South Shore Long Island Periodontics & Implants

Dental Examination

Teeth Cleaning
Having an understanding of gum disease is integral to making informed decisions that support your oral and overall health. Gum tissue is one of the most important parts of your mouth, supporting your teeth and jawbone while creating a barrier against bacteria. The earliest stage of gum disease called gingivitis occurs when bacteria in your mouth causes gum inflammation. Good oral hygiene at home and regular professional dental cleanings can often reverse early gum disease. While the number one cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene, other risk factors include...

Crowns
Too 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.
Bridges
We 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

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease, we encourage you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible for LANAP® in Wantagh, NY. Unlike a traditional gingivectomy or osseous surgery would, LANAP® doesn’t require scalpels, incisions or sutures to treat gum disease, so the risk of infection during recovery is minimal. After numbing the area with local anesthetic, Dr. Lois Levine and Dr. Joo Kim will wave the PerioLase MVP-7 laser over areas of your infected gum tissue to eliminate infection and harmful bacteria, then closes the gap between your teeth and gums so bacteria can’t enter. Most patients at South Shore Long Island Periodontics & implantology P.C. choose LANAP® because it offers many advantages over traditional approaches. In fact, even patients that avoided dental treatment or experienced problems with traditional surgery in the past are willing to undergo LANAP® gum surgery. Studies show that several months after LANAP® treatment, most patients see a significant reduction in the depth of their periodontal pockets.
Deep Cleaning
Gum 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.

Dentures

Dental Implants
Dental implants are made to last a lifetime, but in rare situations, they can fail. Though the issue isn’t with the implant itself, but with the surrounding tissue, the potential for costly and uncomfortable implant replacement or removal is real. Peri-implantitis is a condition in which the area around the base of the dental implant becomes infected and inflamed. You may also start to see deep pockets developing around your dental implants. Eventually, the implants can loosen, causing misalignment, and ultimately falling out. Deterioration of the underlying bone can also follow. At the very first sign of peri-implantitis, it’s important that you seek immediate treatment by contacting us at our Wantagh, NY office. The professionals here at South Shore Long Island Periodontics & Implantology can protect your investment from the complications of peri-implantitis if we catch it early enough.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
2 laser gives our team an exceptional level of control in performing gum disease treatment and other periodontal procedures. As board-certified periodontists and diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology, our doctors have extensive skills and qualifications in all gum-related procedures. We stay at the forefront of technology through ongoing training and education to offer patients in the Wantagh, NY area the latest treatments and therapies available, including laser gum surgery.
Osseous Surgery
In Wantagh, NY to promote bone regeneration around your teeth with the ultimate goal of saving them. The protocol targets and kills the bacteria that cause gum disease, removes damaged gum tissue, and reattaches healthy tissue to the tooth root surface. The sophisticated LANAP® PerioLase MVP-7 laser enables our team to provide minimally invasive laser dentistry in Wantagh, NY without the pain, gum line recession, or increased sensitivity associated with traditional osseous surgery.
Tooth Extractions
Intense, 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 Augmentation
Some 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 Grafting
When 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.
