PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY & ORTHODONTICS IN PORT JEFFERSON STATION

Our Port Jefferson Station pediatric dental practice provides a full range of services for our patients. These include:

Preventive and Diagnostic Services – Preventive care is the most important thing we do at Suffolk Pediatric Dentistry. Not only do these services help keep your child’s smile healthy, they’re also important because they teach your child how to care for their teeth. Our preventive and diagnostic services include oral evaluations, dental cleanings, fluoride treatment, dental sealants, and imaging.

Restorative Dental Services – Even with the best home oral hygiene, kids get cavities and damage their teeth. We use restorative dental treatments to return teeth to their original function and strength. These treatments include amalgam and composite fillings, bonding, pulp treatment, and dental crowns. When a tooth cannot be fixed with restorative treatments, we may need to extract it to improve a patient’s oral health.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry – It’s important to us that your child’s experience at our office is a positive one. When needed, we use nitrous oxide sedation dentistry to ensure that dental procedures are comfortable and trauma-free.

Our orthodontists in Port Jefferson provide traditional braces as well as the following orthodontic treatment options:

Early Treatment - By age 7, the first adult molars typically erupt, which helps to define a patient’s back bite and allows an orthodontist to more effectively evaluate the bite. Early treatment is not always necessary, but orthodontic monitoring can help prevent more serious problems in the future. 

Interceptive Orthodontics - Sometimes known as phase one orthodontic treatment, interceptive orthodontics aims to influence the development of the teeth and jaw as a child is still growing to minimize or even eliminate the need for braces in the future. 

Invisalign - Known as a virtually invisible alternative to braces, a series of Invisalign clear aligners gradually work to shift teeth and correct malocclusions. Our orthodontists will create a custom treatment plan for you or your child.

When treatment is complete, we offer retainers to ensure that the results last a lifetime.
