Esperanza A. Rodriguez DDS PC

The practice has served Bronx patients since 2004, when Esperanza Rodriguez McPartland opened it. It welcomes patients from the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and the wider New York City area, including families and patients of all ages.

Implant care is a core service. Single crowns, implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures are all offered, and placement is done under local anesthesia in a single appointment, with sedation also available. The implant consultation covers imaging, a review of medical history, a timeline and a cost estimate. If bone has receded, bone grafting may be discussed before an implant. The practice says it offers implant, orthodontic and endodontic care under one roof, so patients do not need to be sent to several offices.

Sedation dentistry includes two options. Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small nose mask and wears off within minutes after the appointment, so no driver is needed. Conscious sedation goes deeper, suits longer procedures or greater anxiety, and requires a driver home afterward. The choice depends on health history, the procedure and the level of anxiety, and sedation is also available for routine cleanings.

Cosmetic and restorative work includes in-office whitening that takes about an hour, using the Zoom! and Sapphire systems, which the practice says lift teeth several shades. Tooth-colored bonding repairs chips, small cracks, worn edges and minor gaps, usually in one visit. Porcelain veneers are custom shells bonded to the front of teeth; they take two visits, require removing a thin layer of enamel, and are permanent. Patients receive a plan and cost estimate for cosmetic treatment. Restorative services include tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy and extractions, and general care covers exams, cleanings, fluoride, sealants and periodontal therapy.

Wellness aesthetics treatments are offered alongside dental care, and consultations review a patient's dental history and any aesthetic treatment they already have. Emface is a non-invasive facial treatment made by BTL Aesthetics that combines radiofrequency with HIFES muscle stimulation in a session of about 20 minutes. The standard course is four sessions spaced 5 to 10 days apart, with no needles, anesthesia or downtime; results typically appear within 4 to 6 weeks of the final session and generally last a year or more. Emface is not recommended for pregnant patients, people with metal or electronic implants in the treatment area, or certain skin conditions. Exion, also from BTL, pairs AI-guided radiofrequency with targeted ultrasound in sessions of about 20 to 25 minutes, with settings adjusted for areas such as the jawline, cheeks, under the eyes and beneath the chin. Some patients notice temporary warmth or pinkness. Hydration changes usually show within one to two weeks and firmness is judged about three months after the last session; results generally last close to a year, and one or two maintenance sessions a year are suggested. Emvital is a BTL high-intensity laser system for muscle and joint pain and stiffness, with hands-free sessions of 10 to 20 minutes. BTL typically recommends four treatments a few days apart, and medical conditions and implanted devices are reviewed at the consultation.

The practice describes itself as fee-for-service and says insurance contract requirements do not lower its standard of care. Patients can spread payments over time through Cherry, a buy now, pay later company; the site says there are no hard credit checks and that 0% APR options are available subject to eligibility. Hours are Monday to Thursday 9 am to 5 pm and Friday 9 am to 3 pm, with weekends closed.

Treats dental and facial aesthetic care under one roof, reviewing dental history before aesthetic work, on a fee-for-service model that the practice says keeps insurance requirements from lowering its standard of care.
