Downtown Brooklyn · Since 2008
Bleeding gums, a receding smile, or a tooth you've been told you'll lose, these problems get worse quietly. Dr. Zidile and Dr. Choi are specialists in gum disease and dental implants, and they'll show you exactly what's happening before you decide anything.
If you've been putting this off for a while, you're not the first. No lectures here, just a clear look at where things stand and what it would take to fix it.
Takes about two minutes. No obligation, and you'll hear back from our office, not a call center. The same number takes texts, message us and the office will reply.

Referral-based
Most patients arrive on a dentist's recommendation
Were you referred here by your dentist?
Your dentist sent you to us for the surgical part of your care. We handle the gums, bone, and implants, then send you back to your own dentist for crowns and fillings. One text with your name is enough to start, and the office will call you back to find a time.
What we treat
Stopping active gum and implant infection with the least invasive treatment that works, so you keep your natural teeth, your implants, and the bone that supports them.
Rebuilding what disease, injury, or missing teeth took away, bone, gum tissue, and complete arches.
Refining the frame of your smile, gum proportions, lip position, and restrictive tissue, with the least invasive technique that works.
Non-surgical first
We are surgeons, which is exactly why we are careful about when surgery is the right answer. Gum disease is treated non-surgically first, then re-measured. Surgery is what we do when those numbers do not improve.
How non-surgical treatment works
Peri-implantitis
Saving implants is one of the reasons dentists and other specialists send cases to us, including implants they placed themselves. We treat implants placed at any office, and treatment starts without surgery.
Peri-implantitis treatment
If it waits
If it's treated
The first visit is a diagnosis, not a commitment. You'll see the measurements and the options before you decide anything.
Your first visit
Most people put off periodontal care because they don't know what it will involve. Here is exactly how it goes.
01
Two minutes on the appointment form, your concern, your insurance plan if you have one, when you're free. We are out of network with all plans, and our team will check your out-of-network benefits before you come in. No phone tag required.
02
A full periodontal exam with in-office 3D imaging so the diagnosis is measured, not guessed. Most consultations run about an hour.
03
We walk through the images with you, explain the least invasive option that will actually last, and give you the fee and your estimated out-of-pocket in writing.
04
Nothing is booked until you say yes. After treatment you get written recovery instructions and a direct line to the doctor on call.
Still deciding
A short guide to what a periodontal consult involves, what we look at, how treatment is sequenced, and what it costs. No form, no email required.

I am so thankful that my dentist recommended Brooklyn Periodontics! Dr. Zidile, Dr. Choi and all of their staff are exceptional. I usually suffer from anxiety when I need to have oral surgery, but not here.
Very professionally run practice that is rarely seen elsewhere. Excellent staff. Dr. Zidile excels in every possible way, with deep knowledge of his craft and great skill practicing it.
Dr. Zidile is amazing, so very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I traveled two and a half hours to be treated by him. So worth it! Office staff is so professional and friendly.
