The American Dental Association recommends that dental visits should be done at least every six months. This, however, holds for those who do not have special concerns. Some people require more frequent visits to their dentist in Sullivan & Turner, LLC, our Camden County, NJ, or Somerdale, NJ, offices, Dr. Joseph Sullivan, Dr. Jeff Turner, or Dr. Raj Darji. This is especially true if they are undergoing restorative dentistry procedures. But what is restorative dentistry and how can it help you?

Restorative Dentistry

This encompasses procedures that are designed to ease pain and bring comfort to those who are experiencing oral problems. It is consistently gaining popularity because of its ability to replace lost or damaged teeth. Dental veneers, fillings, dental crowns, and dental bridges all fall under restorative dentistry procedures.

When going through these procedures, the expectation is that normal oral functions will be restored and the associated pain eliminated. So how do you know if you qualify for restorative dentistry procedures? The quick answer is that it depends on the current state of health of your gums and teeth, including the type of restorative procedure you want to get done. Your dentist in our Camden, NJ, or Somerdale, NJ, office is in the best position to establish the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

What to Expect with Restorative Dentistry Treatments

Eliminate Dental Discomfort

A cracked or chipped tooth is annoying at the very least. Worse, it can bring pain and expose your mouth to unhygienic conditions. The longer the problem is left unattended, the worse the condition becomes, until infection inevitably sets in.

Restorative dentistry can preempt all of these problems and bring almost instantaneous comfort. Patching up any damage will breathe new life to your teeth and the restoration of their function and strength.

Prevent Tooth Movement

What is wrong with moving or shifting teeth? This condition could lead to aesthetic and medical problems later on. This translates not only to more oral health problems but also to more expenses. Prompt action, on the other hand, will prevent any oral issue from worsening and improve the chances of saving your tooth with the least expense possible.

Improved Dental Structure

If you lose a tooth, your gums also lose their support. This puts the entire support structure of your mouth in peril, allowing your jawbone to weaken and deteriorate. As the condition progresses, you will see that it will not only affect your mouth but also the entire structure of your face as it begins to sag and collapse on itself, giving you an aged look.

Through restorative dentistry by your Camden County dentist, solutions like dental implants can ensure that your jawbone remains strong to provide ample support to your mouth and face. It also gives you a permanent long-term solution that will protect your natural teeth.

Caring for your teeth daily is a great method to preserve your smile. Sullivan & Turner LLC offer cosmetic and preventive dentistry, serving Somerdale, NJ, and Medford, NJ. We can show you the importance of a good oral care routine and how to get the best results from procedures such as teeth whitening and dental implants.

A thorough, simple dental care routine is an effective strategy to preserve oral health and avoid periodontal disease:

Avoid sugar

When sugar consumption is left unchecked, decay and pain will cause a range of dental ailments in the future. Tooth pain can be quite uncomfortable, making it difficult to eat, to smile, and to speak.

Brush each day

Brush your teeth twice daily. Make sure to brush your teeth along the gum line. Brushing for two minutes each time you brush removes the stubborn bacteria that adhere to the teeth after food consumption.

Regular cleansing of the teeth helps remove stains that accumulate on the enamel. For stubborn stains, veneers offered by your Camden County, NJ area dentist are a great option.

Don’t smoke

Avoid painful tooth decay, the need for dentures, and oral cancer by not smoking. Smoking and other tobacco products leave residue in your lungs and along your teeth. These residues can cause staining and tooth loss. We also offer Zoom whitening for stains.

Clean in between teeth

Floss between the teeth daily. Sometimes your toothbrush can not reach between, leaving food particles behind. This debris contributes to the formation of decay and unpleasant breath. Flossing prevents gingivitis and periodontitis that ruin tooth and gum health.

Next to natural teeth, dental implants are the best tooth option. The main reason for this is that implants possess a natural feel, look, and functionality, just like real teeth. To see if you can benefit from this procedure, you can consult one of the dentists here at Sullivan & Turner LLC in Camden County, NJ, Dr. Joseph E. Sullivan, Dr. Jeffrey R. Turner, or Dr. Raj V. Darji.

Dental Implants

What exactly are dental implants? These are permanent tooth replacements that deliver a strong foundation for the tooth. They are fixed so there is no need to remove them when eating or cleaning. An implant is designed to look like your natural teeth so it becomes almost undetectable. At the moment it is one of the more widely pursued dental tooth replacement options because of its 98% success rate. When properly placed and maintained, these dental implants will last for the rest of your life.

Do You Want to Improve Your Appearance?

You can benefit from dental implants if you need to improve your tooth-loss-affected-appearance. This is because one of the major benefits of this dental procedure is the preservation of the jawbone from deterioration.

Missing teeth damage the jawbone and lead to rapid deterioration. This directly affects your facial structure because your lips will begin to fold in, the lower face shrivels, and wrinkles will begin to develop around your mouth. A single missing tooth is all it takes to start the process, but you can avert it by receiving dental implants.

Do You Have Health Issues Associated with Failing Teeth?

Another good reason to receive dental implants is that it helps to improve your oral health. Periodontal disease, inflammatory diseases, and bacteria-induced infection can all be reduced by simply improving oral health. It has been established that periodontal disease also leads to strokes, Alzheimer’s, chronic diseases, and heart attacks.

By improving your oral health with dental implants, you reduce your risk of being affected by these diseases.

Do You Want to Improve Your Overall Quality of Life?

When you are having difficulty performing simple and routine things like eating and smiling, your life suffers. Waning confidence, discomfort, and other physical/mental conditions begin to set in. You can expect a significant improvement in your quality of life with dental implants, as they:

• Help improve your eating habits
• Never move out of your mouth when you speak or eat
• Look completely natual

Do you have a few smile imperfections? A visit to the Somerdale or Medford offices of your Camden County, NJ, dentists, Dr. Joseph Sullivan, Dr. Jeffrey Turner and Dr. Raj Darji of Sullivan & Turner, can help you improve your smile issues. The dentists offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments, ranging from tooth-colored fillings to veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry treatments improve and enhance your smile

Depending on the type of dental issue, your dental appointment may include one or more these treatments, whether you visit the Somerdale or Medford office:

• Tooth-Colored Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings are designed to blend in with the color of your teeth. They're made of composite resin, a durable material that's tinted to match common tooth shades. Tooth-colored fillings not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also help strengthen them.
• Veneers: Minor dental imperfections don't require major dental treatments, thanks to versatile veneers. Made of porcelain or plastic, the thin shells are attached to the front surfaces of teeth only. Before you receive your veneers, your dentist may need to remove a tiny amount of tooth enamel to ensure a comfortable fit. Veneers conceal uneven surfaces, cracks, chips, gaps and discolorations, length teeth and improve their shape. They can also whiten your smile.
• Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening removes stubborn stains from your teeth in under an hour. Hydrogen peroxide gel bleaches away dullness and stains, leaving your teeth up to eight shades whiter. After the gel is applied to your teeth, it's exposed to a special light that helps the gel penetrate your tooth enamel quickly.

Boost your smile with cosmetic dental treatments. Schedule an appointment with your dentists in Camden County New Jersey, Drs. Sullivan, Turner and Darji of Sullivan and Turner. Call (856) 784-3440 to schedule an appointment in the Somerdale or Medford office.

Hide flaws in your teeth and get the smile you want with veneers.

If you are looking for a simple solution for reshaping and improving the overall shape and size of your smile then you may be wondering whether dental veneers are right for you. Here in Camden County, NJ, our dentists Dr. Joseph Sullivan, Dr. Jeffrey Turner and Dr. Raj Darji offer a wide range of cosmetic treatments including dental veneers. Dental veneers may be a great option for you if you have,

• Severe discolorations
• Chips and cracks in your teeth
• You have excessively worn teeth
• Misshapen, malformed or unevenly shaped teeth
• Slightly crooked teeth or you have gaps between teeth
• Teeth that are too short or you have a gummy smile

Veneers have the ability to completely alter the shape, length, color and alignment of one or more teeth. A veneer is designed to cover the front of a single tooth with a thin layer of enamel-like porcelain, which is not only extremely durable but also stain resistant.

By bonding this very thin layer of porcelain to the tooth, our Camden County cosmetic dentists can change the way your smile looks. Veneers are popular because they can produce incredible and significant results without having to undergo extensive tooth preparation and reshaping.

Veneers add another layer onto the front of your teeth, so teeth that have been worn down over time due to teeth grinding could benefit from getting veneers. Of course, to prevent additional wear and tear on your veneers we will also want to make sure that teeth grinding (known as bruxism) is being properly addressed prior to getting veneers.

What are the benefits of dental veneers?

Getting veneers can offer a wide range of benefits including,

• A boost to your confidence
• Takes years off your appearance
• Gives you natural and permanent results
• Can fix common flaws
• Can make teeth look significantly whiter
• Stain-resistant
• A conservative cosmetic treatment

Are you looking for a dentist that can give you the perfect set of veneers to enhance your appearance? If so, call Sullivan & Turner in Camden County, NJ today at (856) 784-3440.
