Other dental or general health conditions that can affect the implant placement procedure The Immediate Dental Implant Placement Procedure Immediate dental implant placement starts with the extraction of the affected teeth. Immediately following the extraction of a tooth, the jawbone is drilled to create a hole for the implant. The implant is then inserted, and the gums surrounding it stitched up to seal the wound. An abutment is then screwed onto the implant, thus allowing for the installation of the dental crown. Before the surgery, dental x-rays and CT scans are used to assess the condition of the jawbone and plan for the accurate placement of the implants. An impression of your teeth and dental features is also taken, which allows for the custom-creation of the dental crowns – or in the case of implant-supported dentures, the dental bridge. Caring For Your Immediate Implants With immediate dental implants, there is no waiting period to allow the tooth extraction sites and implant sites to heal. Proper care is thus needed to ensure that the implants heal properly without any complications. Following the implant placement, you should avoid irritating the surgical site, for example, by excessively brushing or flossing, or by biting and chewing hard foods. Proper oral hygiene is also needed to ensure that the implant sites heal properly without any infection. Do your teeth need extracting? Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can offer you immediate dental implants that can help to replace them in a day. So, why wait when you can get new teeth in a day. Call us now at (732) 747-1766 to schedule an appointment.
