Replace Missing Teeth for a Great Smile with Dental Implants in Edison, NJ
February 20, 2014
Having one or more missing teeth isn’t only physically uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing in social settings; allowing lost teeth to remain as such can lead to a number of detrimental conditions like periodontitis and the abnormal drifting of surrounding teeth. At Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld in Edison, NJ, we care about your happiness as much as we do with your overall oral health. We want to show you how dental implants can change your life by replacing missing teeth permanently.
Why Should I Choose Dental Implants?
The main reason that dental implants are generally a superior choice over other options is that they’re incredibly durable, versatile, long-lasting and don’t require any specialized care. Unlike many other restorative dental procedures – including crowns, dentures and bridges – dental implants are more like natural teeth in that they are actually attached to your jaw bone. A titanium post is inserted into the bone tissue, bone that will eventually come to fuse around the implant as it would a tooth’s root. The carefully crafted crown that is then placed on top of the post looks and feels like a natural tooth; it is even matched to to suit the color of the existing teeth surrounding it. No one will ever be able to tell that it’s not your own tooth!
Reclaim Your Beautiful Smile
If you’ve ever felt that having missing teeth is just something you have to learn to live with, we encourage you to contact our Edison, NJ to explore your options for tooth replacement with dental implants. Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld proudly serve patients from the areas of Scotch Plains, Colonia, Plainfield, Clark, Westfield and beyond.
Get Rid of Bad Breath Fast with Tips from the Team at Resnick & Rosenfeld
February 3, 2014
Though it happens to us all at one point or another, bad breath is always embarrassing when it hits. Whether it’s a problem you only deal with after eating certain foods or you’ve noticed that it’s a common occurrence, you want to know how to address it as soon as possible. At Resnick & Rosenfeld in Edison, NJ, our expert team of dentists and hygienists wants to give you the tools you need to banish bad breath once and for all.
Find the Cause, Find the Treatment
For some people, chronic bad breath can signify an underlying health concern that must be assessed by a medical professional. Certain patients with liver problems, for example, may experience an unpleasant odor and taste in their mouth when their liver is unable to sufficiently eliminate toxins in the body. If, however, you know that your bad breath is not caused by a medical issue, there are certain things you can do to keep it at bay. Try the following:
- Use a tongue scraper. Bacteria tends to accumulate on the tongue, especially in the back near your throat, even when you brush and floss regularly. A tongue scraper can effectively remove the bacterial plaque that hides between your taste buds to quell bad breath.
- Swish with antibacterial mouthwash every time you brush. This not only helps to kill bacteria that are currently present in your mouth, but may help to defend your teeth and soft tissues from future buildup.
- Chew sugar-free gums and breath mints. While these only mask the problem of bad breath temporarily, they can help keep you out of embarrassing social situations until you’ve had a chance to address the root problem.
- Avoid problem foods. Foods like onion, garlic and dairy products are notorious for causing an undesirable odor in the moist environment of the mouth.
If chronic bad breath has caused you social embarrassment one too many times and you’re ready to make a positive change in your life, contact us at our Edison, NJ to see how Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld can help you. We also proudly serve the areas of Scotch Plains, Colonia, Plainfield, Clark, Westfield and beyond.
Straighten Your Smile with Invisalign Clear Braces!
January 22, 2014
Many people have reservations regarding their smile for many reasons, especially if your teeth are misaligned or your bite is off. Though you may think there is not a solution aside from traditional braces, you are wrong. Our amazing team at Resnick & Rosenfeld is proud to offer Invisalign Clear Braces to our patients!
Invisalign is better than traditional braces because they are virtually invisible on your teeth! There are no wires or brackets involved, leaving your more comfortable and confident in your smile. Using innovative technology, Invisalign gently straightens your teeth and aligns your bite between 6-24 months. Invisalign involves a series of aligners, each one representing a different stage in your straightening process, so you never wear the same aligner twice. Invisalign aligners are made to fit your mouth and your mouth only, and gently straighten your teeth, eliminating a lot of the pain associated with braces. You simply wear one retainer for two weeks, and then move to the next stage!
There are a lot of plusses associated with Invisalign, one of them being better oral health. At any point where you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss, you simply remove the retainer, and then reapply it when you are done. You also will be able to avoid the mouth full of metal you may have been worried about. With Invisalign, you look as natural as ever, doing your job while the braces do theirs. If you have any questions about Invisalign and how it can improve your smile, make an appointment at our office, and we’ll be glad to help!

Fear of The Dentist? We Can Help!
December 30, 2013
Whether it is heights, spiders, or the dark, many people live with many different fears. One of the most common fears is the fear of the dentist. For some, the fear is very mild, only making them feel anxious. For others, however, the fear can be crippling, preventing them from having much needed dental work done. At Resnick & Rosenfeld, our experienced team offers nitrous oxide to fear your dental fears!
Many people have dental woes because of past experiences visiting their dentist. We take your concerns into account, striving to give you the best experience possible. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is administered through a face mask. We are able to control the amount of nitrous you get, making sure you are as safe as possible. The gas makes you feel relaxed and alleviates you of pain during your dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is a conscious anesthesia, so you are able to respond to the doctor while he is performing the work.
There are many benefits to nitrous oxide, one of them being you are able to carry on after the procedure. The effects of the nitrous dissipate after the mask is removed, so you do not need to find a ride after your work is done. Another is that your body will be able to heal quicker. When the body is anxious and in defense mode, it makes it more difficult to perform normal bodily functions, one of which is healing itself. When you are relaxed, your body is able to heal itself quicker and more efficiently. If you have any questions about how our team can help you with your dental woes, make an appointment!

Nitrous Oxide Can Help Edison Patients Relax At Last and Receive the Dental Care They Need to Smile Brighter
December 6, 2013
Dental fear is a very common and very real problem among Americans – in fact, a vast majority of the population has reported in various studies that they experience some level of anxiety or stress when faced with an impending visit to their local dentist. Here at Resnick and Rosenfeld, DDS, our team understands and empathizes with how crippling this fear can be; however, it’s important for patients in Edison and beyond to maintain regular check-ups with our office so that they can receive the crucial oral health care they need to keep their smile happy and healthy. After all, if left untreated for too longer, dental problems can get out of hand and end up requiring even more time and money to fix than before. So what can you do to overcome your dental anxiety? Thankfully, Dr. Resnick and Dr. Rosenfeld offer a solution: nitrous oxide. With this effective sedation dentistry method, we can help take the edge off of your negative feelings, allowing you to feel comfortable and content as we do all the heavy lifting.
How does nitrous oxide work?
It’s simple – once you’ve settled into your comfy seat, we’ll administer nitrous oxide through a mask that fits over your nose, and very quickly, you’ll begin to experience feelings of comfort, warmth, and even maybe euphoria.

Protect Your Smile from the Threat of Gum Disease with Help from Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld
November 22, 2013
Many dental patients are surprised to learn the most common threat their oral health faces isn’t something obvious like common cavities or grinding – in fact, it’s an ailment that doesn’t directly affect your teeth at all. Nearly 80% of the population suffers from a stage of periodontal disease (also referred to as gum disease), and although this condition only exhibits mild symptoms in the early stages, it can lead to devastating consequences if left untreated, include jawbone deterioration and tooth loss. Studies have even shown that its presence can worsen illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Here in at Resnick and Rosenfeld, DDS in Edison, our team takes the threat of periodontal disease very seriously; that’s why we rely on microscopic analysis, which can predict (even in its earliest stages) which patients have the potential to develop the condition. If you’re between check-ups, however, Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld still want you to feel well-informed when it comes to your oral health. Here are some common symptoms concerning periodontal disease that you can keep an eye out for in the comfort of your own home:
- Bleeding that occurs during or after brushing/flossing
- Gums that appear red, swollen, or tender
- Bad breath that isn’t helped by brushing, flossing, or mouthwash
- Teeth that appear longer (this means your gumline is receding)
- A sudden change in the way your bite fits together
It’s crucial to remember, though, that in many cases of periodontal disease, symptoms won’t develop at all for some time. That’s why attending regular check-ups at our office is key! Our team specializes in anti-infective, non-surgical periodontal disease treatment that helps patients avoid surgery allows natural healing to occur in your gums.

Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld Can Help Bring Back Infected Teeth from the Brink with Root Canal Therapy
November 4, 2013
Out of all the dental procedures a person can undergo, “root canal” always seems to be the phrase that sends potential patients running for the door. It seems that over time, the procedure has developed a bad reputation for being a needlessly invasive and painful procedure. While this may have been true in the past when more rudimentary tools and procedures were relied on, our team at Resnick and Rosenfeld, DDS, is happy to be the first to let you know that today, root canal therapy is a perfectly smooth and simple procedure when supplemented with advanced anesthesia and technology options. In fact, the procedure can rescue severely injured or decayed teeth that are facing extraction and restore them to full health! Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld understand how important it for patients to retain their natural pearly whites; that’s why they’re happy to offer root canal therapy at their Edison, NJ office as way to keep patients’ smiles safe and whole for years to come!
What happens during root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy takes only one appointment to complete, and the process is simple enough. We’ll create an opening in the affected tooth so as to thoroughly clean out the bacteria and diseased pulp within the canals that have been causing the problem. Then, we’ll seal off the area to protect it from further infection. Finally, we’ll create a customized crown that will fully restore the tooth’s form and function. When we’re finished, it’ll be difficult to tell there was ever anything wrong with the tooth in the first place!
Okay, but will it hurt?
Thankfully, most people who undergo root canal therapy say that the procedure hurts no more than receiving a common filling does. In fact, we think root canal therapy’s benefits far outweigh any momentary discomfort – it has an incredibly high success rate, and many teeth that are treated go on to last a lifetime. Isn’t that something to smile about?
