Perio NYC: Edward Gottesman DDS

I’ve had 2 gum grafts performed by Dr. Gottesman. An upper about 3 years ago and more recently one on my lower gums. I could not be happier with both results. My gums are healthy and look amazing. Dr. Gottesman is an extremely gifted periodontist and I was so fortunate to fall into his capable hands. Thank you Dr. G. His office staff are also top notch - very competent and pleasant to deal with.

I’ve seen Dr Gottesman regarding recession on my lower front teeth. I had this recession for a long time following my orthodontic treatment and had seen numerous periodontists since. I knew I had to have a gum graft but because my situation was extreme I wanted to find a very good and experienced periodontist. Dr Gottesman was recommended to me by my dentist in Brooklyn, whom I trust. I had a very positive impression after my first visit for consultation. Dr Gottesman was optimistic about the treatment and gave me very detailed explanations. I could feel that he really cares about his patients and I liked his personality. I had my gum graft procedure 2 weeks ago and it went very smoothly. I was very scared at first because I’m prone to fainting after long or painful procedures, but on the other hand, this situation with my gums remained untreated for years so I decided to go ahead. I’m very glad I made this decision. Dr Gottesman was sympathetic when I told him about my fear and put me at ease. I felt that I could trust him. The procedure was over within 2 hours and I didn’t feel any pain and hardly any discomfort. I received my post op instructions and followed them during 2 weeks of recovery. I didn’t feel any pain afterwards except a natural discomfort due to swelling, but it passed after 3 days. The healing took less time then I expected because after 1 week I felt completely fine. The results are amazing! My gum level went back to normal and the gums are thicker as well to prevent the recession. I wish I found Dr Gottesman sooner and I highly recommend him to anyone with similar health issues. Don’t hesitate if you are scared of procedure like I was, you will be in good hands!

I have been treated by Dr. Gottesman for several extractions and implants over the past four years. Last month I came to his office, in great pain, with two cracked, abscessed teeth. He quickly assessed my condition, extracted the teeth, cleaned out the deep infection and grafted the area of bone loss. The procedure was done with minimal discomfort! As usual Dr. Gottesman's operating technique and hand skills were exceptional. The pain was gone and the recovery was swift. The treatment room faces a serene garden, which combines with his soothing, relaxing, and confident manner to create a zen like atmosphere. I truly believe Dr. Gottesman is the absolute best periodontist practicing today.
