It is said that All Roads Lead Home…if there is any truth to that then no doubt Dr. Goldenberg calls Shine Dental home!
From the moment he attended the prestigious Bronx High School of Science he knew he wanted to be a dentist. At least that’s what his mother wanted for her “nice Jewish boy” and she engrained in him that calling. Following his graduation from Rutgers University, he chose to pursue and enjoyed a successful sales career with a manufacturer of medical and dental equipment. Traveling every week, around the world, staying in nice hotels, and dining at fancy restaurants, he interacted with some of the greatest leaders in medicine and dentistry. But he was discontent as he now had a family and didn’t want to see his children grow up with him absent. At the age of 30, he made a life-altering decision and was accepted into the New York University College of Dentistry. While in dental school, his experience as a parent came in useful as he excelled in treating children and was elected as President of the American Society of Dentistry for Children’s school chapter. At his graduation in 2002, his proud mother merely said “I told you so. What took you so long?”
A 1 year General Practice residency at Peninsula Hospital was followed by a successful associateship with Shine Dental Associates and then as owner of a growing practice in East Rockaway until it was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Not one to be deterred by challenges, he continued to improve his knowledge and in 2016 was elected as President of the New York State Academy of General Dentistry. Continuing education and providing the highest level of care to his patients has been a pillar that he has established for himself. In 2017 he was recruited to be a part of a start-up dental group. Having successfully accomplished what he wanted to, he returned to Shine Dental Associates in 2019 which was an easy decision for him as its core value “What’s best for the patient?” is exactly what he wants to offer. Trained and skilled in all facets of general dentistry, Dr. Goldenberg provides expertise ranging from routine dental exams to placing dental implants to replace missing teeth.
“Easy to talk to”…” Answered all my questions”…” Spent time with me”…” He’s like a normal person”… these are just some of the things Dr. Goldenberg’s patients have said about him. When not working, Dr. Goldenberg can be found watching a dental webinar, attending a dental continuing education course, or food shopping and cooking for his family. He also enjoys singing in his car, riding his motorcycle, and scuba diving.
An “open book”, Dr. Goldenberg is willing to discuss almost anything to provide you with the most comfortable experience to improve your health!

FAQs
According to the American Dental Association, there are many reasons to maintain the space of a missing tooth. A significant space between teeth may affect how a person speaks or chews. Adjacent teeth become free range and can move or shift and in some cases, bone loss can occur around a missing tooth.
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that serves as a reliable foundation (tooth root) for replacement teeth. Natural bone locks the implant down by growing around the implant and fusing it into place.
Fossil evidence suggests attempts to recreate teeth using substances such as stone, ivory and wood. Proven safe and effective at replacing missing teeth, modern dental implants have been in use for more than 40 years.
Dental implant surgery is one of the safest procedures in dentistry and it is the only restoration method that stimulates natural bone beneath the missing tooth.
Every case is unique and every patient heals differently. A dentist can provide an estimate of how much chair time to expect.
General dentists diagnose and maintain the overall oral health of patients. They may have knowledge in specialty areas like implants. Well-qualified implant experts can be found on the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) website. AAID professionals have earned a prestigious American Academy of Implant Dentistry credential, a stringent requirement that must be earned through education, training, examination and the demonstration of competency in implant dentistry.
Three million people in the U.S. have dental implants and that number is growing by 500,000 a year. Dental implants are a reliable solution to missing teeth. Studies show success rates routinely above 98 percent.
The cost of most dental implants is identical to that of the average three-tooth bridge. The long-term cost for an implant (versus a bridge) is much lower, since a bridge will most likely need to be replaced at some point.
Dental implants can take two to several months to integrate into place. The bone around a new implant needs time to heal so it can secure the implant into place.
Most patients can be fully sedated, partially sedated, or numbed with anesthetic. Little to no discomfort is the goal. Implants can also be placed with the assistance of dental lasers. Lasers offer leading-edge techniques for successful implant placement and patient comfort.
