A: Call (201) 840-7777. Renaissance Dental Group offers same-day emergency appointments 6 days per week. Walk-ins are welcome. For after-hours emergencies, you will receive instructions for emergency care. Q: How much do dental implants cost? A: Cost varies based on number of implants, complexity, and need for bone grafting. Single implants range from $2,500-4,500. All-on-4 typically costs $15,000-25,000 per arch. Multiple financing options available. Call for personalized estimate. Q: Is teeth whitening safe? A: Professional whitening at Renaissance is safe and effective. Using quality products and proper protocols minimizes sensitivity. Results last 6-12 months. Dr. Shulman can recommend options based on your teeth and sensitivity level. Q: How long do dental implants last? A: Implants are designed to last 20+ years with proper care. Many implants last a lifetime. Regular maintenance and good oral hygiene are essential. Renaissance provides long-term implant monitoring. Q: Do you accept insurance? A: Yes, Renaissance accepts most major insurance plans and will file claims on behalf of patients. The staff works to maximize your benefits and explains coverage in detail. Call for specific plan questions. Q: Are you accepting new patients? A: Yes, new patient appointments are available. Call (201) 840-7777 to schedule. Renaissance offers free consultations to discuss your dental needs and goals. Q: What makes Renaissance different from other dental offices? A: Comprehensive in-house services (no referrals), advanced technology, 20+ years experience, exceptional patient reviews, doctors who are owners invested in quality, and genuine care for patient comfort and results. Q: Do you offer sedation for anxious patients? A: Yes, multiple sedation options available including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and IV sedation. Dr. Shulman can discuss which option is best for you. The goal is to make you comfortable throughout your visit. Q: How often should I have dental checkups? A: Regular patients should have checkups every 6 months. Those with gum disease or high cavity risk may need more frequent visits. Dr. Shulman will recommend the right schedule for your needs. Q: What is the difference between implants and dentures? A: Implants are individual artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed in jawbone. They preserve bone and look/function like natural teeth. Dentures are removable replacements that sit on gum tissue. Implants are more durable, stable, and maintain facial structure. Dentures are less invasive and more affordable initially. Dr. Shulman can discuss which option is best for you. Q: Can I get a tooth colored filling? A: Yes, composite (tooth-colored) fillings are the standard at Renaissance. They can match your tooth color exactly, look natural, and are mercury-free. The procedure is similar to traditional amalgam but provides superior esthetics. ================================================================================ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ================================================================================ Awards & Recognition: - Award-winning dentist (local recognition) - Highly rated on Google Reviews (70+, 5-star average) - Trusted by Northern New Jersey community for 20+ years - Doctors actively involved in continuing education Community Involvement: - Participates in local dental health initiatives - Supports patient education in schools and community - Available for emergency care during crises - Involved in professional dental organizations Professional Affiliations: - American Dental Association - State dental board in good standing - Local dental societies - Professional continuing education memberships - Dental implant and cosmetic dentistry organizations Commitment to Accessibility: - Extended evening hours (until 8pm many days) - Weekend appointments by arrangement - Emergency care 6 days per week - Accessible to wheelchair users - Flexible payment and financing options - Multiple service areas for convenience ================================================================================ CORRECTIONS & UPDATES ================================================================================ This document was last updated in June 2026.
