Preventive & Family Dentistry in Newark

The foundation of a great smile is good oral health, and that starts with preventive care. Our clinic provides family dentistry to help patients of all ages stay healthy and cavity-free. Regular checkups, cleanings, and exams catch issues early and keep your teeth and gums strong. We make routine visits comfortable and informative, so you feel confident caring for your smile at home.

In addition to preventive care, we handle the full range of general dental treatments right here in Newark. If you’re nervous about a procedure, our gentle approach and effective numbing will keep you comfortable during fillings, extractions, and other treatments. Whether it’s a toddler’s first dental visit or your own checkup, we treat every patient with personal, top-notch care.

  • Routine exams & cleanings: Keep your teeth and gums healthy with twice-yearly visits.
  • Tooth-colored fillings: Repair cavities with natural-looking composite material that blends with your teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry: Brighten your smile with professional whitening or minor fixes like bonding and veneers.

Orthodontics for Straighter Teeth (Braces & Invisalign)

Crooked teeth can hurt your confidence and your oral health. That’s why we offer orthodontic services in Newark, including braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. You won’t need a separate specialist – our in-house orthodontist straightens smiles for kids, teens, and adults right here.

For reliable correction of crooked or crowded teeth, modern braces are more comfortable and effective than ever at fixing alignment and bite issues. If you prefer a discreet option, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without the need for metal braces – perfect for adults or image-conscious teens. We plan every treatment with advanced 3D imaging to ensure your results are precise and long-lasting, whether you choose braces or aligners.

Having an orthodontist under the same roof is a huge convenience for our patients. You can get adjustments or new aligners without driving all over town. In the end, you’ll enjoy a straight, healthy smile that’s easy to keep clean.

Dental Implants & Tooth Replacement

Missing teeth can make everyday life difficult, but our clinic specializes in dental implants as a permanent solution. A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces a tooth’s root, topped with a custom crown – it looks, feels, and works just like a natural tooth. With implants, you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Dr. Bernstein and our team have advanced training in implant dentistry, so you can have the entire procedure and follow-up care done in one place. Using digital imaging and careful planning, we customize each treatment to your needs. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, we’ll create a personalized plan to restore your smile. Our modern techniques make the implant process smooth and comfortable. Plus, dental implants help prevent jawbone loss over time, keeping your jaw healthy.

We also offer other restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, and dentures to rebuild your smile. Our goal is to help you regain a complete, confident smile.

Gum Disease Treatment & Periodontal Care

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. If your gums bleed when brushing, feel tender, or are receding, you might have gum disease. The good news is we have a skilled periodontist on staff who treats gum issues right here in Newark.

If we detect signs of gum infection, we perform a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar under the gum line and help your gums heal. We may also use antibiotic therapy or medicated rinses to fight bacteria and reduce inflammation.

For advanced cases, we might perform laser therapy or gum surgery, using minimally invasive techniques to keep you comfortable. By treating gum disease promptly, we help Newark patients avoid tooth loss and keep their gums healthy. We’ll also help you maintain healthy gums after treatment.

Comfortable Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)

When a toothache strikes or a tooth gets infected, a root canal can relieve the pain and save your tooth. Our experienced endodontist performs root canals with a gentle touch, so you get relief without anxiety. If you’re suffering from a throbbing tooth, we can often see you quickly and treat it in-house – no need to visit another office.

During a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean the tooth’s interior, and seal it to prevent reinfection. Thanks to modern anesthesia, a root canal today is usually as comfortable as getting a filling. Afterward, we protect the tooth with a crown to restore its strength. Best of all, you get to keep your natural tooth while eliminating the pain.
