Expert surgical care in Fresh Meadows, Queens, NY

Your Surgical Team in Fresh Meadows, Queens

At Queensboro Oral Surgery, your care is provided by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who have completed years of advanced, hospital-based training beyond dental school. This specialized education includes surgical techniques, anesthesia administration, emergency management, and complex case planning.

Each surgeon at our practice holds advanced credentials and has trained in accredited residency programs where they gained extensive experience in dental implant placement, bone grafting, jaw reconstruction, and the safe administration of IV sedation and general anesthesia. This depth of training is what sets an oral and maxillofacial surgeon apart from a general dentist.

What Sets Our Surgeons Apart

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the most surgically intensive specialty in dentistry. Our doctors completed four to six years of hospital-based residency training after dental school, working alongside medical residents in anesthesiology, internal medicine, and emergency medicine. This background gives them the knowledge to safely treat patients with complex medical histories and to manage any situation that may arise during a procedure.

Both of our surgeons maintain active hospital affiliations and teaching appointments. This keeps them connected to the latest research, techniques, and standards of care in the field. Patients benefit from surgeons who are not only experienced clinicians but also educators who help train the next generation of oral surgeons.
