About
NY Periodontics and Dental Implants, located in Midtown Manhattan, represents a premier destination for advanced periodontal care and dental implant services in New York City. The practice is led by four highly accomplished periodontists: Dr. David Weinstein, Dr. Stuart J. Froum, Dr. Clifford S. Melnick, and Dr. Allison Rascon, DDS, MS, each bringing decades of specialized expertise to patient care.
The practice's foundation rests on a philosophy of treating each patient as an individual with unique needs and concerns. Dr. David Weinstein, who has specialized in periodontics and dental implant placement for over 20 years, received his doctorate in Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and completed a general practice residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He earned his certificate to specialize in Periodontics from Columbia University, where he later served as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Weinstein's father, Dr. Ephraim Weinstein, brings additional expertise, and together they have accumulated over 60 years of combined experience in periodontics and dental implants.
Dr. Stuart J. Froum stands as one of the leading authorities in gum health, periodontal disease treatment, and implantology. A graduate of New York University College of Dentistry, Dr. Froum received his Certificate in Periodontics from the Manhattan VA Hospital in 1973 and has been a specialist in periodontics and implant dentistry for 50 years. He is an Adjunct Clinical Professor and Director of Clinical Research at NYU College of Dentistry and is board-certified in Periodontics. Dr. Froum has earned national and international recognition for his skill in diagnosing and managing complex dental issues, particularly in saving and restoring dental implants. He is the author and editor of 'Dental Implant Complications,' a comprehensive two-volume resource that has been translated into 14 languages and is used in dental schools worldwide. Additionally, Dr. Froum has contributed chapters to five textbooks and authored over 200 peer-reviewed articles in dental journals, serving as a reviewer for two prestigious dental publications.
Dr. Clifford Melnick brings over 35 years of experience in periodontics and implant dentistry. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1982, he completed his residency training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and received post-graduate training in Periodontology at Columbia University in 1985.
The practice distinguishes itself through its commitment to utilizing the latest diagnostic techniques and state-of-the-art procedures. These include LANAP laser gum surgery, tunnel gum grafting, and ceramic, non-metal dental implants. The team's approach is characterized as conservative, meticulous, and patient-oriented, with a philosophy that every patient is part of the family and every tooth is important.
NY Periodontics has successfully treated thousands of patients and has earned a reputation for handling cases that other clinicians have deemed hopeless. The practice's expertise spans multiple specialized areas, including periodontal disease treatment, dental implant placement and restoration, implant complications and salvage, halitosis treatment, and cosmetic periodontics such as gum reshaping and teeth whitening. The team regularly communicates with referring dentists in both the planning and post-treatment phases of care, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes and follow-up to maintain patients' oral health.
Beyond clinical excellence, the practice is deeply committed to education and research. The doctors actively shape the next generation of dental professionals through their academic affiliations and involvement in clinical research. The practice also demonstrates a commitment to philanthropy and community service, with Dr. Weinstein serving as a Director for the Board of Dental Volunteers for Israel.
Patients consistently praise the practice for its expertise, patient care, and successful outcomes. The practice has become the provider of choice for both general dentists and specialists seeking to ensure the best case outcomes for their patients. With offices in both New Jersey and New York, NY Periodontics and Dental Implants represents a comprehensive solution for complex periodontal and implant cases, backed by decades of combined expertise and a commitment to excellence.
