Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Every beautiful smile we create always starts with a standard checkup and cleaning, because when it comes to taking care of your long-term oral health, they are the foundation.
A checkup, or oral exam, gives us the chance to look at your teeth, gums, jaw, and any existing dental work to make sure everything is in good shape. Should we spot a problem, we’ll quickly treat it before it can affect your smile. By coming in for these appointments regularly, we’ll stop many dental issues before they even begin!
With a cleaning, one of our excellent hygienists will use sophisticated tools to remove harmful plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums, which are the root cause of most dental issues. This won’t only make your teeth look and feel great, but it will also be able to target those areas in your mouth that your tools at home simply can’t reach.

Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer can be a fatal disease that is treatable when detected early, which is why we recommend that every adult should have at least one oral cancer screening per year. Your dentist can perform one as part of your regular checkup, during which they’ll use the DOE SE kit. This consists of a special fluorescent light and glasses that will allow your dentist to spot potentially cancerous tissues before they are visible to the naked eye.

Gum Disease Treatment
Our periodontal care involves the use of soft tissue lasers, which makes a big difference in your experience at our Massapequa Park office. Few dentists use lasers, even though this technology can help reduce pain, improve sterilization, eliminate the need for anesthesia and stitches, and make the healing process shorter.
When you’re considering where you should seek general dentistry treatment, why not visit an office that uses advanced technology to treat gum disease? As a serious condition that affects most people on some level or another, it can eventually lead to tooth loss if left untreated. We take gum disease seriously, and it’s evident by our decision to use a laser to ensure more successful treatment.

Under Armour Mouthguards
Mouth-related sports injuries are some of the most common dental emergencies among children and adults alike. Fortunately, most of them can be avoided by wearing a protective mouthguard. We can provide you with a custom-made mouthguard from Under Armour. It will be specially designed to fit over your teeth so that your smile remains better protected from an unexpected impact. Plus, custom-made mouthguards have also been shown to lower an athlete’s risk of sustaining concussions.
