Bone grafting can restore bone loss caused by periodontal disease. When a tooth that has been missing is not replaced, the bone in the immediate area begins to gradually resorb into the body. Why? When teeth are in position and typical forces are applied (chewing), bone and tissue are stimulated. An additional consequence of deteriorating bone can be the collapse of facial structure.
You'll be happy to know that dental implant surgery is pain-free. We utilize state-of-the-art technology (please visit our 3D Dental Imaging page) and employ the latest surgical techniques to ensure your best care. In a word, experience. Dr. Sciarrino has spent three decades providing dental implant surgery to Fairfield County patients.
If your wisdom teeth partially erupt, bacteria can form which often leads to infection. The result is swelling, pain, stiffness in your jaw, and all too often, resulting illness. In some more serious cases they remain trapped beneath gum and bone. Impacted wisdom teeth can occupy many positions in the bone as they struggle to find a pathway where they can successfully erupt.
Generally speaking, patients who suffer from protruding or misaligned jaws, unbalanced facial appearance (facial asymmetry), or other aesthetic conditions relating to jaw alignment (caused by injury or birth defects) can benefit from orthognathic surgery. Left untreated, patients may experience difficulty in chewing, speaking and sleeping - and may sustain serious, long-term oral health issues.
Dental surgery is similar to other types of surgery in that during your recovery, you may be at risk for infection. Here are 7 tips to ease recovery from oral surgery and prevent infection. Oral surgery typically requires anesthesia which can cause drowsiness and grogginess for several hours. It is extremely important you relax after surgery.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Scirriano and his team. I went to have three wisdom teeth removed, and they were so professional. I didn’t have any pain and had quick recovery. I just can thanks God for being them because they were so professional and willing to help people. Nowadays it is not easy to find a good dentist, but I’m so glad I did. Highly recommended!

I had several teeth extracted, including wisdom teeth, a broken tooth, and an ingrown tooth. After the extractions, I received two implants. I was very nervous going into the entire procedure as I have been a very nervous dental patient in my life - often avoiding dentist visits for years on end. My experience with Dr. Sciarrino was fantastic. The extractions were completely painless, and I had no post-procedure pain or discomfort whatsoever. I stopped taking pain medication within 24 hours because there was no pain - and I was back to work and exercise just 1 or 2 days later. Same experience with

My experiences at this specific dental office has always been absolutely incredible. The staff is warm, friendly and extremely professional. Dr. Sciarrino is personable and has always made me feel comfortable and valued as a patient. I’ve had several surgeries done with him and they have all been successful with no complications what so ever. Overall, the care that I’ve experienced is great hands down.

The best. Dr. Sciarrino is a Central Park South or Fifth Avenue oral surgeon nestled right here in Stamford. Dr. Sciarrino delivered kind, professional, pain free care. I recommend Dr. Sciarrino if you want a safe caring professional who takes care of you perfectly and painlessly. Even his office is beautiful. There is no better.

I have had an extraction and this week 3 implants at once. I was dreading the procedure and recovery, but it was a much easier experience than I had thought. Even better is the recovery has been almost 100% pain and discomfort free.
Dr. Sciarrino completely put me at ease. His office staff is super to deal with and totally professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone undergoing oral surgery.

I have procrastinated dental surgery for a decade until I met Dr. Sciarrino! He put my mind at ease, answered all my questions about the surgery and made me feel confident. I went in for impacted wisdom teeth surgery, fearing the worst!! I have recovered fully and so glad that I decided to do it. If you live in the area and need oral surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Sciarrino and his staff.

Going into the office I was a nervous wreck. I got into the chair and Dr. Sciarrino calmed my nerves like that. He was super understanding and him cracking jokes made it that much better. The procedure went AMAZINGLY. If I knew what it was going to be like, I wouldn't have been so nervous! If you need any kind of oral surgery, this is the place you need to go. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Sciarrino and Staff! :)

Great service all around. Everyone in the office is friendly. I went in to get three wisdom teeth removed. I was dreading it because like all adults we all dread dental work. The x-ray was quick. Along with the tooth removal. Not only did my whole visit only take an hour. Dr. Sciarrino has gentle hands and my healing process is going well. Unlike another location I was recommended to prior upon getting my first wisdom tooth removed. I would recommend everyone come see Dr. Sciarrino and his staff. You won’t regret it at all.
