Both routine and deep dental cleanings play important roles in managing gum disease, but the way they work is very different. Here's what they involve - and when they're used.

FAGD MAGD AWARENESS
Dr. Rifkin & Dr. Martyniak's accomplishments are a BIG DEAL.
Dr. Richard Rifkin (MAGD) and Dr. James Martyniak (FAGD, soon to be MAGD) are part of an elite group of dentists. Only 6% of general dentists have earned their FAGD, and less than 2% have earned their MAGD. Our dentists are committed to providing our patients better care and have dedicated themselves to learning, growing and staying current in their fields so that they can provide the best oral care to all of our patients and their families.
Both routine and deep dental cleanings play important roles in managing gum disease, but the way they work is very different. Here's what they involve - and when they're used.
Root canals have a bad rap as a painful dental procedure when, in fact, they cause no more pain than a typical filling. They can preserve a natural tooth that may be lost without dental treatment, maintaining tooth and jaw health.
Do you have an overbite, underbite, or open bite? These aren’t a problem for Invisalign®. This revolutionary alignment system can fix these and many other smile flaws. What’s more, the aligners are removable and nearly invisible.
