What to Expect from the Sachem Dental Group Nesconset

If you live near our Nesconset location—situated at 110 Smithtown Boulevard—then you are right down the road from one of the largest practices in our network. Our team in Nesconset is made up of 10 extremely skilled dental professionals—including general dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists.

You can rely on the Nesconset branch of Sachem Dental Group for routine dental checkups and cleanings, as well as more serious procedures like tooth extractions or wisdom teeth removals. We also have specialists on staff who are qualified to diagnose and treat gum disease (our periodontists), use braces and other methods to achieve a straight and beautiful smile (our orthodontists), and more.

When to Schedule an Appointment to See an Orthodontist

There are many misconceptions in the world of dental care and hygiene. One of these is the mistaken belief that orthodontic care is only for kids and teenagers. While braces are often associated with adolescence, the truth is that patients of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment.

So when should you visit Sachem Dental Group in Nesconset for an appointment with one of our orthodontists? The biggest rule of thumb here is that you should see an orthodontist if you ever have any questions or concerns about the alignment of your teeth or jaw. If you didn’t have braces as a kid but have crooked teeth that are causing you pain or hurting your self-esteem, then a consultation with an orthodontist can be extremely fruitful. If you have an overbite or underbite, you should consult an orthodontist for that as well.

Even if you did have braces as a child, your teeth could lose their alignment if you fail to wear your retainer after your braces are removed. In other words, even if you have completed orthodontic treatment in the past, that doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t seek orthodontic treatment in the future.

For kids, the standard recommendation is that a child should have his or her first orthodontic treatment at the age of seven. For older patients, it’s always worth asking your general dentist if orthodontia might be a necessary or smart treatment path for you.

If you need an orthodontist, general dentist, oral surgeon, or periodontist in Nesconset, call Sachem Dental Group to arrange an initial consultation. You can reach our Nesconset practice by dialing 631-382-8585.
