I had an amazing experience with my wisdom teeth removal! The entire team was incredibly supportive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. They were very organized and communicative—they even called ahead of time to make sure I was prepared and followed up after the procedure, which I really appreciated.
The surgery itself went so smoothly. I had little to no swelling and experienced zero to minimal pain, which honestly exceeded my expectations. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in their work.
I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing wisdom teeth removal. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and positive from start to finish!

Dr. Christie did a good job on my implant. However, Dr. Christie and her office have been terrible about keeping their appointments. Last week they were a no show. They had scheduled my appointment for 12:40 pm but decided everyone in the office would go out to lunch for a celebration. Celebrations are great, but it would have been nice of someone told me they wouldn’t be there. And today I have been waiting almost a half hour with no end in sight. I guess I will reschedule … again.

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!

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 and wedding- thank you

Everything about my visit was exceptional. I had a wisdom tooth extracted. The staff was great - on schedule, explaining process thoroughly, answering all my questions and making me feel comfortable. Dr. Christie did a wonderful job - pain free during the entire process, including no pain afterwards. She even called the following day to assure I was okay.

About Fantuzzo Oral, Maxillofacial & Dental Implant Surgery
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.
