Periodontics in Brooklyn, NY

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the gums, bone, and supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions and, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and systemic health complications. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, periodontal care is led by a specialist whose training and experience are dedicated entirely to protecting and restoring the foundation that holds your teeth in place.

Dr. Geoffrey Rubinshtein is a board-certified periodontist who completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Post Graduate Program in Periodontics at NYU. His approach to periodontal care is thorough, compassionate, and highly individualized. Whether a patient requires routine scaling and root planing to address early gum disease or more advanced surgical intervention such as pocket reduction surgery or gum grafting, Dr. Geoffrey develops a treatment plan tailored to the severity of the condition and the patient's long-term goals.

Beyond treating active disease, the periodontics program at Bensonhurst Dental Care includes ongoing periodontal maintenance to keep gum disease from recurring after treatment. For patients experiencing gum infections, bone loss, or recession, Dr. Geoffrey offers a full range of regenerative and corrective procedures including bone grafting, ridge preservation, and crown lengthening, all performed in-house with the precision and care that complex periodontal cases demand.

Dr. Geoffrey also plays a central role in the practice's implant dentistry program. As a periodontist, he manages the surgical foundation that implants depend on, including implant placement, implant exposure surgery, and implant maintenance. His dual expertise in soft tissue, bone, and implant surgery ensures that patients receive seamlessly coordinated care from the health of the gums to the placement and long-term success of their implants.
