A Periodontist is a specialized dental professional focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease, gum recession and placing dental implants. I have been in practice in Greenwich for 26 years and I have dedicated myself to advancing the field through cutting-edge technology and innovative techniques to improve patient outcomes.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. Over the years, I have continually updated my practice with the latest advancements to enhance precision and success rates. One such advancement is the X-Guide implant navigation system, a state-of- the-art technology that offers real-time 3D navigation during implant procedures. The X-Guide provides me with a dynamic surgical roadmap, enabling precise implant placement that aligns perfectly with the patient’s anatomy. This technology improves accuracy, reduces surgery time, and promotes quicker recovery.

Palate-Free Root Coverage
In addition to placing dental implants, my practice employs the most innovative technique in periodontal therapy: palate-free gingival grafting for root coverage. Traditional gum grafting often involves harvesting tissue from the patient’s palate, which can be uncomfortable and involves a longer recovery period. The palate-free method utilizes alternative donor sites or biomaterials, minimizing patient discomfort and promoting faster healing. This technique benefits patients experiencing gum recession, offering them a less invasive option with excellent cosmetic results.

Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser therapy is another cornerstone of my periodontal practice. Utilizing lasers in periodontal treatment has revolutionized the treatment of bone loss, periodontal disease, and peri-implantitis (bone-loss around dental implants). Laser-assisted periodontal therapy targets diseased tissue and bacteria, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue and bone. The minimally invasive nature of laser treatment means less pain and swelling for patients and shorter recovery times. For patients suffering from peri-implantitis, lasers provide a highly effective, targeted approach to managing the condition and preserving the longevity of their dental implants.

My practice is not just about utilizing the latest technology; it’s about ensuring each patient receives personalized, comprehensive care. This involves a thorough initial examination, detailed treatment planning, and continuous follow-up to monitor progress and address concerns. Educating patients on the importance of oral hygiene and periodontal maintenance is also a key aspect of my practice, as prevention plays a crucial role in long-term oral health.

With over two decades of experience in periodontics, I have seen firsthand the positive impact that advanced technology and innovative techniques can have on patient care. My commitment to staying at the forefront of periodontal advancements ensures that my patients receive the highest standard of care. Whether through the precision of the X-Guide system for implant placement, the comfort of palate-free gingival grafting, or the efficacy of laser treatments, my goal is to provide optimal outcomes and enhance the overall patient experience.
