Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  IV sedation is available for virtually any procedure you might need to undergo at your dentist’s office, from oral surgery to routine examinations and cleanings. Sedation is safe for most patients, but your dentist will check your medical history and any medications you’re currently taking to make sure that it’s the right choice for you.
• X-rays
  We use the CariVu as an adjunct to dental X-rays. The CariVu camera is an easy diagnostic device to detect cavities, lesions and cracks. The CariVu camera hugs each tooth one by one and shines a safe near infrared light into it using transillumination and no radiation. This makes the enamel transparent while porous lesions (cavities) trap and absorb the light (essentially creating a shadow where there is decay). This is especially helpful if a suspicious area is noted on an X-ray between the teeth. The CariVu can help determine if immediate treatment is necessary or not. Although this technology is of great value in diagnosing early decay between the teeth, it will not detect cavities under crowns and large metal fillings the way digital imaging can.
• Oral Cancer Screening
  Dr. Ufberg is highly interested in continuing dental education in order to expand his professional knowledge and continues to learn all he can about the ever evolving world of Dentistry. He has been certified and trained in such techniques as the CERINATE No-Drilling Veneers, Invislaign Zoom! Teeth Bleaching, Vizilite Oral Cancer Screening, Camlog Implant Surgical Placement and Restoration, LVI Endodontics, and other Cosmetic and Implant procedures.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  A sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of a permanent tooth that is able to prevent a cavity. Most decay in young people starts in these grooves. Sealants basically seal out the food particles and bacteria that cause decay. Sealants are placed on permanent first and second molars as soon after eruption as possible, before decay has a chance to start. The first molars erupt at around age 6, and the second set usually appear at around age 12.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  The intraoral camera is especially useful during dental restoration procedures. For example, if you were to have an amalgam tooth filling replaced with a composite resin filling, your dentist could use the intraoral camera to take “before and after” pictures and display the results simultaneously for you to see!
• Veneers
  Interested in improving your smile? Take a look at your front teeth. Are they chipped, discolored, or slightly crooked? Do any teeth tarnish an otherwise fantastic smile? You may be a perfect candidate for porcelain veneers.
• Crowns
  Most of us require some type of dental restorative work, such as fillings, crowns or bridges, during our lifetimes. Due to our extensive experience and commitment to continuing education, Dentistry on the Hill offers patients the latest technology, materials and procedures.
• Bridges
  A full-mouth restoration, also referred to as a full-mouth reconstruction, involves several cosmetic dentistry procedures designed to improve the health and appearance of your smile. Restorations are usually recommended for clients who have teeth that are damaged, worn down, or missing completely. Not only do damaged teeth negatively impact your smile appearance, they can also weaken your chewing ability and create bite imbalance. Depending on your degree of tooth damage, any of these dental treatments may be used to correct tooth condition: porcelain veneers, dental crowns, dental implants, tooth bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and dental bridges.
• Dental Bonding
• Restorative Dentistry
  There have been many wonderful advances in restorative dentistry in the past several years, and today there is truly no good reason for you to feel uncomfortable.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  A Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaler is a dental hygiene tool that uses high frequency sound waves to clean teeth. The Cavitron JET Plus used at Ufberg Dental is a state of the art instrument that has proven to be a very successful tool in removing tartar from both above and below the gumline. Instead of scaling the teeth with bulky hand scalers, the Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaler uses oscillating sound waves to gently vibrate the tartar away from your teeth. The Cavitron unit is so gentle that it can even be used for deep cleaning and gum therapy without the need for anesthesia. Having your teeth cleaned with a Cavitron is a safe effective and painless alternative to traditional cleaning methods.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  When you lose teeth, it not only changes the way you look, but it can keep you from eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence. And while dentures and removable bridges may help, many people today are seeking a more stable, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants have become increasingly popular because they provide a strong, secure anchor for artificial replacement teeth. With dental implants, your new teeth will look, feel and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and smile with confidence.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  The biocompatible titanium implants are safe and durable. Over the past 30 years, thousands of implants remain sound and function like natural teeth. Implants require the same diligence in homecare and professional maintenance as all teeth. This means they can easily last a lifetime without complications.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Hi Everyone! My name is Elaine. My husband and I moved here from Northern New Jersey in 2009. I have worked on the administrative side of healthcare for over 25 years in Oral Surgery, Periodontal, Cosmetic and General Dentistry offices. I am a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
• Jaw Surgery
• Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without anyone around you being the wiser. Invisalign treatment involves a series of clear, removable aligners designed to gradually improve your alignment and bite. This means you won’t have to shy away from the camera while you’re undergoing treatment, and you won’t have to inconvenience yourself by drastically altering your oral healthcare routine.
• Braces
  Like traditional braces, the length of treatment depends on the complexity of the case. Treatment time is about the same as conventional braces—about a year.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  To speed up the whitening process, they’ll shine our WhiteSpeed blue LED lamp onto your teeth. This accelerates the whitening, plus the lamp’s variable settings ensure you’ll get a comfortable experience.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Dr. Ufberg maintains a full time practice in which he emphasizes Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry. He has lectured within the Philadelphia area on subjects such as Implants, General, and Cosmetic Dentistry. He is active in several local dental study clubs, is an active member of the Academy of Stomatology, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and was privileged with an invitation to join the prestigious Greater Philadelphia Dental Seminars.
