Dr. Peter P Cilento, DMD

Dental Examination
If you come in for an implant consultation with Dr. Cilento, he will do an oral exam of your jaw and study x-rays of your mouth to make sure you have enough bone for him to place an implant. If there is significant atrophy of your jaw that would require a bone graft or a sinus lift, or if the site for the implant is in close proximity to a nerve, Dr. Cilento will refer you to an oral surgeon or a periodontist.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
All patients at Lehigh Prosthodontics receive a free oral cancer screening at each visit. Whether it is a routine exam during a cleaning visit or during a procedure our patients are continuously screened for oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
Dr. Cilento believes that a thorough dental exam with intra-oral photography and dental cleanings are the cornerstone of maintaining your oral health. Dr. Cilento believes in order to avoid expensive treatments it is best to take a proactive approach and catch dental problems when they are very small, and in most cases, easy to treat – and the best way to be proactive is with regular dental exams right here in the Lehigh Valley, at Lehigh Prosthodontics.
Fluoride Treatment
Dr. Cilento offers fluoride treatments for his patients that have a high degree of getting cavities. They maybe patients who have a dry mouth from oral cancers, radiation therapy

Fillings
Resin Composite
Dr. Cilento uses a light cured composite resin and all porcelain materials instead of a darker amalgam metal to restore teeth. Composite
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth which will modify their shape and color. It is the restoration of choice for those individuals who are looking to make slight position alterations, or to change tooth shape, size, and/or color. The teeth still need a slight amount of tooth preparation, usually less than a millimeter. This makes space for the veneer without creating a bulky looking tooth.
Crowns
At Lehigh Prosthodontics we offer a full range of dental services, treat the whole family from kids to grandparents. Dr. Cilento is specially trained to handle the most complex dental cases. He specializes in full mouth reconstructions using crowns, bridges, and implants to rehabilitate even the most challenging dentition. In addition, Dr. Cilento has experience in oral prosthetics to correct cleft palates and oral deformities following cancer surgery or traumatic injury. Here's a quick list of our services. For full details, scroll down.
Bridges
Fixed prosthetics stay permanently in the mouth and include porcelain veneers, onlays, crowns and bridges, implants, and implant retained dentures (dentures that screw onto implants and are therefore very stable and secure but must be removed by the dentist). Removable prosthetics include full dentures and partial dentures, and dentures that snap onto implants for extra stability, all of which are removed daily by the patient.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
A crown or a “cap” is fabricated for a tooth for many reasons. If the tooth has fractured or has decay beyond the capacity of a filling, has had a root canal, or needs to be aesthetically enhanced. Crowns are made from a variety of materials, porcelain fused to metal, zirconia ( a white metal) or all ceramic. Typically the tooth is specifically prepared to make space for the needed materials. Impressions are taken and the crown is fabricated at a dental laborartory. The crowns are permanently cemented to the remaining tooth structure.

Dentures
Complete dentures are fabricated for patients who have no remaining teeth. They can be made for either the upper or lower jaw. Dr. Cilento only makes custom dentures. The process takes several visits and the patient gets to see the final denture before it is processed to approve of the aesthetics. Dr. Cilento is very experienced at making immediate dentures also. These are made prior to the removal of a patient’s teeth and they are delivered to the patient the same day of their extractions.

Dental Implants
Dr. Cilento is a South Jersey native who became acquainted with the Lehigh Valley while attending Muhlenberg College. After college, he attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated magna cum laude with his DMD degree in 1991. Dr. Cilento then attended Temple University’s three year prosthodontics program, graduating with honors. In 2006, he received surgical training for implant placement at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Dr. Cilento is a member of the American College of Prosthodontists and is a past president of the Pennsylvania chapter of that organization.

Teeth Whitening
Most natural teeth can be whitened to a degree and there are a number of ways to lighten teeth. Tooth whitening is sometimes referred to as bleaching, even though the gel used does not contain any bleach. Most professional kits are a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide and are significantly stronger than over-the-counter products. Dr. Cilento takes impressions of your teeth and fabricates custom trays for your teeth. You then take home your kit and apply the material to your teeth over several applications to whiten them. Some temporary tooth sensitivity can occur and it is recommended that you avoid staining foods and beverages to maintain the results. Touch-ups and re-bleaching are easy and safe.
Cosmetic Dentistry
All of these specialties require years of training beyond the basic four years of dental school that general dentistry requires. Many patients may not be aware that “cosmetic dentistry” is not a specialty. General dentists may attend weekend long, or sometimes weeks long, continuing education courses to learn more about cosmetic dentistry or prosthodontic work, but a prosthodontist spends THREE YEARS in graduate school to become an oral prosthetic specialist.
General Dentistry
Lehigh Prosthodontics is the Lehigh Valley based dental practice of Dr. Peter Cilento, DMD. We provide advanced prosthetic dentistry, implant dentistry and general dentistry
