Periodontics & Implant Dentistry with Dr. Nicholas Arroyo
Dr. Nicholas Arroyo is a periodontist: the specialist for the gums and the bone that support the teeth, and for placing dental implants in them. His training at the University of California, San Francisco, where he also earned a Master of Science in Craniofacial Sciences, focused on exactly the procedures he provides at ToothDocs: implant placement, implant site development (the bone grafting that prepares a jaw for an implant), complex tooth extractions, treatment of gingival recession with soft tissue grafting, crown lengthening, and the management of advanced periodontal disease.
Dr. Arroyo's approach starts with making sure the patient understands what is happening in their own mouth. Gum disease is usually painless until it is advanced, so he explains what the measurements mean, what the X-rays show, and what happens if nothing is done, before talking about treatment. Where a non-surgical option such as scaling and root planing will do the job, that is what he recommends. Where surgery is needed, he plans it so the surgical step and the restoration that follows fit together.
Born and raised in the Bronx and a Columbia dental graduate, Dr. Arroyo sees patients at both the New York office at Rockefeller Center and the Roslyn office. He is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology and keeps his techniques current with the research.
