Exceptional, Experienced Dental Care
Dr. Raj Upadya is a Dawson dentist. As the director of the Dawson Academy’s Northeast location, Dr. Upadya has the experience to provide high-quality care to all dental patients. He practices the principles of complete dentistry. When he provides dental treatment, he not only focuses on visual dental problems but finds the underlying cause of these problems.
Taking a comprehensive approach to dental treatment allows Dr. Upadya to treat his patients thoroughly. He will consider medical problems, medications, and health issues that may have links to your dental concerns. Dr. Upadya understands that your oral health is linked to your overall health.
Why Preventative Dental Care is Essential
Regular visits to your dentist are essential for keeping up good oral health. We recommend that you visit the dentist at least every six months. At these appointments, you’ll get a thorough dental cleaning with tools that can reach places your toothbrush may not reach.
First, one of our hygienists will use a dental mirror for a visual exam. They will look for signs of gum and tooth damage and infection. Then, they will scale the teeth and gums, removing bacteria buildup from the mouth. Next, our hygienists will thoroughly brush and floss your teeth.
You’ll also get a complete oral exam. A dental professional may be able to see signs of issues that you don’t notice. We’ll look for any signs of gum disease or oral cancer. When we screen for gum disease, we look for bleeding, irritated, red, and inflamed gum tissue. We will also measure your gum pockets with a dental probe.
When we look for signs of oral cancer, we look for white and red patches in the mouth, tenderness in your neck, and mouth sores. If you have mouth sores that will not go away, please let us know at your visit. This may be a sign of oral cancer.
At regular visits, we use X-rays to check for cavities or tooth decay. The earlier can detect these issues, the less invasive and more comfortable the treatment will be. Digital X-rays help us fully view what we cannot see with a quick visual exam. We can see the soft tissues, jaw, and the nerves within each tooth.
X-rays are also valuable to treatment planning. If we find a dental problem or if you come to our office with a concern, we can determine the right treatment for you based on your X-rays.
Complete Dental Implant Services
A unique feature of our practice is that we can provide complete dental implant services in-house. Our dentists have had extensive training in the placement and care of dental implants. We’ve also invested in quality technology to improve the dental implant process. Quality surgical equipment allows patients to feel less pain and experience less swelling and bleeding.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that can replace one or more lost teeth. They can secure single crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Whether you want a single dental implant or multiple, everything can be done in our office. We also offer implant-supported dentures and All On Four for full-mouth restorations. While many dental offices have to consult with local surgeons for the implantation process, we can do everything in one place with our staff.
Restorative And Cosmetic Dental Treatments
In addition to the services already mentioned, we offer significant cosmetic and restorative dentistry. No matter how well we take care of our teeth, chips, breaks, and cavities can happen. Restorative dentistry is here to help with that damage and restore your smile to its original state.
TMJ disorders can come when you’re under a lot of stress. Your imbalanced bite can impact your overall oral health, too. The pressure of your bite can be distributed unevenly, leading to cracks or breaks in teeth that are taking on extra pressure. We can help realign your bite, as well as use things like dental crowns to fix the damaged teeth.
While many people think that cosmetic dentistry is just about looks, it also helps your oral health. Straightening crooked teeth especially can improve overall oral health. Crooked teeth are harder to clean, making you more likely to experience tooth decay and gum disease. You may also experience increased wear and tear on certain teeth.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment we offer to lift tooth stains. We offer Zoom teeth whitening in our Livingston, NJ dental office. This treatment uses whitening gel with higher concentrations of active ingredients like hydrogen peroxide to bleach the teeth.
In addition to cosmetic dentistry, we have offerings to help enhance your beautiful smile. Dentists have experience in the musculoskeletal structure of the face and perform precision treatments every day. As a result, our dentists are the perfect candidates to learn how to provide injectables.
We offer Botox and dermal fillers to help with wrinkles and smile lines that may make you self-conscious about showing off your smile. You can complete your smile makeover with these treatments that are a part of esthetic dentistry.
