Dr. Costa is one of the few providers on Staten Island offering CEREC® technology - with the ability to digitally design and mill your all-porcelain crown right here in the office. We take a digital scan of your tooth to make your crown on the spot, so there are no more messy impressions to worry about and we don’t have to wait two weeks for the lab!
Throughout his career, Dr. Costa has maintained a commitment to advanced training in many of the specialty areas of dentistry. He is a 2017 graduate of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Implant Maxi Course - a 300 hour, year-long class focused on treatment planning, placement, and restoration of dental implants.
