Surgery backed by research
He earned his certificate in Periodontics at NYU College of Dentistry, where he also completed a general residency in comprehensive dentistry and received the Award for Clinical Stewardship. That combination of comprehensive and specialty training shows up in how he plans cases: he treats the gums and bone in front of him while accounting for the restorative work the tooth will need later.
Dr. Rudiak’s Area of Expertise
- Dental implant placement and site development
- Bone grafting to rebuild lost ridge volume
- Soft tissue grafting for gum recession
- Osseous surgery for advanced periodontal disease
- Periodontal maintenance and long-term monitoring
- Crown lengthening and gum contouring
He favors a multi-specialty approach, which at Prestige Dental Specialists means his surgical plan is built alongside the endodontists and the patient’s referring dentist rather than in isolation. He also puts real time into explaining what caused the bone loss in the first place, since periodontal disease returns without changes to home care.
