Insurance


Our doctors and staff are very conscious of trying to maximize your dental insurance benefits. But remember, these are your benefits and dental insurance cannot dictate proper care.

Our front desk will submit all forms for insurance payments and, if necessary, a pre-determination of benefits. There is tremendous variability of benefits provided among insurance companies and specific plans. Our staff can answer a lot of your questions, but, it is your responsibility to know these benefits. The patient is always responsible for payment of services provided in our office.

Please contact our office at 631-499-1212 with any questions you might have regarding 3rd party benefits or for a list of insurance companies in which we are participating providers.
