Suffolk Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics

Suffolk Pediatric dentistry and orthodontics is a well-established dental practice serving Suffolk County, New York, with a legacy spanning over four decades. The practice was founded in 1976 by Dr. Stephen Gold and has since grown from a single office to multiple locations, including Port Jefferson Station, Wading River, Sayville, Smithtown, Medford, and Patchogue. The brand is built on the philosophy of providing a caring and compassionate environment for all patients, with a special emphasis on children, including those with special needs such as autism or cerebral palsy. The practice offers a comprehensive suite of services that encompasses both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Their pediatric dental services include preventive and diagnostic care such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, as well as restorative dentistry like fillings, crowns, and extractions. They also provide sedation options, including nitrous oxide, to help anxious children feel relaxed and comfortable during their appointments. In addition to pediatric care, the clinic has a dedicated team of orthodontists who treat not only children and teenagers but also adults. Their orthodontic services cover a full spectrum of treatments, from early interceptive orthodontics to traditional braces and Invisalign®. The practice is committed to making the dental experience positive and fun for kids. They use child-friendly language, have a welcoming office environment, and even have an iconic "banana chair" that has been a part of the practice's history for many years. The team of doctors at Suffolk Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics are all highly trained specialists who have completed two to three years of additional education beyond dental school. This specialized training allows them to address the unique dental needs and temperaments of young patients. The practice also works with a wide range of insurance carriers and offers a membership program for those without insurance, demonstrating their commitment to making quality dental care accessible to all families in the community.
