Woodside sits further from us than most of the neighbourhoods we serve, so it is reasonable to ask why anyone would make the trip for dental work.The honest answer is what happens to implant cases at most practices. The dentist places the implant, then sends you elsewhere for the crown — or refers the surgery out entirely and handles only the restoration. You end up as the person carrying information between two offices, and when something does not fit, it is unclear whose problem it is.We do both parts. That is the case for the journey.
Placement and restoration both happen at our Queens Boulevard implant office in Rego Park.
Implant treatment for Woodside patients
Getting here from Woodside
By subway there are two straightforward routes.
From Northern Boulevard or 65th Street, the M or R runs directly down the Queens Boulevard line to 63rd Drive–Rego Park — no changes, roughly six stops.
From the 7 at 61st Street–Woodside or 69th Street, ride to 74th Street–Jackson Heights, change to the E, F, M or R, and continue down. The transfer is inside the station.
By LIRR: Woodside station connects into the 61st Street subway, which is useful if you are coming back from Manhattan and want to go straight to an appointment.
By car: Queens Boulevard runs continuously between Woodside and Rego Park, roughly four miles.
Placement and restoration under one roof
This is the part that matters most if you are travelling.
At many practices, implant treatment is split. A surgeon or periodontist places the implant; a restorative dentist makes the crown. Two offices, two sets of records, two schedules to coordinate, and a gap in accountability if the final result does not sit right.
We plan the case, place the implant, and make the restoration in our own lab. One team, one set of records, one person answerable for how it turns out. For someone coming in from Woodside, that is the difference between a manageable sequence of appointments and a logistical problem.
What we treat
The full range, including the cases other practices refer out.
Single tooth implants — replacing one tooth without touching its neighbours
Full arch implants — a fixed set of teeth for an arch that is mostly or entirely gone
Sinus lifts and bone grafting where there is not enough bone to place an implant directly
Full mouth reconstruction combining implants, crowns and veneers in one plan
Making the trip worth it
We know you are coming a distance, so we try to group things sensibly. Where a scan, a consultation and a treatment plan can happen in one visit, they do. Where two procedures can be combined in one appointment safely, we combine them.
What we will not do is compress something that should not be rushed. Bone integration takes the months it takes, and a graft that needs to mature will not be hurried for the sake of convenience. We will tell you the real timeline at the consultation rather than after you have committed.
Our dental implant guide covers the procedure and recovery in full, and our implant cost factors page explains what drives the price.
Common Questions from Woodside Patients
How do I get to you from Woodside?
The M or R runs directly from Northern Boulevard or 65th Street to 63rd Drive–Rego Park, about six stops with no changes. From the 7, ride to 74th Street–Jackson Heights and transfer within the station. By car, straight down Queens Boulevard.
Will I be referred somewhere else for part of the treatment?
No. We plan the case, place the implant and make the restoration in our own lab. You deal with one practice throughout.
Can several appointments be combined into one visit?
Often, and we will do it where it is clinically sound. Tell us you are travelling in when you book and we will plan around it. What we will not do is rush a stage that needs healing time.
Do you take dental insurance?
One visit, one scan, and you will know what is possible, how long it would take, and what it would cost.
