A family dentist treats patients of all ages, from babies whose first teeth have just erupted, to senior citizens. There are a number of advantages to having the entire family treated at the same dental practice. From saving time to preventive care and treatment for hereditary conditions, a good relationship with your dentist is the key to your family's long term oral health. Dr. Steven Abrams, a family dentist in Budd Lake, NJ, offers general and cosmetic dentistry services for patients of all ages.

Family Dentistry Services in Budd Lake, NJ

A family dentist offers the same services as a general dentist without age restrictions. For many families, getting everyone to the dentist for regular check ups and dental cleanings, which the American Dental Association (ADA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends should be done every six months, can be a challenge. Busy and conflicting schedules and needs can make it difficult if not impossible to shuttle family members around to different dentists.

There are several advantages to seeing a family dentist:

Lower or eliminate anxiety/fear of the dentist - establishing an ongoing relationship with a trusted dentist can help to mitigate fears and anxieties associated with dental care, especially for young children

Comprehensive treatment and services - whether you need a dental cleaning, a filling, or a cosmetic treatment like teeth whitening or veneers, a family dentist is your one stop shop for dedicated and effective dental treatment

They know your family history - like other health problems, oral health conditions like gum disease can be genetic and run in families, so working with a dentist that knows your personal risk and predisposition to certain diseases, as well as your families, can make all the difference in the care you receive

Your family's oral health care needs may be somewhat unpredictable, but you can save time and money by scheduling the family's routine and preventive care appointments at the same time.

Have missing teeth? If so, you will most certainly benefit from dental implants from Dr. Steven Abrams in Budd Lake, NJ. After all, these restorations look, feel, and fit into your smile just like natural teeth do, and they can last a lifetime with proper oral care and maintenance. Additionally, unlike some other dental restorations, implants also stimulate bone growth to prevent jawbone loss and facial sagging.

Read on to see what these restorations from our Budd Lake office can do for you!

Benefits of Rebuilding Your Smile with Dental Implants

• Upgrade smile aesthetics
• Improved speech and enunciation.
• The ability for your restorations to last a lifetime
• Enhanced confidence and self-esteem
• Protected facial bone structure

Different Types of Dental Implants

• Endosteal: Typically inserted in the jawbone and made of titanium, these implants are shaped like small screws and are considered the most common type of implant.
• Subperiosteal: Often placed on, above, or in the jawbone, these implants are frequently used for patients who don't have a healthy enough jawbone to undergo the procedure.

The planning process of placing a dental implant requires a thorough evaluation, X-ray screening, and tooth modeling at our Budd Lake office in order to ensure patient comfort. Additionally, prior to surgery, Dr. Abrams will discuss anesthetic options with you in order to determine what will work best for you during the operation. However, regardless of the adminstration route, you can expect to be fully sedated, and therefore you will need a friend or family member to drive you home following treatment.
