Dental Examination
Comprehensive Dental Exam Our comprehensive dental exam includes an overall evaluation of your teeth, gums, bones and other soft tissues.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screening As part of the comprehensive examination described above, the soft tissues of your oral cavity will be thoroughly examined for oral cancer. Oral cancers are rare with about 40,000 cases per year in the U.S. However, it is important to note that certain behaviors greatly increase your risk to develop the disease such as smoking, chewing tobacco, drinking alcohol excessively and sunbathing. Sexually transmitted diseases such as human papilloma virus can also lead to oral cancer. Therefore, if you engage in any of the above activities you are at an increased risk for developing oral cancer. If you develop a sore in your mouth which is persistent, is firm to the touch with irregular borders, painful and will not heal, it is important you have the lesion examined. If neccessary a biopsy will be performed and sent to a laboratory for pathological examination. If Dr. Zegarelli sees a lesion he feels is suspicious, he will schedule an appointment for a biopsy. It is important to note and remember that the vast majority of lesions found in the mouth are benign. Sometimes these benign lesions may also need to be biopsied to rule other dermatologic diseases of the mouth.

Teeth Cleaning
Dental Sealants
Sealants Sealants are generally placed on your adult molar teeth starting at about age six. When the first set of permanent molars develop, sealing these chewing surfaces will help keep them healthy and protect them from tooth decay. As other adult molars and pre-molars erupt, these too should be sealed. These "back teeth" usually have a rough surface with many grooves and pits in them. It is these grooves and pits which collect food leading to decay and cavities, even in a patient with excellent brushing habits. The sealant fills these grooves and pits so that food slides off the surface of the tooth lessening the chances for decay. The sooner these chewing surfaces can be sealed, the better it is for their long term protection. Adults with high decay rates may also benefit from this treatment. Consult with your dentist to determine whether tooth sealants are right for you.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Tooth-Colored Fillings Tooth-colored fillings are similar in color and texture to natural teeth. They are less noticeable and much more attractive than other types of fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are made from durable plastics called composite resins. You can smile, talk, and eat with confidence. Also, tooth-colored fillings are compatible with dental sealants. This allows a tooth to be filled and sealed at the same time to prevent further decay. These fillings do however have in some patients a higher degree of post-operative sensitivity issues.
Veneers
Dental veneers are custom designed ceramic-like material that is applied over the surface of a tooth. Veneers are used to cover worn tooth enamel, straighten uneven teeth alignment or spacing as well as repair chips or cracks. Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. The translucent ceramic of the veneers provide a more natural look.
Crowns
Spectra C02 Laser Dr. Zegarelli is a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry and certified in the use of dental lasers. Dr. Zegarelli uses a CO2 laser for soft tissue procedures such as impressioning for crowns, virtually bloodless biopsies, treatments for canker sores and cold sores, treating gum disease and many other minor surgical procedures all done bloodlessly. Many other procedures are done with the laser such as treating root sensitivity and the removal of pigmented lesions from the mouth. The patient will experience virtually no bleeding, rarely the need to place sutures (stitches), less post-operative pain and quicker healing.
Bridges
Dental bridges are multiple crowns that are connected together usually to replace missing teeth. Most typically, a bridge would be placed when one is missing a single tooth and there is minimally one tooth to either side of the missing tooth. In this case, connected crowns are placed on the teeth to either side of the space with a fake tooth in the middle.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy can sometimes take up to 3 visits. If there is pain, take your normal analgesics such as aspirin, Advil (ibuprofen) or Tylenol. If there is a great deal of pain, a stronger prescription medication may need to be provided to your pharmacy. If you begin to swell, call the office immediately for treatment and possible antibiotic therapy. Refrain from chewing on the root canal tooth as it is in a weakened state and subject to fracture and also hyper-sensitive from treatment.

Deep Cleaning
Periodontal Therapy Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes swelling and redness of the gums. It attacks the bone, gums and other supporting structures of the teeth. Dental plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease. When plaque is not removed, it can turn into dental calculus (tartar), which may further aggravate the periodontal disease process. You can prevent dental plaque by practicing good oral hygiene. This means brushing and flossing daily and visiting the dentist for regular checkups and dental cleanings. Periodontal therapy is used to treat the early stages of periodontal disease. This technique utilizes scaling and root planning, topical solutions, bite correction and laser therapy. It is important to remember that recent studies have suggested a link between periodontal disease and heart disease, diabetes, stroke and premature births among other maladies. So a healthy mouth can lead to a healthier body. If you have a more severe form of the disease, a referral to a periodontal specialist may be advised.

Dentures
Full and Partial Dentures Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be inserted and removed from your mouth by you. They are removable and not cemented onto your teeth. Dentures are custom made in a dental laboratory from impressions taken of your mouth by your dentist with several fitting appointments. There are two types of dentures; full dentures and partial dentures.

Dental Implants
Dr. Zegarelli is one of a few General Dentists to have a digital panorex, let alone the Sirona brand. For this radiographic image, the patient stands up and the machine rotates around the patients head. No sensors are placed in the mouth. The image produced is one of the entire upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) jaws, the maxillary sinuses and other head and neck structures. The Sirona image is acknowledged to be of the best in the industry. The panoramic images are especially useful for children and monitoring their development, teens and young adults for their wisdom teeth, candidates for implants, people who have difficulty taking conventional intra-oral x-rays and for other oral conditions. As with all digital images, these too can be sent to other dental specialists such as Oral Surgeons.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Oral Surgery A tooth extraction is a routine procedure used to treat diseased teeth. Teeth may need to be removed because of extensive decay rendering the tooth not restorable or because of gum disease with extensive bone loss or for other reasons. Every effort will be made to save a tooth but sometimes the removal of a tooth is the treatment of choice. Other oral surgery procedures are biopsies and other soft tissue procedures. See Post-Op Instructions for what to do after a surgical procedure.
Tooth Extractions
When you arrive home from the dentist after a tooth extraction, it is very important to make sure the bleeding has stopped and the area remains free from infection. To stop the bleeding you will be asked to bite on a gauze pad for about a half hour or until the bleeding stops.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign® is a gentle push system for straightening teeth. The proper alignment of your teeth create not only a nicer look but also a healthier environment for your teeth and gums. Proper spacing of your teeth is good for the bone between your teeth and allows you to better clean your teeth. Visit www.Invisalign.com for more inormation.
Braces
Invisalign® Invisalign® is a new orthodontic treatment system that works to straighten teeth through the use of a series of clear plastic molds also known as aligners. These invisible braces eliminate the metallic smile that is characteristic of traditional orthodontic braces. Dr Zegarelli has earned the status of Invisalign Preferred Provider (for more on preferred providers, click here ).

Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening is used to help lighten teeth, remove stains and also discoloration. Whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures today. It can significantly improve how your teeth look. Whitening is not a one-time solution. It is a repeated process that you will have to do from time to time if you want to maintain a brighter and whiter smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry/Veneers Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, mouth and smile. Cosmetic dentistry provides elective treatments and services such as composite bonding, teeth whitening, dental veneers and several other appearance enhancing options.
General Dentistry
What does Dr. Zegarelli think about Oil Pulling? With over 30 years of experience practicing general dentistry, Dr. Zegarelli brings a wealth of knowledge to his practice every day. It is this knowledge and experience which serves as a foundation for properly diagnosing and treating patients. The foundation for any health practitioner is diagnosis. It is the ability to determine not only what is wrong or what is the disease but also how to treat the problem successfully. Dr Zegarelli has earned a good reputation by committing himself to the timeless virtues of honesty and integrity and always striving for excellence.
