We encourage you to seek treatment today if you feel you may have a gum disease issue – your oral health directly affects your overall health. Call 718.878.4878 or fill out our contact form so we can get in touch.
Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. Your dentist and dental hygienist will evaluate for periodontal disease and recommend the appropriate treatment.
There are many treatment options including traditional surgery and laser assisted periodontal surgery that the periodontist may choose to perform, depending upon the exact condition of the teeth, gums and jawbone. A complete periodontal exam of the mouth will be done before any treatment is performed or recommended.
Find out how you may be able to heal and rejuvenate your gums with laser-assisted gum therapy.
ForestThe LANAP® laser gum disease treatment is now available at our practice in Forest Hills, NY.

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist – a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!
