Dr Hasday opened his original office in Rockville Centre in June, 1990 with a staff of one. In January, 2003 he moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility. He has grown his practice to include an associate periodontist, Amandeep Kaur and a staff of thirteen. Five members of his staff have been with the office for over fifteen years. From the onset, our mission is to provide excellence in comprehensive periodontal and implant dentistry in a safe, sterile and comforting environment.
 STERILIZATION:
We follow all ADA, CDC and OSHA guidelines for infection control. We steam sterilize all instruments and hand pieces. We monitor each item in the autoclave and we regularly check that the autoclave is working properly with a spore test that is sent to an independent laboratory. Our goal is to continuously modernize our facility as we take advantage of emerging technologies.
- NEW TECHNOLOGIES:
- Computerized Digital Radiography (CDR):
We have been utilizing CDR since 1998. CDR differs from regular x-rays because the image is taken off a computer sensor and not an x-ray film. The sensor then digitizes the image and it is instantly available for viewing on a computer monitor. There are no caustic chemicals or x-ray waste to pollute our environment and the patient benefits because they are exposed to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. These images are also simple and inexpensive to duplicate.
-
Computerized Digital Panorex:
We have expanded our imaging capabilities to include a digital panorex. This allows the entire mouth to be visualized in one panoramic image. The patient is exposed to less radiation than from traditional x-rays and the process can be less invasive because the sensor is not inserted into the mouth. The images give a holistic view of the dentition but do not entirely replace conventional dental intraoral x-rays. The Panorex is a tremendous asset for use in implant dentistry and dental diagnostics.

 Intraoral Videography:
Our office has used intraoral imaging since 1991 to aid in patient education and insurance documentation. Intraoral imaging is simply a video picture of the inside of the mouth. The patient can actually see what is going on in their mouth on a television screen.

Bone Grafting and Bio-Engineering:
In many cases we can replace lost periodontal supporting tissue using bone growth factors which are gradually becoming commercially available. We have also acquired a Harvest machine which offers us the ability to use a patient’s own blood to aid in this process. During some surgical procedures a patient’s blood is spun down in a centrifuge to obtain a concentrated solution of platelets (platelet rich plasma or PRP). This PRP when mixed with different tissue provides proteins which stimulate angiogenesis (new blood supply) and osteogenesis (new bone growth) in tissue and bone grafts.
-
Lasers:
Dr. Hasday has extensively researched and experimented with lasers in periodontal therapy. He is constantly updating his education to keep abreast of current advances. To that end he has added a WaterLase MD to our practice. Waterlase Dentistry uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures – without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with the dental drill. With many procedures, it’s possible to use less anesthetic, and often no anesthetic at all. Ask us how we can incorporate the laser into your dental care. Our patient's experiences have been wonderful.
- Flat Screens:
LCD monitors are present in all treatment rooms. These are available for patients to watch satellite television and for use as computer monitors. We also use them to view the inside of your mouth on our intraoral video camera and to view computer generated x-rays.
Internet connections:
We have a multi-workstation computer network with high speed internet access and a router to allow internet connections at all dental units and workstations.
Electronic Claims:
Our office submits most of our insurance claims electronically. The processing time for claims has been reduced in some cases by 6 to 8 weeks.

-
Computerized Charting:
We now enter data into the computer at the chairside to allow easier communication with insurance companies. We can attach computerized charting to electronically produced insurance claims and get quicker answers from your insurance company. Electronic record keeping also is more accurate.

 Reception Room:
Our reception area includes plenty of reading material, a plasma screen television and gas fireplace to make your brief wait even more comfortable.
Are You New to Our Practice?
Great! We welcome all new patients. As a new patient, you may complete and print your patient information form from this website. Please fill it out and bring it with you to your first visit. The information is necessary so that we may provide you with the best dental care possible. Generally, your first appointment will be for an examination only. Please try to obtain any x-rays from your dentist prior to your appointment. These will assist the doctor in determining your diagnosis. If necessary, we will take supplemental x-rays. If you cannot get your x-rays from your dentist, don't worry, we can do the examination and get them at a later date. In the case that your needs are more of an emergency, please let us know and we will make every effort to see you as quickly as possible.
Do you have any questions?
Please feel free to call the office so we can address any of your quesitons or concerns. You may ask to speak with Dr. Hasday personally. In our pursuit of dental excellence, it is our goal to take the time to carefully address your concerns.
