Eastern Periodontic Associates, LLC

Eastern Periodontic Associates, LLC is a specialized dental clinic that focuses on Periodontics, which is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. As part of the broader Eastern Dental family of practices, the clinic benefits from a network of skilled professionals and a commitment to comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages. The clinic's primary services include the full spectrum of periodontal treatments, from non-surgical options like scaling and root planing to more advanced surgical procedures. They are experts in treating periodontitis, a serious gum infection that can lead to tooth loss if not addressed. In cases of advanced disease, they perform procedures such as flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery), soft tissue grafts to cover exposed tooth roots, and bone grafting to rebuild bone destroyed by the infection. A key specialty of Eastern Periodontic Associates is the surgical placement of dental implants. Implants are a popular and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. The periodontists at the clinic have extensive training in this area, ensuring the proper placement of the implant in both hard and soft tissues for a successful and natural-looking result. To ensure patient comfort and manage dental anxiety, the clinic may offer sedation dentistry options. This can range from minimal sedation (such as nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas") to more moderate forms of sedation that help patients relax during procedures. This is particularly beneficial for those undergoing lengthy treatments or for patients who have a low pain threshold or a strong gag reflex. The clinic's focus on a personalized and compassionate approach ensures that each patient's individual needs and concerns are addressed. The clinic is conveniently located in Manahawkin, NJ, and is part of a larger network of Eastern Dental offices across New Jersey. The practice is dedicated to providing high-quality care, utilizing modern technology, and creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for their patients.
