General Dentistry
General dentistry refers to the type of dentistry that keeps our patients healthy and restores their oral health. If you are looking for a family dentist, you will likely find what you are looking for in the field of general dentistry.
At the office of Craig S. Weinstein, DMD, we provide the full range of general dentistry services that the families in our Fords, NJ community need to keep their smiles looking and feeling great.
Preventive Dentistry
All healthy smiles begin with an excellent preventive dentistry plan. By investing in your preventive care, you are taking the best step toward preventing serious dental conditions in the future.
Our preventive dental plans are based on each patient’s unique oral health needs.
- Dental exams
- Professional dental cleanings
- Digital dental x-rays
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants
- Athletic mouthguards
- Nightguards
As preventive dental care has improved and increased, most patients are keeping their natural teeth for longer than ever. The patients who maintain their preventive treatment plans are also more likely to avoid painful dental emergencies.
Restorative Dentistry
Chewing delicious food is a tough job! Our teeth sometimes sustain damage due to decay, fractures, or day-to-day wear and tear.
The proper dental restoration can give your tooth a second chance and make it feel more comfortable. We provide our patients with high-quality restorations designed for both durability and esthetics:
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Dental crowns
- Bonding
- Inlays
- Onlays
- Veneers
The dental restoration that will work for you depends on your needs. Dr. Weinstein can discuss all your options with you and help you make a decision you feel confident about. He will go over your choices, the pros and cons of each, and answer all of your questions about your treatment.
Tooth-Replacement Treatment
Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience. We can restore your health and the appearance of your smile with tooth replacement options such as:
- a fixed dental bridge
- Dental implants
- Partial dentures
- Complete dentures
We try to save your natural teeth whenever possible because keeping your natural teeth is best for your health. When tooth loss or extractions occur, however, we can help!
Cosmetic Dentistry
Even if your smile is completely healthy, there may be some things you would like to change about the way it looks. That makes sense since your smile is often the first thing that others notice about you.
A beautiful smile is not out of reach. We offer cosmetic dentistry treatments from simple touch-ups to full smile makeovers that give you a whole new look.
- Professional teeth whitening
- Cosmetic dental bonding
- Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and bridges
- Porcelain veneers
A full smile makeover combines many of our cosmetic dentistry treatment options to design a whole new look for your smile.
