Dr. Mark Roisman has been practicing in his Westport, CT office since 1995. After graduating McGill University in Montreal with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 1982, Dr. Roisman went on to study dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia. He received his DMD degree from Penn in 1986, and followed up his training with a yearlong General Practice Residency in Queens, New York. From 1987 through 1995, Dr. Roisman was in private practice in Queens and Brooklyn, NY until he established his Westport practice in March of 1995.
Dr. Roisman prides himself on using the latest cutting edge technologies to provide the ultimate in dental care for his patients. He was one of the first dentists in Fairfield County and Connecticut to provide digital radiography (Schick CDR) to his patients, and one of the first and only dentists in Connecticut using the Itero Digital Impression Scanner for crown and bridge restorations.
When asked, Dr. Roisman describes his top priority in patient care as being the ability to combine excellent treatment with unsurpassed comfort and efficiency. It is unusual for any patient to be seated later than their appointed time, and in most cases they are finished in less time than that for which they were scheduled. The most common and cherished comment heard in the office following treatment is, that was much, much easier than I thought it was going to be.
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Gum disease has two primary stages. If diagnosed and treated in the first stage, the condition can be reversed and tooth loss can usually be prevented. In order to prevent gum disease,practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for cleanings and check-ups twice a year.
This stage only affects the soft tissue of the gums, and the patient may not experience any discomfort. Although the symptoms may be very mild, it is important to diagnose gum disease in this early stage before it progresses to periodontitis.
Periodontitis is the name for more advanced periodontal disease and if permitted to progress to this point, not only the gums are affected but the bone structures supporting the teeth will be compromised.
A build-up of bacteria causes Gingivitis. In its early stages, inflammation around the gums is observable, with gum tissues appearing red and swollen. Gums that are easily irritated or that bleed during tooth brushing indicate the presence of Gingivitis. Removal of the plaque buildup is necessary to prevent the development of gum disease.
As the gums become more inflamed, they start to pull away from the teeth, forming spaces known as periodontal pockets. Food, bacteria, and plaque begin to collect in the pockets, leading to infection. The surrounding bone becomes damaged both by bacterial toxins and by the immune systemsresponse to infection.

Dr Roisman and his staff were very accommodating for an emergency visit for out of town visitor. We got an appointment very quickly and Dr Roisman provided a sound treatment plan. The visit provided peace of mind for the visitors remaining stay. Highly recommend Dr Roisman and his team for all dental care. He was honest and upfront and fully explained all options.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Roisman for over 15 years. Regardless of the presenting concern, he is patient, caring and thoughtful, and his bedside manner is wonderful. Dr. Roisman is, above all, highly ethical, never recommends treatment that is not absolutely necessary. His referrals to specialists are always top-notch. We highly recommend him.

I am full of gratitude and admiration for Dr. Roisman. An old root canal acted up over the weekend and I was dealing with unbearable pain. I reached out to my regular dentist and shared my experience of an entire night without any sleep, overcame by intolerable pain. He informed me that his office would open on Monday and I should call then to make an appointment, and in the meantime, if the pain was unbearable I could go to the ER for pain medication. I can't describe the disappointment. BUT let me focus on the positive - I landed on the hands of Dr. Roisman who came to see me on a Sunday morning and provided me with the medical care that I needed. His compassion, care and professionalism are admirable and give me the comfort that my family and I have found an excellent Dr we can trust to care for us from now on. Thank you Dr Roisman!

Dr. Roisman is the kind of dentist that will make you feel like you're his only patient. During my most recent appointment he meticulously crowned one of my molars, engineering it to give me better occlusion. He is dedicated to the best possible outcome for his patients. He is also a genuine and kind person, and his staff is friendly and professional.

I grew up going to an Uncle who was a dentist and no other experience ever came close - I am a tooth nut. I have searched far and wide across NYC and CT for a great dentist and Dr. Roisman's practice is a breath of fresh air. Amazing dentists, up on the latest technology, I never wait, he is always available via text for emergencies, etc. and has squeezed me in last minute more times than I can count for random dental needs. My whole family goes to him now and we hope to for a very long time.

Our family's dental health needs have been cared for by Dr. Roisman and his team for over 15 years. His ability to listen and communicate concerning our dental needs and the solutions available today is really valued and trusted. Couldn't recommend his team more strongly.

I have been a patient with Dr. Roisman for over 20 years. I am very happy with the care that I've received. He ensures that the work that needs to be done is done but doesn't push for anything unnecessary. When I have needed more extensive work, he has taken great care to not only technically care for me but also has taken the time to make sure it looks right too (especially when talking about a front tooth.). He stays current with new technology and works seamlessly with oral surgeons when needed. I wish I didn't need the work I do but I feel I have a good partner in helping me get the best care for my teeth.

Great dentist for both cleanings and procedures. Dr. Roisman is nice, respected me as a patient. I had a few procedures today and they were handled efficiently with appropriate safety precautions. Highly recommend.

After a lifetime with the same dentist in NYC, I was nervous about my initial appointment with Dr. Roisman, as my family and I moved to Westport last year, but I am grateful I made the decision to change dental practices. Dr. Roisman is thorough, informative and patient. I feel like I learned more about my teeth in my first two visits with him than I did in all the years with my former dentist! The staff is also friendly and kind!

I've been a patient of Dr. Roisman's since before I can remember. I'm 23 now and can confidently say that he has made me love my smile! As someone born without the roots of two of my top front teeth, a lot of work has needed to be done and I couldn't be happier Dr. Roisman was the one to do it. He won't stop a job until it is absolutely perfect, he's patient, calm, reliable and trustworthy.
