Does my child have to switch to a different office for braces?

Fewer shots: Laser treatment is so gentle and comfortable that, in many cases, no anesthesia is needed.
Less drilling: Lasers allow our dentists to be precise when removing decay without the need for drills.
More efficient: Dental laser treatments are so efficient that we often perform multiple procedures during a single appointment instead of multiple visits.
Greater precision: With dental lasers, we pinpoint problem areas and remove only the decay while preserving healthy tooth structure
Faster healing times: Lasers promote faster healing and regeneration due to minimal bleeding and lowered risk of infection.

No. Dr. Skurnick provides orthodontic treatment right here at Staten Island Pediatric Dentistry, working alongside Dr. Flanigan and Dr. Lange. That means your child's general dental care and orthodontic care stay under one familiar roof, with the same team coordinating the timing.
