Dental Services in Trenton & Hamilton, NJ
Most people don’t look forward to going to the dentist. We know that. Dr. Farah Shariff has been building a practice in Trenton for nearly 30 years around one idea: dental care that’s comfortable enough that you’ll actually keep coming back. Whether it’s a routine cleaning, a cracked tooth, or something you’ve been putting off for years — we’re here, evenings and weekends included.
Our Services
Comprehensive Dental Care for the Whole Family
We offer Preventive, Restorative & Cosmetic dental services under one roof in Greenwood Family Dentistry Trenton, NJ— from a simple cleaning to a full mouth restoration. You don’t need a different dentist for different things. Dr. Shariff handles it all, and if a situation ever calls for a specialist, she’ll tell you honestly. Browse the services below, or just call us and describe what’s going on — we’ll figure out the right next step together.
Fillings
Cavities are more common than people like to admit. When one shows up, we use tooth-colored composite resin that blends naturally with the rest of your tooth. No silver, no obvious patch. Most fillings are done in one visit, often in under an hour.
Root Canal
Root canals have a reputation they don't deserve anymore. With modern anesthesia, most patients compare it to getting a regular filling — and it saves a tooth that would otherwise need to come out. If you're dealing with persistent tooth pain, then root canal usually isn't as bad as the waiting.
Crowns
A tooth that's cracked, badly decayed, or just had a root canal needs more than a filling to protect it long-term. A crown fits over the whole tooth like a cap — custom-shaped, natural-looking, and built to handle normal chewing. Bridges and implant crowns work the same idea for teeth that are already gone.
Deep Cleaning
Bleeding gums when you brush aren't normal — they're usually a sign that bacteria have built up somewhere your toothbrush can't reach. A deep cleaning gets below the gumline where regular cleanings stop. It's not dramatic. It's just the right tool for what's actually going on.
Dentures & Partials
Missing teeth change more than how your smile looks — they change how you eat, speak, and feel day to day. Dentures and partials are how we bring that back. They've come a long way from what your grandparents wore. We'll make sure yours fit right, feel right, and actually work for how you live.
Extractions
We don't recommend taking a tooth out unless it genuinely can't be saved. But when an extraction is the right call with severe decay, infection, overcrowding, we do it as gently and comfortably as possible. We'll always talk to you about what to do with the gap afterward.
Teeth Whitening
Years of coffee, tea, and normal life leave a mark on your teeth. Professional whitening works faster and more evenly than anything you'll find at a pharmacy — and it's done under supervision so it doesn't leave your teeth sensitive for a week. One appointment, noticeably different results.
Sealants
Most cavities in kids don't start in obvious places — they start in the tiny grooves on the back teeth that a toothbrush can't fully reach. Sealants seal those grooves shut. The whole thing takes a few minutes, there's no drilling, and it prevents a problem that's far more annoying and expensive to fix later.
Bonding
That chip from biting into something the wrong way three years ago. The small gap you've been self-conscious about since high school. Dental bonding handles things like these in a single visit — no drilling, no lab, no weeks of waiting. Just composite resin shaped and polished to blend right in.
Night guards for Jaw/TMJ
Waking up with a sore jaw or morning headaches is often teeth grinding at night — and most people have no idea they're doing it. A custom-fitted night guard absorbs that force so your teeth don't have to. Quick to make, easy to wear, and significantly cheaper than the crowns and fillings that grinding eventually creates.
Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease doesn't usually hurt until it's already done real damage. Scaling and root planing is how we treat it before it gets to that point — clearing buildup below the gum line and smoothing the root surface so gum tissue can actually reattach and heal. Catching it early makes all the difference.
Veneers
Chips, gaps, stubborn stains that whitening can't touch, a tooth that's always looked a little off — veneers fix all of that in one coordinated step instead of patching each thing separately. Thin custom shells, bonded to the front of your teeth. Done well, no one can tell they're there.
