- Dental ExaminationGum recession develops slowly, and may not be immediately apparent when you look in the mirror. This is one of many reasons why you should undergo dental exams on a regular basis.
- X-raysTo customize your full mouth reconstruction, you will have a personal consultation with Dr. Mormino at our Staten Island office. We will take dental x-rays and conduct an extensive examination of your mouth, jaw, and gums during this visit. Once Dr. Mormino understands the extent of your dental needs, he will discuss your goals and budget to help determine a set of procedures that will best achieve the results you desire.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOur dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. In some cases, this may involve an oral cancer screening or x-rays.
- Teeth CleaningWhile brushing twice daily and flossing once per day are both important to maintaining periodontal health, six-month checkups and dental cleanings at our Staten Island office are equally necessary. During regular checkups, we can monitor for signs of gum disease. In doing so, we can typically catch the disease in its earliest stage—gingivitis—when it is most treatable and manageable. As gum disease advances, more intensive treatments are necessary to restore gum health. Attending your regular checkups can help avoid these lengthier and costlier procedures.
- Fluoride TreatmentDr. Joseph Mormino and his team are dedicated to providing a comprehensive scope of preventive treatments to ensure that patients can enjoy a happy and healthy smile for as long as possible at his Staten Island, NY, practice. Included among these services are professional fluoride treatments, which help strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay. By laying the foundations for strong teeth early on, you can minimize the risks of more serious health problems such as periodontal disease and their sometimes costly restorative treatments.
- Dental SealantsFluoride treatments and dental sealants are both great options for protecting the teeth from cavities and decay, but the two are often confused. Where fluoride is absorbed by teeth and can help protect and strengthen your tooth’s enamel, sealants are physical barriers used to prevent food from becoming lodged in the back molars. Sealants are an excellent preventative solution for patients of all ages.
- FillingsDue to our commitment to excellence, post-graduate training, and on-site dental laboratory, our office is uniquely qualified to provide patients with full mouth reconstructive services. These services include tooth whitening, placement of porcelain veneers, replacement of amalgam fillings, and prosthodontic treatment in New York.
- Resin CompositeFor patients with minor tooth decay, Dr. Joseph Mormino provides realistic, conservative dental fillings at his Staten Island, NY, practice. Made of composite resin, these restorations are designed to blend in with your natural teeth while restoring lost function. Patients can receive their filling in a single appointment and immediately return to their daily routine. The doctor and his team are dedicated to providing a spa-like, stress-free environment so that you remain comfortable throughout your visit to the office.
- VeneersIf you are unhappy with the look of your smile, porcelain dental veneers are the ultimate cosmetic treatment option. Dr. Joseph T. Mormino can create and place beautiful, custom porcelain veneers for you at his Staten Island, NY, office. Dr. Mormino uses an on-site laboratory to ensure that your veneers are designed to look natural and complement your unique smile. View transcript
- CrownsThe dental office of Joseph T. Mormino, D.D.S., is among the fewer than two percent of practices in the country with an onsite laboratory. This allows our Staten Island, NY, practice to plan, create, and place same-day crowns, saving you the expense of a temporary crown and the hassle of multiple visits over the course of several weeks. We understand our patients have busy lives, and we use sophisticated technology to provide smile restoration in a fraction of the time traditionally required.

- Restorative DentistryIf you are looking for a solution to damaged and missing teeth, restorative dentistry can improve your quality of life. Dr. Mormino is an experienced dentist affiliated with several prestigious organizations including...
- Root Canal TreatmentTraditionally, dental crowns require at least two dental appointments over the course of about two weeks. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared for crown placement. Decayed or damaged portions of the tooth are removed, sometimes as part of a root canal therapy. The tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown, the dentist takes an impression, and a temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being crafted.
- Deep CleaningIf you suffer from gum disease, Dr. Mormino can perform a scaling and root planing procedure, or deep cleaning, to restore your periodontal health. During treatment, he will remove pockets of plaque from below the gum line and smooth rough spots on the roots to prevent the accumulation of bacteria.
- DenturesDentures give you a full, bright-looking smile and appear more lifelike than ever. Furthermore, they fill out the hollowness in your cheeks and jaw that results from tooth loss, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Our dentistry office has many features, such as heated neck pillows, TV and music in every room, and beverages that ease nerves accompanying oral surgery and make the day of your procedure comfortable from beginning to end.
- Tooth ExtractionsFor some patients, the process of a tooth extraction can feel daunting if you fear the pain of extraction or a possible dry socket. However, the benefits of extraction will make your life a lot easier in the future.
- Bone GraftingImplants require a strong foundation. If you suffer from significant atrophy, you may require bone grafting surgery before you can qualify for dental implants. While this isn't something we perform at our Staten Island, NY, dentistry practice, we work and coordinate with dental surgeons in the local area to ensure you receive the care you need.
- Teeth WhiteningConsuming stain-causing substances like wine, coffee, and berries can gradually darken teeth over time. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening at our practice in Staten Island, NY, can help you achieve a bright and beautiful smile. Some patients choose to undergo an in-office Zoom!® whitening to brighten their smiles by several shades, while others prefer the convenience and affordability offered by take-home whitening kits. Additionally, it is also possible to combine both treatments for more lasting results. When you visit our practice for a consultation, Dr. Joseph Mormino will help determine the best whitening option for you based on your individual goals and financial needs. Contact Joseph T. Mormino, DDS today to schedule an appointment.
- Cosmetic DentistryFor some dental patients, a single cosmetic dentistry treatment will not achieve the final results that they desire.
- General DentistryUnlike general dentistry, which focuses on preventative care, fillings, and other oral health problems, cosmetic dentistry addresses cosmetic issues that detract from your smile. That could include discoloration, chips, cracks, or other problems.
