Do you offer Botox as part of your cosmetic dentistry services?
Yes! Botox is an extremely popular, non-surgical way to eliminate fine lines around the eyes. Dr. Doktorman offers this premium service to complement our full-service cosmetic dentistry offerings. Call our Clifton dental office to learn more or to schedule your complimentary cosmetic consultation with Dr. Doktorman.

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
Bleeding is usually a sign of a problem. When gums bleed, the cause usually stems from brushing too hard or from early-stage gum (periodontal) disease. We can give you tips for effective daily oral care, which will deter your potential for gum disease. If your gums show signs of periodontal disease, we may recommend a deep cleaning to alleviate symptoms and halt the progression of the disease. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults and has been linked to many overall health conditions, including stroke, heart attack, and respiratory problems. Untreated, gum disease can significantly damage your health, so call for an assessment now. We’ll help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life!

My smile is missing teeth. What do you suggest I do?
You'll need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Doktorman. He’ll assess your oral health and discuss options for replacement teeth. In general, you can choose from crown and bridgework, partial or full dentures, or dental implants. As the prosthetic most similar to natural tooth structure, a dental implant is a long-lasting, comfortable, natural-looking choice.

How does Dr. Doktorman keep up to date on current techniques, technology, and materials in dentistry?
Our dentist and team take more than the state's requirement for continuing education each year. We also read trade journals, attend professional association meetings, and do everything we can to stay current with the latest developments in general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative dentistry, as well as dental technology. We're passionate about our careers, so we enjoy soaking up new information on our profession, then sharing it with our patients!

My teeth are stained. Can you help?
Yes. We offer whitening solutions to brighten teeth dramatically at home or in our office. Call for an appointment today!

What can you do to improve the appearance of my smile?
We'll start by evaluating your oral health and discussing your idea of a spectacular smile. Dr. Doktorman may suggest porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, replacement teeth, and replacing metal dental work with esthetic restorations (fillings). Call to schedule a complimentary cosmetic consultation, and together, we'll determine the best plan for your ideal smile.

I have old, dark fillings. Is there any hope for my smile?
Dark fillings and metal crowns can be replaced with strong, esthetic solutions. Dr. Doktorman places tooth-colored fillings and crowns to restore optimal oral health and comfort without compromising the beauty of an all-white smile.
