Your Prevention Team at Both Locations
Our hygienists are registered dental hygienists dedicated to gentle cleanings, preventive care, and patient education. They coordinate directly with our periodontists on staff for any gum health concerns — no referrals needed.
Gentle Cleanings. Thorough Prevention. Real Results.
Our hygienists don’t just clean your teeth — they protect your overall health. Gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. Regular hygiene visits catch problems early and keep your smile healthy for life.
Professional Cleanings
Gentle, thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup your toothbrush can’t reach. Your teeth will feel brand new.
Preventive Care
Fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings to catch issues before they become problems.
Periodontal Maintenance
Specialized cleanings for patients with gum disease, coordinated directly with our periodontists on staff. No outside referrals needed.
Patient Education
Personalized brushing and flossing guidance, dietary recommendations, and at-home care tips tailored to your specific needs.
Digital X-Rays
80% less radiation than traditional X-rays. Clear images that help our team spot cavities, bone loss, and other concerns early.
Gum Health Assessment
Every visit includes a thorough gum health evaluation. If we spot signs of periodontal disease, our periodontist is right down the hall.
Your Hygienist and Periodontist Work Together
At most dental offices, if your hygienist spots a gum problem, you get referred to an outside periodontist — a new office, a new wait, a new set of paperwork. At Island Dental, our hygienists coordinate directly with our board-certified periodontist, right here in the same building.
That means faster treatment, seamless communication, and a team that shares the same records, the same goals, and the same commitment to your health. No referrals. No runaround. Just the care you need, when you need it.
- In-house periodontist — no outside referrals
- Hygienist and periodontist share the same records

About Hygiene Visits
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease or are at higher risk for periodontal issues, our hygienist and periodontist may recommend more frequent visits — typically every three to four months. We’ll tailor your schedule to your specific needs.
Yes. Our hygienists are known for their gentle touch. We work at your pace and check in throughout the visit. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, just let us know — we’ll adjust our approach to keep you comfortable.
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning for patients who have been treated for gum disease. It goes deeper than a standard cleaning and targets the areas below the gum line where bacteria tend to accumulate. At Island Dental, our hygienists coordinate directly with our board-certified periodontist for these visits — all under one roof.
Yes. We have registered dental hygienists at both our Franklin Square and Levittown offices. Both locations offer the same quality of preventive care. You can call or book online to schedule your preferred time.
