For referring dentists

We handle the surgical phase. Your patient comes back to you.

Brooklyn Periodontics is a referral-based specialty practice. Dr. Zidile and Dr. Choi handle the gums, bone, and implant placement, then return your patient to you for restorative care with a written summary of exactly what was done.

One short step, under a minute, your contact details, the patient's, and the reason for referral.

What you can count on

Surgical specialty care that stays in your patient loop.

We treat and return

Your patient comes back to you for restorative care. We stay in our lane, gums, bone, and implant placement, and we say so to the patient at the consult.

You hear back the same week

A written consult summary with diagnosis, images, and the proposed sequence, so you can plan the restorative side without chasing us.

Restorative-driven planning

Tell us your prosthetic plan on the referral and we place to it, including guided full-arch cases with 3D planning.

Diagnosis before surgery

A dedicated team of 3 full-time registered hygienists performs Guided Biofilm Therapy with Airflow and live plaque sampling with the Tom Larkin protocol, so many cases are managed non-surgically first and returned to you with a clear maintenance interval.

Emergencies get seen

Acute abscess, failing implant, or a post-op question: call or text the office and we will get you to a doctor and make room.

Who you're referring to

Board-track, NYU-trained, and teaching faculty.
