Kenneth L. Kronstadt, DMD, MSD
Maxillofacial Prosthodontist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Surgeon
As a maxillofacial prosthodontist, I am a dental specialist with expertise in restoring and rehabilitating areas of the maxillofacial region that are affected by cancer treatment, trauma, or congenital conditions.
While a significant number of the dental and oral rehabilitations I perform involve dental implants, there are situations where dental implants are not possible. Therefore, I also take pride in providing treatment fabrication of traditional removable prosthetics, including obturators, partial dentures, or conventional complete dentures.

Dental prosthetics exist in a range of modalities, and there are a number of treatment options for those who have had resections of the maxillofacial region and who may be missing a significant number of teeth or portion of the jaws. I work closely with patients and their families to determine what the best option may be to achieve the patient’s functional and cosmetic goals.
I also work with the Plastic Surgery Service, the other maxillofacial prosthodontists, and the anaplastologist (medical artist) in our service to create facial prosthetics for patients who have lost external anatomic structures of the head (ears, eyes, and nose). Additionally, I provide supportive care to manage oral side effects of cancer treatment, as well as provide pretreatment screenings for radiation, chemotherapy, and various types of transplant procedures.
My research interests include the long-term assessments of dental implants and their associated prosthetics, dental materials, applications of digital technology, and the long-term oral health of various populations.
Prior to becoming a dentist, I trained in classical music, and to this day I still enjoy being an active patron of the performing arts, of which there are plentiful opportunities here in New York City.
A maxillofacial (max-ill-o-FAY-shul) prosthodontist (pros-thoh-DON-tist) has special training in treating problems of the face, jaw, and nearby soft tissue. They are trained in using a prothesis (pros-THEE-sis), an artificial piece that replaces a body part (also called a prosthetic).
