Scott O Kissel, DMD, PC

The Most Effective Treatment for Periodontal Disease Periodontal disease can result in tooth loss. It affects 50 percent of Americans and it has multiple causes. Topping the list are bacterial plaque and calculus (deposits). Dr. Kissel has been using a powerful microscope and LANAP laser surgery for targeting bacteria more effectively, and Piezo surgery as an alternative to a traditional dental drill for scaling and root planing. This technology allows for minimally invasive... tissue management. With the significant increase in vision with the microscope, he can now see the plaque and calculus he would have left behind using traditional techniques. This has resulted in a much greater percentage of sites returning completely to health. He has even seen this occur at sites that display severe periodontal disease. This new and exciting application for the microscope will lead to a significant reduction in surgery. If you are concerned that you may have periodontal disease, the best thing you can do is call Dr. Kissel’s periodontic office in New York City to schedule an examination today.

THE SMILE TECHNIQUE: ADVANCED DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE The pinnacle of Dental Implant Microsurgery today is the SMILE Technique. The SMILE Technique or Simplified Microsurgical Implant Lifelike Esthetics (SMILE) is an advanced implant treatment performed by Dr. Kissel at his New York Periodontics and Implant Dentistry Clinic. This technique is the next step in the evolution of dental implants. It involves surgical removal of the tooth, immediate placement of the dental implan...t and a custom provisional crown. This, of course, can only be achieved through the use of advanced dental implant microsurgical procedures. Take the first step toward a brighter smile in your future. Contact our office in the New York City area for a SMILE Technique consultation with expert Dr. Scott Kissel at 212-702-9088 or contact us online and schedule your consultation today!

QUALITY DENTAL IMPLANTS THAT LAST THE TEST OF TIME Dr. Kissel has always believed in performing quality dental implant treatments that last a lifetime. Read what a patient from the distant past has to say about Dr. Kissel today: Hello, I was a patient of Dr. Kissel's 16-years ago - he performed an implant of a front tooth. I'm no longer in New York - I moved to Singapore 10-years ago and for the past 7-years have been living in Vietnam -- but I wanted to say that the implant ...has prompted raves from the dentists I've seen since moving to this part of the world. Just this morning, my French dentist here in Saigon looked at an x-ray and remarked that it was one of the best she's ever seen. Whatever issue I had with my teeth that prompted my visit this morning had nothing to do with the implant (or the original crown made by Dr. Tom Magnani's office), and it is still going strong. Thank you, Dr. Kissel, for the amazing work you did back in 2005 and that I'm sure you're continuing to do today. Regards, Joel W. If you’re ready to replace your smile with natural-looking, functional dental implants, then call Dr. Scott Kissel for a consultation at (212) 702-9088 or contact us online (https://implant-periodontist-nyc.com/book-consultation). #crownlengthening #periodontics #periodontist #periodontaldisease #periodontaltreatment #LANAP #DentalImplants #microsurgery #drkissel #perioscope #periodontics #nycperiodontist #TeethImplant

DR. KISSEL’S UNIQUE MICROSURGERY APPROACH TO DENTAL IMPLANTS In New York City, Dr. Kissel’s unique microsurgery approach to dental implants makes the surgery and recovery time easier and faster. The use of microsurgery techniques, which are performed under a microscope and by using micro-instruments, allows Dr. Kissel to make smaller incisions without stitches compared to the larger, more painful incisions of traditional dental implant surgery. Because Dr. Kissel uses micros...urgery techniques, he can operate without causing major incisions and trauma to sensitive tissue, muscles, and nerves. The result is a more comfortable procedure and a faster recovery time. Additionally, because Dr. Kissel only makes small incisions with micro-instruments, your surrounding gum tissue will appear normal after surgery. If you’re ready to replace your smile with natural-looking, functional dental implants, then call Dr. Scott Kissel for a consultation at (212) 702-9088 or contact us online (https://implant-periodontist-nyc.com/book-consultation). #crownlengthening #periodontics #periodontist #periodontaldisease #periodontaltreatment #LANAP #DentalImplants #microsurgery #drkissel #perioscope #periodontics #nycperiodontist #TeethImplant See more

CROWN LENGTHENING USING MICROSURGERY Crown lengthening is a cosmetic periodontal surgery that is performed to give you a more beautiful, less gummy smile. It’s also performed so that a short tooth that is chipped or broken can better support a filling or crown. Cosmetic periodontal surgery patients choose periodontist, Dr. Kissel, for crown lengthening because he is known for using microsurgery techniques, which reduce the risk of damage to your tooth root and jawbone, prov...ide for a more precise, accurate procedure and make your recovery time faster.

HOW TO BEST PROTECT YOUR DENTAL IMPLANTS #DrScottOKissel has always advised his New York patients to ensure that they protect their #dentalimplants by adhering to the following: Brush their teeth twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and low-abrasive toothpaste;... Brush under and around the implant crown; To properly clean hard-to-reach teeth, use a nylon coated interdental brush; Floss every day with unwaxed tape or implant-specific floss prior to brushing; It is recommended to use a Waterpik or oral irrigator to remove as much plaque and food debris as possible; Come in for bi-annual checkups, even if they have a full mouth of dental implants; and Visit Dr. Kissel at the first sign of infection around your dental implants, no matter how long it was since you had them placed. If you have dental implants or are considering having dental implants installed, call Dr. Kissel at (212) 702-9088 or contact him online (www.implant-periodontist-nyc.com/book-consultation) to book your consultation and find more about the proper maintenance of dental implants and if they are the right option for you.

PERFORMING THE PINHOLE TECHNIQUE WITH A SURGICAL MICROSCOPE #DrScottKissel is the only #periodontist that combines the use of a #SurgicalMicroscope while performing the #PinholeTechnique. The surgical microscope control eliminates the need for invasive techniques that can cause pain and significant downtime. The pinhole technique is used to treat #GumTissueRecession. Unlike traditional procedures, which take gum tissue from the palate or another donor site, the pinhole techni...que simply pulls down the gum tissue bordering your tooth, using collagen strips to restore your natural gum line. Over time, the body will absorb the collagen strips resulting in the desired goal of the procedure. The pinhole technique is relatively painless and results in your desired goals. Depending on the patient’s situation, Dr. Kissel often utilizes the pinhole technique because it has advantages over traditional techniques. This cosmetic enhancement gives patients a better overall result that allows them to heal much faster than a traditional gum graft. If you have #RecedingGums, call Dr. Kissel’s office at 212-702-9088 or book online (www.implant-periodontist-nyc.com/book-consultation) to learn more about the pinhole technique and other procedures that can help you.

SCALING AND ROOT PLANING BY NYC PERIODONTIST DR. SCOTT KISSEL One of the most effective ways to treat and prevent #gumdisease when #plaque progresses between gums and teeth is #ScalingandRootPlaning. The scaling procedure enables #DrKissel to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline.

If you’ve been told you need root planing and scaling, or deep cleaning, then the best thing you can do is call his office at (212) 702-9088 or contact him online (www.implant-periodontist-nyc.com/book-consultation/) to make an appointment or book online

This may present itself as: Facial Muscle Tenderness (which can extend to the neck or shoulders)... Joint clicking or locking Loose teeth Migraine Headaches TMJ pain aka temporomandibular joint pain Tooth pain Occlusal therapy involving bite analysis, possible splint therapy, and occlusal adjustments can improve these problems and symptoms and often provide a complete solution.
