Sedation Options for Comfortable Oral Surgeries
Our Little Silver dental office offers safe, conscious sedation dentistry for anxious patients, those with special needs, or who may require oral surgery. During your consultation, Dr. DiBenedetto will review your medical history to create a sedation plan for your needs.
Dental Implants
Are you missing one or more teeth? Dr. DiBenedetto specializes in permanent tooth replacement using dental implants! Implants provide natural-looking, long-lasting results using titanium posts fused to the jawbone, where luminous replacement teeth can attach. They also have no dietary limitations and are built to last for life.
We offer these implant systems at Little Silver Family Dental:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4® Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Dentures
- Overdentures
Bone Grafting
Periodontal disease can damage the jawbone, preventing dental implant placement without treatment. To help you better support a new implant, Dr. DiBenedetto may suggest bone grafting (natural bone regeneration) to stimulate bone growth in the jaw. This specialized treatment promotes optimal jawbone strengthening and growth.
Ridge Augmentation
After a dental extraction, ridge augmentation can graft bone directly into the empty tooth socket. This helps recreate the natural shape of the gum and jaw lost in the extraction procedure. Ridge augmentation prevents jawbone deterioration in extracted areas, enabling future denture use or implants. It's proven to benefit smile health/appearance and confidence. Ridge augmentation can also offer the following benefits:
- Re-establishing the natural bone/gum ridge
- Refining aesthetic appearance
- Increasing jawbone stability for long-term oral health
- Lessening gaps between gums and restorations
Tooth Extractions
Dental extractions address emergencies from trauma/injury or prevent future problems like infections in damaged teeth. Dr. DiBenedetto performs extractions for patients with pain and discomfort or infections from teeth that are too damaged to repair. Sometimes, surgical extraction is necessary, but simple extractions can remove visible teeth. Before any dental extraction is performed, Dr. DiBenedetto offer a complete exam and set of x-rays to design your optimal treatment plan.
Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal treatments in Little Silver, NJ, are designed to treat severe tooth decay or inflammation, while preserving the natural teeth. Root canal therapy targets the decay in the tooth's central pulp, eliminating damage and preventing tooth loss by removing a source of inflammation within the tooth.
After a root canal is completed, the tooth is capped with a new dental crown for protection and stability.
Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include toothache, severe tooth sensitivity, dental abscess and swollen gums. While extraction is an option, root canals are preferred for preserving the tooth's function and avoiding more complex dental procedures.
