- Dental ExaminationAt the initial appointment, we will complete an in-depth medical and dental health history. A thorough periodontal exam will be conducted to evaluate bone loss, periodontal pocketing, loose teeth, bite, temperomandibular joint and other signs of periodontal disease. In addition, an oral cancer screening will be performed. This exam will be as gentle as possible with little or no discomfort. Dr. Chadda will address your specific needs and considerations. We will also review the diagnostic findings along with treatment and fees.

- VeneersCrown lengthening is a procedure to remove the excess gum tissue, exposing more of the “crown” of the tooth. The gum line is then sculpted (or sutured) to create the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface. This sets the stage, allowing your new veneers or crowns to have the correct length and shape. Crown lengthening may be necessary when there is not enough tooth structure left on a tooth to support a new crown or if there is decay below the gumline. Your dentist may request that this procedure is done prior to the fabrication of your new restoration.
- CrownsIf your teeth look too short and your smile is too gummy or your gums cover too much of some teeth while leaving the others the right length then crown lengthening might be the answer for you. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the tooth. Then your gumline is sculpted to give your new smile just the right look.

- DenturesA dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place, or to provide support for a denture. A dental implant is a small “anchor” made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. When the surrounding bone has attached to the implant, a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant. Dental implants look, feel and function like your own natural teeth.

- Oral SurgeryThere are many reasons we may find ourselves in need of oral surgery. While the word surgery may bring to mind long procedures, painful recovery periods, and the need to travel for such a specialty, this is no longer the case. To make this decision even easier, we offer many oral surgery options right in Basking Ridge.
- Jaw SurgeryCorrective Jaw Surgery: Sometimes our jaws just don’t align in a way that is comfortable or healthy for our teeth. Oral surgery is a trouble-free solution to this nagging issue.
- Tooth ExtractionsDental extractions mean removing the tooth from its place in the bone. Extractions are done in dental offices by the dentist or dental surgeon (a dentist with surgery specialization), under local or general anesthesia. Professional extractions are recommended when the tooth decay is severe, and nothing can be done to save the tooth, when the tooth is affected by infection or is vulnerable to infection, because of gum disease or a health condition.
- Ridge AugmentationA procedure called ridge augmentation can fill in this “defect”, recapturing the natural contour of your gums and jaw. A new tooth can then be created that is natural looking, easy-to-clean and beautiful.
- Bone GraftingYour bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth. When you have periodontal disease, this supporting tissue and bone is destroyed and pockets develop. Eventually, if too much bone is lost, the teeth will need to be extracted.
