Today, you are likely able to have dental implant treatment at your neighborhood dentist. However, the success rate of dental implants can vary depending on the experience and implant technique used by your implant specialist. The quality of your implant system is also important in determining the success of your implants. For over 25 years, Dr. Kissel has been placing the highest-quality dental implants using microsurgery techniques to replace missing teeth for his patients at his Madison Avenue periodontal office in Manhattan, New York City.
You can’t tell with your naked eye if you need endosteal or subperiosteal dental implants, or if you are a candidate for dental implants at all. Only a full oral examination with an experienced periodontist can determine this. The examination will likely include X-rays and may also include an oral CT scan. Together, these tests and oral examinations will reveal whether or not:
When you have missing teeth, eating and digesting your food can be challenging. What’s more, if the missing teeth are visible, you may feel embarrassed to talk, laugh or smile. Consequently, many New York City residents with missing teeth try to find a tooth replacement solution – the most common being dental bridges or dentures. However, these popular teeth replacements, often shift or even fall out and may need frequent refitting. This can affect your quality of life.
Dental implants, on the other hand, are part of your jaw just like the roots of your natural teeth. They act and can be treated just like your natural teeth. Recent research has estimated a success rate of 97% after a 10-year period. Dental implant procedures offered by Manhattan periodontist, Dr. Kissel, can be the best way to reclaim your beautiful smile and the full functionality of your teeth. He uses microsurgery to perform many dental implant procedures making the surgery and recovery time period easier and faster for you.
Over the last two decades, dental implants have become increasingly popular for the replacement of missing, severely decayed, or diseased teeth. In fact, according to recent iData Research, about 3 million people in the U.S. replace their missing teeth with dental implants each year. The popularity may be attributed to these simple facts:
There are a number of benefits that patients considering dental implants should know, including:
Function like natural teeth, and you won’t notice any differences when eating your favorite foods.
Covered with natural-looking tooth crowns.
Can stimulate bone growth.
No need to have adjacent teeth drilled down to fit in crowns to support dental bridges.
Properly installed and cared-for implants can last a lifetime!
Made from titanium, a biocompatible material, dental implants are a safe solution for your body that integrates well with your gum and bone tissue.
Can be brushed and flossed just like your natural teeth.
Because of their natural appearance and functionality, dental implants look real and won’t move or slide when you speak, smile, or eat.
Dr. Kissel takes dental implants one step further with microsurgery techniques that make the surgery and recovery time easier and faster. Microsurgery techniques allow Dr. Kissel to make smaller incisions without stitches, which is less painful than traditional dental implant surgery. Microsurgery also significantly reduces the risk of complications since the better one can see, the more knowledge one acquires resulting in careful manipulation of tissues and critical anatomy.
Because Dr. Kissel uses microsurgery 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, as shown in the photos below.

Dr. Kissel uses advanced microsurgery techniques to make the surgery and recovery time faster, easier, and more comfortable for his patients. When you come to Dr. Kissel’s office for dental implant surgery, he will often perform the procedure under a microscope, using micro-instruments. Doing so allows him to make smaller incisions and avoid using stitches – all of which results in a smoother surgery and recovery for you.
Because you’ll be having microsurgery performed at Dr. Kissel’s office, your dental implant incisions will be smaller and will avoid cutting into sensitive tissues, muscles, and nerves. Your incisions won’t require stitches, and your surrounding gums will remain unaffected, leaving you with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance after your dental implant microsurgery.
