I love making people smile! When the braces come off, its not only a great day for my patients, its a great day for me! It is an unbelievable experience to watch a patient transform right in front of your eyes. Many times, I see children who are shy and embarrassed by their smile, and through our treatment, I have witnessed a dramatic change in their personality and self-image. Their confidence soars and their shyness melts away. Its extremely rewarding to help my patients reach their fullest potential through the power of orthodontics. Dr. Ciccone

In addition to being excellentsoccer players, the oldest is thinking of becoming an orthodontist like her dad when she grows up, and the youngest is a natural-born veterinarian. Bruiser, the familys venerable Boston Terrier, is quite content to sleep all day and night, and when he finds time, he plays with the girls until he is exhausted.

During that time, we have been proud to have earned the trust and loyalty of families and dental professionals in the region.
We have been actively involved in sending donations to our overseas troops in Iran and Afghanistan for the past 14 years. Our office was one of the first orthodontic offices on Long Island to implement the Annual Halloween Candy Buy-Back program, in which we collected all the candy from children in the surrounding neighborhoods and paid them for it. In turn, we donated all the candy to our troops overseas, and made matching donations in the amount of money paid to the children to local charities.

I came to Dr. Ciconne's office for a retainer and then decided to go back to do Invisalign. It was super quick and great results! Coming to this office, Dr. Ciconne is awesome! & The girls are the sweetest. You're treated like family when you go there. Any concerns, the doctor is always attentive and takes time to listen and explain. Anything needed, questions are answered. They are the best!! Highly recommend! Thank you, Ciccone Orthodontics!

A big fan of Dr Ciccone and his team. The front desk always has a smile on their face and very helpful. Dr Ciccone is so easy going with my daughter. She never complains going there. We never feel rushed and always asks if we have any questions or concerns.
