Friends relaxing together after dentistry session at Randolph,NJ The treatments we offer in general dentistry are the foundation for a healthy smile. Prevention, including checkups and teeth cleanings, help us stay ahead of problems that can creep up on you like cavities and gum disease. Restorative dentistry such as tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants help rebuild your smile if you do experience a problem.

The Role Your General Dentist Plays

Your general dentist in Randolph plays a similar role to your primary physician; he oversees all your oral health needs and is the first person you contact if you have a dental problem.

Dentistry has evolved significantly since Dr. Kaplan started practicing in 2001. He stays current with advances in dental materials, technology, and techniques so that he can bring you the highest quality dental care.

At Randolph Dental Associates, we are pleased to offer general dentistry for patients of all ages, including:

Dental exams and cleanings
Digital x-rays as needed
Tooth-colored fillings
Crowns and dental bridges
Gum disease treatment
Emergency dentistry
Root canal treatment
Tooth extraction

If you follow through with routine exams and cleanings and brush and floss your teeth conscientiously, you may never need our other services. This may seem like a perfect-world scenario, but a healthier smile is much easier to achieve and maintain than many people think.

Your Dentistry, Your Way

No two smiles are alike, so we offer high-quality dentistry that is individualized for your needs. Some patients require only routine dental exams and cleanings, while others may have more extensive needs such as fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures, or dental implants.

Whatever your needs are and however long it’s been since your last appointment, you can rest assured that our only goal is to help you achieve a healthier smile. If we find cavities and broken or missing teeth, Dr. Kaplan will use visual aids like x-rays and intraoral cameras to show you why he recommends treatment.

You will appreciate having a dentist in Randolph who is happy to answer your questions and carefully explain your treatment options. We will guide you, but the final decision is always yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why might a dentist recommend a dental crown?

A dentist might recommend a dental crown because the structure of the remaining tooth is too damaged and compromised for other dental solutions like fillings to solve.

Usually, if the tooth is too severely damaged or decayed to be structurally sound, a filling won't provide enough stability, so your dentist is forced to look at other solutions.

What Is a Crown?

Rather than removing the whole tooth, the dentist will preserve the root to keep the jaw healthy and support the crown.

After performing a smile procedure to remove enough tooth structure to make space for a crown, the dentist places a tooth crown on top. This tooth crown closely matches the shape, size, and color of your other teeth.

The crown will function like a regular tooth. The crown protects the tooth and the structure below it from further damage that might have been caused if the existing damage was left alone.

Randolph, NJ Dental Crown Dentists

Randolph Dental Associates is happy to provide you with a consultation appointment to thoroughly investigate your oral health so that we can come up with a treatment plan. If you need a crown or are just looking to get a smile, contact us today.

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

At Randolph Dental Associates, we celebrate that each of our patients is unique and recognize your individual needs when it comes to your dental health. You might hear a buzz about seeing your dentist twice yearly as a hard and fast rule, but it’s just not that simple.

Personalized Dental Cleaning Schedule

For some healthy patients, twice-yearly dental cleanings are enough. You can have your regular clean, polish, and checkup and maintain a healthy smile. But for many patients, twice a year is just not enough. Here are some instances when you might need to see your Randolph dentist more frequently.

You build tartar fast
You are managing gum disease
You are aging
You have limited mobility

Gum Disease Treatment

Conditions such as gum disease may mean that you need to have dental cleanings three, four, or more times a year to prevent reinfection. While it may seem like many visits, your gums are more prone to infection once you have had advanced gum disease.

More than half of American adults have some form of gum disease, and without intervention, it can progress and lead to tooth loss and impact your heart, lungs, and even brain health. Our elderly patients need more attention because dental health declines with age.

Some people build tartar more than others. If you brush and floss diligently but still feel tartar building up on your teeth, having it removed can prevent it from irritating the gums and leading to gum disease. It will also keep your smile looking and feeling fresh.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a tooth replacement option that addresses either one or a few missing teeth adjacent to each other. The Randolph Dental Associates team will evaluate your smile in order to recommend the best choice, so you don’t have to live with the problems caused by missing teeth.

Our goal is to help you enjoy life with a complete smile, a nutritious diet, and better oral health for life.

Replace Missing Teeth with a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge usually functions by attaching to the natural teeth on either side of the missing tooth gap. Those teeth should be healthy enough to support your bridge. One way we can improve their stability is by placing a dental crown on one or both of those supporting teeth. This crown is made from high-quality porcelain and provides an excellent anchor for your dental bridge.

What Are the Components of a Dental Bridge?

When your natural teeth are prepared, your dental bridge comprises two major parts. First, the section which attaches to your existing teeth is a lightweight yet robust framework. Connected to this structure are the dental crown or crowns, which look like the teeth they replace.

With proper care and check-ins with your Randolph dentist, your dental bridge may restore your oral health for many years to come.

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays

We use digital x-rays at Randolph Dental Associates because they are safer for our patients, provide highly-accurate images, are easy to refer to, and are better for the environment.

The biggest benefit of digital x-rays is that they emit about 80 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays. They are also an invaluable tool that we use to keep you informed about your oral health. We take the x-ray using comfortable digital sensors that don’t poke into your mouth. Dr. Kaplan displays the resulting image on your chairside monitor and reviews it with you. He can point out problems like cavities so you can see the problem with your own eyes and understand why you need treatment.

Digital Sensors

Dental x-rays are essential, so we want to make the process of obtaining the images as simple as possible. We use state-of-the-art digital sensors that capture highly-detailed pictures of your teeth, so Dr. Kaplan can see what’s happening inside your teeth. Taking x-rays using digital sensors is comfortable because they are flat with rounded edges, and fit comfortably in your mouth.

Nitrous Oxide

One of the safest, gentlest ways to relax and get quality dental care is nitrous oxide sedation that many people refer to as "laughing gas." Nitrous is strong enough to help you relax, but it's so mild that it produces no drowsy after-effects.

Since nitrous oxide is a gas, it's delivered through a small nasal mask. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and inhale normally. In a few minutes, you'll feel a warm and calming sensation wash over you that will help you relax but will not put you to sleep. The activity around you will fade into the background, but you will be alert and awake enough to communicate with our team during treatment.

We'll stop the flow of nitrous and switch to pure oxygen that you inhale until the drowsy sensations disappear. You will be able to drive yourself home safely from your appointment and resume your usual activities, feeling alert and refreshed.
