As a general family dentist, Dr. Hersh ultimately seeks the blend of durability and beauty in each tooth restoration, while emphasizing the importance of routine dental care and prevention of tooth and gum disease for children and adult patients.

Our practice blends exceptional care with the latest technology to enhance the beauty of your smile. Following are some of the procedures we provide to give you something to smile about.

Preventive and Diagnostic

Our main goal is to ensure that all of your visits to our office are as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Towards that end, we firmly believe that an ounce of prevention is better than a cure. Sealants are a safe, painless and low cost way to protect your child’s teeth against future decay. Routine check-ups and cleanings ensure that you and your children’s’ mouths remain free of cavities and gum disease.

The dental examination is a diagnostic evaluation of a patient’s overall oral health and hygiene. During a dental examination, the doctor or hygienist may…

check for signs of tooth decay or periodontal disease
ask about any medications
take dental x-rays and dental impressions
evaluate occlusion (bite) and jaw
discuss proper cleaning remove stains or debris

A dental cleaning, also known as an oral prophylaxis, is the removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device that emits vibrations and is cooled by water is used to loosen larger pieces of tartar. Next, hand tools are used to manually remove smaller deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces. Once all the tooth surfaces have been cleaned of tartar and plaque, the teeth are polished.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Our office also specializes in cosmetic dentistry. This means that we not only pay attention to the health and function of your teeth, but we also pay close attention to aesthetics. Whitening and veneers can improve aesthetics, giving you the confidence to share your smile with the world.

We want you to maintain great oral health but we also want you to have a beautiful smile and the confidence to smile often!!

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is the aspect of dentistry that helps maintain oral and overall health even when the health of one or more teeth or the surrounding areas is compromised. Fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants help restore the appearance and function of natural teeth. Our CEREC technology offers advanced treatment options with less waiting time for a restoration.

With so many new exciting esthetic materials available for crowns, bridges and implant restorations you need a dentist like Dr. Hersh who is ‘up to the minute’ and can individualize your treatment to insure the best and most beautiful result. We only use American labs noted for their excellence and the finest materials.

A crown is a dental restoration that completely covers the outside of a tooth that is cracked, broken, worn down, or severely decayed. Dental crowns are usually completed in two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared (shaved down) and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated. During the second visit, the permanent crown is carefully fitted and then cemented into place.

Dr. Hersh is certified in CEREC, a system that allows complete porcelain dental restorations in one office visit. These crowns combine the strength and beauty of porcelain with the convenience of same day service. No longer are messy impressions, temporaries and multiple visits required. The result is a perfect look, comfort and the highest quality of restorative care.

Whether you have lost one or many teeth implants are a proven 99% successful way to replace your missing teeth. Once placed implants become an anchor on which we can place crowns, bridges and even dentures. Dentures that are secured by implants allow for a tight secure fit. Dr. Hersh continuously trains with the leading implant manufacturers to insure the function, durability and natural beauty you deserve.

A denture is a replacement for multiple missing teeth within the same (upper or lower) arch. A denture differs from a crown or bridge in that it does not rely on an existing tooth structure, and it completely replaces the missing teeth.

Today, there are many options. We will design your denture or partial to be esthetic and fit securely. We offer partials that can be flexible with clear esthetic clasps. Nothing replaces the natural feel and beauty of you own teeth, but we offer the next best alternative.

There are several different types of dentures:

Full or Partial
Removable or Fixed
Traditional or Implant-Supported
