Your Local Dentist Office in Toms River, NJ

Encore Dental – A Smilist Dental Company of Toms River, NJ dental office provides all of the routine forms of dental treatments, including exams, cleanings, and x-rays, helping keep your mouth as healthy as possible.

General dentistry also includes restorative treatment of your teeth, from fillings and crowns to bridges and dentures.

Encore Dental has highly-trained dentists that care deeply about your oral health and will do all that they can to ensure that you receive only the highest level of care, including providing patient education about the proper care and maintenance of your teeth and gums. They even provide emergency appointments when the unexpected happens.

If you have felt insecure about your smile, cosmetic dentistry might be a great solution for you. Encore Dental – A Smilist Dental Company of Toms River, NJ dental office provides a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you get the smile that you have always dreamed of. Cosmetic dentistry includes teeth-whitening to help remove any stains that might have built up from coffee or food.

Composite or porcelain veneers are also offered to help alter the shape and color of your teeth. Veneers are thin restorations that are customized to fit your teeth and then placed over the top of them, giving your teeth a complete makeover.

Encore Dental – A Smilist Dental Company of Toms River, NJ now offers IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation) for patients who undergo oral surgery. Medications are administered through the vein before the procedure. When this happens the patient experiences “twilight anesthesia”, as it is a depressed level of consciousness, with the ability to respond to verbal commands.

Most patients will not remember anything about the procedure that was performed under this type of anesthesia. Supplemental oxygen is delivered through the nose, and the patient’s vital signs are closely monitored during and after the procedure. Many patients find IV Sedation helpful during wisdom teeth extraction procedures.

Emergencies happen to all of us and often at the most inconvenient times. If you have a dental emergency, Encore Dental – A Smilist Dental Company of Toms River, NJ dental office is here to help. Whether you have experienced an accident or are suffering from dental pain, emergency appointments are offered to get you back up and running again.

Most often, dental accidents happen due to a sports injury, while eating, or even a fall, but sometimes you might find yourself in pain without an obvious cause. Do not hesitate to call the dental office so you can receive immediate dental care. If your emergency is severe or happens after business hours, you should seek attention from an emergency room.

Through your everyday food and drink choices, your teeth might not be as white as you would like them to be. Common foods and drinks such as tomatoes, coffee, and wine will stain your teeth over time. Thankfully, whitening treatments can help lift those stains and make your teeth look brighter, rejuvenating your smile.

Encore Dental – A Smilist Dental Company of Toms River, NJ dental office offers a couple of solutions to help brighten your teeth, including take-home teeth whitening kits and in-office teeth whitening treatments. Take-home teeth whitening kits are a more gradual solution and are very affordable. In-office teeth whitening treatments offer the best results and work right away.

If you are interested in teeth whitening and want to learn more about your options, please feel free to call or email Encore Dental of Toms River, NJ to help you determine which option is best for you.

Misaligned teeth can affect your bite, oral health, and confidence. Braces help correct spacing, crowding, and alignment issues over time, improving both function and appearance.

At Encore Dental of Toms River, NJ, we offer personalized orthodontic care to straighten your smile comfortably and effectively. Our team will guide you through your options and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
