1. Preventive Care
Prevention is the key to maintaining good oral health. Our preventive care services include regular dental cleanings, thorough examinations, and screenings for oral cancer and other dental diseases. By identifying potential issues early on, we can address them before they become more serious and costly to treat.
2. Restorative Treatments
If you have dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, or missing teeth, our restorative treatments can help restore your oral health and function. We offer dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones. Our team uses the latest techniques and materials to ensure durable and natural-looking results.

If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your smile, our cosmetic dentistry services can help.

Our dentists will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific cosmetic goals.
4. Orthodontics
Straightening crooked or misaligned teeth is not only beneficial for your appearance but also for your oral health. We provide orthodontic treatments such as traditional braces and Invisalign® clear aligners to help you achieve a straighter smile. Our orthodontic services are tailored to your individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.

7. Periodontal Care

Our periodontal care services include scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, and gum grafting to treat gum disease and restore the health of your gums. Our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your periodontal health.
8. Sedation Dentistry

Advanced Technology
At Konikoff Dentistry, we are committed to staying at the forefront of dental technology to provide our patients with the highest level of care. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with innovative tools and equipment that enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and comfort of our dental treatments. Some of the advanced technologies we utilize include:
Digital X-Rays
We utilize digital X-rays, which emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, to capture detailed images of your teeth and gums. Digital X-rays provide immediate results and allow our dentists to detect dental issues such as cavities, bone loss, and infections more accurately.
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are small, handheld devices that capture high-resolution images of your mouth’s interior. These images are displayed on a computer screen, allowing our dentists to show you any dental problems or areas of concern. Intraoral cameras also enable us to better explain treatment options and educate you about your oral health.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is a minimally invasive and precise technique that can be used for various dental procedures. It can be employed for gum disease treatment, cavity removal, gum reshaping, and even teeth whitening. Laser dentistry offers faster healing times, reduced bleeding, and enhanced comfort compared to traditional dental techniques.
3D Imaging
Our advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to create detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This technology is particularly useful for planning complex procedures such as dental implant placement or orthodontic treatments. With 3D imaging, we can visualize your dental anatomy more accurately and develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
