A healthy smile is more than just an aesthetic concern; it’s a reflection of your overall well-being. For those dealing with gum disease or tooth loss, the journey toward regaining that smile begins with the right care from a skilled periodontist. With the expertise to address everything from early-stage gum issues to complex implant procedures, a periodontist focuses on preserving the health of your gums and the foundation of your teeth. By choosing a trusted professional, you’re not just treating a problem but investing in long-term oral health and a confident smile.
At Advanced Periodontics of NJ in Saddle Brook, we bring decades of experience and innovation to every patient we treat. Our compassionate approach ensures that each individual receives care tailored to their unique needs. With a commitment to ongoing education and the latest technology, we strive to achieve exceptional outcomes, helping our patients enjoy healthier smiles and improved quality of life.
Why Choose a Periodontist?
Periodontists are specialists in diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease and other conditions affecting the soft tissue and bone structure around your teeth. While a general dentist handles routine dental care, periodontists have advanced training and expertise in treating more complex issues such as gum recession, gum infections, and bone loss.
- Specialized Knowledge: Periodontists undergo additional training beyond dental school, focusing on the health of your gums and bones.
- Experience with Advanced Treatments: From non-invasive laser treatments to surgical procedures, periodontists are skilled in using the latest technology for effective outcomes.
- Focused on Long-Term Health: Periodontists don’t just treat existing problems—they help prevent future issues and work to keep your smile healthy for years to come.
At Advanced Periodontics of N.J., our periodontist, Dr. Matei, has received extensive training and continues to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field. Dr. Matei’s dedication to ongoing education ensures you receive the most innovative and effective care.
Comprehensive Periodontal Services
We offer a full range of periodontal services designed to address your unique needs, whether you’re looking to treat gum disease, improve the appearance of your gums, or restore your smile with dental implants. Here’s an overview of the services we provide:
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, is a common oral health issue that can lead to tooth loss if untreated. We offer both non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, as well as antibiotic therapies to fight infection. For more advanced cases, surgical treatments such as flap surgery or bone grafting may be necessary to restore gum health and strengthen the foundation of your teeth.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can impact both your appearance and functionality. Dental implants are a permanent solution that mimics the natural structure of your teeth, providing a stable and durable replacement.
- Single Tooth Implants: Perfect for replacing one missing tooth, dental implants provide a natural look and feel.
- All-On-X Implants: For patients with significant tooth loss, All-On-X implants use four or more implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Dental implants are a great solution for fixing up the impact of missing teeth, but it’s important to check with your dentists to ensure this is the best route for your smile.
Cosmetic Gum Procedures
Gum health isn’t just about functionality. It’s also about appearance. If you’re unhappy with the way your gums look, we offer various treatments to improve your smile.
- Crown Lengthening: This procedure reshapes the gums and bone to expose more of your teeth, often used for restorative work or to enhance the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
- Gingivectomy: Removal of excess gum tissue to improve gum line balance and health.
- Soft Tissue Grafting: A procedure that helps address gum recession by grafting healthy tissue to areas with exposed tooth roots, reducing sensitivity and improving gum coverage.
Learn more about this treatment’s benefits by asking your dentist to review your treatment options.
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology allows us to treat gum disease and perform other procedures with minimal discomfort, faster healing, and reduced recovery times.
- LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure): This minimally invasive laser treatment targets and removes infected tissue while preserving healthy tissue. It promotes healing and regeneration without the need for cutting or stitches.
- Laser Periodontal Therapy: This treatment removes bacteria and infected tissue, helping reduce gum pocket depth and encouraging healing.
Advanced Periodontics of N.J. is proud to offer laser dentistry, an innovative approach to periodontal treatment.
Bone and Sinus Grafting
Patients considering dental implants may need bone grafting or a sinus lift to help address any lost bone tissue or who need additional bone in the upper jaw for more support.
- Bone Grafting: We use advanced techniques to restore bone lost due to periodontal disease or tooth loss, ensuring you have a solid base for implants.
- Sinus Lift Surgery: This procedure increases the amount of bone in the upper jaw to allow for successful implant placement.
If you have suffered bone loss and still have options to help restore your smile, contact Advanced Periodontics of N.J. to learn more.
