Dr. Ghyslain Lessard-Boivin, DMD

Oral surgery in the Bronx doesn’t always come with fanfare, just the quiet assurance of someone who knows what they’re doing. Dr. Ghyslain Lessard-Boivin, DMD operates from 130 W Kingsbridge Rd, a stretch of sidewalk where the neighborhood’s usual hum settles into something more deliberate. The practice handles the kind of work most people don’t discuss over coffee—dental implants, bone grafts, wisdom teeth extractions—yet it’s the kind of place you end up recommending when someone mentions a stubborn molar or a referral they’ve been putting off. Call (718) 584-9000 if the conversation turns to tooth pain that won’t quit or a bridge that’s seen better days.

Across from the Kingsbridge Library, the office sits where the Bronx’s residential blocks give way to small storefronts and the occasional bodega that’s been there longer than anyone can remember. Oral surgeons aren’t the kind of professionals you visit on a whim, but when the need arises, it’s useful to have one nearby who doesn’t require a subway transfer or a bus ride across town. Directions are straightforward enough: pull up the map and walk over from the D train at Kingsbridge Road. Most people find the building before they find the right words for what’s bothering them.
