Arieta Gouvakis, 38, is accused of stealing the jewelry from at least two patients while they were under sedation at the Long Island Implant and Dentist in Rocky Point, New York on January 31 and February 1.
Police said among the items stolen was a $2,000 gold and pearl necklace and a $3,000 gold and diamond wedding ring.
The patients were under nitrous oxide sedation at the time and didn't realize the jewelry was missing until later.
They later informed the dentist, Dr. Nick Augenbaum, of the missing items and he got police involved.
Police managed to track the stolen jewelry to local pawn shops and were able to recover the items.
Police arrested Gouvakis on Friday and charged her with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
They said her motive may have been to feed a drug habit.
Gouvakis was fired from the dental office soon after the patients reported the stolen jewelry.
