Patient Information
What will it cost?
We sincerely believe that excellent dental care can be affordable and accessible in NY state. We participate in a wide variety of insurances so that all kinds of families can come to see us. We keep our office fees low and work directly with families that are experiencing hardship instead of convincing them to take out credit. We know that a visit to the dentist can be scary for children, but we also understand that it can be scary for parents and guardians who are not ready for an unexpected bill. We aim to be transparent and provide you as much information as possible about what your care will cost. Oh, and the best way to keep your dental costs low is to brush and floss twice a day!
Dental Insurance
We take a wide range of dental insurances including NY medicaid plans, many local union and PBA plans, and PPO insurances. The best way to be sure you have in-network coverage with us is to call your insurance carrier. Remember, insurances vary widely in coverage and there are frequently costs that are passed on to you in the form of co-pays, co-insurances, and deductibles. We are always working hard to make sure that you understand what out of pocket expenses you might have.
Hospital Care
Treatment under general anesthesia at the hospital involves two sets of charges: one through your medical insurance that covers the hospital’s fees and one through your dental insurance for the care that we provide. There are not many insurances that cover all of these costs. If you think your child may need care under general anesthesia, talk to us about your options.
We are in-network with many major insurances!
