Services

Free Oral Cancer Exams

Oral Cancer is probably not on your mind when you’re scheduling a dentist appointment - let’s keep it that way! Oral Cancer screenings with VELscope usually cost $75, but we believe everyone deserves early detection. Most dentists will perform a purely visual screening for free, but VELscope can detect earlier signs of cancer. When early detection is so important, screening is free, and it only only takes five minutes, why risk it? Learn more about Oral Cancer, or watch a video about Oral Cancer.

Lumineers

Interested in a movie-star smile? You can get one here! Lumineers are a thinner type of veneer, meaning there is no need to file down or alter your natural teeth. No shots, no pain, just a beautiful smile! Dr. Grand is a certified Lumineer Dentist. Learn more about Lumineers.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Give yourself the gift of a whiter, brighter smile! Common foods such as coffee, wine, and soda can stain your teeth over time. Get your teeth professionally (and safely) whitened with Zoom! whitening. Learn more about Zoom!

PPM Mouthguards (NFL-ready)

Mouthguards don’t cost much - unlike the expensive dental injuries they’re designed to prevent. Get a custom fit mouthguard to ensure a proper fit. A poor fitting mouthguard can be uncomfortable, or inhibit proper speech. Besides sports, you can also use mouthguards to prevent snoring or teeth grinding while sleeping.

Rumson 's Technology

Computerized Painless Injection

Contrary to popular belief, the source of pain from most injections isn't the needle: it's the flow of the anesthetic into your gums. Computerized injection can deliver anesthetics at a constant pressure and volume, which is typically below the threshold of pain.

Digital X-Rays

With faster results, higher quality dental pictures, and up to 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays, it’s a no-brainer to go digital.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

In addition to hand tools, we use Ultrasonic Cleaning (sometimes called Power Scalers) which is better at cleaning those deep nooks and crannies. Ultrasonic cleaning is also much faster and more comfortable, meaning a shorter and pain-free visit for you.

Intraoral Imaging

Intraoral (literally meaning “inside mouth”) imaging lets us get a close look at your teeth. It can detect cavities too small to notice with hand tools, as well as finding early signs of gum inflammation.

Meet Dr. Lea Grand

"I always knew as a child that I wanted to be a healer... My father knew that if I became a medical doctor, I would never leave the hospital because of my strong desire to help others. He advised me to choose dentistry - I could still be a healer and help my patients get out of pain. The choice has been an excellent one."

Oral Hygiene

What Happens if I Don't Brush?

Almost everyone has heard their parents say "Brush your teeth!" But why is it so important?

Good oral hygiene prevents tooth decay and gum disease - this is why dentists recommend you brush twice and floss once daily. Otherwise, you will most likely suffer from a gum condition know as Gingivitis.

Gingivitis happens when...

Naturally ooccuring bacteria in our mouths secrete waste, know as plaque.
Plaque is not only sticky (inviting more plaque to form), but also keeps healthy tissues from regenerating.
Without proper brushing, plaque will harden and turn into tartar.
Tartar harbors even more bacteria and waste products, accelerating the breakdown of gum tissue.
While you can brush plaque away, tartar can only be removed by your dentist.
Periodontal disease comes after gingivitis, which leads to severe breakdown of the gums and destruction of the supportive jaw bones.

Maintain your oral hygiene daily and visit your dentist twice a year to have your mouth examined as well as any plaque and tarter removed.
