i-CAT® Cone Beam CT Scan
This system allows for digital imaging right here in our Wantagh, NY office that is both high-definition and three-dimensional. The main advantage of this scanning system is that it exposes you to significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans and allows for quicker and easier image acquisition. A typical i-CAT scan takes only twenty seconds. After the images are retrieved, the state-of-the-art software allows your doctor to perform the most thorough diagnoses possible in a variety of treatment areas. Because a 3D image is produced, we can offer the most accurate and interactive treatment planning between you and your doctor.

Deka CO2 Laser
State-of-the-art technology has allowed for laser therapy to be an integral part of our periodontal and implant practice. Laser surgery is so precise that healthy surrounding tissue is scarcely affected. Our CO2 laser gives us an exceptional level of control in performing certain periodontal procedures, including frenectomies, during which we remove tissues that restrict movement of your mouth and make eating and speaking difficult. In cases of gum disease, we can use the laser to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar or the affected tissue itself if necessary. It can even remove your unwanted tattoos!

VELscope®

VELscope®
The VELscope, combined with a visual and tactile examination, allows your doctor to identify areas of soft tissue where pathological changes may be developing. The VELscope® highlights areas where problematic cells are detected. We may perform a biopsy or refer you to a specialist to render the correct diagnosis and treatment. One of the keys to successful treatment of oral cancer is early detection. The VELscope helps us catch oral cancer as early as possible, often before it can be detected with the naked eye.

3Shape TRIOS® Intraoral Scanner
Using a small, wand-like camera we can take high-resolution, close-up images of the interior of your mouth. This enables us to show you problem areas on the spot and provide more precise, effective treatment. This modern technology also replaces messy, uncomfortable, and time-consuming impressions with digital ones.
3-D Printer

3-D Printer
Using specialized software and modern imaging, we’re able to digitally plan dental implant surgery and then fabricate surgical guides in-house using our 3D printer. These guides make dental implant placement more accurate, more efficient, and more precise. And printing them in-house can streamline your treatment, getting you to your new smile faster. We also use this technology to custom create models as diagnostic tools and for clear patient communication and education.
Experience Is the Other Component of Our Success
Sophisticated dental technology is beneficial only if the professionals offering it have solid credentials. As board-certified periodontists, our team has been recognized by the leading authorities in dentistry as being up-to-date on treatments and therapies. Each of our periodontists has up to four years of additional training beyond dental school in specialties including implantology, surgery, gum and bone physiology, and more. We’re exceptionally qualified to provide you the finest care.
