Dental Implants

Missing Teeth? Why Not ‘Grow’
New Ones?

Implant Dentistry Lake Ronkonkoma NY
Dental implants are the ideal way to replace lost teeth. From the front of the mouth, where they are most visible, to the back, where they provide stability to chew a full variety of foods, implants can help you recapture a beautiful and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums, dental implants are placed under the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like, because it comes through the gums just like the original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Implants can be used to replace any number of lost teeth. Even people with no teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that don’t move around when they talk, and don’t need to be taken out at night. Because we handle the entire process from implant placement to crown fabrication, there’s no need to be referred to another office. Dental implants can also be used to "lock in" dentures for a secure fit. Call for a no-obligation implant consultation today.

Children's Dentistry

Choosing Your Child’s
Dentist is Like Choosing
Their Pediatrician
Dr. Filangeri understands this. Instilling good habits early, in an environment that’s comfortable and fun, is essential for a lifetime of good oral health.

Children are not able to brush well on their own. Because of this, it is important for parents to be involved in their child’s daily dental care.
This ensures thorough cleaning as well as the development of proper
dental habits.

Little kids tend to eat more often during the day (grazing). This results in a prolonged exposure to acid (every time you eat you make acid), which may cause more cavities.

A tooth that is not as clean as it should be will be exposed to acid when food and juice contact it. This acid often speeds up the development of cavities. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can significantly reduce the chance of your child having a cavity. Sealants may be recommended!

Dental Office

A Different Kind of
Dental Relationship
Dental Office Lake Ronkonkoma
When you visit, our first goal is to establish a feeling of trust. Our job is to listen to you, respect your feelings and concerns, and educate you, rather than judge your decisions. We understand that you may be anxious about the process of receiving dental care; therefore, we make a point to carefully explain your proposed treatment plan and we take the time to answer all of your questions. Only then will we take you through your treatment with the utmost of care. Modern dentistry has many techniques, local anesthetics, and relaxation methods to increase your comfort. The more involved you are in making your dental health decisions, the less room there is for fear and uncertainty.
