An estimated 75 percent of Americans over 35 years old have some form of periodontal disease. We offer a variety of non-surgical and minimally invasive, as well as more intensive surgical interventions, for any type of gum condition. Our treatments and procedures for gum disease implement the latest practices and technologies.
At Skyline Dental Designs we are dedicated to providing periodontal and gum disease dental treatments designed to assist in maintaining and improving your gum health. Our associate, Dr. David Greco is here to deliver the highest standard of care for our valued patients.
At Skyline Dental Designs our staff has undergone extensive training allowing us the ability to offer high-quality dental and periodontal services in the convenience of our office.
Dr. Greco received his dental degree from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Dental Association.
At Skyline Dental Designs we are proud to be recognized as a top-rated dental practice for gum disease treatment in Weehawken. We understand that every patient's needs are different, but our experienced and knowledgeable team can find the right procedure to deliver the best results for your specific dental issue.
While gum disease, or periodontitis, is asymptomatic in the initial stages, there are a number of risk factors to be aware of in order to catch the condition in its earliest stages. If you suffer from certain medical conditions or have a genetic predisposition to gum disease, you may be at higher risk. Additionally, smoking, certain medications, and poor oral health can increase the likelihood of developing gum disease.
You may require gum disease treatment if you are experiencing bleeding when you brush or floss, swelling or discoloration of your gums, or persistent bad breath. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an appointment with us at Skyline Dental Designs for periodontal care.
Periodontal scaling and root planing are nonsurgical processes in which we remove plaque and tartar that have built up below the gum line and can cause gum recession, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Patients who have these procedures can protect vulnerable teeth and prevent oral bacteria from spreading to other parts of the body, such as the heart and lungs. Scaling and root planing can also have aesthetic benefits, such as brightening some stains and treating bad breath, or halitosis.
Our goal is for you to achieve the best level of oral care possible when you come in for an appointment at Skyline Dental Designs.
Other periodontal services we offer include osseous surgery, which is a surgical treatment to treat periodontal disease and cosmetic periodontal treatment which can recontour gum tissue around a tooth or restoration.
Patients can also have a minor procedure known as a frenectomy to remove the tissue attachment (between the gums and lip) if it is too thick.
Regular dental exams and open communication can enable us to advise you on whether these types of procedures would be right for you.
We understand that on occasion a patient may need a more intensive treatment regimen to accommodate their needs. When we are treating more severe cases of gum recession, you may require a bone graft, which incorporates the rebuilding or replacing of the jawbone. Typically, patients have this procedure to support devices such as dental implants and other periodontal procedures.
We also offer crown lengthening which can reshape bone around a tooth in order to expose more tooth structure to support restorative and/or cosmetic periodontal treatments.
While these procedures can sound intimidating, rest assured our expert team will provide you with gentle and compassionate care to put you at ease.

Loved my experience here! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the office is clean and beautiful. Dr. Kaplan was great - he was friendly, didn't rush anything, answered all of my questions, and did my teeth cleaning himself. Very happy to have Skyline Dental for my future dentist visits.
Thank you Dr Kaplan and the staff at Skyline Dental! I had a great experience during my check-up and cleaning. Dr. Kaplan made me feel comfortable and explained dental treatments thoroughly! Skyline Dental truly makes your dentist appointments smooth sailing, (painless too) looking forward to my next visit in six months.
Have had a great experience with Skyline Dental. Dr. Kaplan takes time to explain what’s going on and answer any questions while the reception crew is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Never have trouble getting through to them or receiving the information I need! Definitely recommend.
I’ve had a great experience working with Dr. Kaplan and his team. Everyone has been extremely professional and great during Covid. The work Dr. Kaplan does is excellent as well. I would definitely recommend working with the team at Skyline Dental Designs
Beautiful office, fantastic staff! Dr. Kaplan is very thoughtful and patient. Pays close attention and puts your best interests first. I never felt uncomfortable even though I had to fill so many cavities on my first appointment here. The BEST dentist!!
I’m fairly new to the area and was looking for a new dentist office. I'm so glad I chose to check out Skyline! The staff is very welcoming and kind. The dentist took his time to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking!
I have been seeing Dr. Kaplan for a couple of months to correct some cavities and look into orthodontics options. I'm very pleased with this practice overall as well as with the doctor. The staff is kind and responsive, the doctor is very attentive and gives you time if you have questions. Very recommended!
Seamless process from start to finish. Dr. Kaplan is the most thorough dentist I've been to. He took the time to get to know me and my oral health/goals. Explained my options and treatment plan. His actual treatment (for fillings) was completely painless!
