Marie McKenzie Tola, DDS

Gum health rarely makes headlines, yet it underpins every confident smile in the Bronx. Periodontists specialize in the tissues that anchor teeth, tackling issues most general dentists refer out. When inflammation flares or bone loss begins, these specialists step in with procedures that preserve what’s left and rebuild what’s been lost.

Marie McKenzie Tola, DDS keeps an office at 1250 Waters Place, a quiet stretch of the borough where pocket-depth readings and grafting techniques become routine. Patients arrive for scaling and root planing, leave with crown-lengthening results, or return for dental implants that feel indistinguishable from natural teeth. The practice also handles gum grafts and laser therapy, addressing both functional concerns and cosmetic preferences without crossing into general dentistry’s territory.

Directions to the office are clearest on the map, and questions about treatment plans or insurance can be answered by calling (929) 263-3302. Bronx locals know that gum disease doesn’t announce itself—it’s usually the quiet spots between teeth that need attention first.
