General and Family Dentistry

The cornerstone of every healthy smile is consistent and quality regular dental care and good home oral health habits. At Shoreland Dental, we provide essential preventive and restorative dentistry to help your family maintain healthy smiles for a lifetime.

Dr. Dave and our team treat patients individually, with their unique oral health care needs in mind, because your oral health and that of your family can change over time. We always recommend the care that we would want for our own families!

Preventive Dentistry

Maintaining routine dental appointments that include regular dental exams, professional dental cleanings, and diagnostic digital x-rays is essential! It is easy to put off regular dental exams, especially if everything feels good and you are not experiencing any problems. One of the best ways to keep oral health conditions away is visiting our Hazlet, New Jersey, dental office on a regular schedule as prescribed by Dr. Dave.

For many patients, that includes twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings and regular dental x-rays. For some patients, like those who have a history of gum disease, we may recommend more frequent visits to keep your teeth and gums in ideal condition.

We also offer preventive treatment such as fluoride and dental sealants. While it is common for children to receive these preventive treatments, some adults may benefit as well.

Fluoride strengthens your tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. Dental sealants are a barrier between the deep grooves of your teeth and the bacteria that cause decay. We recommend these treatments on a case-by-case basis and will discuss it with you if we think you or your kids might benefit from fluoride and sealants.

Quality Restorative Dentistry

Most people will need at least one dental restoration during their lifetimes, and at Shoreland Dental, Dr. David Azenheimer creates esthetic, long lasting, and durable dental restorations.

We proudly offer tooth-colored fillings and make sure they match your natural tooth color perfectly. Even common dental restorations can be beautiful!

We custom design each dental crown to fit well and provide exceptional protection for cracked, broken, deeply decayed, and structurally compromised teeth. By protecting a damaged tooth with a dental crown, you can prolong the life of your tooth for years – even decades!

Our smile-enhancing cosmetic dentistry looks natural and helps our patients smile confidently!

Children’s Dentistry

We welcome patients of all ages to Shoreland Dental, including your toddlers, children, and teens. Dr. Dave is experienced with treating kids and will help them develop a strong foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.

We explain treatment to your child in terms they understand and make sure we provide gentle, yet effective, treatment. Kids enjoy their time in our office and look forward to the interactive and educational experience we provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I have a toothache?

Any time your body expresses pain, it is a signal that something is not right and needs your attention. Your teeth are no different!

Tooth pain indicates that something is unhealthy and should be examined by a dentist. At Shoreland Dental, we invite new and existing patients to call us in the event of a painful dental emergency. By contacting us at the first sign of symptoms, we can provide you with faster treatment. In the case of dental emergencies, time is important! It can be the difference between saving and losing your tooth.

When you contact our office with a dental emergency, our knowledgeable team will ask you a few questions about your emergency so we can plan for your arrival. When you come in for your appointment, we will take an x-ray of the painful area to assist Dr. Azenheimer with an accurate diagnosis.

We do our best to treat dental emergencies on the same day. Our main goal will be to protect your tooth and eliminate pain. In some cases, we may schedule additional appointments in order to properly complete your treatment.

If you are not yet a patient in our office, we welcome you! You will receive the same great dental care our patients have come to expect from Shoreland Dental.

Do you treat kids?

At Shoreland Dental, we welcome your entire family to join our dental office. We are especially fond of treating families and developing long-term relationships with the members of our community. We take your health seriously and treat our patients with the same care and attention we would want for our own families.

We welcome you to bring your children to our office. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should have their first dental visit by their first birthday. This early childhood dental appointment gives us a chance to develop a good foundation with your child, discuss your child’s home care and habits, and discuss what to expect as your child grows.

At this first appointment, we will do an exam and take your little one for a ride in the chair. We make their dental appointments fun and easygoing so they do not feel apprehensive about their dental visits. By making their experience interactive and fun, we involve them in their own oral health as they age so they have the tools, knowledge, and ability to maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime.

As your little one grows, we will include diagnostic and preventive treatments to keep their precious smiles happy and healthy.
