Best in Class Periodontist NYC: Frank Celenza DDS | Upper East Side – Manhattan

Frank Celenza DDS is a best in class periodontist at The Gelb Center in Manhattan, NYC. 

At The Gelb Center, periodontics is about far more than treating gum disease. It is about protecting the foundation of your oral health, preserving your natural teeth, and supporting long-term wellness through highly specialized care. Our interdisciplinary philosophy combines advanced periodontal therapy, implant dentistry, airway-focused care, and aesthetic precision to deliver outcomes that improve both function and quality of life.

Led by internationally recognized clinicians, The Gelb Center provides comprehensive periodontal services for patients experiencing gum disease, bone loss, gum recession, missing teeth, peri-implant complications, and complex restorative needs. Every treatment plan is customized to the patient’s overall health, bite function, facial structure, and long-term stability.

Comprehensive Periodontal Services

Healthy gums and supporting bone are essential to maintaining a healthy smile. When periodontal disease develops, it can affect not only the teeth and jaw but also overall systemic health. Research continues to demonstrate the relationship between chronic oral inflammation and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep-disordered breathing, and chronic inflammation throughout the body.

At The Gelb Center, our periodontal services include:

• Comprehensive periodontal evaluations
• Treatment for gingivitis and advanced periodontal disease
• Scaling and root planning (deep cleanings)
• Periodontal maintenance therapy
• Gum grafting and soft tissue reconstruction
• Bone grafting and ridge preservation
• Dental implant placement
• Peri-implantitis treatment
• Crown lengthening procedures
• Cosmetic periodontal procedures for smile enhancement

Our team utilizes advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to maximize comfort, precision, and healing.

Expertise You Can Trust: Dr. Frank Celenza

The Gelb Center is proud to feature the expertise of Dr. Frank Celenza, a uniquely qualified clinician with dual specialty training in both Periodontics and Orthodontics. Dr. Celenza earned his periodontal certification from the University of Pennsylvania and his orthodontic certification from New York University, making him one of the few dental specialists with advanced training in both disciplines.

With more than 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Celenza has built a reputation for treating highly complex cases that require a comprehensive understanding of gum health, bite alignment, facial aesthetics, and implant stability. He has authored numerous publications in the dental literature, participated extensively in postgraduate education, and served as a respected educator within the dental community for over 15 years.

Patients benefit from Dr. Celenza’s rare ability to evaluate periodontal health within the broader context of facial harmony, airway function, occlusion, and long-term restorative success. His interdisciplinary perspective aligns seamlessly with The Gelb Center’s philosophy of integrative care.

Dental Implants & Bone Regeneration

For patients with missing teeth, dental implants offer one of the most predictable and long-lasting solutions available in modern dentistry. Successful implant treatment depends heavily on the health and quality of the surrounding bone and soft tissue — areas where periodontal expertise is critical.

At The Gelb Center, implant therapy is approached with meticulous planning and surgical precision. Advanced imaging and interdisciplinary collaboration allow our team to create highly personalized treatment plans designed for optimal stability, aesthetics, and long-term function.

When bone loss is present, regenerative procedures such as bone grafting and soft tissue augmentation may be recommended to rebuild support and improve implant success rates.

A Whole-Body Approach to Periodontal Health

What makes The Gelb Center different is our understanding that oral health does not exist in isolation. Gum inflammation, jaw position, airway health, sleep quality, and overall wellness are deeply interconnected. Our clinicians evaluate these relationships carefully to identify contributing factors that may otherwise go overlooked.

This collaborative, airway-focused philosophy allows patients to receive care that supports not only healthier gums and teeth, but also improved breathing, sleep quality, jaw comfort, and long-term wellness.
