Meet Dr. Gerald B. Grossman, who has been practicing Comprehensive Restorative Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry in Westbury, NY, for over 40 years. Early on as a dentist, he was fortunate to meet and later be mentored by the legendary Dr. L. D. Pankey. This started him on a lifelong journey of thousands of hours of postgraduate education to learn how to care for patients at the highest ethical and professional levels.
To do what is necessary to achieve long-term maintainable health and comfort as well as the creation of beautiful natural smiles. More than a tooth dentist, Dr. Grossman is trained in the proper functions of the jaw. He believes your smile and chewing system is like a fine watch. Not only should it be beautiful but it must function with precision. Dr. Grossman has taught and lectured extensively. He is also an avid photographer. His photographs in his office, like his dentistry, show balance, proportion and beauty.
A dental bridge is a porcelain restoration that is supported by two crowned teeth or two dental implants. A bridge can replace one tooth or several teeth. This type of restorative dentistry replaces your missing teeth with prosthetic teeth called pontics.Modern bridges are designed to blend in with natural teeth, matching their color, shape, and size.
Dr. Grossman has developed a reputation as 'The da Vinci of Dentistry' and incorporates advanced materials and methods into each bridge we create. Our dentist combines science and artistry in every aspect of his dental work and is confident that you 'll be happy with your results.
To begin, your dentist will numb the treatment area. For a traditional bridge, the teeth on both sides of the gap will be modified to support the bridge. This entails removing some of each tooth's structure to make room for the crowns
Traditional bridges are a trusted type of restorative dentistry. However, they leave the jaw vulnerable to the bone loss that results from missing teeth. Many patients choose implant bridges for this reason. Implants are small posts that are surgically placed in the jaw where they stimulate the tissue, just like tooth roots. Plus, a self-supporting bridge allows your doctor to preserve all your natural remaining teeth.
For both traditional treatment and implants, you can treat your dental bridge like you treat your natural teeth. Brush your teeth and bridge twice a day, floss your teeth once a day, use a threader to clean under your bridge, and schedule regular exams with your dentist.
A bridge may be your best option for areas of localized tooth loss. However, if you only have one missing tooth, an implant-supported crown may be a better solution. If you're missing an entire arch of teeth, we can have you fitted for dentures or implant-supported dentures instead.
Dental insurance will typically contribute to the cost of a dental bridgebut won't contribute to the cost of implants if you choose an implant-supported bridge. However, implants are worth the out-of-pocket cost because they can last a lifetime, protect your oral health, and maintain a dense, healthy jawbone.
Our Westbury, NY, office understands if you don't have insurance or need help covering out-of-pocket costs, so we work with CareCredit and LendingClub. These financing options allow patients to pay in affordable monthly installments.

Dr. Grossman is an impeccable dentist. I have been to a number of dentists throughout the years, and Dr. Grossman is the best by far. Many dentists that I have seen wanted to replace all of my crowns, regardless of how old they were, and sometimes replace more than one at a time, which I found out later was never a good idea. These previous dentists have caused me a lot of unnecessary pain over the years. Then I met Dr. Grossman and that all changed. Dr. Grossman identified two major problems with my teeth that were the cause of daily headaches, which I had for 20 years. The first was a poorly done root canal. He took the time to sit down and discuss the situation with me while showing me the issues he found in the X-rays that he had taken previously. Instead of just simply replacing a crown for cash, he fixed the underlying issue. Another cause of my headaches, which no previous dentist or medical doctor could identify, was my bite not matching correctly. After correcting it, the headaches went away. I have been Dr. Grossman's patient for a little over three years now, and he has never performed a procedure that was unnecessary. He has always explained everything in detail, and has taken more time then I would expect to ensure I understand everything he is discussing with me. He has never pressed me to have a procedure done, and he has always been patient with me and my questions. While Dr. Grossman is amazing, he is not the only reason I enjoy going to his practice. The staff at Dr. Grossman's office is fantastic. Just like Dr. Grossman, they are all very charismatic. They voluntarily watch my daughter while I am in the chair, and they treat me like family. I have never been more comfortable in a dentist office. I am a patient, my family and extended family all go to him, and a few of my friends have their dental work done there as well. If your dentist is not a ten out of ten on your scale, then you should try Dr. Grossman. You will never look back and be thankful you did.
