The practice's primary focus centers on dental implant surgery, where Dr. Stein has established himself as a national leader. Throughout his career, he has placed over 30,000 dental implants, making him one of the most experienced implant surgeons in the region. The Dental Implant Center at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, under Dr. Stein's leadership, places more than 1,000 dental implants annually using the most advanced dental implant technology available. The center is actively involved in multiple dental implant studies designed to develop the most sophisticated procedures and foster the highest level of patient care in the dental implant discipline.
Beyond implant surgery, Dr. Stein maintains a comprehensive oral and maxillofacial surgery practice.
