Most patients will not want a periodontist who immediately suggests asurgical intervention for gum disease. Dr. Gottesman always starts with the most conservative non-surgical treatmentthat is appropriate for the patients case. We will only move to more invasive interventions if those initial efforts are not successful. Keep in mind that in some severe or advanced cases, though, surgery may be the most effective option. Not only does this approach put patients at ease, it also can reduce the expense for treatment.Read our Mission Statement.
A more experienced periodontist has seen a wider variety of cases and had more opportunities to complete various procedures, which typically translates to better treatment outcomes. Dr. Gottesman has been practicing for over 15 years and demonstrates a commitment to keeping updated on developments in the field through continuing education courses.
Dr. Gottesman is a respected expert in periodontal care and has presented to national and international audiences and published articles in prestigious journals. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, an honor accorded to fewer than one percent of American dentists. Dr. Gottesman also is a fellow of the International College of Oral Implantologists and International Team for Implantology.
