X-rays
These television monitors are found next to every patient chair. Patients can watch a movie or TV show. Patients can also view their dental x-rays when speaking to the doctor about the findings for a better understanding of their oral health.

Teeth Cleaning

Fillings
Crowns
Implants may be a good replacement option for teeth that are missing or need to be removed. Implants are screws made of titanium that are placed beneath the gums into the jawbone, and function similarly to the root of a natural tooth, by supporting a crown, bridge, or denture. After placement, implants lock-in, or integrate, into the jawbone over several months. The time needed for healing is variable but usually, ranges from four to six months. After that time, you may return to your dentist for placement of the restoration on the implant.
Bridges
An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth without the use of a denture. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for the patient’s natural teeth.

Root Canal Treatment
After a tooth has had a root canal treatment, it is still possible for the tooth to get re-infected. If this happens, there are a number of treatment options, one of which is an apicoectomy. This procedure involves making an incision in the gums in order to access and clean the infection at the top of the tooth root, and then placing a filling into the root.
Apicoectomy

Dentures
Once a tooth is lost, several things begin to happen that are not immediately noticeable to a patient and which can have a significant negative effect on both health and appearance. Tooth roots help hold teeth in place but they are also critical in maintaining health in the surrounding gums and supporting bone structures. Bone loss in the jawbone is one of the significant problems that naturally occurs once a tooth is lost. This bone loss can compromise the integrity of neighboring tooth roots and tooth stability. This bone loss is also a large part of what causes the “sunken” look that is seen in people who have lost several or all of their teeth. It is the reason patients who wear dentures find that over time their dentures are harder and harder to fit and keep in place.

Dental Implants
We specialize in implant placement. According to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Some pain, bleeding, and swelling are normal following oral surgery. Please do not try to view the site by pulling on your lip and do not probe the area with your tongue or fingers. If you experience excessive bleeding or discomfort after 48-72 hours, please call our office immediately.
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery can involve procedures such as an osteotomy (bone cutting), bone grafts, or distraction osteogenesis (stretching of the bone) and orthodontic (braces) care. Orthognathic correction is conducted in stages, and the course of treatment can last from a few months to a year or more.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Goldberg is the Chief of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at North Shore University Hospital at Syosset and is an Assistant Clinical Professor at The State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine. He maintains attending staff positions at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital at Manhasset, North Shore University Hospital at Syosset, Winthrop University Hospital and Nassau University Medical Center.
Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is the addition of bone which has been lost due to previous extractions, periodontal disease, trauma or bone defects due to congenital anomalies. Bone grafting is often performed in order to facilitate the proper placement of dental implants or to repair form and function following the removal of cysts or tumors of the jaw bone. There are different sources of bone that can be used for grafting. Bone grafts can be obtained from other sites in the jaw, other sites in the body, freeze dried bone from a bone bank, or synthetic materials can be used in certain circumstances.

Braces
Your orthodontist may refer you for evaluation and exposure of an impacted tooth, most commonly a canine. An impacted tooth is one that remains beneath the gums, instead of erupting to be a part of your bite. When possible, the recommendation may be to perform an exposure with bracketing. This requires opening up the gums around the impacted tooth, and placing a bracket on it, similar to the one your orthodontist uses for braces. The tooth is then attached to your braces with a chain or elastic, and after a small period of healing, you may return to your orthodontist to begin pulling the tooth into the appropriate position.
