About
Madison Avenue Periodontics stands as a premier periodontal practice in New York City, specializing in advanced gum disease treatment and dental implant placement. Located at 501 Madison Avenue on the 22nd Floor, the practice represents a commitment to combining clinical excellence with patient-centered care in one of Manhattan's most prestigious medical addresses.
The practice is led by experienced periodontists including Dr. John Lanzetta, Dr. Neary, Dr. Chondrogiannis, and Dr. Elhein, each bringing specialized expertise in periodontal therapy and implant dentistry. Periodontists are dentists who have completed additional specialized training beyond dental school—typically three additional years of education—to develop expertise in diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the gums, bones, and supporting structures of the teeth. This advanced training distinguishes periodontists from general dentists and positions them as specialists capable of managing complex oral health challenges.
Madison Avenue Periodontics distinguishes itself through a minimally invasive approach to periodontal treatment and dental restoration. This philosophy prioritizes shorter recovery times, fewer incisions, and faster healing—hallmarks of modern, innovative dental care. The practice recognizes that many patients view dental visits with apprehension and has deliberately structured its practice environment and protocols to transform the experience into something pleasant rather than burdensome. The team takes time to explain each procedure thoroughly, answer patient questions comprehensively, and establish relationships based on mutual respect, compassion, and attentiveness to individual patient needs.
The practice offers a comprehensive range of periodontal services designed to address the full spectrum of gum disease and tooth replacement needs. These services include LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) laser periodontal treatment, the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for gum recession, computer-guided implant surgery, and traditional periodontal scaling and root planing. Beyond active treatment, Madison Avenue Periodontics emphasizes the critical importance of ongoing maintenance therapy—a personalized program of care designed to prevent disease recurrence in gum tissues and bone supporting the teeth. The practice provides detailed maintenance visits that include health history updates, tissue examination, pocket depth measurement, oral hygiene assessment and instruction, bacterial plaque and tartar removal, radiographic evaluation, decay screening, bite assessment, and application of therapeutic medications as needed.
The practice's commitment to patient education and informed decision-making extends throughout the treatment journey. During initial consultations, the team conducts in-depth medical and dental health histories and thorough examinations measuring bone loss, assessing loose teeth, evaluating bite, performing oral cancer screening, and evaluating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. This comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures that treatment plans are tailored to each patient's unique circumstances and health status.
Madison Avenue Periodontics utilizes state-of-the-art technology and techniques to deliver superior outcomes. The practice employs computer-guided surgery for precise implant placement, laser-based periodontal treatments for minimally invasive disease management, and advanced diagnostic imaging to evaluate bone structure and tooth support. This technological sophistication, combined with the clinical expertise of the periodontists, enables the practice to address even complex cases with confidence and precision.
The practice accepts new patients and maintains convenient office hours from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The team is particularly attentive to special patient populations, requiring that all patients under 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian during consultation appointments. The practice also requests advance notification of significant medical conditions—such as artificial heart valves or joints, heart murmurs requiring pre-medication, severe diabetes, or hypertension—to ensure appropriate precautions are taken during treatment.
Ultimately, Madison Avenue Periodontics represents a fusion of advanced clinical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and genuine patient care. The practice's mission extends beyond simply providing excellent treatment to encompassing a holistic commitment to patient wellbeing, informed decision-making, and long-term oral health maintenance. For patients seeking specialized periodontal care and dental implant services in New York City, Madison Avenue Periodontics offers the combination of experience, skill, and compassionate care necessary to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
