Get the Brilliantly White Smile of Your Dreams with Teeth Whitening Services in Verona, NJ

As we age, the enamel and dentin that comprise our teeth can become dull and stained, often making us appear years older than we actually are. At Verona Dental Arts in Verona, NJ, Dr. Scurti and his experienced staff can help you reclaim your lustrous, beautiful smile with professional teeth whitening treatments that suit your lifestyle.

The Benefits of Professional Whitening

While the teeth whitening kits you see at your local drug store may claim to brighten your smile in no time, the fact is that the formula used in these products simply isn't powerful enough to achieve real results. Even whitening toothpastes can't penetrate deeply enough to give you the bright, healthy white shade most patients seek. At Verona Dental Arts, we offer you more than one choice when it comes to your teeth whitening treatment.

Our fastest whitening treatment, performed in our office in typically less than two hours, is capable of brightening your smile by as many as eight shades. Zoom! Whitening and LaserSmile, both of which are proven safe and effective, lift even deep, set-in stains to reveal whiter teeth that still look natural. If you'd prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, we can provide you with a personalized take-home whitening kit, complete with comfortable whitening trays and professional-grade solution. In as little as two weeks, you'll see dramatically whiter teeth.

Finally Find Relief from Bruxism with Neuromuscular Dentistry at Verona Dental Arts

If you often wake up with a headache or a sore jaw, it's possible that you may suffer from a stress-related condition called bruxism. Bruxism, treated most effectively with neuromuscular dentistry, is characterized by the act of clenching the jaw and/or grinding the teeth during sleep. At Verona Dental Arts in Verona, NJ, Dr. Scurti and his team want to help you understand and manage this subconscious behavior so that you can prevent damage to your teeth, find relief from morning discomfort and get the restful sleep you need.

The Importance of Treating Bruxism

When a person clenches the muscles of the jaw continuously during sleep, the result is typically an aching head and sore facial structures the next morning. If the bottom jaw, or mandible, is set into motion as well and the teeth grind against each other throughout the night, enamel begins to wear down under the pressure. Tooth erosion caused by bruxism, particularly noticeable in the molars, can be incredibly damaging to overall oral health. It can alter your bite and even lead to fractured teeth in extreme cases.

At Verona Dental Arts, Dr. Scurti provides his patients with nighttime mouth guards to stop teeth grinding and jaw clenching, thereby restoring their natural sleep habits and preserving their dental health. Often simply called nightguards, these oral appliances are custom-fitted to your unique dentition, making them more effective than generic, store-bought mouth guards. The guard helps to keep the jaw in the proper position while you sleep, preventing further damage to teeth and muscles.

In addition to fitting you with a custom mouth guard, Dr. Scurti and his team can explain to you the many benefits of neuromuscular dentistry. This advanced form of treatment takes into consideration the complex muscle structures in your entire head and neck for improved comfort and optimal results.

Easing Uncomfortable Symptoms with Neuromuscular Dentistry

Do you struggle with regular headaches or pain in your neck, shoulders, and back? Have you noticed that your jaw seems to pop or click when opening your mouth to chew or speak? These are signs that you might be struggling with a neuromuscular issue like bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ dysfunction. Both are serious issues but can be easily addressed with neuromuscular dentistry.

Neuromuscular dentistry looks at the health and alignment of the jaw, including the underlying muscles, tendons, and skeletal structures. Often, the most effective treatment for problems related to neuromuscular dentistry is a simple appliance worn by the patient during the day or at night.

A Simple Solution for Bruxism and TMJ Dysfunction

Patients who struggle with bruxism unconsciously grind and clench their teeth, most often while asleep, when they can’t stop themselves. TMJ dysfunction, on the other hand, is caused by a misaligned bite and puts pressure on the temporomandibular joints located on both sides of the face, where the jaw connects to the bottom of the skull. What’s more, patients who struggle with bruxism are more susceptible to developing TMJ dysfunction.

To treat these issues, Dr. Scurti of Verona Dental Arts will recommend either a nightguard or another kind of oral appliance. Nightguards are designed to stop teeth from grinding together. An appliance made specifically for TMJ dysfunction will realign the jaw to reduce aggravation on the joints. In both cases Dr. Scurti will create an appliance with a personalized fit to ensure the best possible results.
