David Mandel, DDS

Across Kingsbridge and the Riverdale edge, the single-story storefront at 130 West Kingsbridge Road anchors a concise dental focus: implants and periodontics. The immediate block blends weekday foot traffic—teachers, students, commuters—with the slow hum of neighborhood life beside the Jerome Park Reservoir grass. No frills, no plaza storefronts, just a signal of practical oral care where the road widens toward the parkway.

David Mandel, DDS concentrates on surgical and restorative implants and the tissue work that makes them last. The practice is small by design: one chair, one microscope, no high-volume catalogue of veneers or whitening add-ons. Patients arrive with peri-implantitis, failing crowns, or simply the desire to replace a lost molar with something permanent.

Surgical extraction precedes socket preservation when bone loss is already present at extraction. Sinus floor elevation opens the upper arch for implant posts without discomfort beyond local anesthesia. Prosthetic placement bridges the gap from titanium post to final crown, and a night-guard may follow once the bite settles. The number to schedule the next step is (718) 584-9000—keep it handy.

The best route is the quick hop along Mosholu Parkway then down the service road; use the directions link to lock the route before the light turns.
