Dr. Fantauzzo was fantastic. He was very patient and easy to talk to during my wisdom tooth removal consultation. During surgery, he took his time answering my questions and his staff made the surgery very comfortable. I highly recommend his office and will be referring all of my friends and family!

I was very nervous about my tooth extraction appointment. I'm on portable oxygen and worried how it would go. I was referred by my dentist Dr. Chris Calnon. Dr. Fantuzzo and his assistant, Sherry were awesome. They hooked me up to their oxygen and he was great explaining everything that he was doing. They really showed compassion! And, it didn't take as long as I thought it would take. I highly recommend this dentist!!!

Dr. Molly Christie is excellent- I had a sliding genioplasty in the summer of 2025. She is direct, professional, kind, knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. She could’ve had me do the more extensive and likely expensive jaw surgery but took into account my symptoms and goals and recommended a sliding genio instead. Her office does well with getting in pretty quickly and are very kind staff members. I haven’t had many surgeries or procedures but she did well at providing an overview and answering questions. She seems to genuinely care and was very helpful at calming me down right before the surgery. I’m getting married next summer and was always self conscious of my side profile, it is because of her work that I’m not worried about how I look in pictures during a very important moment in my life. Thank you ❤️ Edit: I have a chin for my engagement photos - thank you

Every single person I dealt with for this extraction visit was kind and knowledgeable. Dr. Fantuzzo is excellent, patient and understanding. The woman who took me to the room and got me set up for the extraction was extremely kind, helpful and understanding. They’re all wonderful there and if I’m unfortunate enough to need another extraction, that’s where I will go.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Christie. After going through a traumatic accident, she was exactly the kind of oral surgeon I needed. She's compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure I never left an appointment with unanswered questions. Dr. Christie strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine care. While I’m grateful to no longer need her services, I’ll truly miss her presence as a healthcare professional. The world needs more providers like her! Highly recommend!

Fantuzzo Oral, Maxillofacial & Dental Implant Surgery is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice located at 1815 South Clinton Avenue, Building 300, Suite 320 in Rochester, New York. The practice describes its goal as serving all patients in a warm, caring, and compassionate manner and giving patients and families the information they need to take an active part in treatment decisions. Its surgeons practice the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery for children and adults, including dental implant placement, bone grafting for implants, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, socket grafting, implant supported overdentures, and options for patients missing all of their upper or lower teeth. Other services include wisdom tooth removal, tooth extractions, exposure of impacted canines, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma care, oral pathology, pre-prosthetic surgery, sleep apnea treatment, and 3D imaging.
For patients considering dental implants, the practice explains that implant treatment is a team effort. Its surgeons perform the implant surgery, any needed tooth extractions, and bone grafting, while the patient's own restorative dentist makes the final replacement teeth. The site notes that single stage implants can be placed in many cases and that, in some situations, an implant can be placed at the same time as an extraction to reduce the number of procedures. The surgical assistants are certified and trained to support the doctors in providing intravenous anesthesia in the office, and all clinical staff are certified in basic, advanced cardiac, and pediatric advanced life support. The practice accepts CareCredit and welcomes patients from Rochester and surrounding Western New York communities, including Brighton, Pittsford, Henrietta, Penfield, Fairport, Irondequoit, Greece, Spencerport, East Rochester, Scottsville, and Rush.
The practice is led by two board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Joseph J. Fantuzzo, DDS, MD, FACS, and Dr. Molly A. Christie, DDS. Both are Diplomates of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and hold hospital privileges at Strong Memorial Hospital and Rochester General Hospital. Dr. Fantuzzo is trained in both dentistry and medicine, completed a six year hospital based oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University at Buffalo, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Before entering private practice in 2015, he served as Chair and Residency Program Director of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and he is a past President of the New York State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Dr. Christie earned her dental degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and completed her oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center. She is certified by the state of New York to provide intravenous anesthesia, serves as a Clinical Instructor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital, and lists dental implant surgery, bone and soft tissue grafting, and full arch dental implant rehabilitation among her special interests.
