Specialties
At Sapphire Dental Care, Mark Zafir, DDS, and Angela Zampogna, RDH, provide complete oral health care to teens and adults living in and around Oceanside, New York, and throughout Nassau County.
The practice features a warm and friendly atmosphere. The dentist, dental hygienist, and support staff treat every patient as a member of the family and strive to provide a comfortable and spa-like experience. Each exam room has advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment, including laser-aided dental tools, digital X-rays, CT scans, and digital charts.
Sapphire Dental Care specializes in repairing damaged, decaying, and missing teeth. They provide access to same-day emergency dentistry and offer dental implants, veneers, crowns, inlays, and onlays.
Sapphire Dental Care takes patient safety seriously. The practice has invested in high-quality air purifiers and uses advanced cleaning protocols to prevent exposure to COVID-19. To ensure patient comfort, they offer sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
The dentists perform most procedures onsite, including oral surgery, like dental implant placement and root canals. This allows patients to receive the treatment they need without having to visit several different providers.
To accommodate busy schedules, Sapphire Dental Care is open on Sundays, and until 6 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays.
