Search for dental implants near the Upper East Side and most of what comes back is a comprehensive, multi-specialty family practice that treats a case by moving it between departments. A common reason patients cross the park to Dental West NYC is a second opinion on a plan they’ve already been given.
What a Second Opinion Actually Checks
- Does the bone volume actually support the plan you were given? Dr. Walter reviews the imaging herself rather than taking a prior read at face value.
- Is the number of implants proposed the right number? Sometimes a bridge or full-arch approach is more appropriate than one implant per gap.
- Is the cost estimate itemized, or a single lump figure? You should be able to see exactly what you’re paying for and why.
- Is there a simpler option you weren’t offered? Not every case needs the most involved treatment on the menu.
Dental West NYC sits at Central Park West near Columbus Circle. Patients from the Upper East Side generally cross on the 66th, 79th, or 96th Street transverse — the M66, M79, or M96 bus connects straight across, near the 1, A, B, and C trains.
Implant Options
- Single-tooth implant — one missing tooth, without altering the teeth beside it.
- Implant-supported bridge — several teeth in a row, anchored to implants instead of natural teeth.
- Full-arch replacement — an entire arch on a fixed set of implants. See our full-arch replacement page.
- Implant-supported dentures — a removable option with far more stability than a traditional denture. See our implant-supported dentures page.
Whichever case you bring, Dr. Walter is a surgically trained prosthodontist who plans, places, and restores implants herself — the same doctor from consultation through final crown.
Already Have a Treatment Plan?
