At Cyril Beard, DDS, we focus on how oral health impacts the rest of your body, including the effects of gum disease and tooth loss on your physical and emotional well-being.
We use minimally invasive methods whenever possible and biocompatible materials that are healthier for your mouth and body. Whether you’re looking for a five-star functional dentist for preventive care or have advanced periodontitis or peri-implantitis, you’ll benefit from state-of-the-art dentistry in Red Bank, NJ, delivered with a compassionate touch!
Periodontal disease affects more than half of American adults and is the leading cause of tooth loss among older adults. Traditional treatment for advanced gum disease is an invasive procedure that involves cutting, suturing, and a lengthy recovery period. Rest assured, Dr. Cyril Beard is committed to offering advanced periodontal solutions that prioritize patient comfort and long-term oral health.
LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) uses focused light energy to treat inflamed soft tissue, resulting in less swelling, minimal bleeding, and faster healing compared to traditional techniques. During your procedure, the PerioLase MVP-7 laser with a fiber the width of three human hairs is used to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue, while keeping healthy tissue intact.
Keeping your natural teeth is always the best option, but tooth loss caused by severe decay, gum disease, an abscess, or trauma is a common problem. As a functional dentist, Dr. Beard will discuss all available choices and help you make an informed decision based on your unique case and personal preferences.
Although dental implants in Red Bank, NJ, are a long-lasting and effective solution to replace missing teeth, they aren’t ideal for everyone. In addition to implants, we offer removable partial dentures, traditional dental bridges, and implant-retained bridges. During your exam and consultation, you’ll learn the essentials about each tooth replacement solution, including the steps involved and costs.
While dental implants have a success rate of up to 98% when placed in suitable candidates by experienced clinicians, implant failure can still occur. Poor oral hygiene, bruxism (teeth grinding), underlying health conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes), smoking, inadequate bone support, infection, and excessive force on implants are the primary causes.
The good news is that you don’t have to undergo invasive surgery if you have peri-implantitis that has threatened the stability of your implants. LAPIP™ (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Protocol) is an advanced, biologically friendly solution for rescuing compromised dental implants without the need for incisions or sutures. The PerioLase laser gently eliminates infection, supports your body’s natural healing response, and encourages healthy bone regeneration for a stable, sustainable result.
Irreversible bone resorption is a consequence of tooth loss, leaving the area without adequate bone volume/density for successful implant treatment. Although the streamlined All-on-X full-arch implant protocol often eliminates the need for bone grafting, bone augmentation is a highly effective procedure that is required in approximately one in every four dental implants.
During your complimentary implant consultation in Red Bank, NJ, digital X-rays and a 3D scan help determine the health of your underlying jawbone. Dr. Beard has extensive skills in diverse types of bone grafting procedures, including sinus lifts, socket preservation, and ridge augmentation. Donor graft tissue takes 3–9 months to fully integrate with your underlying jawbone, depending on the type, size, location, and your health.
If excessive gum tissue shows when you smile, a gummy smile can cause a hit to your self-confidence. A crown lengthening procedure with a laser is a less invasive method for adjusting gum and bone levels to expose more of your tooth crown(s). And while a laser gingivectomy is used to remove infected gum tissue impacted by periodontal disease, it can also be performed to improve the appearance of otherwise healthy, excessive gum tissue that is not affected by periodontal disease.
If you’re unhappy with your front teeth due to gaps, chips, or discoloration, porcelain veneers are a transformative and popular procedure in smile makeovers. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells fabricated from natural-looking and luminous porcelain designed to fit perfectly over the front of your teeth. One of the most appealing aspects of porcelain veneers is that they involve minimal tooth preparation and require just a few visits.
If you have more serious damage to a tooth, a ceramic dental crown is a better option for preserving function and aesthetics. This requires removing any decay and shaving down a portion of the tooth to ensure a seamless fit over the entire tooth structure.
The goal is always to save a tooth with fillings for minor decay, crowns for significant damage, and root canal therapy for infected teeth. In severe cases in which a tooth can’t be saved, Dr. Beard will discuss the reasons, extract the tooth gently, explain replacement options, and prescribe antibiotics if you have an abscess. If you require a root canal procedure in Red Bank, NJ, Dr. Beard is skilled in laser endodontics, a more precise, gentler, and effective way to treat infected tooth pulp (pulpitis).
It’s common for conventional dentures to slip and become loose due to ongoing bone resorption, as well as everyday wear and tear from normal use. Improper care, chewing hard foods, and a dry mouth can also reduce saliva that helps hold dentures in place, along with adhesive.
Dr. Beard believes in presenting patients with multiple choices, allowing them to opt for either a denture relining or stabilizing it with a strategic number of implants, either as a removable overdenture or a fixed prosthesis. And if you’re looking for the most permanent solution, All-on-X full-mouth implants in Red Bank, NJ are the next best thing to a complete set of healthy, natural teeth.
