Give Yourself A Smile Makeover with Porcelain Veneers

Minor chips, cracks, and misalignments in your smile can be a difficult thing to live with. Your teeth go through life’s hard knocks, and can become discolored and damaged. Many people consider a smile is a first impression, and if you do not feel confident about your smile, it can really have a negative effect on how you see yourself. Luckily, Dr. Michael Scurti is able to transform your smile with the help of porcelain veneers.

The process of porcelain veneers begins with a consultation with Dr. Scurti. There, he will be able to get a good look at your smile, and ask you about your long-term goals. Also, during the consultation, you will be able to express any questions or concerns you may have regarding the procedure. When it comes time to apply your porcelain veneers, Dr. Scurti will prepare your natural tooth by removing a small amount of enamel. Your custom-made veneers will be applied, and made permanent with dental resin cement. At the end, you are left with a beautiful, flawless smile!

One of the benefits of porcelain veneers is that they are stain resistant. You won’t have to worry about having that extra cup of coffee or glass of red wine, as your smile will always be dazzling. Also, with proper care and maintenance, your porcelain veneers can last up to ten years! If you have any questions on how Dr. Scurti can help with your journey to porcelain veneers, make an appointment and we’d be glad to help!

Root Canal Therapy with Dr. Scurti

Living in pain is never an easy thing, especially when it comes to your teeth. Tooth pain can be excruciating, and doing nothing about the pain will only make it worse. If you are suffering from an ongoing tooth ache, it is most likely because your tooth is infected. Left untreated, an infected tooth can wreak havoc on the rest of your smile, leaving you with a much more expensive and painful result down the road. Verona Dental Arts understands the importance of making sure your smile is as health as it can be, which is why we offer root canal therapy to our patients!

A root canal needs to be performed when the tooth’s structure has been compromised. Perhaps due to a crack or a large cavity, the tooth’s inner structure has become infected with bacteria, causing you much pain and discomfort. Other things that can cause the need for root canal therapy are deep restorations and dental trauma.

We begin your root canal by focusing on the infected tooth and removing the harmful bacteria. The tooth’s pulp is removed, and then the tooth is filled. After that, a crown is usually placed at the top, protecting the tooth from further harm. At the end, you feel relieved and alleviated of pain!

If you are experiencing sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks, pain, swelling, throbbing, and a bad taste in your mouth, you may need a root canal. Make an appointment at our office, and we’ll be glad to help!

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.

The Bright, White Smile You Deserve

If you're tired of hiding your smile because you're self-conscious about yellow, stained or otherwise discolored teeth, contact our office in Verona, NJ to schedule your teeth whitening consultation with Dr. Scurti. We also welcome patients from neighboring communities throughout New Jersey, including West Orange, Livingston, Clifton and beyond. 

Enhance Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Many patients are afraid to let others see their teeth because of imperfections like cracks, chips, staining, misalignment, and more. Thankfully, with a cosmetic dentistry service like porcelain veneers, a whiter, straighter-looking smile is possible. With porcelain veneers from Dr. Michael Scurti, patients from Verona, NJ and surrounding areas can hide the imperfections that are keeping them from smiling, resulting in better confidence and wellbeing.

Your custom-made veneers will be carefully crafted from durable dental porcelain. Veneers are thin and designed to lay flat over the front of your teeth.

Transforming a smile with porcelain veneers can be done in two appointments. In the first, Dr. Scurti will assess your oral health and talk to you about the changes you’d like to make to your smile. We’ll also prep your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel so that your finished veneers will lay flat. Then, between your first and second appointment, our lab will design your veneers according to a detailed plan from us. For your second appointment, all we have to do is affix your personalized veneers, completing your cosmetic procedure and giving you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Do you want to know more about porcelain veneers and how they can make a difference in your life? Call Verona Dental Arts today. Dr. Scurti offers cosmetic dentistry to patients from Verona, West Orange, Livingston, Clifton, and surrounding New Jersey towns.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is an extension of general care that lets doctors create whiter, straighter-looking smiles in just a few appointments. After all, not many people are naturally blessed with the kind of smile you see on TV or on a magazine cover. A beautiful smile is often the work of a skillful dentist putting his or her artist talents to work, with dazzling results for the patient.

Some of today’s most common cosmetic dental services include:

• Teeth Whitening
• Porcelain Veneers
• Cosmetic Bonding

Depending on your needs, your doctor may recommend just one service or a combination of services. What’s more, two of these services—in-office teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding—can be administered in just a single visit. That means that after about one hour, you can leave your doctor’s office with a smile that looks dramatically different. But even if your doctor recommends porcelain veneers, you can still look forward to fast results.

So, which of these services is most right for you? During a consultation visit, your doctor will complete an oral exam and talk to you about your own goals for your smile. Based on the results of that consultation, your doctor will make a recommendation. A more comprehensive plan may also include a general or restorative service as well.

What Is General Dentistry?

For children and adults, it’s important to see a general dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. Why so frequently? Because it’s through regular oral exams and cleanings that your doctor will help you achieve optimal oral health.

General dentistry is all about prevention and promoting healthy habits. During your next checkup with your general dentist, your doctor will look for signs of the most common oral health conditions, like tooth decay and gum disease. Other things your doctor will look for include neuromuscular conditions, like bruxism or TMJ dysfunction, as well as oral cancer.

Based on the results of your exam, other services may be recommended to help you improve the health, appearance, or functionality of your smile. Some of those services might include:

• Fillings
• Porcelain Veneers
• Periodontal Therapy
• Crown and Bridge Therapy
• Other cosmetic and restorative services

Whatever your doctor recommends, it will be tailored on your specific needs. What’s more, there will also be time for you to raise questions about the treatment plan your doctor recommends. Your general dentist wants you to fully understand what you can look forward to as we move forward with your treatment.
