About
Beyond Dentistry Laser Center, located at 1315 53rd St, Brooklyn, NY 11219, represents a paradigm shift in comprehensive dental care delivery. Founded on the principle that patients deserve expert, multidisciplinary treatment under one roof, the practice embodies over five decades of innovation in dentistry under the leadership of Dr. Simon Kappel.
Dr. Kappel's journey began in 1976 when he graduated from New York University College of Dentistry with a visionary approach that distinguished him from his contemporaries. While most dentists chose to specialize in single disciplines, Dr. Kappel pursued mastery across multiple dental fields, including oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, and restorative dentistry. This comprehensive skill set positioned him as a rare 'super generalist'—a dentist capable of handling complex cases that typically require referrals to multiple specialists.[1][4]
The practice's evolution reflects Dr. Kappel's commitment to staying at the forefront of dental innovation. In 1985, he became an implant pioneer, beginning dental implant procedures when few general dentists offered this service, accumulating nearly 40 years of implant expertise.[1] This early adoption of advanced procedures established the foundation for what would become the practice's signature offering.
The true transformation came with the laser revolution beginning in 2000. Recognizing the potential of cutting-edge laser technology to improve patient outcomes, Dr. Kappel developed his signature one-hour laser dental implant procedure—a minimally invasive approach that has attracted patients from around the world.[1] This innovation exemplifies the practice's philosophy: technology is adopted only when it genuinely improves patient outcomes and comfort, not for its own sake.
Beyond Dentistry Laser Center distinguishes itself through several key differentiators. First, it operates as a true comprehensive care center where patients receive treatment from a single expert dentist who understands their complete clinical picture. Rather than referring complex cases to multiple specialists across different offices—a common practice in dentistry—Dr. Kappel handles advanced oral surgery, complex endodontic treatments, periodontal therapy, crown lengthening, and comprehensive restorative dentistry in-house.[3] This integrated approach eliminates fragmented care, reduces patient inconvenience, and ensures accountability for treatment outcomes.
Second, the practice employs an on-site periodontist who collaborates directly with Dr. Kappel on complex cases, enabling same-day coordinated care without requiring patients to visit multiple locations.[1][3] This collaborative excellence model combines specialized expertise with comprehensive oversight.
Third, Beyond Dentistry Laser Center leverages state-of-the-art technology strategically deployed to enhance patient care. The practice utilizes CBCT 3D imaging for precise treatment planning, digital smile design technology that allows patients to preview results before treatment, laser dentistry for minimally invasive procedures, and premium materials from precision manufacturers.[1] The practice also offers same-day crowns using CAD/CAM technology, mercury-free tooth-colored composite fillings, and advanced diagnostic tools including digital X-rays with 90% less radiation and intraoral cameras.[4]
The practice's service portfolio is remarkably comprehensive. Beyond dental implants and laser dentistry, Beyond Dentistry Laser Center offers LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) services for gum disease treatment, cosmetic dentistry including porcelain veneers and teeth whitening, orthodontics via Invisalign clear aligners, full-mouth rehabilitation, crown and bridge work, preventive care with oral cancer screenings, and fluoride treatments and sealants.[1][3][4] This breadth of services means patients can address virtually any dental need without external referrals.
Dr. Kappel's philosophy, encapsulated in the practice's mission statement, is clear: 'We treat patients, not teeth. Every decision is made with your complete health and well-being in mind.'[3] This patient-centered approach extends to the practice's commitment to quality care that can add 8-10 years to patients' lives through comprehensive oral health management.[3]
The practice has built a reputation for efficiency and boutique-level personalized care. Treatment rooms offer a peaceful and calming atmosphere, procedures are designed to be quick and painless, and there is minimal waiting time.[8] The practice attracts both local patients and international clients seeking its efficient, expert services.[2]
In essence, Beyond Dentistry Laser Center represents the evolution of modern dentistry: a practice where cutting-edge technology, comprehensive expertise, collaborative care, and patient-centered philosophy converge to deliver superior outcomes. By eliminating the need for multiple specialists and referrals, the practice simplifies the patient experience while maintaining the highest standards of clinical excellence.
