Dentistry and Orthodontics From People Who Care

About Maccaro Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry

More than 40 years ago, pediatric dentist Dr. Henry Maccaro opened his pediatric dental office and began caring for families in Garden City and throughout Long Island. His son, orthodontist Dr. Justin Maccaro, joined the team in November 2015, expanding the office to include orthodontic care. Today, Maccaro Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry provides pediatric dental care for children and orthodontic care for patients of all ages.

Maccaro Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry’s Patient-First Care

We believe exceptional care begins with trust. From a child’s earliest dental visits to orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages, our goal is to help every patient feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. For our younger dental patients, this means creating positive experiences around dental health and helping families establish healthy habits early. For our orthodontic patients of all ages, it means developing thoughtful treatment plans while keeping patients and parents informed throughout the process.

Across both sides of our practice, we prioritize transparency and communication. We take the time to explain our recommendations, answer questions, listen to concerns, and make sure families understand what to expect, including the financial process. We want you to feel confident in your care without ever feeling pressured into making a rushed decision about your care. Above all, we choose quality over quantity. Our smaller, long-standing team allows us to develop lasting relationships with the families we serve and provide the personal attention each patient deserves.

A Practice You Can Trust

Advanced Technology To Keep Kids Comfortable

We know that going to the dentist or orthodontist is thought to be a scary experience for many kids. At the same time, creating a healthy relationship with dental care at a young age can be the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. At Maccaro Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we used advanced technology and modern appliances to ensure coming to us is an experience worth smiling about!

Our technology includes injection-free numbing techniques like single-tooth anesthesia, gentle nitrous oxide (laughing gas) therapy for relaxation, an iTero scanner for comfortable scans, and behavior guidance techniques for especially anxious or sensory-sensitive children. If you’d like to learn more about accommodations for yourself or your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
