Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The doctor will perform an oral exam to diagnose your oral health issue and propose a treatment plan as soon as possible. Our priority is to treat your pain with medication and antibiotics in case of infection.
• X-rays
  Routine dental visits are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. They generally include thorough teeth cleaning, oral exam, and dental x-rays. By getting regular dental care, you can help keep your mouth healthy and prevent serious problems from developing.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Your oral health is essential to us, and our team in Sea Girt is committed to helping you achieve and maintain optimal dental health.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Gingivitis is the early stage of periodontal disease characterized by red, swollen, or bleeding gums. Gingivitis is a reversible condition – with proper oral hygiene and professional dental cleanings.
• Fluoride Treatment
  We believe that good dental health is essential for everyone in the family. That’s why we offer comprehensive dental services for all ages, from preventative care and exams to x-rays and fluoride treatments. Our family dentistry services also include oral health education for children and adults.
• Dental Sealants
  Glass ionomer fillings are made of a glass powder and acrylic resin mixture and can be used in both primary teeth (baby teeth) and permanent teeth. They are often used in small cavities, as a sealant on the chewing surface, or up near the gumline. Glass ionomer fillings slowly release fluoride to help protect the remaining tooth structure from future damage or tooth decay. However, because they are less durable than other options, these fillings are typically used to treat baby teeth or as temporary fillings.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Recent advances in dental technology have resulted in durable and tooth-colored materials used for fillings in teeth. Unlike the metal or amalgam fillings of the past, the modern fillings we offer are safe, long-lasting, and blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Resin Composite
  Composite resin fillings bind and adhere to the remaining natural tooth structure, which helps seal and strengthen the tooth underneath. This means less of the natural tooth needs to be removed for placement.
• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available today. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers can help improve the color, shape, and size of your smile, and they can also be used to close spaces between teeth.

• Bridges
  Dental bridges are a popular method we use to restore smiles. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth or artificial teeth used to fill in the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are a popular option for many people because they are strong and durable, and they can help restore both the function and the appearance of your smile.
• Dental Bonding
  Composite fillings, also known as “tooth-colored fillings” or “white fillings,” are the most popular type of dental filling on the market. Made of a biocompatible plastic resin that is finely ground and blended, these fillings can be matched almost identically to the color of your natural teeth. Not only can this filling material offer excellent durability and be used in small to medium-sized cavities, but it’s also used in dental bonding to improve the color or shape of a tooth, mask defects, or close minor gaps between teeth.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dentistry is a branch of dental care that focuses on repairing and replacing teeth that have been injured or impacted by disease. Our restorative dentists use various techniques and materials to restore teeth to their original function and appearance. In many cases, restorative treatment can also help improve the mouth’s overall health by preventing any more damage to the teeth and gum tissue.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  If your teeth have been badly damaged due to gum or periodontal disease, we can help restore your smile to its original, healthy state. We offer several procedures to restore damaged teeth, including root canal therapy. We also provide periodontal maintenance therapy. In addition to deep cleanings to fix periodontal disease, we'll help educate you on how to best care for your teeth so you can develop long-lasting oral hygiene habits.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  When it comes to your teeth, it’s crucial to fix problems before they have a chance to develop into something serious. That’s why we offer a variety of restorative dental treatments that can save teeth that have been damaged from gum disease or periodontal disease. Root canal therapy is one such treatment that can save an infected tooth from decay. We also offer periodontal maintenance therapy, a type of deep cleaning done below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Having a healthy smile is important for self-confidence. Tooth loss can take a toll on your smile. If you’re missing one or more teeth, dentures may be an option. Dentures are used to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  We offer dental implants as a way to restore your smile if you're missing one or more teeth. Dental implant surgery involves placing posts into the jawbone, which become artificial tooth roots. These fixtures hold permanent replacement teeth that look and feel just like natural teeth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Strong, healthy teeth are an essential asset, both functionally and aesthetically. Dental implants are a great permanent solution for tooth replacement if you are missing one or more teeth. Oral surgery is a big commitment, so our dentist will talk you through the process during a consultation appointment so you can make informed decisions about your dental health.
• Flap Surgery
  A surgical procedure known as flap surgery is frequently recommended in many cases. This surgery involves lifting back the diseased gum tissue around the gum line to access the roots of the teeth and clean out any tartar or plaque that has accumulated. The healthy gum tissue is then sutured back into place.
• Gum Surgery
  At Platinum Dental Group, we offer a variety of periodontal treatments depending on the stage of your disease. We may recommend professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene habits for those in the early stages. If your condition is more severe, we recommend more aggressive treatments like scaling and root planing or gum surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  In most cases, we will work to save a primary tooth. However, there are occasions when it is in the patient’s best interest to perform tooth extractions. This could be due to extended retention of the primary tooth, which can crowd and damage the permanent teeth trying to come in. Additionally, if the primary tooth is so decayed that it is beyond repair or if it has been damaged, a dental extraction may be recommended.
