- Dental Examination
- Teeth Cleaning
- CrownsToo much of the teeth, have receded to reveal tooth roots, or have poor contours can affect both your oral health and self-esteem. The good news is that we have multiple surgical options available to treat these issues here at South Shore Long Island Periodontics & Implantology, including crown lengthening and root coverage. One of our board-certified periodontists can discuss each of these with you and determine which option will best meet your needs during a cosmetic periodontics consultation in our Wantagh, NY office.
- BridgesWe offer a variety of dental implant solutions and work closely with you to determine the best option. All of them offer quick and impressive results! For full arch solutions, we insert a small number of biocompatible titanium posts into your jawbone to support each full arch dental bridge. With single implants we insert one post per tooth that we’re replacing. In all cases, we also fit you with provisional crowns during the same appointment, enabling you to quickly get back to eating and speaking comfortably in a very short time. As the insertion sites heal these posts become a permanent part of your body, a process called osseointegration. We’ll place your final restorations during a follow-up visit after the healing has completed.
- Root Canal Treatment
- Deep CleaningGum disease isn’t curable, but it is treatable. After your osseous surgery or scaling and planing procedures, preserve the health of your gums with good brushing and flossing habits at home, as well as regular visits to our Wantagh, NY office for periodontal maintenance. These appointments give us the chance to do deep cleaning and perform any additional scaling and root planing you may need to stop your gum disease from causing you more trouble in the future. Keep all of your periodontal maintenance appointments and follow our guidelines for dental hygiene at home to increase your chances of avoiding further issues with your gums.
- Dental ImplantsCountless benefits. Eat foods you haven’t had in years due to poor dental health. Speak smoothly and naturally with no gaps in your smile. Experience confidence like you’ve never had before. You might think such things would only be possible after extensive surgery and multiple appointments. Same-day dental implants put all of those pleasures within reach, whether you need one implant or full arch dental implants. When you have those dental implants placed by our acclaimed team here at South Shore Long Island Periodontics & Implantology, you get the benefit of three board-certified periodontists with 80 combined years of experience that includes 10,000 placements since the earliest days of the technology!

- Tooth ExtractionsIntense, searing pain in your teeth. It can be all-consuming, preventing you from eating, sleeping, or doing much else except wanting the pain to end. Often, tooth decay is the culprit behind such pain. While we make preserving all of your teeth our top priority, in some cases tooth extractions are the only remedy to severe tooth decay. Not only do they alleviate the pain from the decayed tooth, they help prevent the decay from spreading to your other teeth, causing you more pain and requiring additional appointments for treatment. Extraction is a simple procedure in the hands of our expert team. After providing IV sedation or another form of anesthesia to relax and numb you, we gently loosen the tooth or teeth with a tool called an elevator before extracting them with forceps. We can perform one or multiple tooth extraction in a single visit right here in our Wantagh, NY office.
- Ridge AugmentationSome bone loss cases are severe enough to require more advanced procedures to restore normal bone volume. With ridge augmentation we use bone grafting material to reconstitute the natural contours of your jaw. With a smooth jaw line, your dental implants will remain stable for a longer period of time.
- Bone GraftingWhen you lose teeth, the bone underneath can quickly follow. Your jawbone actually thrives with the stimulation it gets when you chew food. Without a full set of teeth, the bone can deteriorate. You end up losing teeth, bone, normal oral functioning, and even your distinctive appearance. It’s true—bone loss can significantly alter the way you look, eat, and speak. At South Shore Long Island Periodontics & Implantology we can restore your lost bone through bone grafting, a sinus lift or other innovative and effective procedures, enabling us to replace your lost teeth with durable dental implants that will restore your quality of life! With three board-certified periodontists on staff here at our Wantagh, NY office, we’re uniquely equipped and qualified to bring the smile back to your face.
