Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
  The orthodontist may take dental X-rays to assess the position of the teeth and roots. They may also take impressions or digital scans of your child’s teeth to create a detailed model of their mouth. That helps the orthodontist analyze the relationship between the teeth and jaws and plan any necessary treatment.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment
  9. PREVENTIVE RECALL VISITS: We maintain a well organized preventive recall system. You will be notified at six month intervals. At this time your child will be thoroughly examined for any signs of dental disease or oral problems. The occlusion (“bite”) will be evaluated. Oral hygiene will be reviewed. A professional cleaning and topical fluoride treatment will be applied. Regular preventive recall visits promote superior dental health.
• Dental Sealants
  7. SEALANTS: An effective method to prevent cavities on the chewing surface of the molar teeth. We will advise you if we feel your child can benefit from this advancement in dentistry.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Jaw Surgery
  Early orthodontic evaluations can help identify and address problems before they become more severe. For example, interceptive treatments can help prevent overcrowding by guiding the growth of the jaw and creating space for emerging permanent teeth. That can reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on, such as tooth extraction or jaw surgery.
• Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Our pediatric dentists accumulate over 89 years of hands-on experience in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Moreover, all of our doctors (Cynthia A. Pattison, D.M.D, Sari C. Zimmer, D.M.D, Vanessa Q. Velilla, D.D.S., M.S., Joel M. Servoss, D.D.S., and Gabriel J. Ollins, D.D.S.,M.S.) have full staff privileges at the Dental Faculty at Hackensack University Medical Center (the official hospital of the New York Giants). You can also forget about language barriers, because Dr. Velilla speaks fluent Spanish.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Clear aligners like Invisalign are a popular alternative to traditional braces. They are removable, transparent trays that fit over the teeth and gradually shift them into place. Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
• Braces
  Orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth or bite problems, can appear as your child’s permanent teeth enter. Regular visits to a pediatric dentist allow for early detection of these issues. Early intervention can simplify orthodontic treatment and sometimes even eliminate the need for braces or other corrective measures later.
