Emergency Dental Services
During a dental emergency, each second counts. Do not delay in seeking care. Instead, contact a dental provider right away. Dental emergencies can include:
- Knocked out or loosened teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Abscessed teeth
- Severe mouth bleeding
- Lost or damaged oral appliances
- Severe dental pain
A qualified dental provider can determine how to handle the emergency. If the issue cannot wait until the next business day, the provider may schedule an after-hours appointment. In some cases, the provider may direct the patient to the nearest emergency room. If a patient needs hospital care, the provider can schedule a follow-up appointment. The dental team provides ongoing care to make sure the issue is resolved.

Routine Checkups and Care
Routine dental checkups and care are an integral part of preventative health. Most people need to see the dentist once or twice per year. However, everyone's needs are different, and some patients need to come in more frequently than others. Here at Dental Cosmetic Center of Piscataway, we can determine each patient's unique needs – and how to accommodate them best. Some higher-risk populations include, but are not limited to:
- Diabetics
- People prone to cavities or excess plaque
- People with gum disease
- People with weak immune systems
- Pregnant women
- Smokers
In any case, everybody should go to the dentist regularly – even if they keep a vigilant oral hygiene regimen. Several dental health issues are virtually invisible to the untrained eye, and our team can help look for problems before they have the chance to worsen. As such, routine checkups and care can save patients money in the long run.

Cosmetic Dental Services
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry that aims to enhance the aesthetics of one's smile. It can benefit patients with broken, chipped, discolored, gapped, misaligned, misshapen, or worn teeth. Popular types of cosmetic dental services include, but are not limited to:
- Dental bonding
- Dental bridges
- Dental crowns
- Dental implants
- Dental veneers
- Inlays and onlays
- Teeth whitening
Additionally, at least one study has shown that patients' feelings of satisfaction with their own smiles are directly linked to feelings of self-confidence. In other words, enhancing one's smile often has the side effect of improving one's overall quality of life. Some cosmetic dental services also have restorative benefits.

Orthodontic Services
Orthodontic services provide both cosmetic and functional purposes. Many patients turn to orthodontics for a straighter smile. Repairing crooked or misaligned teeth can also improve mouth function. Without treatment, some orthodontics issues may place oral health at risk. Fixing these issues ensures that the teeth and gums stay healthy.
Not every dental provider offers orthodontic care. General dentists must undergo specialized training before they can perform orthodontic treatments. Contact our office to learn more about orthodontic services and referrals.

Many dentists have started incorporating new dental technologies into their practices – offering services like laser dentistry, teledentistry, online patient portals, and more. All of these offerings can help expedite the treatment process and increase accessibility.
Other examples of digital dentistry at work include CAD/CAM (computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacture), cone-beam CT, dental lasers, digital X-rays, and optical scanners. These assist dental teams in providing patients with the most accurate diagnoses and best care possible, with the added bonus of extra comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does it matter if my child knocks out a tooth?
A. Yes. Many people mistakenly believe that prematurely losing baby teeth is harmless. In reality, they act as placeholders for the permanent adult teeth, and premature loss can cause tooth crowding and other problems. If your child has lost a baby tooth, preserve the tooth by keeping it moist and get to a dentist right away.
Q. Do I still need to see a dentist if I do not have any signs of dental health problems?
A. Everyone should see a dentist. As mentioned earlier, many potential dental health problems can go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Only a dental professional can ensure that your oral cavity is in good condition and prevent any health problems from developing.
Q. How long do cosmetic dentistry services take?
A. The answer varies on a service-by-service basis. Additionally, some patients choose to take on several cosmetic dentistry procedures for a full "smile makeover." Generally speaking, the more services you choose to take on, the longer it will take.
Q. Is there an ideal age for orthodontic treatment?
A. It is never too late for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment can help improve one's oral health and functionality. However, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have their first checkup with an orthodontist by no later than seven years old.
Q. Are digital dental X-rays safe?
A. Yes. Digital dental X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays and considerably less radiation than all other types of X-rays. Additionally, we will only recommend X-rays if the benefits outweigh the risks.
