Edgewater Dental Associates welcomes you to our web site. We offer complete family dentistry to the northern New Jersey area, and children are welcome. Our office offers a new drill-less dentistry technology (KCP) that can be used in many procedures as a more comfortable alternative to the traditional drill. Were also concerned about x-ray exposure, so we use the Computed Dental Radiography system (CDR) for up to 90% less radiation than typical x-ray technology.

One of our highest priorities here at Edgewater Dental Associates has always been infection control and the maintenance of a sterile environment. We therefore use distilled water with medical filters for all dental treatments - as well as for the cleaning and sterilization of all dental instruments.

Our office offers a new drill-less technology that can be used in many procedures as a more comfortable alternative to the dental drill. Thanks to this new technology, we can provide you with attractive, tooth-colored mercury-free fillings faster and easier than ever before.

Kinetic Cavity Preparation or KCP is a new technology that can be used as an alternative to the drill in many procedures. A microscopically fine powder (a biocompatible substance long used in medicine and food) is carried to the tooth by a stream of air, gently spraying away decay. In a simple sense, you could say it works like a precise miniature sandblaster. Thanks to its precision and gentleness, the KCP allows us to treat decay at an earlier stage without as much removal of healthy tooth material, thereby helping to preserve the strength of the tooth. Teeth treated this way may be less likely to required crowns in the future. Smaller fillings are less susceptible to wear and may last longer.

Most stains can be removed or reduced by professional cleaning. But when that doesnt work to your liking, professional bleaching lightens stains or discoloration for a brighter smile. Here at Edgewater Dental, we use the following products and techniques.

The Zoom! In-Office Whitening System is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It's safe, effective, and fast, very fast. In just over an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter. Zoom! Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of Zoom! in comparison to days of wearing trays and gradual whitening makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The Zoom! Whitening procedure is simple and painless. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The Zoom! clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom! Whitening Gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You'll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.

Ask Dr. Blaustein how the Zoom! In-Office Whitening System will work for you. Take your first step to feeling good, looking great and making a memorable impression every time you smile. You owe it to yourself!

Day White is the latest technology in tooth whitening, and is far superior to over-the-counter whitening techniques. It is more effective, better tasting, and can be used during the day or evening while sleeping.

Day White is a dual component tooth whitening system. Its cool mint flavored gel is mixed with an activator at the time of application. The system contains a unique blend of natural soothers, conditioners, and flavor enhancers.
