The team at Unique Family Dentistry believe in the importance of preventative care. We focus on keeping patients in good oral health so that they can live a full, healthy, and enjoyable life that is free from oral pain. This starts by educating our patients on what they can do to stay healthy at home. In our family dentist office we recommend that patients eat a healthy diet that consists of green leafy vegetables, lean protein, nuts, dairy products, and crunchy fruits and veggies. Eating these foods along with drinking water can help to keep teeth healthy and make them stronger. By simultaneously reducing sugar intake, patients can also reduce their risk of cavities.
It is also important to brush and floss throughout the day. Instead of waiting for bedtime to brush teeth, carry a small toothbrush and use it after meals and snacks. This makes it possible to remove sugar and bacteria from the teeth and gums before it has the opportunity to turn into acid that can attack the teeth. This preventative step can greatly reduce a persons' risk of getting a cavity or gum disease. We understand the importance of taking these steps at home and will spend the time necessary to educate and inform patients so that they can stay healthy overall. Education, after all, is essential for living a long and healthy life.
Understanding the importance of these regular dental exams, the staff at Unique Family Dentistry work to make each patient extremely comfortable. This includes being welcoming and kind while performing dental treatments in a way that is painless and relaxing. Patients visit our dentist office because they trust us to do just that take care of their teeth and gums, gently. The majority of our patients are local and come from the greater Linden area, we also see patients that are looking for gentle dental care.
Seniors, on the other hand, often struggle with gum disease and oral infections. As people age, their teeth can become weaker and infected more easily. Bone loss is incredibly common with seniors and by conducting regular dental exams, the team at Unique Family Dentistry can help seniors to have strong teeth and reduce the risk of them falling out. Since over seventy percent of U.S. adults suffer from tooth loss, preventative care is important.
A. Primary, or 'baby,' teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to come in.
A. First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and place a cold compress on the face if it is swollen. Give the child acetaminophen for any pain, rather than placing aspirin on the teeth or gums. Finally, see a dentist as soon as possible.
A. Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years.
A. Have your family dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride), then we may prescribe fluoride supplements.
A. Soft plastic mouthguards can be used to protect teeth, lips, cheeks and gums from sport related injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard will protect your teeth from injuries and even provide protection from severe injuries to the head.
A. There is very little risk in dental X-rays. Family dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which you and your family are exposed. Lead aprons and high-speed film are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation. Digital x-rays provide an even greater level of protection by using up to 90 percent less radiation.
Your family dentist reiterates the importance of regular cleanings for a reason. For optimal oral health, daily oral care, and regular visits to the dental office are crucial. You may think you do an excellent job of cleaning your teeth at home, but it is hardly ever enough as regular toothbrushes cannot reach certain parts

The absolute worst dentist experience ever! We took my stepdaughter for a bump on her gums... She came out within 2 minutes. Dentist said she had performed a full cleaning.. my stepdaughter said nobody even touched her teeth... We asked to speak to the doctor, who rudely confronted my stepdaughter about why she was lying... then she insisted she did the full cleaning within those 2 minutes, then kicked us out of the office. Would not recommend at all!

I bring my son to talk to Dr. Ghaffari all the time. My son is so comfortable with her and he adores her. My experience has been amazing since I've been going there.

If I could give zero stars I would. Place is filthy, dirty and an absolute joke! Not to mention lying about what's being done and denying it. Both my children went for their "6 months Cleaning" which took 5 minutes in room total and waited 30 minutes in waiting room with at least 10 other people. They literally put something on their teeth and said "don't eat or drink for 30 mins" and was advised no cavities and everything was good. Recommended my youngest go see an orthodontist, which we did within a week of his "cleaning" I was told my son had a cavity forming on his front tooth and he needed a proper cleaning before sending photos to insurance company to cover braces. So sure enough I call and asked what was done at the appointment and I'd like to speak to the dentist,I was told I had to make an appointment to speak to her and than was told she was on medical leave" and had no idea when she'd be back. The girl was so extremely rude whoever works at the front, claimed she was the office manager. Point of review, follow your gut, I thought it was suspicious that a cleaning took less than 5 minutes for a 17 and 9 year old. They submitted insurance as having a cleaning when in fact, they did not. I've spoke with the insurance company and they are well aware of what they did. Be aware, they are doing medical fraud and lying on medical records. Had I not noticed and been told about the cavity I would have never known. The place is garbage! And believe me, they were reported. Be careful and advocate for yourself or your kids. Everything about them is sheisty. I can't imagine how they take advantage of people and get money from insurance companies without actually doing anything. Fraud! Place is absolute trash at best. Stay away and get a second opinion, because they probably never actually did work they claimed on your children.

One of the worst dentists I have ever been in my entire life ! I took my daughter there for cleaning and let's just say that was anything but cleaning . She was done in less than 2 minutes, that dentist put something on her teeth like a tooth paste or something , then used something like a toothbrush and went over her teeth with it similar to horrible teeth brushing at home I guess you can compare it to and was done ! Now, unfortunately we have to wait another 6 months before another cleaning can be done due to her insurance and let's just say she did not get any teeth cleaning done at all ! Office is smelly , old , and dusty ! Never again would I go there or send anyone I know over there . Stay away !

Please read the reviews and be aware of this place as it's a big NO to me and few of the people I know. Very unprofessional staff especially at the front desk. Don't try to get your own test results to get a second opinion because this office will do anything to make it impossible. What a waste of time it was as the dentist didn't even care to look in my mouth. Stay away!

Since around June 2020, very unhappy that they are unwilling to do any root canals b/c Liberty Dental Insurance won't pre-approve crown until they submit xrays of properly filled roots canals for me. It is a two-part approval process. So Unique won't even do my 2 root canals and I'm having pain again in one of the 2 teeth. Unique & Liberty have a contract. Unique will not comply, yet Liberty will not enforce policy. They didn't even call me back over a week ago when I left a message about the pain i'm having. The Manager hung up on me, said she had other calls. I tried to have her tell the owner to call me, but she said the owner is too busy. Now 10/4/2020 i will call Unique to request extract tooth. it is tooth #15. Seems they have no capability to extract teeth. The pain was unbearable at times. Since Oct 2020 I developed an absess at the tooth, just recently the absess subsided mostly. As of today 1/10/2022, I am pain free for that tooth, seems the nerve died naturally.

I love Dr.Marcinkiewicz! She's very sweet and she handled all 3 visits I had with her with care. She's down to earth if you ever get to chat with her. I believe you're in good hands here.

Worst place i have ever been, avoid this place at all costs, the people working there fighting all the time and my dentist left me so many times in between my root canal to get them not to fight, so unethical and unprofessional. Never going to this place ever again, extremely inappropriate staff

This dentist is very intellectual and diligent, and the staff is so warm and pleasant. I had many cavities and needed a root canal; she solved all of my problems. She scheduled me right in one after another. I didn't need to switch dentists for my root canal, and it did not hurt one bit. My teeth and gums have never been happier! Also, Unique Family Dentistry speaks Polish. So, my Mom started going there. She was very picky about dentists. She switched all the time. Another one of my problems got solved, and my Mother found a dentist. Whether your dental problems are big or small, I recommend Unique Family Dentistry.

Excellent service. Dr Ewa M is great. Very good Dr. I had really bad experience with dentists in the past, so I'm usually very nervous but she takes her time and is very patience with me. Front Desk receptionist is very nice.
