That’s why we offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures. For trustworthy cosmetic dentistry, West Orange, NJ, makes the short trip to D & G Dental of West Orange.

Teeth Whitening

Probably the most popular of our cosmetic dentistry treatments is teeth whitening. We offer Zoom! in-office teeth whitening for the fastest results possible, as well as an at-home system if you prefer to whiten your teeth on your own schedule in the privacy of your own home. We also have what we call the Whitening for Life Program, which allows you to maintain your beautifully white smile with complementary teeth whitening gel that you’ll be given after each checkup.

Cosmetic Bonding and Porcelain Veneers

For patients with chipped or slightly cracked teeth, misaligned or misshaped teeth, or teeth that have unsightly gaps, D & G Dental of West Orange offers cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers. With cosmetic bonding, one of our dentists uses the same strong composite resin material used for white fillings to rebuild and sculpt damaged teeth. We’ll select the shade that most closely matches the color of your natural teeth, although you may want to consider teeth whitening before this procedure.

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of dental porcelain that are adhesively bonded to the facial side of teeth in your smile zone, thereby creating an entirely new smile. These veneers not only conceal the imperfections in your smile, they also help shield your teeth from further damage.

Invisalign

If your teeth are crooked, but you don’t want the hassle or the appearance of traditional metal braces, don’t despair. Invisalign clear plastic aligners straighten teeth almost invisibly, as the name suggests. You’ll wear each set in a series of aligners for about two weeks each, removing them only to eat and drink, or brush and floss. After about a year of treatment, you’ll see the straight smile you’ve always wanted.

Solve the Problems Associated with Missing Teeth with Dental Implants in West Orange, NJ

184898853 (1)If you have one or more missing teeth then you know that the consequences can be serious. Most obvious is the effect even one missing tooth can have on your smile. Hard not to notice, isn’t it? Beyond that you may have trouble eating healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and there may even be times when speaking is difficult. If this is you, then you should consider dental implants. These modern dental wonders are the tooth restoration that most closely mimic natural teeth. With dental implants, the dentists at D & G Dental in West Orange, NJ, have restored smiles to patients from throughout Northern New Jersey.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is really made up of two parts: the part you see and the part you don’t. The part you don’t see is a titanium post that is implanted into the jawbone beneath the open socket of your missing tooth. This post fuses with the bone tissue, thereby providing stability and better health. Without a tooth root, the surrounding bone tissue begins to deteriorate, which can cause facial sagging. Dental implants not only provide a permanent tooth replacement, they also prevent this deterioration.

The part of a dental implant that you do see is the crown. After a few months when you’ve healed from the implant surgery, which is performed by our oral surgeon, you’ll return to D & G Dental to have your custom crown cemented into place. The result is a tooth restoration that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth. And with regular brushing and flossing, your dental implant can last a lifetime.

If you are ready to restore your smile with dental implants, then call D & G Dental in West Orange, NJ, today. We also serve patients from the surrounding communities of Livingston, Montclair, Verona and Bloomfield and beyond.

Get Pain Relief with TMJ Therapy in West Orange, NJ

167121308Oh, your aching head, neck, shoulders, jaw and back! Really? Then you need to see the dentist. That may sound strange, but all of those aches and pains could be due to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ. At D & G Dental in West Orange, NJ, our dentists treat these discomforts with TMJ therapy.

You may never have heard of the temporomandibular joints—even though they are positioned on either side of your head just in front of your ears. These joints allow you to open and close your mouth, whether to speak, chew or yawn. Sometimes, however, the function of these joints becomes compromised, thus causing pain and other symptoms including:

  • A clicking or popping sound when you open your mouth
  • Earache or congestion in the absence of infection
  • Bite misalignment
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Swelling on the side of your face

Although TMJ may be caused by traumatic injury to the face or head, the most common circumstance that brings on TMJ dysfunction is an improper bite. A misaligned bite may force the jaw to compensate in order for the upper and lower teeth to fit together. Another cause is nighttime teeth grinding and clenching. This may lead to uneven surfaces on the teeth, which like a misaligned bite, force the jaw out of place.

TMJ Therapy to the Rescue

If nighttime teeth grinding and clenching are part of the problem, then a custom-designed nightguard may go a long way toward eliminating painful symptoms. Worn at night, this oral appliance can reduce stress on the jaw, as well as prevent the excessive wear and tear on teeth that grinding and clenching cause. Additional treatment recommendations may include stress relievers such as exercise, meditation, talk therapy and stretching.

Call Our Office Today

If you suspect that you or a loved one might be dealing with the pain of TMJ dysfunction, then schedule an appointment with D & G Dental in West Orange, NJ. We also conveniently serve patients from Livingston, Montclair, Verona and Bloomfield and surrounding communities.

76132811If you have a phobia about seeing the dentist, fear no more. With sedation dentistry you can recline and relax while those overdue dental treatments are taken care of for you. Dr. Medhat Dawoud and Dr. Ghobadi of D & G Dental of West Orange, NJ, understand the anxiety that dental appointments can generate for some patients. With this in mind, D & G Dental offers the option of sedation dentistry to calm your nerves, ease your fears and make your visit to the dentist a more pleasant experience.

The Types of Sedation Dentistry

D & G Dental offers two types of sedation dentistry. The first is nitrous oxide, which is more commonly known as laughing gas. With this kind of sedation, a small mask is placed over your nose for you to inhale a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen immediately before and during your dental procedure. In a matter of seconds as the nitrous oxide enters your system, you will feel an overall sense of relaxation and well-being. You won’t be unconscious, so the doctor will be able to converse with you. When your treatment is finished, the mask is removed and in a few minutes the gas wears off without any side effects.

The other type of sedation dentistry at D & G Dental is oral conscious sedation, which is typically used for more involved treatments that require more time in the dentist’s chair. In this case you will take an anti-anxiety pill at a prescribed time before your appointment. You’ll arrive at the office feeling much less anxious and far more relaxed. With oral conscious sedation, a friend or family member will need to accompany you to your appointment and take you home.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you’ve been delaying an important dental procedure because visiting the dentist makes you anxious, then call the office of D & G Dental today and ask about sedation dentistry. Dr. Dawoud and Dr. Ghobadi serve patients in West Orange, NJ, Livingston, Montclair, Verona and Bloomfield and the surrounding communities.
