Dental Implants
Our dental implant procedure replaces missing teeth with titanium posts that bond with jawbone tissue. This solution offers permanent stability for prosthetic teeth while maintaining facial structure integrity. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and natural aesthetics that boost confidence in social and professional settings.
LANAP Therapy
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure treats gum disease without traditional surgery. The precision technology removes infected tissue while preserving healthy areas. Patients experience faster healing times and minimal discomfort compared to conventional methods while achieving improved periodontal health outcomes.
Pinhole Technique
This minimally invasive procedure addresses gum recession by repositioning existing tissue without incisions. The technique offers immediate coverage of exposed tooth roots while reducing sensitivity. Patients appreciate the quick recovery and natural-looking gumline restoration.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing periodontal therapy includes specialized cleanings and monitoring to prevent disease progression. Our protocol combines scaling, root planing, and patient education for long-term oral health. Regular maintenance helps preserve natural teeth and implant longevity through proactive disease management.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. From mild sedation for routine procedures to deeper sedation for complex cases, our approach helps patients overcome dental anxiety while receiving necessary care without stress or discomfort.

Excellent practice. Dr. Scharf was very patient and answered all my questions in detail and really took the time to explain the treatment. The staff is very friendly. Prior to my initial appointment, Dr. Scharf personally called to see if I had any questions or concerns prior to the appointment.

Recently had LANAP surgery done by Dr Scharf. The entire staff at Dr Sharifs office is great and the surgery made a huge improvement in my oral health. No more bleeding gums and gum pain. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs periodontal treatment.

My choice to make an appointment with Dr Scharf was the best decision I have ever made. Kristen is the best hygienist ever! My gums would be gnawing every night before I went to bed and now I do not experience that pain. The perioscopy was the best because there was no surgery involved. Thanks Dr Scarf and Kristen!

I am giving to Dr. Scharf 5 starts for perfect all, from initial examination, to follow ups, to procedure, to post follow ups. Even the admin staff who got my insurance paying part of this non-covered procedure. I am super happy and strongly recommend this Periodontist Practice w/out any hesitation. Love you guys

I'm really not sure where to begin, or if I can even express enough gratitude to Dr. Scharf, Mary and the rest of his staff. After having an upper denture for decades, and a lower bridge that was falling out due to tooth loss, I decided to venture into dental implants. After speaking with 2 other dentists that told me I wasn't a candidate, Dr. Scharf confidently told me that I absolutely was! He performed the implant surgery without complication, recommended me to an awesome restoration dentist (Dr. McLaughlin of Bay Shore) for the permanent bridges and the result is incredible.
