What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring a list of medications you take, any known allergies or medical conditions, your dental or medical insurance information, and any referral slip or recent X-rays. Visit our Your First Visit page for more details.
Can I fill out my patient forms before my appointment?
Yes. Our Online Forms page lets you complete new patient paperwork digitally or download and print it at home, which saves time at check-in.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements are made in advance. See our Financial Information page for details.
Do you file dental insurance claims for me?
Yes. As a courtesy to patients with dental insurance, we complete and submit claims to your insurance carrier, and we make every effort to estimate your out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Some patients with gum disease or a higher risk of decay may need visits more often.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
Call our office right away at (973) 942-3233. We offer emergency dental care for toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and swelling. If we are closed and you have a severe or life-threatening emergency, go to the nearest emergency room.
Do you see children?
Yes. We provide pediatric dentistry including exams, cleanings, sealants, and fillings for kids. A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18.
What cosmetic dentistry services do you offer?
Our cosmetic dentistry services include porcelain veneers and Lumineers, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners, porcelain crowns, and Botox.
How can I replace missing teeth?
Depending on your needs, options include dental implants, dental bridges, full dentures, and partial dentures. Dr. Mitelberg will help you choose the best fit during a consultation.
Is Invisalign right for adults?
Yes. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults because the clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss normally during treatment.
Are root canals painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed with local anesthesia and feels similar to getting a filling. Most patients find it relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early periodontal disease treatment can help protect your teeth and gums.
Do you use digital X-rays?
Yes. We use digital X-rays, which produce clear images instantly and use less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Do you offer oral cancer screenings?
Yes. An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless exam that helps detect suspicious changes early, when treatment is most effective.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can call us at (973) 942-3233 or use our online appointment request form. Our team will contact you to confirm a time that works for your schedule.
