Dental Examination
Routine dental exams are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Additionally, they can help to avoid the financial costs associated with large treatment plans later on. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends twice yearly checkups for people of all ages. At this frequency, most problems can be caught while they remain in an early stage.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening: The face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums will be checked for any signs of oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
Routine dental cleanings are important to maintaining good oral hygiene. Professional cleaning by a hygienist can remove mineralized plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach. It is recommended you go in for a cleaning once every six months.
Fluoride Treatment
When you visit our Fort Lee, New Jersey office, the teeth whitening process we use to brighten your smile will be explained to you in full by our friendly and experienced staff. We will clean your teeth in preparation for the whitening and cover your lips and gums to expose the teeth. Zoom!® 2 whitening gel is carefully applied to the enamel and heated by a special Zoom!® 2 whitening lamp. Together, the whitening gel and light work together to penetrate your teeth, break up stains and discoloration, and allow the natural brilliance of your teeth to shine through. The gel and light will be applied for three 15-minute sessions. After this time, a five-minute fluoride treatment is administered. The end result is brighter, whiter teeth that are free of coffee, tea, soft drink, wine, or tobacco stains.
Dental Sealants

Fillings
When treating a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and fill it with another substance. This procedure is called a filling. There are multiple options for the material to be used in the filling, the most common of which are composite fillings and amalgam fillings.
Resin Composite
Dental inlays and onlays are a more conservative approach to tooth restoration than full crowns. The are used to repair rear teeth that have mild to moderate tooth decay, or for cracked teeth where the damage does not warrant a dental crown. Porcelain, composite resin and sometimes gold is used to create inlays and onlays. Inlays refer to those procedures where the bonded material is limited to the center of the tooth, while onlays refer to those procedures where the bonded material can extend further to one or more cusps of the tooth.
Veneers
The first step to treatment is scheduling a consultation with one of our dentists at Anderson Dental. Dr. Dennis Walker or Dr. Rika Furukawa will examine your teeth and determine whether you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. We may take x-rays and impressions of your teeth at this time, or you may decide to wait until a later visit for us to do so.
Crowns
Compared to fillings which just cover a small portion of a tooth, a crown (or cap) encases the entire visible portion of a tooth. In effect, the crown acts as the tooth's new outer surface.A dental crown is used when a tooth is broken or decayed to such an extent that fillings aren't able to repair the problem. The crown is able to provide a protective shell around the damaged or decayed tooth to strengthen it, as well as to improve the appearance of the tooth. They can also help restore a tooth to it's original shape, are used commonly for teeth that have been broken. While crowns come in different materials, the most common crowns typically have some mixture of porcelain in them to give them a look and feel similar to a natural tooth.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a false tooth that is used to fill the gap created by a missing tooth or teeth. A gap between your teeth can be potentially dangerous to your dental health, as it can cause your teeth to shift resulting in...
Dental Bonding
Dental Bonding is a restoration procedure in which a tooth-colored resin is bonded to a tooth and cured with an ultraviolet light. Bonding is faster and less expensive than veneers or crowns, and can thus be a good option to make small cosmetic improvements to your teeth. Unlike veneers and crowns, bonding can be done within one office visit since nothing has to be custom made by a dental laboratory. Additionally, the procedure typically requires removing less of the tooth enamel compared to veneers and crowns. However, since bonding typically doesn’t last as long as other forms of restoration and is less resistant to stains, it is used more often for small cosmetic touch ups rather than major restorations.

We serve patients in Fort Lee, New Jersey and surrounding areas, providing cutting-edge procedures to correct dental flaws and return functionality to the teeth.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is treatment used to repair and save a tooth that has been infected due to a deep cavity or cracked tooth. The treatment involves removing the pulp and the nerves of the tooth and cleaning the infected area. A tooth's pulp and nerve are not important to a tooth's health and function after the tooth has fully emerged from the gums. If the treatment is not performed, bacteria builds up at the root tip and the infection of the pulp can spread to the surrounding bone. The results in pain and swelling and your tooth would likely have to be removed.

Dentures
Dentures are often used in more severe cases of tooth loss. A partial denture can replace a greater number of missing teeth, while a full denture can replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Traditional dentures form a seal with the gum line so that they sit comfortably and remain strong and secure enough to restore full oral functions for a patient. Dentures are personalized by size, shape, and aesthetics so that patients can enjoy a strong, comfortable, and attractive smile. Many patients prefer dentures because they are an affordable and non-invasive treatment for missing teeth.

Dental Implants
Because the placement of dental implants is a surgical procedure, it does carry a degree of risk. These include bleeding, infection, and injury to the nerves or sinuses. Your dentist will take X-rays to prevent these injuries. In less than 10 percent of dental implant recipients, the implants can fail to bond with the surrounding bone. Implant failure is usually detected during the second surgery, at which point a replacement may be inserted.

Orthodontics
Do you wish you could improve your smile by covering chips, fixing misalignment, and masking stains? If so, you may want to consider porcelain veneers, available at our office serving residents of New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. Porcelain veneers cover the front side of the tooth with a thin porcelain shell to conceal discoloration and chips. They can also quickly eliminate gaps between the teeth, a benefit which leads many to refer to them as “instant orthodontics.” There’s truth to the nickname. Porcelain veneers are often an efficient and effective alternative to traditional braces, which are worn for months on end and require many visits to the orthodontist. In just three quick trips to our office in Fort Lee, New Jersey, we can place porcelain veneers and give you the brilliant smile you deserve.
Invisalign Orthodontics
The Invisalign® process begins with a consultation, during which our team will determine whether you are a candidate for treatment. If you are, you will return for a second visit, in which we will take molds of your mouth. We will send the molds to the Invisalign® laboratory, where lab technicians will use them to create your first set of trays. The technicians will use advanced computer software to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish. You will pick up your first set of trays from our office and wear them as directed (removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss). The lab will send each successive set of trays to your residence; simply change out the trays as they arrive. Patients who wear the trays properly may obtain results in as little as 18 months.
Braces
Anderson Dental is pleased to provide Invisalign® treatment to patients from Fort Lee, New Jersey and surrounding areas. Our team has helped numerous patients achieve beautiful, balanced smiles with the Invisalign® system, a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign® often appeals to patients who want to straighten their teeth without cumbersome, conspicuous brackets and wires - just one of the many benefits of this remarkable cosmetic dentistry option. To learn more about Invisalign® and whether you may be a candidate for treatment, contact our office today.
