Implant Dentist in Randolph Discusses Periodontal Disease
October 9, 2018
Dental implants are minimally invasive when it comes to oral surgery, but there are some requirements that need to be met before they can be placed. For example, there needs to be sufficient bone volume so the implants can heal, but the surrounding gum tissue must also be in healthy condition. If a person has gum disease, it can easily jeopardize their ability to receive implants, according to an implant dentist in Randolph.

August 12, 2018
If you’re looking for the right dentist to help you replace missing teeth with dental implants, cost is one thing that may be on your mind.

1 – Dental Implants are Worth the Investment
When you’re getting started with your search for an implant dentist, you may wonder whether or not implant supported tooth replacement is worth the investment.

The Connection Between TMJ and Sleep Apnea in Randolph
February 10, 2017
At Randolph Dental Care, we provide a wide range of services for our patients, including areas of specialty, like treatment for sleep apnea in Randolph. Sleep apnea is categorized as a sleep disorder, which affects more than 25 million adults in the United States. The disorder causes numerous pauses in breathing frequently while sleeping. While there are various factors that increase your risk for the disorder, such as obesity and age, there is also another connection. There is evidence that TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders) and sleep apnea often go hand-in-hand. In the past, the two were often viewed separately. However, there is evidence that both conditions may be caused by the same underlying factor.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Options
January 31, 2014
Others know how you feel about your smile based on how readily you share it. Do you smile openly and as often as you can, or do you hide your teeth when you talk and laugh?
If you’re hampered by poor feelings of self-confidence, make 2014 the year you change that with a cosmetic dentistry makeover at Randolph Dental Care. Dr. Glen Goldstein offers porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, teeth whitening, and wrinkle therapies like Botox and Juvéderm to help you improve your sense of wellbeing and confidence. With these services, we can transform teeth that are stained, cracked, chipped, and misaligned, and we can ease the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, brow, nose, and mouth.
A Comprehensive Range of Choices
Porcelain veneers are designed to hide common flaws that keep patients from smiling with confidence. They’re made of durable pieces of dental porcelain and are attached directly to the front of teeth. A dramatic smile transformation can be completed in just two visits.
Cosmetic bonding is a similar service that can be used for smaller fixes. Instead of using porcelain, though, this easy and affordable service uses a small amount of composite resin—the same material used for tooth-colored fillings—and only takes one appointment t ocomplete.
For patients who struggle primarily with staining, Dr. Goldstein offers two great teeth whitening options. Zoom! Whitening is among the most common whitening systems offered by cosmetic dentists, while Deep Bleaching™ can tackle some of the most difficult cases of staining out there.
And finally, for patients who feel self-conscious because of wrinkles, Dr. Goldstein has two effective solutions. With Botox and Juvéderm, patients can ease the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, brow, nose, and mouth in just one quick appointment.

He will talk to you about your options and help you get set up with a great treatment plan. We serve patients from Randolph, Morristown, Denville, Rockaway, Chester, Mendham, and beyond.

Do You Know What to Do If You Experience a Dental Emergency During the Holidays?
December 18, 2013
Emergencies happen when you least expect them, and that includes during Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Food is often involved, but not always. A fall on an icy sidewalk can just as easily create a dental emergency. So what should you do if you have an urgent dental need over the next few weeks?
Your first step is to call Randolph Dental Care. Even if your emergency doesn’t require immediate attention, we want to know if our patients are in need of help. Three of the most common emergencies that one can experience over the holidays are:
- Knocked-out tooth
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Toothache
If you’ve just lost a tooth, get in touch with our Randolph dental office right away. Reattachment for a lost tooth is possible if we can see you quickly enough. While you wait to see us, rinse the tooth gently with water but don’t scrub it. Try to hold the tooth in the socket it came from, or, if that’s not possible, store it in a container of milk or under your tongue.
In cases where a tooth has broken, your first step after letting us know is to rinse your mouth with warm water. Applying a cold compress will help with any swelling or pain. To repair your tooth, Dr. Goldstein may create a crown with his office’s CEREC machine.
Lastly, for a toothache, try rinsing your mouth or flossing before you call us. It may be that you only have something stuck between your teeth. If your discomfort persists, give us a call.
Don’t let an emergency ruin your holiday. Contact us if you have any problems. And from all of us at Randolph Dental Care, we hope these two weeks are happy and safe for everyone.
Heart Disease, Gum Disease and CoQ10
November 30, 2013
Heart disease is a major health problem. But as with so many other major health issues, some degree of prevention is possible, whether through regular medical exams, a healthy diet and exercise, or through nutritional supplements.
Today we’d like to take a moment to look at one such supplement—CoQ10. This enzyme is found naturally in the body, in some foods, and can be safely made in a laboratory and used to treat certain medical problems
One of those ways it can be used is in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. In research, it was found that patients with a cardiovascular disease often have a CoQ10 deficiency. By adding CoQ10 to your diet with a supplement, it may help you prevent or reverse a range of different problems, some related to heart health and some not. Those problems may include:
- Congestive heart failure
- High blood pressure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Angina
- Diabetes
- Immune deficiency
Another condition that CoQ10 may help with is periodontal disease, which is also known as gum disease. In some studies, it has been found that CoQ10 may help patients treat this common oral health problem when it’s taken my mouth or applied directly to the patient’s gum tissue. Advanced gum disease has also been linked to heart disease in some studies.
Do you have questions about CoQ10 and its benefits? Do you struggle with the symptoms of gum disease? Call Randolph Dental Care to schedule an appointment with Dr. Goldstein. Our office serves patients from Randolph, Rockaway, Mendham, Chester, Morristown, Denville, Morris County, and beyond.
