Helping You Get the Answers You Need

From dental emergencies and implants to your first appointment, find answers to common questions about care at Magid Dental Care in West Caldwell.

Call (862) 210-3510 as soon as you can. Dr. David Magid, DMD, offers same-day emergency appointments for toothaches, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth, and lost crowns, including for new patients. For swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

Yes, for most people, because professional whitening uses a stronger, dentist-supervised gel in custom trays or an in-office treatment, so results are more even and faster. Store-bought strips can lighten mild staining but often miss the spaces between teeth. We offer in-office and take-home whitening.

You can leave with teeth the same day with All-on-4. Dr. Magid places four implants and attaches a long-term temporary set of teeth that day, with the final set following after about four months of healing. Snap-in implant dentures usually take longer. The implant consultation is complimentary.

Bleeding when you brush or floss is the earliest sign. Others are red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. It often has no early pain, so a checkup usually finds it. We treat early gum disease with deep cleanings and our soft tissue laser.

Yes, once a sleep study has diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. From your sleep physician’s letter, Dr. Magid makes a custom oral appliance worn at night that holds the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open, an alternative to CPAP for mild to moderate sleep apnea.

It starts with a comprehensive exam with Dr. Magid of about 45 to 60 minutes, including the scans and X-rays he needs. Your cleaning is booked as its own visit. Request your appointment online, and we text to confirm. Consultations for implants, veneers, and crowns are complimentary.

We are in-network with Delta Dental. Most other PPO plans are accepted out-of-network, and we submit the claim for you. Send your insurance details with your appointment request, and we will estimate your benefits before any treatment is scheduled.
