Regular Checkups and Periodontal Care

As the first line of defense against tooth damage and gum disease, biannual checkups are an important part of maintaining good dental health. Dr. Laudati and his general dentistry staff in Smithtown perform a quick and easy checkup, making sure the teeth and gums are safe while also looking for possible signs of cancer.

If teeth are found to be affected by gum disease, Dr. Laudati will take the appropriate steps to maintain and improve the condition of the mouth. The disease is best dealt with when found in its early stages, lest it degrade the teeth and gums while transforming into the severe condition, periodontitis.

TMJ Treatment

Dr. Laudati trained at the Pankey Institute for TMJ treatment and full mouth rehabilitation, positioning him as one of the top practitioners in these fields. When it comes to treating TMJ, you can rest assured, knowing you’ll be receiving care from a highly trained and knowledgeable dentist.

Temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMJ, is a syndrome affecting the joint where the lower jaw hinges onto the skull. Symptoms include jaw clicking or popping, facial pain, lockjaw, and bite issues. Caused by either trauma or arthritis, this affliction can be treated with therapy, pain killers, and surgery (but normally only as a last resort).

Tooth Extractions

There are several reasons to extract a tooth, and we can accommodate them all. Dr. Laudati swiftly and effectively removes damaged or decayed teeth, using advanced equipment, facilitating a prompt recovery that will turnover into a quick replacement.

Root Canal Therapy

When the root canal - the soft tissue inside the tooth made up of nerves and pulp - becomes infected, root canal therapy is critical. The problem is that the root canal creates a great pocket for bacteria to continually reside in, painfully inflaming the gum tissue around it.

By skillfully clearing out the root canal and protecting the tooth with a crown or an onlay, Dr. Laudati preserves the remaining tooth structure and relieves pain caused by the infection. This procedure can sometimes sound intimidating to patients, but Dr. Laudati and his staff are a compassionate and talented team that utilizes painless injections and the latest technology to give patients a good experience and the results they need.

Custom Bite Guards

Whether they shield teeth from the slow grind of bruxism or from a sudden impact that can occur during sports, the custom bite guards we design for our patients comfortably protect their teeth.
