For the best dental care in Allenhurst, call the offices of Marc Berley, DMD. Our office in Ocean, New Jersey has been providing dental care for the area for over 28 years, in a comfortable and friendly environment. We practice cosmetic and family dentistry as well as implant dentistry.

We use only the most stringent measures to control cleanliness and to prevent infection with our dental technologies. Using laser dentistry and digital x-rays, we can now offer patients the peace of mind with more accurate testing and results. Some of our services include comprehensive dental exams, a wide range of preventive dental therapy, porcelain restorations, dental implants, and teeth whitening. We also perform treatment for gum disease and periodontal issues as well as veneers and cosmetic whitening procedures. During your first trip to our office for dental care in Allenhurst, we’ll check for oral cancer and do a periodontal exam to ensure the gums are healthy. Our preventive program includes a way to help patients prevent new cavities and to preserve any teeth that have been restored, as well as manage any gum disease that may be present.
Our periodontal treatments depend on how far along the disease has progressed. When the pocket in between the tooth and the gums becomes inflamed, it fills with bacteria, tartar and plaque. This irritates the surrounding teeth and gums and can harm the bone surrounding it as well. Gum disease, also known as gingivitis, can be managed if caught early on. Regular cleanings, brushing and annual cleanings at our office dental care in Allenhurst also help prevent the gum disease from becoming more serious. We recommend using proper brushing and flossing techniques. Toothbrushes should be replaced every three to four months for best results. Microbes and bacteria can grow on the brushes, causing virus and infection. For flossing, we recommend being gentle so as not to disrupt the delicate gum in between teeth and to prevent bleeding. Using these steps should help prevent future gum disease.
