In addition, Dr. Feigelson received extensive training in anesthesia which led to his becoming New York State Certified in the use of intravenous and oral sedation. The credentialing process was rigid, and Dr. Feigelson is one of a only a few General Dentists in the region with the ability to offer sedation to those of his patients who prefer to be asleep or in a state of total relaxation for their treatment.
Dr. Feigelson attended the year-long Maxi-Course in Oral Implantology where he received training by many of the leaders in the field of Implantology. Dr. Feigelson is currently Associate Clinical Professor, Graduate Program in the Department of Dentistry at the University Medical Center at Stony Brook.
As a highly active member within organized dentistry, Dr. Feigelson is currently the Vice-President of the Suffolk County Dental Society, Delegate for the New York State Dental Association, member of the Peer Review Committee, and the Suffolk County Give Kids a Smile program.
As soon as you enter the office of Dr. Feigelson you will realize that it is like no office you have seen before. With relaxing music, flavored coffee and tea,waterfall, and soothing architectural features, you will find it hard to believe that you are in a dental office at all.
Our office is not just about comfort. We go above and beyond what is required to create a sterile environment. The entire treatment area gets scrubbed down and disinfected before you are brought in. Whatever instruments are not disposed of, get autoclaved and separately wrapped. The surfaces that are in the greatest contact are wrapped with a disposable barrier.
Once the treatment room is scrubbed down with disinfectant, and all high-contact areas are re-wrapped, those instruments that are not disposable get brought to the sterilization room. It is here that the instruments get chemically disinfected in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Then, after mechanically cleaning them further, they get wrapped and sealed in autoclave bags. The sealed instruments then get placed in an autoclave, which is like a special oven that sterilizes the instruments under high temperature and pressure. Once the instruments complete this process, the sealed, sterile instruments do not get opened again until you are seated.
Digital Radiography Allows us to take and immediately view enlarged digital images of your teeth. Besides being exposed to up to 90% less radiation than conventional radiographs, you are also able to view the images on the screen in front of you. This allows us to be better able to educate those of our patients who want to know more about their oral health.
