Specialty CredentialsEducation & Prosthodontic Training
Columbia University Dental School
Dr. Randi earned his dental degree at Columbia University, one of the foundational steps in his path to becoming a prosthodontist. That base training in general dentistry gave him the groundwork to later pursue specialty education focused on restoring damaged, worn, or missing teeth.
Prosthodontics Residency, Manhattan VA
After a general practice residency at the Brooklyn VA, Dr. Randi completed his prosthodontics residency at the Manhattan VA. This additional specialty training, beyond dental school, is what separates a prosthodontist from a general dentist. It focuses specifically on complex restorative cases: crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported restorations that need to function well together as a full system, not just look right in isolation.
Function FirstA Whole-Mouth, Function-First Philosophy
Dr. Randi does not look at one tooth on its own. He evaluates how the bite, jaw, gums, and remaining teeth work together before recommending restorative dentistry or implant treatment. This whole-mouth approach means a crown, bridge, or denture is designed to fit a patient's actual bite and daily habits, not just the space it needs to fill. The goal is a result that holds up over time and feels natural when eating and speaking, not just when smiling in a photo.
This same thinking guides how Dr. Randi approaches dental implants, from single tooth replacement to full-arch implant-supported dentures. Digital impressions and CT-based planning help map out each case before treatment begins, so the plan accounts for bone structure, bite alignment, and long-term function.
Specialty Vs. General CareWhy Formal Prosthodontic Specialty Training Matters
A general dentist can place a filling or a simple crown. A prosthodontist has completed extra years of residency training focused specifically on restoring and replacing teeth in complex situations, worn dentitions, multiple missing teeth, implant-supported dentures, and full-mouth rebuilds. That extra training matters most in cases where several teeth or systems need to work together correctly. It's also why general dentists sometimes refer their more complex restorative cases to a prosthodontist like Dr. Randi. Dentists considering a referral can find details on our Referrals page.
