About
Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, located in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's Flatiron District at 37 W 20th St Suite 403, stands as a beacon of excellence and innovation in the field of dental restoration and aesthetic enhancement. Founded over two decades ago, the practice was born from a simple yet profound vision: to merge the art of cosmetic dentistry with the precision of advanced implantology, creating a destination where patients could achieve not just functional dental health, but transformative, confidence-boosting smiles. Under the leadership of its founding principal, a renowned prosthodontist and implant specialist, the practice has evolved from a local clinic into a respected regional center for complex full-mouth reconstructions and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.
The core mission of Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry is to provide patient-centric, evidence-based care in a comfortable and anxiety-free environment. The practice operates on the philosophy that every patient is unique, and therefore, every treatment plan must be meticulously customized. This commitment is evident from the first consultation, where time is taken to understand not only the clinical condition but also the patient's lifestyle, aspirations, and concerns. The team believes that education is paramount; patients are fully involved in the diagnostic process, with detailed explanations using 3D imaging and intraoral scans, ensuring they make informed decisions about their oral health.
What truly sets this practice apart is its dual-specialty focus. While many practices offer either cosmetic services or implant dentistry, Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry has built its reputation on seamlessly integrating both. The clinical team possesses deep expertise in the biomechanics of implant placement and the aesthetic principles of smile design. This allows for comprehensive treatment planning where, for example, a full-arch implant restoration (like All-on-4) is designed from the outset with the final cosmetic appearance in mind—ensuring the prosthetic teeth are not only secure but also beautifully natural in color, shape, and texture. The practice is at the forefront of technology, utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise 3D jawbone assessment, computer-guided implant surgery for safety and accuracy, and digital smile design software to preview outcomes before any work begins.
The practice's unique value proposition is rooted in its 'Collaborative Specialist Model.' The in-house team includes specialists in prosthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery who work together in a single location. This eliminates the need for patients to be referred to multiple, separate offices for different phases of treatment. A complex case involving bone grafting, implant placement, and custom crown fabrication is coordinated and executed under one roof, ensuring continuity of care, streamlined communication, and significantly reduced treatment timelines. The environment itself is designed to alleviate dental anxiety, featuring a modern, serene office with amenities that prioritize patient comfort.
Expertise here is not just about technical skill but also about material science and long-term planning. The practice uses only the highest-grade dental implants (such as Nobel Biocare and Straumann) and collaborates with master dental technicians to craft ceramic restorations. The commitment to continuing education is relentless; the doctors regularly attend and present at national conferences, ensuring they implement the latest techniques in immediate load implants, soft tissue management, and minimally invasive prep techniques for veneers. This dedication positions Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry not merely as a service provider, but as a true clinical partner invested in the lifelong oral health and satisfaction of its patients. In a city filled with dental options, this practice distinguishes itself through its surgical cosmetic expertise, integrated care model, and unwavering commitment to achieving exceptional, durable, and naturally stunning results for every individual who walks through its doors.

Customer Reviews
I just had the best quality cleaning with Lauren and as usual I'm so grateful. Lauren always takes such good care of my teeth & consistently assures my comfort and best health! I'm so lucky to have been a patient of Lauren's & Dr Srivastava's for over 30 years and their professional standards have never wavered ever. I am in great health today directly due to their faithful care. Definitely will never leave. XO
An Unparalleled Standard in Dental Care
Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry is, without a doubt, the best dental practice I have ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, respected, and completely cared for. The level of both clinical skill and personal kindness here is truly exceptional.
My experience with the Periodontal Therapist, Lauren, was phenomenal. She is extremely thorough in her work, but it’s her caring nature that truly sets her apart. She constantly checked in on my comfort and tolerance throughout the entire appointment, making a usually tense experience surprisingly manageable. Her attention to detail ensures top-tier results while her gentle approach completely puts you at ease.
The owner and Prosthodontist, Dr. Srivastava, is equally outstanding. They are incredibly personable and so kind, demonstrating genuine warmth that permeates the whole office atmosphere. What always impresses me is how they consistently remember details about me and my family, proving that they view their patients as people, not just charts. That level of personal connection is rare and deeply appreciated.
Finally, the entire administrative team, from the front-of-house staff to the back-of-house staff responsible for insurance submission, deserves immense praise. Dealing with dental insurance can be confusing, but they are all so helpful when it comes to explaining my insurance benefits. They take the time to break down the details, ensuring I understand what is covered and what my financial obligations are.
I highly recommend Advanced Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry to anyone looking for expert care coupled with a truly compassionate and professional team.
This is about my 8th implant Dr Castracane has done for me. Years ago we started a bit off but have since created an excellent doctor/ patient rhythm. I highly recommend Doctor C for any implants needed.
Dr. S is the best dentist anyone could possibly see in every way. I’ve moved out of the area but still travel from afar so I can continue to get the best care from her and her whole team. She is so meticulous and is a perfectionist and cares deeply about her patients' health. She has magic hands!
I have been treated by Dr. S for years and even though I moved out of NYC I continue to travel to be seen by her. She provides care, not just treatment, and my dental health has improved and stabilized under her direction. Dr.S is truly the best. She genuinely loves what she does and cares about her patients. If you've been looking for a dentist and practice that will support your well being, look no further!
