Martin Bassiur, DDS

Unlike general dentists, oral surgeons specialize in procedures that go beyond routine cleanings and fillings—think wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, and corrective jaw surgery. Martin Bassiur, DDS operates from an office on 65 W 55th St #305, a stretch of Midtown where medical practices share space with galleries and corporate towers. This isn’t the place for a standard checkup; the focus here leans toward surgical solutions for complex dental issues, including bone grafting and treatment of facial trauma. The address puts it within walking distance of both Central Park’s southern edge and the hustle of Fifth Avenue, though the work done inside is far removed from tourist itineraries.

Reaching the office is simplest via the 57th St subway station, a short walk through a neighborhood where skyscrapers cast long shadows even at midday. Questions about procedures or scheduling can be directed to (212) 686-0145, where someone will likely clarify whether your needs align with what an oral surgeon handles. For exact directions—or to double-check the building entrance—pull up the map before heading over; Midtown’s grid can be deceptive if you’re unfamiliar. Just don’t expect this to be a quick in-and-out visit—oral surgery, by nature, demands more than a passing appointment.
