Performed by Dr. Elo Adibe, D.M.D. — prosthodontist, member of the American College of Prosthodontists and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Meet Dr. Adibe → Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care in Cranbury, NJ offers All-on-4 dental implants — a full arch of permanent, fixed teeth supported by just four titanium implants, often loaded with a provisional bridge the same day. Dr. Adibe uses CBCT 3D imaging to map bone volume and nerve position before surgery, so patients can avoid bone grafting in most cases. Whether you have failing teeth, an ill-fitting denture, or advanced bone loss, All-on-4 restores chewing strength, facial support, and confidence. Schedule your consultation or call (609) 395-9100 to see if you are a candidate. Why All-on-4 works All-on-4 options Real before & after results How All-on-4 is performed Benefits of All-on-4 Am I a candidate? All-on-4 vs. dentures vs. implants Frequently asked questions A Full Arch on Four Implants ### One Smart Design Replaces a Whole Arch The All-on-4 technique uses four titanium posts strategically placed along the jaw to support a complete fixed bridge. By angling the two rear implants forward, they anchor in the denser bone at the front of the jaw and avoid the sinuses — which is why most patients can be treated without a separate bone graft. Unlike a removable denture that rests on the gums and relies on suction or adhesive, an All-on-4 bridge is fixed in place. It does not slip when you eat or speak, and because the implants stimulate the jawbone, they help slow the bone loss that causes the "sunken" facial look of long-term denture wear. What this means: instead of one implant per missing tooth, four well-placed implants can carry an entire arch — less surgery, lower cost than individual implants, and a permanent result you never take out. All-on-4 Options ### Full-Arch Solutions Tailored to Your Jaw All-on-4 is adapted to the upper or lower arch, your bone condition, and your goals for stability, function, and budget. Dr. Adibe reviews each option with every candidate. #### Upper-Arch All-on-4 A full set of fixed upper teeth supported by four implants. The implants are positioned to take advantage of stronger bone in the upper jaw, often allowing treatment without a separate bone graft. #### Lower-Arch All-on-4 Four implants restore an entire lower arch. The dense lower jawbone often provides excellent primary stability — ideal for patients tired of a loose lower denture. #### Same-Day (Immediate-Load) Teeth In most cases a provisional fixed bridge is attached the same day the implants are placed, so you leave with teeth — no gap and no removable denture during healing. #### All-on-4 vs. Implant-Retained Denture When budget or anatomy is a factor, an implant-retained overdenture (which snaps in and out) can be an alternative to a fully fixed All-on-4 bridge. Both are reviewed at your consult. Real Patient Results ### Before & After — Full-Arch Transformations Real before-and-after results from Dr. Adibe's practice show what All-on-4 can do for a failing or missing arch of teeth. More transformations are on our before & after gallery. BeforeAfter #### Failing Upper Teeth Replaced A failing upper arch replaced with a fixed, implant-supported bridge on four implants — a complete, stable set of teeth in place of loose, painful teeth. BeforeAfter #### From Loose Denture to Fixed Teeth An ill-fitting removable denture replaced with a full-arch All-on-4 prosthesis — no more adhesive, slipping, or removing teeth at night. BeforeAfter #### Full-Arch Smile Rebuilt A full arch of missing and broken-down teeth rebuilt with a permanent, lifelike zirconia bridge anchored to titanium implants. How All-on-4 Is Performed ### From CBCT Plan to Same-Day Teeth Every All-on-4 case at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care follows the same disciplined sequence, planned digitally before surgery. 1 #### CBCT Planning Dr. Adibe takes a 3D scan of your jaw and digitally plans the exact position, angle, and depth of each of the four implants: - Bone volume and density are mapped to find the strongest anchor points. - The angled posterior implants are positioned to avoid nerves and sinuses. - Any teeth that need to be removed are planned into the same surgical visit. Why this matters: precise planning is what makes a graft-free, same-day result predictable — the surgical day simply executes the plan. 2 #### Surgery & Same-Day Bridge Under local anesthesia (with nitrous oxide available for relaxation), Dr. Adibe places the four implants — two straight, two angled — in about two hours per arch. Most of the procedure is felt as pressure and vibration, not pain. Before you leave, a provisional fixed bridge is attached, so you walk out with a full set of teeth that day. 3 #### Healing & Final Bridge Over three to four months the implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration) while you follow a soft-food diet and return for check-ups. Once healing is complete, the provisional is replaced with a final zirconia or acrylic bridge — durable, lifelike, and matched to your smile. Materials & Technology #### Specialty-Grade Tools for Full-Arch Cases - Cone beam CT (CBCT) 3D imaging — maps bone, nerves, and sinuses for graft-free planning. - Intraoral digital scanning — captures your arch for the bridge design without messy impressions. - Titanium implants placed at strategic angles — for maximum stability in available bone. - Zirconia and acrylic prosthetic materials — chosen for the right balance of strength, weight, and natural appearance. Preparation & Comfort #### What the First Visit Looks Like Your first appointment is a comprehensive consultation: medical and dental history, CBCT imaging, an examination of your remaining teeth and gums, and a conversation about your goals. For surgery, comfort options include: - Local anesthesia — sufficient for many patients. - Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for patients who want to feel more relaxed. For patients with dental anxiety, we walk through the visit step-by-step beforehand so it feels predictable. Why Patients Choose All-on-4 ### The Benefits of All-on-4 #### Only Four Implants - Full arch on four posts - Lower cost and complexity than individual implants #### Same-Day Teeth - Leave with a provisional bridge - No gap, no removable denture during healing #### Preserves Jawbone - Implants stimulate the bone - Helps prevent facial collapse #### Fixed & Permanent - No adhesives or nightly removal - No slipping when you speak or eat #### Restored Chewing - Dramatically stronger bite than a denture - Eat the foods you enjoy #### Often Graft-Free - Angled implants use existing dense bone - Avoids added grafting surgery in most cases Is This Right For You ### Am I a Candidate for All-on-4? All-on-4 may be a good fit if you are: - An adult with multiple failing teeth or a full arch of missing teeth - Frustrated by an ill-fitting or uncomfortable traditional denture - Living with moderate bone loss and want to avoid grafting - In good overall health and want a permanent, non-removable solution This may not be the right option if you have: - Severe uncontrolled diabetes or conditions that impair healing - A heavy smoking habit (significantly higher failure rates) - Severe bruxism without a commitment to wearing a night guard Prefer to replace teeth one at a time? Explore single and multiple dental implants or implant-supported dentures. Your Options ### All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dentures vs. Individual Implants Here is how All-on-4 compares to the two most common alternatives for replacing a full arch of teeth. Dr. Adibe reviews all three options with every candidate during consultation. FeatureAll-on-4Traditional DenturesIndividual Implants Number of implants4 per arch08–12 per arch RemovableNo — fixedYes — dailyNo — fixed Bone graft neededRarelyNoOften yes Bite strength restoredUp to 90%20–30%Up to 95% Prevents bone lossYesNo — accelerates itYes Same-day teethUsually yesYesNo — months of healing Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About All-on-4 These are the questions patients ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Adibe addresses each one honestly at your consultation. "All-on-4 is too expensive" All-on-4 is a long-term investment that typically costs less than replacing multiple failing teeth one implant at a time. We provide a personalized quote after CBCT planning and offer payment options so you can spread the investment over time. "I'm nervous about the surgery" All-on-4 is performed under local anesthesia with nitrous oxide available for relaxation — most patients describe it as far less intense than they expected. Recovery is typically a few days, and you leave the same day with teeth. "I've had dentures fail before — how is this different?" Traditional dentures rest on the gums and slip. All-on-4 is anchored to four titanium implants fused to the jawbone — the bite force is dramatically stronger, bone loss is slowed, and there is no adhesive or slipping. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every procedure has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins. - Surgical infection at an implant site - Implant failure (failure to osseointegrate) — rare - Nerve irritation or injury (minimized by CBCT planning) - Sinus involvement for upper-arch implants - Peri-implantitis (bone loss around an implant) if hygiene is neglected - Prosthetic wear or fracture over many years of use Our Clinical Approach ### Why Planning Makes All-on-4 Predictable The All-on-4 protocol is used to bypass complex bone grafting in the vast majority of cases. By angling the two posterior implants forward, they anchor in the denser anterior jawbone — where the bone holds up best over time — and the sinuses and nerves are avoided without additional surgery. Long-term success depends on planning and maintenance. CBCT 3D imaging is used for every case to map bone and nerves before the first incision, and as a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe designs the surgical placement and the final bridge together so the finished arch fits the bite and looks natural. A maintenance schedule is built with every patient to protect the investment. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 in Cranbury What are All-on-4 dental implants?All-on-4 is a technique that replaces a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by just four titanium implants. Two implants are placed straight in the front of the jaw and two are angled in the back, anchoring in the densest available bone. Because the angled implants avoid the sinuses and nerves, most patients can be treated without a separate bone graft. Will I really leave with teeth the same day?In most cases, yes. After the four implants are placed, a provisional (temporary) fixed bridge is attached the same day — so you walk out with a full set of teeth and never go without a smile. The final zirconia or acrylic bridge is fitted after the implants integrate with the bone, usually three to four months later. How long do All-on-4 implants last?The titanium implants are designed to last decades and often a lifetime with proper care. The bridge attached to them may eventually need maintenance or replacement after many years of use, depending on the material and wear. Daily cleaning under the bridge and regular maintenance visits are essential to long-term success. Does food get stuck under the bridge?An All-on-4 bridge is designed to sit close to the gum so food does not collect underneath the way it can with a poorly fitting denture. You will clean beneath the bridge daily with a water flosser or special floss threader — Dr. Adibe shows you the technique at the delivery appointment. How do I clean All-on-4 implants?Brush the bridge like natural teeth and clean underneath it daily with a water flosser or floss threader, plus a non-alcoholic antibacterial rinse. An electric toothbrush helps. Brushing your tongue and the inside of your cheeks keeps bacteria and odor down. Professional maintenance visits keep the implants and gums healthy. Is sedation necessary for All-on-4 surgery?It is not required. Many patients are comfortable with local anesthesia alone, and nitrous oxide is available for relaxation. The procedure is done at our Cranbury office without hospitalization. Dr. Adibe reviews comfort options with you before surgery. How long is recovery after All-on-4 surgery?Most patients return to normal activity within a few days. A soft-food diet is recommended for several weeks while the implants integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration). The final bridge is typically placed three to four months after surgery, once healing is complete. What are the risks of All-on-4?As with any surgical procedure, All-on-4 carries some risk — including post-surgical infection, implant failure (rare, usually from bone not fully integrating), nerve irritation, sinus involvement on the upper arch, and peri-implantitis (bone loss around an implant) if hygiene is neglected. Dr. Adibe reviews your full medical history and CBCT imaging before surgery to minimize these risks. Is there an All-on-4 dentist near me in Cranbury?Yes.

Bridge vs. implant vs. partial Common concerns What to know Frequently asked questions Tooth Replacement ### How a Bridge Replaces Missing Teeth A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. Filling that gap does more than restore your smile. It helps maintain the shape of your face and alleviates stress on your bite by spreading chewing forces evenly across the arch again — rather than leaving the neighboring teeth to drift and overwork. What this means: a well-made bridge gives you back a complete arch you can chew and smile with confidently, anchored to the teeth you already have. Built to Last ### The Foundation of a Successful Bridge The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it's very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong. That is why Dr. Adibe evaluates the supporting teeth and the surrounding gum and bone before recommending a bridge. When those supports are sound, a bridge can serve reliably for years; when they are not, addressing them first — or considering a dental implant instead — protects your long-term result. Materials & Options ### What Bridges Are Made From Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. The right choice balances strength, appearance, and where the bridge sits in your mouth. #### Porcelain Tooth-colored porcelain blends with your natural teeth, making it the choice where appearance matters most — especially toward the front of the smile. #### Gold Gold is exceptionally durable and gentle on opposing teeth, valued where chewing forces are heaviest and strength is the priority. #### Alloys Metal alloys offer high strength for the framework of a bridge and are often combined with porcelain for a balance of durability and looks. #### Combination A porcelain-and-metal combination pairs a strong substructure with a natural-looking surface — a versatile option Dr. Adibe selects per case. Is This Right For You ### Is a Dental Bridge Right for Me? A bridge may be a good fit if you are: - Missing one or a few teeth in a row - Looking for a fixed (non-removable) replacement - Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge - Maintaining healthy gums and good oral hygiene Another option may suit you better if you have: - Weak or compromised teeth next to the gap - A preference not to prepare the neighboring teeth — an implant may be a better fit - Several missing teeth that may be better restored with a partial denture The most reliable way to know is a consultation with Dr. Adibe at our Cranbury office.

Dr. Adibe answers each one honestly at your consultation. "Will a bridge look natural?" A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and is matched to your natural teeth. Porcelain options blend in so the result looks like your own smile. "Will it be hard to keep clean?" A bridge is brushed like natural teeth, with the area underneath cleaned using a floss threader or water flosser. Keeping the supporting teeth and gums healthy is what allows a bridge to last. "How long will it last?" The success of any bridge depends on its foundation. With healthy supporting teeth, gums, and jaw — kept strong through good hygiene and regular checkups — a bridge can serve reliably for years. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every treatment has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation. - A traditional bridge requires preparing the healthy teeth on either side of the gap - The bridge depends on its foundation — if the supporting teeth or gums weaken, the bridge can be affected - The area under the artificial tooth needs special cleaning to avoid decay or gum problems - Unlike an implant, a bridge does not replace the tooth root or stimulate the underlying bone Our Clinical Approach ### A Prosthodontist's Eye for Crown & Bridge A bridge is only as reliable as the foundation it rests on — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe focuses on the restoration of teeth: he evaluates that foundation carefully, selects the material per case from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination, and designs the bridge so it fits your bite and matches your smile. When a neighboring tooth is too compromised to support a bridge, or when preserving the natural teeth is the priority, he will walk you through whether a dental implant is a better long-term answer — so the plan fits your mouth, not just the gap. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges What is a dental bridge?A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. It is bonded onto the surrounding teeth for support, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth. What can a bridge be made from?Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe selects the material based on where the bridge sits in your mouth, the chewing forces it must bear, and how natural you want it to look. What does the success of a bridge depend on?The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it's very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong with daily brushing and flossing and regular professional cleanings. What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?When a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth can drift into the gap and the bite can shift over time. A bridge helps maintain the shape of your face and alleviate stress on your bite by filling the space and restoring even chewing. How is a bridge different from a dental implant?A traditional bridge is supported by the teeth on either side of the gap, which must be prepared to hold the bridge. A dental implant replaces the tooth root on its own and does not rely on the neighboring teeth. Dr. Adibe reviews both options with you so you can choose the right fit. Learn more about our dental implant services. How do I care for a dental bridge?A bridge is brushed like your natural teeth, and the area underneath the artificial tooth is cleaned with a floss threader or water flosser. Keeping the supporting teeth and gums healthy is what allows a bridge to last. Bring it to every checkup so Dr. Adibe can confirm the fit and the foundation are sound.

When you need a crown or bridge Crown materials & bridge types Real before & after results How a crown or bridge is placed Benefits of crowns & bridges Is this right for me? Bridge vs. implant Frequently asked questions Two Workhorses of Restorative Dentistry ### Cap a Damaged Tooth, or Bridge a Gap A crown is a custom cap that covers and encases a tooth that is too damaged for a filling — after a large old restoration, a fracture, extensive decay, or root canal therapy. It bonds to the remaining tooth structure and restores full strength so you can eat, chew, brush, and floss normally again. A bridge replaces one or more adjacent missing teeth. It relies on the neighboring teeth (or dental implants) as anchors for a replacement tooth in the middle, restoring function and appearance while preventing the remaining teeth from drifting into the empty space. What this means: a crown saves and protects a tooth you still have; a bridge fills the space where a tooth is gone. Dr. Adibe will tell you which one your situation calls for — and when a more conservative option is the better choice. Crown Materials & Bridge Types ### The Right Restoration for the Right Tooth Crowns and bridges come in several materials and designs. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe selects per tooth — balancing strength, appearance, and how conservative the option is. #### All-Ceramic / Zirconia Crowns Metal-free crowns that match the translucency of natural enamel and leave no dark line at the gumline. Zirconia adds strength for back teeth; all-ceramic excels on front teeth for appearance. #### Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) A metal substructure under a ceramic exterior. Time-tested and strong, though a thin metal margin can show at the gum over the years — which is why all-ceramic is often preferred today. #### Traditional & Cantilever Bridges A traditional bridge anchors a replacement tooth to crowns on both neighboring teeth; a cantilever anchors on one side only, reserved for select situations. #### Maryland & Implant-Supported Bridges A Maryland bridge bonds wings to the back of adjacent teeth for a conservative option; an implant-supported bridge uses implants — not natural teeth — as the anchors. Real Patient Results ### Before & After — Crowns & Bridges Real before-and-after results from Dr. Adibe's practice show how crowns protect damaged teeth and bridges close gaps. More transformations are on our before & after gallery. BeforeAfter #### Damaged Tooth Capped A cracked, heavily restored tooth protected and rebuilt with a shade-matched ceramic crown — blended so it disappears among the natural teeth. BeforeAfter #### Gap Closed with a Bridge A missing tooth replaced with a fixed dental bridge anchored to the neighboring teeth — restoring the smile and the bite. BeforeAfter #### Front Teeth Restored Worn and discolored front teeth restored with all-ceramic crowns — natural translucency and no dark metal line at the gum. How a Crown or Bridge Is Placed ### Two Comfortable Visits, One Lasting Result Placing a crown or bridge at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care follows the same predictable sequence — with a temporary in between so the tooth is always protected. How a dental crown or bridge is placed. Transcript a dental crown is a tooth shaped cap or cover placed over a remaining natural tooth structure dental crowns restored to this original shape size strength and overall appearance a crown is used to protect and restore a weak or broken tooth oftentimes from decay other common reasons for the placement of dental crowns include holding dental bridges in place covering dental implants following root canal therapy and cosmetic modifications such as covering misshapen or discolored teeth to improve their appearance dental crowns are made from a variety of different materials including porcelain resin ceramic and stainless steel the placement of a dental crown requires two visits to the dentist during the first visit anesthesia is applied to both the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue once the area is numb the surface areas of the tooth are shaped to ensure sufficient space for the crown after reshaping the natural tooth the dentist will use a paste or putty like material to take impressions of the remaining two these impressions are taken to aid in the construction of the dental crown by a certified dental laboratory to create a customized permanent crown this process will take about three weeks meanwhile a secure temporary crown is placed over the tooth for protection temporary crowns are typically made of acrylic and they are held in place by a temporary cement during the second visit to the dentist the tooth and gum tissue are frequently numbed the temporary crown is removed and the customized permanent dental crown is checked for fit [Music] it is then cemented into place with a special adhesive for more information on dental crowns please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team today 1 #### Numbing & Preparation The first visit prepares the tooth: - Local anesthesia is administered — a brief pinch, then nothing. - Dr. Adibe gently reshapes the tooth to create space for the crown (or prepares the anchor teeth for a bridge). - You feel pressure and vibration, but no pain. Why this matters: only the minimum tooth structure needed for a strong, well-fitting restoration is removed — conservative preparation protects the long-term health of the tooth. 2 #### Digital Impression & Temporary A handheld scanner captures the exact shape of your tooth — no gooey impression material. The scan goes to the lab to fabricate your custom restoration, and a temporary crown or bridge is placed so you leave chewing normally, just avoiding sticky foods on that side. 3 #### Final Placement About two weeks later you return. Dr. Adibe removes the temporary, tries in the final restoration, verifies the fit and bite, and cements it permanently. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Materials & Technology #### What Goes Into the Restoration - Digital intraoral scanning — captures the tooth precisely without messy impression trays. - All-ceramic and zirconia — metal-free, color-matched, with no dark gumline margin. - Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) — a strong, time-tested option where appropriate. - Conservative preparation — preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Preparation & Comfort #### What to Expect at Your Visit Your first visit includes an examination and X-rays to confirm a crown or bridge is the right choice and the tooth and gums are healthy enough. Comfort options include: - Local anesthesia — keeps the procedure painless. - Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for patients who want to feel more relaxed. Mild temperature sensitivity for a short time after placement is normal and settles quickly. Why Patients Choose Them ### The Benefits of Crowns & Bridges #### Restores Function - Chew and bite with full strength - No dietary restrictions #### Natural Appearance - Color-matched ceramics - Virtually indistinguishable from enamel #### Protects the Tooth - Seals and reinforces a cracked tooth - Shields it from further decay #### Replaces Missing Teeth - A fixed bridge fills the gap - No removal or adhesives #### Long-Lasting - Crowns routinely last 10–15+ years - A cost-effective long-term restoration #### Preserves Alignment - Prevents teeth from drifting - Maintains the bite and facial structure Is This Right For You ### Is a Crown or Bridge Right for Me? A crown or bridge may be a good fit if you have: - A large cavity too big for a filling - A cracked or weakened tooth - A tooth that has had a root canal and needs protection - A missing tooth and are not a candidate for (or prefer not to have) an implant This may not be the right option if you have: - Active gum disease (which must be treated first) - Inadequate remaining tooth structure (an extraction plus implant may be better) Replacing a single missing tooth? Compare a bridge with a single dental implant. Your Options ### Dental Bridge vs. Single Implant Here is how a bridge compares to a single dental implant for replacing one missing tooth. Dr. Adibe reviews both with every patient so you can decide with full information. FeatureDental BridgeSingle Implant Procedure time2 visits over 2–3 weeks3–6 months including healing Preparation neededReshape 2 neighbor teethImplant placed into jawbone Average longevity7–12 years20+ years Prevents bone lossNoYes Cleaning at homeSpecial flossers neededNormal floss CostLower upfrontHigher upfront, better long-term value Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About Crowns & Bridges These are the questions patients ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Adibe addresses each one honestly at your consultation. "Crowns require grinding down the tooth — isn't that bad?" Some removal of tooth structure is necessary, but Dr. Adibe removes only the minimum needed for a strong bond. If there isn't enough damage to justify a crown, he'll recommend a more conservative restoration like an inlay or composite filling instead. "Crowns look fake or show a dark line" Modern all-ceramic and zirconia crowns are metal-free, so there's no dark margin at the gumline. The translucency matches natural enamel — most patients can't tell which tooth is crowned. "Bridges seem outdated — shouldn't I just get an implant?" Implants are often the better long-term choice, but bridges still make sense when bone is inadequate, cost is a constraint, or healing time isn't available. Dr. Adibe walks you through both options so you can decide with full information. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every procedure has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins. - Irreversible removal of some natural tooth structure during preparation - Temporary sensitivity to hot and cold after placement - The bite may need fine adjustment in the first weeks - A crown or bridge may eventually need replacement (typically 10–15+ years) - A bridge places additional load on the anchor (abutment) teeth Our Clinical Approach ### Why a Prosthodontist for Crowns & Bridges Zirconia and all-ceramic crowns are the default at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care whenever possible. They are stronger than older PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns, match natural tooth color more accurately, and eliminate the dark metal margin at the gumline that can appear over time. A bridge remains a great option when an implant is not possible or affordable, but every patient is walked through both choices. The long-term math often favors an implant — but the right answer depends on bone health, budget, and timeline, and as a prosthodontist Dr. Adibe is trained to weigh those factors and design the restoration for a precise, lasting fit. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns & Bridges in Cranbury When do I need a crown instead of a filling?A crown is recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to restore predictably — for example after a large old restoration, a fracture, extensive decay, or root canal therapy. A crown caps and encases the entire tooth, sealing and reinforcing it so you can bite, chew, brush, and floss normally. If the damage is minor, Dr. Adibe will suggest a more conservative option such as an inlay, onlay, or composite filling. When do I need a bridge?A bridge replaces one or more adjacent missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth (pontic) to the neighboring teeth or to implants. It restores chewing and appearance, prevents the remaining teeth from drifting into the gap, and is a fixed alternative to a removable partial denture. It is also a good choice when a dental implant is not possible or preferred. What types of crowns are available?Crowns can be made from all-ceramic/all-porcelain, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-resin, or metal alloys. All-ceramic and zirconia are the most popular today because they are strong, metal-free, and color-matched to your natural teeth. Dr. Adibe selects the material per tooth based on its location and the forces it must withstand. What types of bridges are available?There are four common types: traditional (crowns on both neighboring teeth with a replacement tooth between), cantilever (anchored on one side only), Maryland (bonded wings on the backs of adjacent teeth), and implant-supported (implants serve as the anchors instead of natural teeth). The right type depends on the location of the gap and the health of the surrounding teeth. How is a crown or bridge placed?It usually takes two visits. At the first, the tooth is numbed and reshaped, a digital impression is taken, and a temporary restoration is placed to protect the tooth. The lab fabricates the custom crown or bridge, and about two weeks later you return for the second visit, when the temporary is removed and the final restoration is checked for fit and bite and cemented permanently. Are crowns painful to get, and will they look natural?Local anesthesia is administered so the procedure is comfortable — most patients feel only pressure and vibration, not pain. Modern all-ceramic and zirconia crowns are metal-free, so there is no dark margin at the gumline, and their translucency matches natural enamel. Most patients cannot tell which tooth is crowned. How long do crowns and bridges last, and does insurance cover them?With proper care, crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer and bridges about 7–12 years; longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and material. Most dental insurance plans cover about 50% of crowns and bridges when they are medically necessary (after a broken tooth, root canal, or lost tooth). We verify your benefits in advance and offer payment options for any balance. Is there a dentist near me in Cranbury for crowns and bridges?Yes.

What dentures are Types of dentures Real before & after results How you are fitted for dentures Benefits of dentures Are dentures right for me? Traditional vs. implant-retained Frequently asked questions When Teeth Are Missing ### Replacement Teeth Built to Fit You Dentures are custom prostheses that replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, and they support the lips and cheeks — preventing the collapsed look that follows tooth loss. Depending on how many teeth are missing, dentures can be complete (replacing a full arch) or partial (replacing a few teeth while clasping to the remaining natural ones). Every denture is tailored to your mouth and color-matched to blend in. For patients who want maximum stability, an implant-retained option snaps onto implants and virtually eliminates slipping. What this means: modern dentures have come a long way — current materials, precise impressions, and digital shade matching deliver results that look far more natural than the dentures of decades past. Types of Dentures ### The Right Denture for Your Situation The best option depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of your gums and bone, and your goals for stability and budget. Dr. Adibe reviews each type with you. #### Complete Dentures A full set of removable replacement teeth on a gum-colored base for an upper or lower arch (or both) when all natural teeth in that arch are missing. #### Partial Dentures Replace one or several missing teeth while clasping securely to the remaining natural teeth with metal or precision attachments — preventing the others from shifting. #### Immediate Dentures Placed the same day teeth are extracted so you are never without teeth during healing; later refined or relined as the gums settle. #### Implant-Retained Overdentures Snap onto two or more dental implants for a dramatically more stable fit — far less movement when eating or speaking, and they slow jawbone loss. Real Patient Results ### Before & After — Restored Smiles with Dentures Real before-and-after results from Dr. Adibe's practice show how custom dentures restore a natural smile and a confident bite. More transformations are on our before & after gallery. BeforeAfter #### Full Smile Restored A patient with extensive tooth loss restored with a custom complete denture — natural shape, shade-matched teeth, and renewed facial support. BeforeAfter #### Gaps Filled with a Partial Several missing teeth replaced with a custom partial denture that clasps securely to the remaining natural teeth. BeforeAfter #### Stable, Confident Bite A loose, ill-fitting denture replaced with a well-fitted, custom prosthesis — comfortable for eating, speaking, and smiling. How You Are Fitted for Dentures ### From Impression to Final Fit Every denture case at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care follows the same careful sequence — with a try-in stage so there are no surprises at delivery. 1 #### Impressions & Bite Records If any teeth need to be removed, that is planned first. Then Dr. Adibe takes precise impressions of your gums and records your bite: - A soft impression material sets in about a minute — not painful. - Bite records capture how your jaws meet so the denture functions correctly. - Tooth shape and shade are selected to match your natural look. Why this matters: an accurate impression and bite record are the foundation of a comfortable, stable denture — most fit problems trace back to this step. 2 #### Wax Try-In A wax version of your dentures is tried in so you can see and approve the shape, shade, and smile line before the final is fabricated. Changes are made at this stage — you have a say in how your new smile looks. 3 #### Final Fit & Follow-Up The finished dentures are delivered and adjusted for comfort. You will practice eating and speaking, and Dr. Adibe makes fine tweaks. A few days later you return for sore-spot adjustments — most patients fully adapt within two to four weeks. Materials & Craftsmanship #### What Goes Into a Quality Denture - High-grade acrylic bases — shaded to look like natural gum tissue. - Custom shade- and shape-matched teeth — selected to suit your face and smile. - Precision impressions and bite records — for a comfortable, stable fit. - Implant-retained options — locator attachments that snap the denture onto implants for added stability. Comfort & Adjustment #### Settling In to New Dentures Adjusting to new dentures takes a little time and patience. Mild soreness or extra saliva is normal in the first days and settles quickly. To help you adapt: - Start with soft foods and cut them into small pieces. - Practice reading aloud to adjust your speech. - Return for sore-spot adjustments — never tolerate a painful spot. Most patients are comfortable and confident within a few weeks. Why Patients Choose Dentures ### The Benefits of Custom Dentures #### Restored Chewing - Eat a wider range of foods - Better nutrition and digestion #### Clearer Speech - Fills gaps that affect pronunciation - Speak with confidence again #### Facial Support - Supports lips and cheeks - Prevents a collapsed appearance #### Natural Appearance - Custom shade and shape matching - Approved at a try-in before delivery #### Non-Surgical Option - No surgery required for traditional dentures - An accessible way to replace many teeth #### Upgrade Path - Can be made implant-retained later - Far greater stability when budget allows Is This Right For You ### Are Dentures Right for Me? Dentures may be a good fit if you: - Have multiple missing teeth (complete or partial dentures) - Are not a candidate for implants due to bone loss - Want a non-surgical, more affordable replacement option - Are interested in implant-retained dentures for better stability This may not be the ideal option if you: - Have a strong gag reflex (a custom fit and design can often help) - Are unwilling to remove and clean dentures daily Want a fixed, non-removable full arch instead? Consider All-on-4 dental implants. Your Options ### Traditional vs. Implant-Retained Dentures Here is how a traditional denture compares to an implant-retained option. Dr. Adibe reviews both with every patient so you can make the best-informed decision. FeatureTraditional DenturesImplant-Retained Stability while eatingModerate (may use adhesive)Very high (snaps onto implants) Bone preservationNo — bone continues to resorbYes — implants stimulate bone Chewing strength20–30% of natural teethUp to 70% of natural teeth Speech changesCommon early onMinimal Removable at nightYesYes (snaps off for cleaning) Upfront costLowerHigher Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About Dentures These are the questions patients ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Adibe addresses each one honestly at your consultation. "Dentures will look fake" Modern dentures use high-quality acrylic and custom shade matching. The shape and shade are refined at a wax try-in before finalizing, so the result looks natural — most people can't tell. "Dentures will slip when I eat or talk" Slippage is the biggest complaint about traditional dentures. If it's a major concern, implant-retained dentures anchored to two or more implants eliminate the problem entirely and dramatically improve chewing strength. "Dentures are just for older patients" Denture candidates span all ages — anyone with significant tooth loss from decay, gum disease, trauma, or a medical condition may benefit. Age has nothing to do with it. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every treatment has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed care. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins. - An adjustment period of a few weeks — sore spots are normal early on - Long-term bone resorption gradually changes the fit - Slippage or a loose fit is common with traditional dentures over time - Relines or replacement are needed periodically Our Clinical Approach ### Why a Prosthodontist for Dentures The biggest complaint about traditional dentures is slippage. As a prosthodontist — a specialist in the design and fit of replacement teeth — Dr. Adibe focuses on getting the impression, bite, and try-in right so the finished denture is stable and comfortable from the start. Every patient is walked through all available options, including implant-retained overdentures. Even two implants per arch can anchor a lower denture and eliminate the slipping concern completely — so the conversation is always about the best long-term fit for your mouth and budget, not a one-size-fits-all denture.

Complete dentures replace all the teeth in an arch; partial dentures replace a few teeth while clasping to the remaining ones. Immediate dentures are placed the same day teeth are removed, and implant-retained overdentures snap onto implants for far greater stability. Dr. Adibe helps you choose the right type at your consultation. How do I care for my dentures?Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleanser, rinse them thoroughly, and store them in water or denture solution when they are out. Also brush your gums, tongue, and palate to keep tissue healthy. Bring your dentures to regular check-ups so the fit can be evaluated and adjusted. Can I sleep with my dentures in?It is generally recommended to remove dentures at night. This gives your gums and the underlying bone a chance to rest and recover, reduces the risk of irritation and fungal infection, and lets you clean the dentures thoroughly before the next day. How long do dentures last?The lifespan of dentures varies with the type, material, and how they are cared for, but they typically last about five to ten years. Over time the jawbone changes shape, so dentures usually need a reline or replacement to keep fitting well. Will dentures affect my speech, and will they look natural?It is common to notice small changes in speech while adjusting to new dentures, but with a little practice most people speak normally within a few weeks. Modern dentures use high-quality acrylic and custom shade matching, and the shape and shade are confirmed at a wax try-in before finalizing — so the result looks natural. What should I do if my dentures become loose?Loosening usually means the underlying bone has changed shape and the denture needs a reline or, eventually, a replacement. Do not use excessive over-the-counter adhesive to compensate — schedule an evaluation so the fit can be corrected. If looseness is a recurring problem, an implant-retained option may be worth discussing. Can dentures be repaired if they break?Yes. A cracked, chipped, or broken denture can often be repaired. Bring it in so it can be assessed and the appropriate repair recommended — avoid home repair kits, which can distort the fit and make a proper repair harder.

When a tooth needs to be removed How an extraction works After your extraction Comfort & sedation Replacing the extracted tooth Common concerns What to know Frequently asked questions When It's Necessary ### When a Tooth Needs to Be Removed There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. Sometimes a baby tooth has misshapen or long roots that prevent it from falling out as it should, and the tooth must be removed to make way for the permanent tooth to erupt. At other times, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth and jaw at risk of decay, so your doctor may recommend removal and replacement with a bridge or implant. Infection, orthodontic correction, or problems with a wisdom tooth can also require removal of a tooth. What this means: removal is a last resort that protects the rest of your mouth — and it always comes with a plan for what happens next. The Procedure ### How an Extraction Works When it is determined that a tooth needs to be removed, your dentist may extract the tooth during a regular checkup or may schedule another visit for this procedure. The root of each tooth is encased within your jawbone in a "tooth socket," and your tooth is held in that socket by a ligament. In order to extract a tooth, your dentist must expand the socket and separate the tooth from the ligament holding it in place. While this procedure is typically very quick, it is important to share with your doctor any concerns or preferences for sedation. After Your Extraction ### Protecting Your Bite Once a Tooth Is Out Once a tooth has been removed, neighboring teeth may shift, causing problems with chewing or with your jaw joint function. To avoid these complications, your dentist may recommend that you replace the extracted tooth. #### Teeth Can Shift Neighboring teeth may drift into the empty space, which can disrupt your bite over time. #### Chewing Changes A missing tooth can cause problems with chewing as the bite redistributes unevenly. #### Jaw Joint Function Shifting teeth can affect jaw joint function, which is why replacement is often recommended. #### A Replacement Plan Your dentist may recommend replacing the tooth with a bridge or implant to keep everything aligned. Comfort & Sedation ### Easing Anxiety During Your Visit While an extraction is typically very quick, we know it can feel stressful. That is why it is important to share with your doctor any concerns or preferences for sedation before the procedure begins. For patients who want to feel more relaxed, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available — an effective way to calm anxiety and raise your comfort during treatment, with effects that wear off so you can resume your day. We walk you through the visit beforehand so it feels predictable rather than overwhelming.

Share any concerns or preferences for sedation — nitrous oxide is available to help you relax. "Can the tooth be saved instead?" Removal is recommended only when necessary — such as severe decay that puts surrounding teeth and jaw at risk. Dr. Adibe discusses whether saving the tooth is possible first. "Do I have to replace the tooth?" Once a tooth is removed, neighboring teeth may shift, causing problems with chewing or jaw joint function. To avoid these complications, replacement is often recommended. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every procedure has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these before treatment. - Dry socket (loss of the protective blood clot) causing delayed healing and discomfort - Nerve injury, which can cause temporary or, rarely, lasting numbness - Prolonged bleeding or swelling after the procedure - Infection at the extraction site - Neighboring teeth may shift if the tooth is not replaced, affecting chewing and jaw joint function Our Clinical Approach ### Removal With the End in Mind There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth — but an extraction is never the whole story. Once a tooth has been removed, neighboring teeth may shift, causing problems with chewing or with your jaw joint function. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe plans the extraction and the replacement together: he considers from the start whether a dental implant or a bridge will best restore the space, so the loss of one tooth does not become a problem for the rest of your bite.

Filling materials What's right for me? Direct vs. indirect fillings Factors that influence your choice Amalgam vs. composite Common concerns What to know Frequently asked questions Filling Materials ### Silver Amalgam and Tooth-Colored Composite Traditional dental restoratives, or fillings, are most often made of silver amalgam. The strength and durability of this traditional dental material makes it useful for situations where restored teeth must withstand extreme forces that result from chewing, often in the back of the mouth. Newer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds, often called composite resins, are usually used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important, but they can also be used on the back teeth depending on the location and extent of the tooth decay. Choosing a Restoration ### What’s Right for Me? Several factors influence the performance, durability, longevity, and expense of dental restorations. Before your treatment begins, your doctor will discuss with you all of your options and help you choose the best filling for your particular case. In preparation for this discussion it may be helpful to understand the two basic types of dental fillings — direct and indirect. Knowing the difference makes the conversation about your options far easier. What this means: there is no single "best" filling — the right one depends on the tooth, the bite, and your goals, which Dr. Adibe reviews with you before any work begins. Two Basic Types ### Direct vs. Indirect Fillings Understanding the two basic types of dental fillings helps you take part in the decision about how your tooth is restored. One Visit #### Direct Fillings Direct fillings are fillings placed into a prepared cavity in a single visit. They include silver amalgam, glass ionomers, resin ionomers, and composite (resin) fillings. The dentist prepares the tooth, places the filling, and adjusts it in one appointment. Two or More Visits #### Indirect Fillings Indirect fillings generally require two or more visits. They include inlays, onlays, and veneers fabricated with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. They are used when a tooth has too much damage to support a filling but not enough to necessitate a crown. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth and makes an impression of the area to be restored, then places a temporary covering. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory, which creates the restoration. At the next appointment, the dentist cements the restoration into the prepared cavity and adjusts it as needed. What Goes Into the Decision ### Factors That Influence Your Choice Several factors influence the performance, durability, longevity, and expense of dental restorations. #### Filling Material The components used in the filling material affect its strength, appearance, and longevity. #### Tooth Structure The amount of tooth structure remaining determines whether a filling, an inlay/onlay, or a crown is appropriate. #### Placement & Load Where and how the filling is placed, and the chewing load the tooth will have to bear, guide the material choice. #### Visits Needed The length and number of visits needed to prepare and adjust the restored tooth factor into the plan and the expense. Your Options ### Silver Amalgam vs. Composite Resin Here is how the two most common direct filling materials compare. Dr. Adibe helps you choose the best filling for your particular case.

Dr. Adibe answers each at your appointment. "Will my filling be noticeable?" Composite resins mimic the appearance of natural teeth and are usually used where a natural appearance is important, so a tooth-colored filling blends in. "Will it be strong enough to chew on?" Silver amalgam is strong and durable for teeth that withstand extreme chewing forces, and composite can also be used on back teeth depending on the location and extent of decay. "How many visits will it take?" A direct filling is completed in a single visit. An indirect filling such as an inlay or onlay generally requires two or more visits because a laboratory creates the restoration. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every restoration has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these with you. - A filled tooth may feel temporarily sensitive after placement - Fillings can wear, chip, or loosen over time and may eventually need replacement - If decay is more extensive than expected, a tooth may need an indirect restoration or a crown instead - The performance and longevity of any restoration depend on the material, the tooth structure remaining, and the chewing load Our Clinical Approach ### Choosing the Right Restoration Several factors influence the performance, durability, longevity, and expense of dental restorations. As a prosthodontist — the specialty centered on restoring teeth — Dr. Adibe weighs the filling material, the amount of tooth structure remaining, where and how the filling is placed, and the chewing load the tooth must bear before recommending a material. When a tooth has too much damage to support a filling but not enough to necessitate a crown, an indirect restoration such as an inlay or onlay may be the better answer. The goal is always to restore the tooth conservatively and durably — not to over- or under-treat it.

What full mouth restoration is What it can include Real before & after results How a case is planned & sequenced Benefits of full mouth restoration Am I a candidate? Common concerns Frequently asked questions When Multiple Problems Stack Up ### One Coordinated Plan, Not a Pile of Procedures Full mouth restoration restores or replaces the teeth across both jaws for patients facing several problems at once — missing, damaged, decayed, or worn teeth, gum disease, and bite issues. Rather than treating each issue in isolation, it is a single customized plan that rebuilds the health, function, and appearance of the entire mouth. A plan may combine dental implants, crowns and bridges, veneers, gum treatment, root canal therapy, and orthodontics. The goal is a result that works and lasts — not just one that looks good on day one. What this means: if you have multiple dental issues that affect how you eat, speak, or feel about your smile, full mouth restoration sequences the fixes in the right order so they reinforce each other instead of working against each other. What It Can Include ### The Building Blocks of a Full-Mouth Plan No two plans are identical. Dr. Adibe draws from the full range of restorative and cosmetic dentistry, in the right sequence, to address your specific needs. #### Implants, Crowns & Bridges Missing teeth are replaced with dental implants; damaged teeth are restored or capped with crowns and bridges to rebuild structure and chewing function. #### Gum & Bone Therapy Active gum disease is treated first, with bone or gum grafting where needed — a healthy foundation is essential before any restorative work begins. #### Bite & TMJ Correction Bite problems and jaw-joint (TMJ) dysfunction are corrected so the rebuilt teeth meet properly and the result lasts — not just looks good. #### Veneers & Cosmetic Finishing Veneers, bonding, whitening, and gum contouring complete the smile aesthetically once health and function have been restored. Real Patient Results ### Before & After — Full-Mouth Transformations Real before-and-after results from Dr. Adibe's practice show how a coordinated plan can rebuild a worn or compromised smile. More transformations are on our before & after gallery. BeforeAfter #### Worn Dentition Rebuilt Severely worn and damaged teeth rebuilt with a coordinated plan of crowns and restorations — restoring bite height, function, and a youthful smile. BeforeAfter #### Function and Aesthetics Restored A compromised smile restored with a combination of implants, crowns, and cosmetic work in a single phased treatment plan. BeforeAfter #### A Complete Smile Makeover Years of avoided dental issues addressed with a full-mouth rehabilitation — health, comfort, and confidence rebuilt from the ground up. How a Case Is Planned & Sequenced ### Three Phases — Foundation, Function, Finish The key to a successful full-mouth case is sequencing. Health comes first, then structure, then aesthetics — each phase builds on the last. 1 #### Phase 1 — Foundation Every case starts with a comprehensive workup and treating active disease: - Comprehensive exam with CBCT 3D imaging, photos, impressions, and bite analysis. - Gum disease, decay, and infection are treated first; extractions are performed if a tooth cannot be saved. - Bone or gum grafting is done where needed to support future restorations. Why this matters: restorations placed on an unhealthy foundation fail. Stabilizing the gums and bone first is what makes the rebuild last. 2 #### Phase 2 — Structural Rebuild With a healthy foundation, function is restored: implants replace missing teeth, crowns and bridges rebuild damaged ones, and the bite is corrected so the teeth meet properly. Provisional teeth are worn during healing so you are never without a smile, and you approve each phase before work proceeds. 3 #### Phase 3 — Aesthetics & Finalize Final restorations are placed, and cosmetic finishing — veneers, whitening, and gum contouring — completes the look. A long-term maintenance plan is set to protect the result for years to come. Planning & Technology #### How the Plan Is Built - Comprehensive exam — X-rays, CBCT, photographs, and impressions of teeth and gums. - Oral-health evaluation — checking for decay, damage, infection, and periodontal disease. - Bite analysis — assessing jaw function and alignment, including TMJ concerns. - Phased treatment plan — a clear sequence with timelines, costs, and options reviewed with you. Comfort & Sedation #### Managing a Longer Course of Care Full-mouth treatment is phased over weeks or months, not done all at once — so individual appointments stay manageable. Comfort options include: - Local anesthesia — for routine restorative visits. - Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for patients who want to feel more relaxed. You approve each phase before it begins, so there are no surprises along the way. Why Patients Choose It ### The Benefits of Full Mouth Restoration #### Complete Transformation - Addresses every tooth together - A cohesive result no single procedure gives #### Restored Function - Eat a full diet again - Chew without pain or limitation #### Personalized Plan - Built around your anatomy and goals - Not a one-size-fits-all protocol #### Best of Modern Dentistry - Implants, crowns, veneers, gum therapy - Combined into one optimal plan #### Healthier Mouth - Treats decay, disease, and damage - Improves long-term oral health #### Renewed Confidence - A smile you are proud of - Improved social and daily life Is This Right For You ### Am I a Candidate for Full Mouth Restoration? Full mouth restoration may be a good fit if you: - Have multiple failing, missing, or severely worn teeth - Have significant bite problems or TMJ dysfunction - Have avoided dental care for years and now face compound issues - Are committed to phased treatment and long-term maintenance This may not be the right path if you: - Are unwilling to address underlying gum or bone disease first - Do not have the time or resources for phased treatment - Have expectations that cannot be met or are unwilling to follow the plan Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About Full Mouth Restoration These are the questions patients ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Adibe addresses each one honestly at your consultation. "It sounds overwhelming — and expensive" Full-mouth rehabilitation is phased over weeks or months, not all at once. Dr. Adibe builds a plan with clear phases and costs so you know exactly what is coming and when. Payment options make the investment manageable. "I've put off dental work for years — am I beyond help?" No. Dr. Adibe sees patients who thought their situation was hopeless. Modern dentistry — implants, veneers, crowns, grafting — can restore smiles that were unthinkable a decade ago. "Will I be toothless during the process?" No. Provisional teeth are placed throughout treatment so you are never without a smile. You can eat, work, and socialize normally while healing. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every procedure has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins. - Each component procedure has its own risks (implant failure, crown fracture, infection, bite adjustment) - Long treatment timelines require patient commitment - Provisional teeth may need adjustments along the way - Not all damaged teeth can be saved — some extractions may be needed Our Clinical Approach ### Why Sequencing Makes a Full-Mouth Case Succeed Full mouth restoration is among the most rewarding work in dentistry. Patients often arrive unable to eat comfortably, having hidden their smile for years — and leave with a functional, healthy, beautiful result that changes how they live day to day. The key to success is careful sequencing. Gum health is addressed first, then structural problems, then aesthetics — and as a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe is specifically trained to plan complex, multi-procedure rehabilitations as one connected case. CBCT planning maps every implant, crown, and bite adjustment before the first appointment.

The exact mix depends entirely on your needs — that is what makes it a customized rehabilitation rather than a single procedure. How long does a full mouth restoration take?Timelines vary with complexity. Simpler cases combining veneers and crowns may take four to eight weeks. Complex cases involving implants, bone grafting, or gum therapy can span six to twelve months or longer because healing time is built in between phases. Dr. Adibe builds a clear, phased timeline at your consultation. Will I be without teeth during treatment?No. Provisional (temporary) teeth are placed throughout the process, so you are never without a smile. You can eat, work, and socialize normally while the underlying work heals and the final restorations are fabricated. Will the result look natural?Yes. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe focuses on the design of natural-looking restorations that blend with your facial features and match in color, shape, and proportion. Cosmetic finishing — veneers, contouring, whitening — is done after health and function are restored so the final smile looks and works like natural teeth. Can a full mouth restoration fix crooked teeth without braces?In some cases, yes. Restorative options such as veneers, crowns, or bonding can improve the appearance of mildly crooked or misaligned teeth as part of the plan. Significant alignment problems may still be best treated with orthodontics, which can be coordinated into the overall sequence. How much does a full mouth restoration cost, and does insurance help?Cost depends on which procedures are included and the materials used, so a detailed phased quote is provided after your consultation. Most insurance plans cover medically necessary restorative procedures (such as crowns, extractions, root canals, and in some plans implants) as major services, while purely cosmetic components are typically not covered. We maximize every benefit and offer payment options. Is there a dentist near me in Cranbury that offers full mouth restorations?Yes.

Here is what to expect. 1 #### Paperwork & Insurance Verification Complete your new patient forms online or in the office.

Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About Visiting the Dentist We hear these concerns regularly from new patients. Dr. Adibe and our team address each one with care. "I haven't been to the dentist in years — I'm embarrassed." This is more common than you think, and our team is trained to make you feel welcome, not judged. Whether it has been two years or twenty, the first step is the same: a comprehensive exam to understand where you are now, followed by a realistic plan to get you back on track. No lectures, just solutions. "I'm nervous about dental procedures." Dental anxiety is real and we take it seriously. We explain every step before we do it, use gentle techniques, and offer comfort options for patients who need them. You are always in control — raise your hand at any time and we stop. "I'm worried about the cost of dental care." We work with most major insurance plans and verify your benefits before your visit. Dr. Adibe also prioritizes treatment so the most urgent needs are addressed first — you don't have to do everything at once. What to Know ### Risks of Delaying Dental Care Postponing regular dental visits often leads to more complex and costly treatment down the road. - Small cavities that could be filled in one visit can progress to root infections requiring root canal therapy or extraction - Early-stage gingivitis (reversible) can advance to periodontitis (irreversible bone loss) without professional intervention - Oral cancer detected early has a significantly higher survival rate — routine exams include a screening - Untreated dental infections have been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular events, diabetes complications, and adverse pregnancy outcomes Our Clinical Approach ### Conservative, Coordinated Care Every new patient begins with a comprehensive exam — not just a quick look and a cleaning. Dr. Adibe reviews your full dental and medical history, takes diagnostic images, evaluates your bite, screens for oral cancer, and discusses your goals before recommending any treatment. We prioritize conservative treatment: if a tooth can be saved, we save it; if a problem can be monitored rather than treated immediately, we monitor it. Because Dr. Adibe is a prosthodontist, even routine general dentistry is planned with the long-term function and appearance of your whole mouth in mind — you will never be recommended treatment you don't need. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry How often should I visit the dentist?It is generally recommended that you visit the dentist every six months for a routine dental exam and cleaning. However, Dr. Adibe may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual needs and oral health. What are some common signs of gum disease?Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and receding gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your dentist for treatment. How can I prevent cavities?You can prevent cavities by practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and limiting your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks. Regular professional cleanings remove the tartar that home care cannot. When should my child first visit the dentist?Although the American Dental Association recommends starting visits when children get teeth, usually at age one, we often find that kids do best around three years old. At this time the doctor can take a look to make sure everything is on target, and we can start to create positive feelings so your child looks forward to visiting the dentist. How can I maintain good oral health between dental visits?In addition to practicing good oral hygiene, you can maintain good oral health by eating a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco use, and wearing a mouthguard when playing sports or engaging in other physical activities.

Why implants are the best replacement The range of implant treatment Real before & after results How an implant case is performed Benefits of dental implants Am I a good candidate? Implant vs. bridge vs. partial Frequently asked questions When a Tooth Is Missing or Failing ### A Permanent Solution When Patching Stops Working Missing teeth cause more than a cosmetic gap. They lead to difficulty chewing and speaking, shifting of the surrounding teeth, and gradual bone loss in the jaw. Of the available options, dental implants are widely considered the most effective long-term solution. An implant is an artificial tooth root — a small titanium post placed directly into the jawbone. Once the bone fuses around it (osseointegration), a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture attaches on top to complete the restoration. Because the implant stands on its own, it does not rely on grinding down healthy neighboring teeth the way a traditional bridge does. What this means: when a natural tooth can no longer be rebuilt, an implant gives you a foundation that stops the cycle of repeated repairs — one that does not decay, helps preserve the jawbone, and can last decades. Understanding your tooth-replacement options. Transcripthi everyone my name is Whitney and I am a dental hygienist if you're new here welcome if you've been here before welcome back let's talk about what to do and how to replace a missing tooth and before we jump in let me quickly remind you about my website teeth toalk girl.com if you're ever looking for a specific Dental topic I have a search bar where you can easily find what you're looking for and also my Instagram @ teeth talkgirl often times if you're missing a tooth or just had a tooth pulled you had a tooth extraction you will have four options on what to do next and I'm about to go over these four options from the least ideal situation to the most ideal situation which is also least expensive to most expensive one if you have a missing tooth that is not bothering your cosmetic appearance maybe it's super far back there and you can't even tell it's missing or if you don't even notice it's gone because you don't have an opposing tooth to chew with meaning you lost a bottom tooth and your top tooth opposing it is also missing then unless you're going to replace both sometimes not really functional anyway so option one is to do nothing at all leave the Gap leave it alone but more often than not usually this is not the best option because you will have bone loss in this area over time and the opposing teeth if there are any can drop down also Moler teeth are functional teeth they are the ones that help you chew your food so always always always keep function and mind but know that it is always an option to do nothing at all two get a partial denture or a flipper again this does not keep the bone level where it should be so you can get bone loss over time although it will improve your cosmetic appearance and it can help you Cho too if it's a true partial denture but sometimes if it's just a flipper it's for appearance only either way you need to remove it every night when you sleep but during the day partials and flippers will fill the Gap three get a bridge this used to be the best option to replace a missing tooth before implants came along but now it's not always the best option because you have to Crown both adjacent teeth to the missing tooth so if something goes wrong in the future with one of those two teeth holding the middle tooth in the bridge you now lose the whole Bridge all three crowns plus if the tooth teeth are healthy you are putting crowns on healthy teeth that otherwise didn't need to be disturbed with the drilling in the crowns and again you can lose bone in that area over time four the best option is to get a dental implant if you can it is a standalone crown that does not Place strain on any other teeth it does not disturb the surrounding teeth and it helps keep the bone level an implant is a screw that goes directly into your bone and after it heals you get a crown that screws onto it pro tip the screw itself is called the implant the tooth portion you can see is it's called the implant crown and the abutment is what holds the two together just some dental vocabulary for you so like I said as of today implants are considered the best option to replace a missing tooth but don't get me wrong there are situations when your bone isn't high enough for the implant to be placed in this case sometimes you can get a bone graph where the dentist adds Cav bone to your bone and sutures it up and then you're all good and you're all ready for a future implant however in select cases whether it's due to other situations with your bone due to health conditions or history of taking bif phosphinates in select cases it is possible that you are not eligible for an implant how to find out if you're eligible always one make sure you provide a comprehensive updated health history for your dentist to review and two the dentist or dental surgeon will always have to take a CT scan on you before placing an implant so they can have a three-dimensional image of your jaw after a consultation with those two things your health history and your CT you will then be able to find out if you're eligible for an implant if for some reason you're not eligible it's okay your dentist will determine the next best treatment option available for your individual mouth whether it's a bridge or a partial or leaving it alone lastly if you have not yet lost your tooth in question and there is an option to save it with a root canal I'm all for trying to save your actual tooth first before you get an extraction it's always best to have your own teeth if you can however if the tooth in question is not salvageable and it needs to be removed your dentist will help guide you in the right direction for decision- making and treatment planning I hope this video helped you please like And subscribe if it did and until next time Peace Love and te [Music] The Range of Implant Treatment ### Implant Solutions for Different Levels of Tooth Loss The right approach depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of the surrounding bone and bite, and your long-term goals for stability, function, and appearance — from a single implant crown to a full-arch fixed restoration. #### Single-Tooth Implants When one tooth is missing, fractured beyond predictable repair, or no longer maintainable, a single implant replaces that tooth independently — without grinding down or involving the neighboring teeth. #### Multiple-Tooth Implants When several adjacent teeth are missing, implants can support a fixed bridge that restores the whole span — without a removable partial denture and without preparing healthy neighboring teeth. #### Implant-Retained Dentures When bone volume, anatomy, or other factors make full reconstruction less appropriate, implant-retained (overdenture) options dramatically improve denture stability and reduce movement when eating and speaking. #### Full-Arch Fixed Restoration When an entire arch needs replacing, a small number of strategically placed implants can support a fixed full-arch prosthesis that restores bite strength, stability, and appearance — no traditional removable denture. Real Patient Results ### Before & After — From Single Tooth to Full Arch Real before-and-after results from Dr. Adibe's practice show the range of implant treatment — from a single missing tooth to a full-arch restoration. More transformations are on our before & after gallery. BeforeAfter #### Single Missing Tooth Restored A single missing tooth replaced with a dental implant and a shade-matched crown — blended to the neighboring teeth so the result looks completely natural. BeforeAfter #### Multiple Teeth Replaced Several failing teeth restored with implant-supported restorations — chewing function and confidence rebuilt without relying on a removable partial. BeforeAfter #### Full-Arch Restoration An arch of missing teeth restored with a fixed, implant-supported prosthesis — a stable, lifelike replacement for a full set of teeth. How an Implant Case Is Performed ### Three Phases — Planned in 3D Before Anything Goes In Every implant case at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care follows the same disciplined sequence, planned digitally before the patient is ever touched. 1 #### 3D Planning Every case starts with a thorough consultation and a digital workup: - A cone beam CT (CBCT) 3D scan gives a 360-degree view of the jaw, bone, nerves, and sinuses. - An intraoral scan captures the existing teeth digitally — no goopy impressions. - 3D implant-planning software simulates the placement before surgery. - When precision is critical, a custom surgical guide is fabricated to position the implant exactly where the plan called for. Why this matters: implant position determines whether the final crown looks right, fits the bite, and lasts. That gets decided in planning — not at the surgical appointment. 2 #### Surgical Placement The implant is placed in a single appointment, typically under local anesthesia, with sedation available for longer or more complex cases. Most single-implant placements take less than an hour. Afterward the implant integrates with the bone over the next three to four months — the period during which the bone grows around and locks it in place. During healing you wear a temporary tooth (or a temporary bridge or denture for multi-tooth cases), so the gap is never visible. 3 #### Final Restoration Once integration is complete, the final crown, bridge, or fixed prosthesis is fabricated and attached to the implant. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe selects the material per case — zirconia for strength on back teeth, lithium disilicate (e.max) for lifelike appearance up front — designed to match your existing teeth in color, shape, and bite. Materials & Technology #### Specialty-Grade Tools for Implant Cases - Cone beam CT (CBCT) 3D imaging — shows bone height, width, density, and the position of nerves and sinuses, essential for safe placement. - Intraoral digital scanning — captures the existing teeth digitally for restoration design, replacing messy impression trays. - 3D implant-planning software + custom surgical guides — simulate the placement before surgery and guide the implant to plan. - Zirconia and lithium disilicate (e.max) ceramics — chosen per case for the right balance of strength and natural appearance. Preparation & Comfort #### What the First Visit Looks Like Your first appointment is a comprehensive consultation: medical and dental history, 3D imaging (often a CBCT), an examination of the existing teeth and tissue, and a conversation about your goals. For placement appointments, comfort options include: - Local anesthesia — sufficient for most single-tooth cases. - Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for patients who want to feel more relaxed and at ease. For patients with dental anxiety, we walk through the visit step-by-step beforehand, so the experience feels predictable rather than overwhelming. Why Patients Choose Implants ### The Benefits of Dental Implants #### Improved Oral Health - Preservation of natural teeth - Reduced risk of gum disease #### Enhanced Appearance - Natural-looking, permanent result - Improved speech and comfort #### Better Bone Health - Stimulation of natural bone - Helps prevent bone loss #### Function & Convenience - Restored ability to eat properly - No removable appliance to manage #### Confidence - No slipping or moving when you speak - Smile and laugh without worry #### Long-Term Value - Designed to last decades - An investment in lasting oral health Is This Right For You ### Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants? Dental implants may be a good fit if you are: - An adult with one or more missing or failing teeth - In good overall health, with healthy gums and adequate bone (or willing to graft) - A non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking during healing - Looking for a permanent, non-removable solution This may not be the right option if you have: - Severe uncontrolled diabetes or conditions that impair healing - Significant bone loss and are unwilling to undergo grafting - A heavy smoking habit (significantly higher failure rates) The most reliable way to know is a consultation. If you have lost all or most of your teeth, you may be a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants or an implant-supported denture. Your Options ### Single Implant vs. Bridge vs. Partial Denture Here is how a single dental implant compares to the main alternatives. Dr. Adibe reviews every option with you so you can make the best-informed decision for your situation. FeatureSingle ImplantDental BridgePartial Denture Prevents bone lossYesNoNo Affects neighboring teethNoRequires grindingHooks attach Longevity (crown)10–15+ years7–12 years5–10 years Implant post itself20+ years / lifetime—— Feels like a natural toothYesCloseNo — removable CleaningNormal flossSpecial flossersRemove and brush Common Concerns ### Common Concerns About Dental Implants These are the questions patients ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Adibe addresses each one honestly at your consultation. "Dental implants are too expensive" The upfront cost is higher than a bridge or partial, but implants last decades and prevent bone loss — often costing less per year over a lifetime. Payment options make treatment more accessible. We provide a clear estimate at your consultation. "I'm nervous about the surgery" Placement is performed under local anesthesia, with nitrous oxide available for relaxation. Most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction, and CBCT planning shortens surgical time and recovery. "Will the implant really last?" With proper care — daily brushing and flossing, regular cleanings, and no smoking — the titanium implant itself typically lasts decades. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years, but the implant stays in place. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every procedure has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins. - Post-surgical infection at the implant site - Failure of osseointegration (the implant does not fuse with the bone) - Nerve irritation or injury (minimized by CBCT planning) - Sinus involvement for upper-jaw implants - Peri-implantitis (bone loss around the implant) if hygiene is neglected - The crown or abutment may need replacement over time Our Clinical Approach ### Why a Prosthodontist for Implants A dental implant is the closest replacement to a natural tooth available in modern dentistry. It fuses with the jawbone through osseointegration and, unlike a bridge, does not rely on neighboring teeth for support — preserving more of the natural structure. The single biggest factor in long-term implant success is planning. CBCT 3D imaging is used for every implant case at Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care to map bone volume, nerve position, and sinus proximity before surgery. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe plans the surgical placement and the final restoration as one connected case — so the finished tooth fits the bite and matches the smile, not just the gap. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Cranbury What is a dental implant, in simple terms?A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months — a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, a custom crown (or a bridge or denture, depending on the case) attaches to the implant and replaces what is visible above the gum. The result functions like a natural tooth: you brush, floss, and chew with it the same way. Am I a candidate for dental implants?Most patients with adequate jawbone and healthy gums are candidates. The workup checks bone height, bone width, gum health, and the position of nerves and the sinuses. Patients with limited bone may need a bone graft first, or may be better suited to an implant-retained denture. Patients with active gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or heavy tobacco use may need to address those factors first. A consultation with Dr. Adibe answers the candidacy question definitively. How long does the whole process take?Most single-tooth implant cases run three to four months from placement to final crown — most of that time is the healing phase while the implant integrates with the bone. Multi-tooth cases run on a similar timeline. Full-arch cases can be longer when extractions or grafting are part of the plan. Your exact timeline is mapped out at the planning visit. Does getting an implant hurt?Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report less discomfort than they expected — many compare it to a routine extraction. CBCT planning shortens surgical time and recovery. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and is managed with over-the-counter medication in most cases. How do I take care of dental implants?Implant-supported teeth are brushed and flossed much like natural teeth. Multi-tooth bridges and full-arch prostheses may need a floss threader or water flosser to clean underneath. With consistent home care and regular professional cleanings, the implant itself can last decades — and often a lifetime. What materials are used for the crown on the implant?Most modern implant crowns are zirconia or lithium disilicate (e.max). Zirconia is favored for back teeth where strength matters most; e.max for front teeth where lifelike appearance is the priority. Both look natural and hold their color over time. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe selects the material per tooth rather than applying one choice across the board. How long do dental implants last?With proper care, the titanium implant itself is designed to last 20+ years and often a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10–15 years of normal wear, but the implant post typically remains stable in the bone for decades. Does insurance cover dental implants?Coverage varies widely. Some plans cover a portion of the crown or abutment but not the implant post itself. We verify your benefits and provide a personalized estimate at your consultation, and we offer payment options to make treatment manageable. What are the risks of dental implants?Implant placement carries risks including infection at the site, failure of osseointegration (the implant not fusing with the bone), nerve irritation, sinus involvement for upper-jaw implants, and peri-implantitis (bone loss around the implant) if hygiene is neglected. Dr. Adibe uses CBCT imaging and a careful medical-history review to minimize these risks. Is there an implant dentist near me in Cranbury?Yes.

Sports the ADA recommends one for Types of mouthguards Taking care of your mouthguard Mouthguards and braces Frequently asked questions Protect Your Smile ### Why Wear a Mouthguard? Whether you wear braces or not, protecting your smile while playing sports is essential. Injuries to the mouth and jaw are some of the most common injuries received by athletes. Mouthguards help protect your teeth and gums. Our goal is to help minimize your chances of a sports related injury. Be sure to ask your dentist about mouthguards at your next dental checkup — GO TEAM! What this means: a few dollars and a moment of habit can prevent a knocked-out or broken tooth on the field. ADA Recommended ### Sports That Call for a Mouthguard It is recommended by the American Dental Association that you wear a mouthguard if you participate in any of these sports: #### Contact Sports Basketball, boxing, hockey, football, lacrosse, rugby, martial arts, water polo, and wrestling. #### Court & Field Soccer, volleyball, racquetball, and track and field. #### Board & Wheels Skateboarding, skiing and snowboarding, surfing, and skydiving. #### Strength & Skill Gymnastics and weightlifting. Choosing the Right One ### Types of Mouthguards Choosing the right mouthguard is important. There are three basic types. When you choose a mouthguard, be sure to pick one that is tear-resistant, well fitted for your mouth and easy to keep clean — and make sure it does not prevent you from breathing properly during use. #### Pre-Made The pre-made (stock) mouthguard is ready to wear out of the package. It is the least customized of the three options. #### Boil-and-Bite The “boil-and-bite” fitted mouthguard is softened in hot water and then shaped to your teeth for a closer fit. #### Custom-Made A custom-made mouthguard is fitted specifically to your mouth — tear-resistant, well fitted, easy to keep clean, and made so it doesn’t prevent proper breathing. Taking Care of Your Mouthguard ### Keep It Clean and Working Similar to a retainer, braces, or any other special dental appliance, it is important to take care of your mouthguard by storing it properly and keeping it clean. Here are a few simple ways to keep your mouthguard clean and working correctly: #### Scrub After Use Gently scrub your mouthguard after each use with a toothbrush and toothpaste. #### Store Safely Store your mouthguard in a protective case. #### Keep It Cool Do not leave your mouthguard in the sun or in hot water; it may melt or become deformed. #### Replace Seasonally Replace your mouthguard at the beginning of every new sports season, or if it has become worn and no longer fits properly. #### Don't Chew It Do not chew on or cut pieces off of your mouthguard. #### Bring It to Checkups Bring your mouthguard to each dental checkup, and your dentist can check to make sure it’s still in good shape. If You Wear Braces ### Mouthguards and Braces If you wear braces or a retainer, it is imperative for you to wear a mouthguard. Your dentist can show you how to wear a mouthguard properly and how to choose the right mouthguard to protect your smile. Do not wear a retainer with your mouthguard. If you wear braces, your dentist will help design a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your braces. Our Clinical Approach ### A Guard That Actually Gets Worn A mouthguard only protects your smile if it fits well, is comfortable, and does not prevent you from breathing properly — which is why a custom-made guard, fitted to your mouth, is so much more likely to be worn than a bulky stock guard. As a prosthodontist who builds custom oral appliances, Dr. Adibe can design a mouthguard that fits your teeth (and your braces, if you wear them), so protecting your smile on the field becomes effortless. Ask about a mouthguard at your next checkup.

I wear braces — do I still need a mouthguard?Yes. If you wear braces or a retainer, it is imperative for you to wear a mouthguard. Do not wear a retainer with your mouthguard. If you wear braces, your dentist will help design a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your braces. How do I care for my mouthguard?Gently scrub your mouthguard after each use with a toothbrush and toothpaste, store it in a protective case, and don't leave it in the sun or hot water or it may melt or become deformed. Don't chew on or cut pieces off it, and bring it to each dental checkup so your dentist can make sure it's still in good shape.

What untreated grinding leads to How a nightguard helps Types of nightguards Why a custom nightguard Frequently asked questions The Condition ### What Is Bruxism? If you often wake up with jaw pain, earaches, or headaches, or if you find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth, you may have a common condition called bruxism. Although the causes of bruxism are not really known, several factors may be involved. Stressful situations at home, school, or work, problems in sleeping, an abnormal bite, and crooked or missing teeth may contribute to bruxism. Many people do not even know that they grind their teeth, as it often occurs when one is sleeping. What this means: grinding often goes unnoticed because it happens in your sleep — the morning symptoms are the clue. Why It Matters ### What Untreated Grinding Leads To If not corrected, bruxism can lead to lasting damage. A nightguard is an easy way to prevent the wear and damage that teeth-grinding cause over time. #### Broken Teeth Persistent grinding can break teeth under the repeated force of clenching. #### Cracked Teeth Cracks can develop in teeth that are ground night after night. #### Damaged Restorations Grinding can damage existing dental restorations such as crowns and fillings. #### Tooth Loss If not corrected, bruxism can even lead to tooth loss over time. The Treatment ### How a Nightguard Helps There is an easy, non-invasive treatment for bruxism: nightguards. Nightguards are an easy way to prevent the wear and damage that teeth-grinding cause over time. Custom-made by your dentist from soft material to fit your teeth, a nightguard is inserted over your top or bottom arch and prevents contact with the opposing teeth — so the guard absorbs the force instead of your teeth. Choosing the Right One ### Types of Nightguards Choosing the right nightguard is essential. There are three basic types. When you choose a nightguard, be sure to pick one that is tear-resistant, comfortable and well fitted for your mouth, easy to keep clean, and does not prevent you from breathing properly. #### Pre-Made The pre-made nightguard is ready to wear out of the package — the least customized of the three options. #### Boil-and-Bite The “boil-and-bite” nightguard is softened and then shaped to your teeth for a closer fit. #### Custom-Made A custom-made nightguard from our office is made just for your teeth — tear-resistant, comfortable, well fitted, easy to keep clean, and made so it doesn’t prevent proper breathing.

As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe is especially attentive to protecting your bite and any existing restorations from the damage grinding causes. A guard that fits your teeth precisely is the one you’ll actually wear — and the one that prevents broken teeth, cracked teeth, and damaged restorations over time.

Specialized surgical training Conditions and treatments Outpatient anesthesia What to know Frequently asked questions Oral Surgeons: Changing Lives with a Smile ### Specialized Surgical Training Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the only recognized dental specialists who, after completing dental school, are surgically trained in an American Dental Association-accredited hospital-based residency program for a minimum of four years. They train alongside medical residents in internal medicine, general surgery and anesthesiology and also spend time in otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), plastic surgery, emergency medicine and other specialty areas. Their training focuses almost exclusively on the hard and soft tissue of the face, mouth and jaws, and their knowledge and surgical expertise uniquely qualify them to diagnose and treat the functional and esthetic conditions in this part of the body. Conditions and Treatments ### A Wide Range of Conditions Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon has many years of education and hands-on training to provide treatment for a wide range of conditions. ### Corrective Jaw Surgery Corrective jaw or orthognathic surgery is performed in which the upper jaw, lower jaw and chin may be repositioned to correct minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of jaws and teeth which can improve chewing, speaking and breathing. Difficulty chewing or biting food, excessive wear of teeth, a receding chin, a protruding jaw or sleep apnea may indicate the need for corrective jaw surgery. ### Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes they emerge from the gum line, and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them, but more often than not, they fail to emerge and become impacted. When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it may need to be removed. Impacted wisdom teeth that are partially or fully erupted tend to be quite difficult to clean and are susceptible to tooth decay, recurring infections and even gum disease. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons strongly recommends that wisdom teeth be removed by the time the patient is a young adult in order to prevent future problems and to ensure optimal healing. ### Cleft Palate Cleft lip and cleft palate result when all or portions of the mouth and nasal cavity do not grow together properly during fetal development. The result is a gap in the lip or a split in the opening in the roof of the mouth. Until it is treated with surgery, a cleft palate can cause problems with feeding, speech and hearing. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons work as part of a team of health care specialists to correct these problems through a series of treatments and surgical procedures over many years. ### Facial Trauma Maxillofacial injuries or facial trauma encompass any injury to the mouth, face and jaw. One of the most common types of serious injury to the face occurs when bones are broken. Fractures can involve the lower jaw, upper jaw, palate, cheekbones, eye sockets or combinations of these bones. These injuries can affect sight and the ability to breathe, speak and swallow. Because of this, the expertise of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is indispensable. Avoiding injury is always best, so it is extremely important to use seat belts, protective mouth guards and appropriate masks and helmets for everyone who participates in athletic pursuits at any level. ### Temporomandibular Joint Surgery The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a small joint located in front of the ear where the skull and lower jaw meet and allows the lower jaw to move and function. If you experience jaw pain, earaches, headaches, a limited ability to open or close your mouth, clicking or grating sounds, you may have Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). TMJ treatment may range from conservative dental and medical care to complex surgery. If non-surgical treatment is unsuccessful or if there is clear joint damage, surgery may be indicated which can involve either arthroscopy or repair of damaged tissue by a direct surgical approach. ### Oral Cancer Oral and maxillofacial surgeons recommend that everyone perform an oral cancer self-exam each month. If you notice white or red patches, an abnormal lump, chronic sore throat or hoarseness or difficulty chewing or swallowing, you should contact your oral and maxillofacial surgeon. They will remove a section of tissue to perform a biopsy and accurately diagnose the problem. Our practice also offers VELscope oral cancer screening as part of routine care. ### Implants Dental implants are long-term replacements for missing teeth that your oral and maxillofacial surgeon surgically places in the jawbone. Composed of titanium metal that fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, dental implants never slip and never decay. Because dental implants fuse with the jawbone, bone loss is generally not a problem. Learn more about our implant services. ### Outpatient Anesthesia Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have the ability to provide patients with safe, effective outpatient anesthesia including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation and general anesthesia. During their surgical residency, residents must complete a rotation on the medical anesthesiology service where they become competent in evaluating patients for anesthesia, delivering the anesthetic and monitoring post-anesthetic patients. Comfort & Safety ### Outpatient Anesthesia Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have the ability to provide patients with safe, effective outpatient anesthesia including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation and general anesthesia. During their surgical residency, residents must complete a rotation on the medical anesthesiology service where they become competent in evaluating patients for anesthesia, delivering the anesthetic and monitoring post-anesthetic patients — so your comfort and safety are managed throughout the procedure. Reviewed by Dr. Adibe · Clearbrook Advanced Dental Care, Cranbury, NJ What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Surgical procedures carry risks that should be reviewed as part of informed consent. These are discussed thoroughly before any treatment, and outpatient anesthesia is managed by surgeons trained to evaluate, deliver, and monitor it. - Post-surgical infection at the surgical site - Bleeding or swelling after the procedure - Nerve irritation or injury, which can cause temporary or lasting numbness - Anesthesia-related considerations, which is why anesthesia is delivered by trained surgeons who monitor you throughout Common Questions ### Frequently Asked Questions About Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?Oral and maxillofacial surgery is surgery to correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Care provided by Dr. Elo Adibe, D.M.D. — prosthodontist, member of the American College of Prosthodontists and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Meet Dr. Adibe → Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20-30 times per hour. Are you drowsy during the day with no explanation? Do you snore loudly or wake up breathless in the middle of the night? If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be one of more than 12 million Americans who are affected by sleep apnea. Contact our Cranbury practice or call (609) 395-9100. What is sleep apnea? Signs of sleep apnea Types of sleep apnea Risk factors Is it dangerous? How it's treated What you should do Frequently asked questions The Condition ### What Is Sleep Apnea? Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20-30 times per hour. Each time you stop breathing in your sleep, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing. Since the time spent awake is so brief, most people with sleep apnea don't remember it, and many believe they are getting a good night's sleep when, in fact, they are not. The constant wake-sleep, wake-sleep cycle prevents those with sleep apnea from achieving deep sleep, resulting in a constant drowsy feeling during the day. What this means: you can feel exhausted every day without realizing your sleep is being interrupted dozens of times an hour. Know the Signs ### Signs of Sleep Apnea The following symptoms can indicate the presence of sleep apnea. If you notice one or more of these, contact our practice. #### Sleep Disruption Insomnia or difficulty sleeping, and waking up at night short of breath. #### Loud Snoring Loud snoring at night, with snorting or choking sounds that indicate a restart of breathing. #### Morning Headaches Headaches upon waking in the morning, a common sign of interrupted, low-oxygen sleep. #### Daytime Drowsiness Falling asleep unintentionally during the day and extreme drowsiness throughout the day. Three Categories ### Are There Different Types of Sleep Apnea? There are three categories of sleep apnea. #### Obstructive (OSA) The most common type, OSA occurs due to a physical blockage, usually the collapsing of the soft tissue in the back of the throat. #### Central (CSA) Less common, central sleep apnea occurs when breathing stops because the muscles involved don’t receive the proper signal from the brain. #### Mixed / Complex Some people suffer from “mixed” or “complex” sleep apnea, which is a combination of obstructive and central. Who's Affected ### What Are Risk Factors for Sleep Apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea is more common in males than females, and more common in older adults (40+) than younger adults and children. However, anyone — regardless of gender or age — can suffer from sleep apnea. Other risk factors include obesity, smoking, drinking, use of sedatives or tranquilizers, and family history. Central sleep apnea strikes most often in people with heart disorders, neuromuscular disorders, strokes, or brain tumors. Why It Matters ### Is Sleep Apnea Dangerous? Sleep apnea is considered a serious medical problem and if left untreated it can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart failure and stroke. The ongoing state of fatigue caused by sleep apnea can lead to problems at work or school, as well as danger when driving or operating heavy machinery. Sleep apnea can also cause complications with medication or surgery; sedation by anesthesia can be risky, as can lying flat in bed after an operation. If you know or suspect you suffer from sleep apnea, let your family doctor know before taking prescribed medication or having surgery. Your Options ### How Is Sleep Apnea Treated? Treatments for sleep apnea depend on the severity of each individual case, and the type of apnea. #### Behavioral Basic treatment can be behavioral — patients are instructed to lose weight, stop smoking, or sleep on their sides instead of on their backs. #### Oral Devices Oral devices can be used to position the mouth in such a way that prevents throat blockage. Depending on your situation, we can custom-create one for you. #### Surgery In more severe cases, surgery may be the best option. A specialist can determine whether surgery is appropriate for your case. Our Clinical Approach ### What Should I Do if I Suspect Sleep Apnea? Contact our practice, and we can refer you to a sleep apnea specialist. The specialist may recommend a sleep study to diagnose the precise extent of the problem, and can prescribe appropriate treatment. Depending on your situation, treatment may involve an oral device that we can custom-create for you. As a prosthodontist experienced in custom oral appliances, Dr. Adibe works with your medical team so that, when an oral device is the right answer, it fits comfortably and does its job — positioning the mouth to keep the airway open.

Know Your Risk ### Risk Factors for Oral Cancer Risk factors for oral cancer include the following. While men above the age of 50 are typically at the most risk, there has been a recent increase in the number of women with oral cancer due to a connection between oral cancer and the human papilloma virus (HPV-16). #### Tobacco Use Frequent use of tobacco products — cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco. #### Alcohol Excessive consumption of alcohol is a known risk factor for oral cancer. #### Genetics A family history of oral cancer or any type of cancer increases risk. #### Sun Exposure Excessive exposure to the sun at a young age is also a risk factor. How VELscope Works ### Special Light, Clearer View The VELscope screening system consists of a specialized white light source and viewing scope that make it easier for your doctor to look closely at the tissues inside your mouth. Normal tissues will almost glow a bright green color. Abnormal tissue shows up much darker under the special light. This makes it easier to spot changes that might otherwise be missed — supporting the early detection that plays such a major role in survival. Our Clinical Approach ### What an Abnormal Screening Means An abnormal screening does not always mean that the patient has cancer. If an abnormal screening occurs, your doctor may schedule a second scan later to see if the dark spots disappear, or may choose to perform a gentle, non-invasive brush biopsy to make sure it’s not cancer. Dr. Adibe includes oral cancer screening as part of attentive routine care — because catching a change early is one of the most valuable things a dental visit can do. If anything looks unusual, the next step is a careful, measured follow-up, not alarm. Oral cancer is also addressed within our oral and maxillofacial surgery services.

Meet Dr. Adibe → You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth.

Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.

Veneers vs. crowns vs. whitening Common concerns What to know Frequently asked questions The Treatment ### What Are Veneers and How Are They Made? Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain. They are designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, your doctor will create a unique model of your teeth. This model is sent to a dental technician who creates your veneers. Before placing your new veneer, your doctor may need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result. What this means: each veneer is built specifically for your tooth and bonded to the front surface, so the result is custom to your smile — not a one-size-fits-all overlay. What Veneers Can Correct ### Minor Adjustments, Major Difference Veneers are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile. These are the imperfections veneers are designed to cover. #### Gaps Spaces between teeth can be closed cosmetically by covering the front surface with custom-fit shells. #### Chips Chipped or worn edges are restored to a smooth, even shape that blends with the rest of your smile. #### Stains Discoloration that does not respond to whitening can be covered, and veneers themselves are stain-resistant. #### Misshapen Teeth Teeth that are uneven or oddly shaped can be reshaped to look natural and proportional. After Your Treatment ### Caring for Your New Veneers When your veneers are placed, you’ll be pleased to see that they look like your natural teeth. While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile. Beyond that, veneers are cared for like the rest of your teeth: daily brushing and flossing and regular professional cleanings keep both your veneers and the natural teeth underneath them healthy. Is This Right For You ### Are Veneers Right for Me? Veneers may be a good fit if you: - Want to correct gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth - Are looking to make minor adjustments to the look of your smile - Have generally healthy teeth and gums - Want a stain-resistant, natural-looking result Another option may suit you better if you: - Have a heavily damaged or decayed tooth — a crown may be more appropriate - Only want to brighten the shade — teeth whitening may be enough - Grind your teeth and have not addressed it — a nightguard protects your investment A consultation with Dr. Adibe is the most reliable way to know.

Dr. Adibe addresses each one at your consultation. "Will they look fake?" When your veneers are placed, you'll be pleased to see that they look like your natural teeth. Each one is custom-made and color-matched to your smile. "Will they stain over time?" Veneers are stain-resistant. To maintain the beauty of your new smile, Dr. Adibe may recommend limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. "Is the tooth changed permanently?" Your doctor may need to conservatively prepare the tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result, removing only what is needed. This is reviewed with you before treatment. What to Know ### Risks and Considerations Every cosmetic treatment has tradeoffs, and a transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Adibe reviews these at your consultation. - Preparing a tooth for a veneer involves removing a thin layer of enamel, which is not reversible - Veneers can chip or come loose over time and may eventually need replacement - A prepared tooth may feel temporarily sensitive - Teeth grinding can shorten the life of a veneer — a nightguard is often recommended Our Clinical Approach ### Conservative, Custom Cosmetic Dentistry Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of your teeth. As a prosthodontist — the dental specialty focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth — Dr. Adibe approaches a veneer case as a custom design problem: each unique model of your teeth is built to match the shape, proportion, and shade of your smile. Because preparing a tooth for a veneer is not reversible, his preference is to remove only what is needed to achieve the desired aesthetic result, and to confirm that veneers — rather than whitening or a crown — are the right tool for your goals before any treatment begins.

As a prosthodontist, Dr. Adibe matches the shape, size, and shade of each veneer to your smile so the result looks natural rather than artificial. How do I care for my new veneers?While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile. Otherwise, you brush and floss veneers like your natural teeth and keep regular checkups. Are veneers permanent?Because placing veneers may involve conservatively preparing the tooth, that step is not reversible. Dr. Adibe removes only what is needed to achieve the desired aesthetic result, and reviews this with you before treatment so you can make an informed choice. Who is a good candidate for veneers?Veneers are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile — correcting gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. A consultation with Dr. Adibe at our Cranbury office confirms whether veneers are right for your goals. Medical Disclaimer This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute dental or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Preparing a tooth for a veneer involves irreversible removal of enamel. Consult Dr. Adibe or a qualified dental professional regarding any questions about your oral health. Individual results may vary. ## Ready to Transform Your Smile?
