Better Living through Dentistry : Manhattan

Is the tooth worth saving or should you get an implant? . Let’s do both! . A Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) procedure was done on #31 and a dental implant placed on #30 a few months ago. (Surgical pics in previous post)... . Patient came back 4 months later for second stage surgery on implant #30 so I was also able to visualize the healing on #31. Hella good...hella fresh. . . #iloveperio #periodontalsurgery #periodontist #periodontista #perio #dentist #dentista #dentalimplants #dentalimplant #dentistry #nycperiodontist #nycdentist #beforeandafter #manhattan See more

There are many surgical techniques to cover gum recession, but I really enjoy using soft tissue allograft (AlloDerm) @biohorizons especially when covering multiple recessions in one surgical visit. . . #perio #periodontist #periodontalsurgery #periodontia #periodontista #dentistry #dentist #dentista #gumgraft #alloderm #gumrecession #rootcoverage #dentalesthetics #estheticdentistry #beforeandafter #nycperiodontist #manhattan

Second dose and feeling good! . #thankyouvolunteers #sciencerocks #byecovid

I was touched that my patient (who happens to be a pastry chef) took note of my likely, brief non-dental related ramblings in past conversations. . It continues to be a priviledge to serve my patients...and blessed to have the best patients! . .... #thankful #grateful #bestpatients #birthdaycake #dentist #periodontist #nycdentist #nycperiodontist #upperwestside #uws #nyc #betterlivingthroughdentistry See more

This is a combination Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and Dental Implant surgery in one. Deep mesial vertical defect noted on mesial #31 with edentulous ridge on #30. GTR was accomplished using combination of autograft and allograft (@biohorizons ) to fill the periodontal defect and covered with bioguide collagen membrane (@geistlichpharma ).... A dental implant (@zimmerbiometdental ) was then placed on edentulous ridge #30 to resolve 2 separate dental issues, simultaneously. I love it when ever traditional perio can be done alongside dental implant procedures. . . . #guidedtissueregeneration #gtr #growingbone #biology #periodontics #periodontist #periodontista #periodontaldisease #periodontalsurgery #odontologia #dentista #dentist #dentistry #dentalimplants #implants #implantdentistry #implantology #implantologia #betterlivingthroughdentistry
