Stop periodontal disease with a gentle and highly effective approach. Dr. Scott Kissel offers patients in Manhattan, New York City LANAP laser treatment conducted with a microscope.
Periodontal disease is a common problem that affects 50 percent of Americans. Good oral hygiene, daily flossing, brushing and visiting the dentist can go a long way in preventing gum disease, which worsens over time and can lead to heart disease, diabetes and low birth weight babies.
Dr. Kissel takes dental implant treatment to another level. Dr. Kissel does everything possible to save natural teeth but if a tooth cannot be saved, he utilizes microsurgery for minimally invasive tooth removal and same-day implants with the renowned SMILE Technique.
Dr. Kissel is one of a few dentists in the world who belongs to a unique microsurgical study club where he continuously improves his skills. Dr. Kissel’s credentials include:

Many periodontists today promote their use of microscopes during surgery. However, true periodontal microsurgery goes far beyond magnification—it requires years of dedicated training and experience. While attending a single course or owning a microscope may appear impressive, it doesn’t compare to the extensive, hands-on education our New York periodontist has received and refined over more than 20 years.
Dr. Kissel’s journey began under the mentorship of Dr. Dennis Shanelec, widely regarded as the pioneer of periodontal microsurgery. As the founder of the MicroSurgical Training Institute (MTI) in Santa Barbara, Dr. Shanelec spent decades developing microsurgical principles, techniques, and instruments. At MTI, he trained intensively in fine motor skills, advanced surgical techniques, and the precise use of microsurgical instruments—skills that cannot be gained from brief courses or self-study.
Our periodontist was also honored to be part of Dentorati, a small, selective study group led by Dr. Shanelec. For over a decade, he gathered regularly to collaborate, refine our skills, and teach other dentists at MTI. This immersive experience shaped his expertise and commitment to delivering truly minimally invasive care.
It’s important to understand that using a microscope alone doesn’t make a procedure microsurgical. Without proper training, it’s simply traditional surgery performed under magnification. True microsurgery requires mastering delicate techniques, applying specialized principles, and achieving precision that minimizes tissue trauma and promotes faster healing
For over two decades, Dr. Kissel has committed his practice to delivering exceptional periodontal care through advanced microsurgical techniques. This level of precision allows him to offer less invasive procedures, reduce recovery times, and achieve superior outcomes for his patients.
