    Back in September I was in between jobs and could not afford dental insurance in Levittown. Dr. Mekawy and their staff gave me information on a dental plan for people who can’t normally afford dental care. That’s just how awesome they are. I went in thinking I had two cavities that needed to be filled. I was in a little bit of pain because of them. I explained what had been going on and gave her a document that my primary dentist in Levittown had given me, which said what dental work I needed. Because of this payment plan, I am now able to afford the dental work that needs to be done that otherwise I could not afford it.

    I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Rafya Sandhu and the staff at Westbury Smile Center. Making an appointment was easy. Dr. Sandhu genuinely listens to her clients’ concerns, making her one of the kindest dentists in New York. She recommends treatments but is never pushy. The prices are comparable to or better than other local dentists, and they work well with a variety of insurance companies. The hygienist is very kind and helpful. I’ll be returning for years to come.

    Dr. Kaufman deserves to thumbs up. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by the very friendly front desk staff. The check-in process was very convenient because I had already completed the paperwork online. I was able to see Dr. Kaufman without having to wait. Overall, I am incredibly happy with the results I have received from my ZOOM whitening treatment. My teeth look 3 shades whiter now. I had a phenomenal experience thanks to the wonderful staff at Dr. Kaufman’s clinic. Everyone here is so kind, professional, and helpful. I will definitely be referring multiple friends and family members. Thank you Dr. Kaufman! I will be coming back for future treatments. This place definitely deserves five stars!

    I've been going to Dr. Borgella for almost a year and I could not be more satisfied. I originally went to them for a second opinion prior to a cap on a tooth cracked during a filling by another dentist. I had been prepared to get a cap, but Dr. Borgella instead repaired the molar. Since then, I've had 6-month check-ups and a few fillings at Dr. Borgella’s office ever since. Chair-side manner could not be better, and the office manager is also a dream... organized and professional. Final award goes to the dental techs... they are very thorough and as pain free as you can get examining teeth. They have all undoubtedly mastered the techniques at Reginald Borgella DDS. Dr. Borgella’s Bronx office has honed both the technical and personal skills needed to make a dental visit amazing.

    I’m a fairly new patient here, but I already love Dr. Aknouk. I’ve never had to wait, and when I had to bring my kids with me the team loves to keep them busy. Dr. Aknouk is kind and professional. He goes over my options with me going over the pros and cons of the different treatment plans. He also helped me figure out that I am allergic to certain crowns, which helped me get rid of my cold sensitivity. He is affordable and whenever I call about dental problems they’re able to get me in on the same day. I can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you need a dentist in the Bronx.

    Nobody actually likes going to the dentist. Personally, I detest x-rays because I have a strong gag reflex. Plus, I once had a traumatic experience at an out-of-state dentist. However, Dr. Mangiaracina and her staff make the process easy. My husband and I have been going here since we moved to Merrick. It’s the complete opposite of my previous experiences. Dr. Mangiaracina is incredible! She is personable and really knows how to put people at ease. The staff has lots of solutions for doing x-rays with ease. The injections and procedures are less painful as well. The staff is very friendly. They know my husband and I by name and even remember what we talked about at our previous visit. I love Dr. Mangiaracina. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

c
crown-fan-353

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on enhancing the aesthetics and appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry mainly concentrates on health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry places a strong focus on improving the visual appeal of the smile. It encompasses a range of elective procedures and treatments aimed at achieving an attractive and confident smile. Typical treatments included in cosmetic dentistry are: Cosmetic Dental Fillings: Tooth-colored (white) fillings made from composite materials to fix cavities while maintaining a natural appearance. Teeth Whitening: The process of lightening stained or discolored teeth to achieve brighter and whiter smiles. Dental Bonding: The application of a tooth-colored resin to repair or improve the aesthetics of teeth affected by chips, cracks, or gaps. Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, addressing issues like gaps, discolorations, or unevenness. Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps, typically made out of porcelain or ceramic, that cover damaged or discolored teeth, restoring their anatomy, size, and strength while improving their aesthetic appeal. Dental Implants: Surgically implanted titanium artificial tooth roots to support a single or multiple replacement teeth, providing a natural-looking and fully functional solution for missing teeth. Invisalign: A removable and discreet orthodontic treatment using a series of clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Orthodontic Treatments: Procedures like braces or ceramic braces or clear aligners to straighten misaligned or crooked teeth, improving their appearance and functionality. Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment processes combining different cosmetic procedures to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing new smile. Gum Contouring: Reshaping or re-contouring of the gum line to improve the appearance of the teeth, particularly when there is excessive gum exposure, short clinical crowns, or uneven gum levels. Cosmetic dentistry enables individuals to obtain their desired smile aesthetics, boosting their confidence and often improving their overall self-esteem.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
