Doctors Network

New York is known by many names, such as the Big Apple and the Empire State. It’s also known for being home to the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, a history of cultural and industrial innovation, and one of the country’s most diverse populations, among many other things. With Doctors Network, New York is also a leader in making good dental health a significantly more affordable necessity for families in all five boroughs. Doctors Network is comprised of dentists across New York and the country who believe affordable, high-quality dental health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, they’ve made it easier to afford by providing direct dental plans to help patients save significantly on the overall costs of their dental health care.

Doctors Network

With a population of over 19.7 million people, New York is the fourth most populous state in the country. For many of its residents (approximately 8.1%), a lack of insurance can make it difficult to ensure that they receive the high-quality dental care that New York has to offer. With Doctors Network, families across the state now have an alternative, direct plan that grants significant savings on every treatment their dentists offer. Checkup and cleaning appointments, which are essential to maintaining good oral health, are only $25 per visit, making it easier for patients to prevent issues that could eventually require more extensive treatment. All other procedures, including cosmetic teeth-whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, dental implants, and more, are provided at substantial discounts, sometimes by up to 90%. Patients who already have insurance can still benefit by signing up for a direct dental plan to help ensure that their out-of-pocket expenses do not skyrocket.

    I can't recommend Dr. Galdieri enough. They are such an incredible talent who is capable, professional and takes pride in all procedures. C K Galdieri replaced one of my teeth with an implant and did a great job. These implants are typically designed to last a lifetime and they treated the entire process as though he were replacing the tooth of their own local Elmwood Park family member. Dr. Galdieri and the entire C K Galdieri staff are awesome!

    We just came back after a short hiatus, and they made some improvements to the office. We ended up traveling around 30 miles one way to see Dr. Madelon Murphy at Radiance Dental. The way her staff greets us when we walk in the door to the moment we check out it feels like a family. And, they are always so punctual. We started out with the x-ray tech, who was very personable and kept us smiling with his jokes. You just cannot ask for better staff. The hygienist has to be the best in Scarsdale, NY. They took a few extra minutes to go over my habits and how to improve my dental health at home. If you haven't been by this location, do yourself a favor and do so. You will love how clean and well organized this dental practice is.

    I recently moved to the Bronx and was on the lookout for a great dentist. I found Dr. Borgella and will never go to another dentist. From the administrative staff to the dentistry staff, they were all kind, professional, and had great personalities that made the visit remarkable. Dr. Borgella sat down with me and walked me through my procedure and genuinely asked if I had any questions ahead of the procedure. Hands down one of the best dentist offices in the area!

    Dr. Wert is a great dentist in Washington Heights, NY. Everyone here, from the receptionist to the hygienist, is kind and easy to talk to. My appointment went longer than expected, but I didn’t mind because it gave me time to meet the staff and understand what they do in the office thoroughly. Dr. Wert listened to my questions and concerns, and he answered them thoroughly. He has a relaxed attitude, which I loved. The office is brand-new and has the latest and greatest in technology. You get to see your x-rays right way on a flat screen monitor from the dental chair. Dr. Wert spoke to me honestly and told me I need to floss more, which is something I already knew. The hygienist was also great, and I just had overall wonderful service. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment.

    I brought my 5 year old to this dentist in Harlem. I wanted her to go to a non-pediatric only dentist because pediatric dentists often use unnecessary medication for a simple teeth cleaning. I was nervous about how my son would do, so we watched fun Youtube videos showing kids going to the dentist and tooth cartoons. He was prepared and felt comfortable because of it, which was great because that meant no tantrum. I gave him some background info and it made him feel like a big boy, and the awesome dental hygienist helped me with that goal. She was very kind and gentle with my son. She showed him all the tools she was going to use, which made things easy. This place is truly the best. The other assistant and the dentist were great as well, My son listened to the assistants because they were all so nice. It was a great, easy experience. I can’t thank them enough. The front desk ladies were great as well, they were very kind and made my son feel great. They even gave him a balloon with his goodie bag, and when it popped they gave him 2 more and comforted him.

    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.

    I can’t say enough good things about Smile by Choice. They do great work and are great people. This dentist office in the Upper West Side, Manhattan was right down the street from my office, and so I started going here about 3 months ago. I now work downtown Manhattan, but I still come here for the great dental service. I love going to my cleanings twice a year. I’ve never missed a dental appointment. Smile by Choice is very high quality dentistry in New York, NY. They have vaulted ceilings that let in natural light, the latest and greatest in technology, and an awesome staff that is very nice and easy to talk to. Going to the dentist can often seem like a chore, but this class makes it easy and even dare I say enjoyable. You’ll always feel like you got the best cleaning here, which is often not the case. And it’s never painful. Scraping tools can often be unpleasant, but they use an ultrasonic cleaning method that is very calming. They even give you a warm towel when you’re done with your cleaning, which seemed very first class to me!

    Every part of the Shay Dental experience is positive. The friendly nature of the staff and doctor gives their patients a sense of ease and overall belonging. Dr. Shay works to foster a good relationship with his patients while still quickly attending to their needs. I have had multiple procedures done there, and every time he is very direct. They do not try to upsell you like many other businesses in New York. They do what needs to be done efficiently and honestly, with a real concern for their patients. My whole immediate family gets their work done there. The staff is very accommodating and efficient, especially when handling emergency situations. They also offer more specialist services in the office on certain days of the week, so you never have to worry about outsourcing other offices or services. The office workers are also very helpful financially. When insurance doesn’t cover a procedure, the staff doesn’t hesitate to explain the best course of action in paying off bills, and they are very understanding and realistic when it comes to what’s urgent and what’s not. They have been a huge help in paying for our dental procedures. I wouldn’t go to any other dentist and I tell all my friends and family to use Shay Dental. The studio is well-kept and up-to-date, the workers are friendly and welcoming, and the work itself is perfect.

Dr. Lerner even repaired some old dental work from a previous dentist simply because he knew it would help make me a bit more comfortable. I cannot think him and his staff enough. P.S. Dr. Lerner is incredibly gentle. Being in his dental chair was the first time I’ve ever been able to relax during a procedure.

    Dr. Ames treats our family of four including the recent addition of elementary school aged children who previously went to a pediatric dentist. The youngest required her first filling (and shot, yikes!) this week and Dr. Ames and staff at Queens Central Dental distracted her, cheered her up, and, believe it or not, there was not a sighting of even a single tear! They showed her their tools and explained in an age-appropriate way what they would do. They were even patient and answered all her questions. She was kept comfortable and laughed during the visit in spite of arriving at the office right in Jackson Heights. Personally, I've been a patient for over a year and am completely satisfied with the tooth repair I got a couple months back. I appreciate that all transactions are handled by the office staff so any billing inquiries are addressed firsthand, no need to reach out to a third party with any questions.

    I can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to going back to the dentist in 6 months. I went to Queens Dental Care after receiving a promotional flyer and reading some online reviews. I had an X-ray and comprehensive exam, including a consult with Dr. Sandhu. I received a referral to an oral surgeon and was able to book a cleaning. The hygienist used an anesthetic agent because I have very sensitive gums. The clean, cozy office and kind staff made this place worth the visit. I was also impressed that they have a membership option for patients like me who are without dental insurance. I love Queens Dental Care.

I’m no longer afraid of the dentist. This place is affordable too, which is great. They gave me a follow up call and answered all my questions, I can’t thank them enough.

    My daughter and I started going to Dr. Minkowitz in Maspeth a couple months ago. A couple friends recommended them, so I thought we’d give them a shot. We’ve been very satisfied so far. The front office staff is nice and helpful when it comes to scheduling around our busy schedules, billing insurance, and figuring out the headache that is payments. The hygienists always do a great job and give me great tips about my dental health. Dr. Minkowitz is very nice. I’ve gotten a couple crowns and other dental work done by him. It’s really been great. He even offered to give me a new mouth guard without charging me because he thought I might like a thinner one. My 10 year old daughter also loves this place. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

    I don’t normally write reviews online, but I had such an amazing recent visit at Soft Touch Dental Care in Forest Hills, NY that I wanted to tell people about it. I’m a regular patient at Soft Touch, but I usually only go in for routine cleanings. But this time I was in a lot of pain and needed help. I called on a Tuesday during after-hours and they got me in the next morning at 7:30 a.m.. The staff was very kind and gentle with me. Dr. Normatov has a very comfortable office. She is very caring and kind. I actually fell asleep in the chair, that’s how comfortable I was. She provides excellent care. I have zero pain now, and I didn’t have any pain while she was working on me. I can’t thank Dr. Normatov and her staff enough.

    If I could give more than 5 stars for this place, I would. This Rego Park dentist office is beautiful. The staff is very kind and professional. You won’t have to worry about your insurance or dental plans here. This place is almost like a spa, they have wax-hand dipped warming gloves and blankets for if their patients get cold. The dental hygienists are very friendly. Dr. Thomopoulos was great, she was thorough during my exam and took some photos so I could see the fillings I had before, but also a new cavity. She was willing to go through all my questions and was very careful with my teeth. I always hated going to the dentist, but now I feel completely at ease with Dr. Thomopoulos, she made me feel like I wasn’t just another patient, but rather a human being. I’ve referred her to everyone I know. I am a big fan of chapstick, and the free chapsticks here are awesome. Just another reason this place is awesome!

    I have been going to Lucky Dental in Rego Park, NY for quite a while now. I have been to a few different offices in the area, but none of them have been able to compare to Dr. Azbel. Everyone at this clinic has been so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make me comfortable during my visits, from cleanings to complex procedures. The gift bags they give after cleanings I tend to keep at my office, it makes for a great emergency stash. I have never been pushed into unnecessary work, and they always use top notch technology. They are very meticulous and gentle. The staff actually keeps up with me and asks about my family. They noticed a change in my paperwork and that I now wear a wedding band, and have frequently asked how everything is going. I cannot recommend this office enough.

    This is a great dentist in Oakland Gardens NY. They really care about their patients, you and your dental health are their number one priority. They are easy to talk to and want to get to know you and your dental health. This helps him understand what treatments you’ll need and how to prevent future issues. His staff is full of true professionals, and they’re all kind and knowledgeable. I recently had shoulder surgery and then went into the dentist a couple weeks later. I was so sensitive that even getting slightly bumped in the shoulder would cause severe pain. They really listened to my concern, and never bumped me, even though they were working on me for an hour. My comfort was their top priority, and my teeth look great thanks to them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist.

I liked that they gave me a quote and stuck with it. I received a crown the same day. It was high quality, and I didn’t have any pain. The hygienist gave me the best cleaning I’ve had in my life. Overall, it’s a very convenient place to go for all your dental needs.

    Dr. Kaufman has a wonderful team at his Uniondale practice! I love the layout of the office. The staff is very considerate of their patients’ needs; they offer convenient parking and flexible hours so that you can schedule your dental appointments around your other needs. Dr. Kaufman is very gentle and highly skilled. He has a great chair-side manner. Thanks to genetics, I have inherited a severe class III bite, and honestly speaking, Dr. Kaufman is the best dentist I've been to regarding the situation. Going to Dr. Kaufman has inspired me to take better care of my dental health. I will be a patient of his for as long as he is practicing. best of all, his prices are very affordable, and he works with you if there are financial issues so that you can get the treatment that you need. in addition to my special bite, I have a bunch of other dental needs. Dr. Kaufman has gone the extra mile to help me improve my smile. You can't beat the service you received from Dr. Kaufman. He is one of the best in New York!

    I didn't appreciate my smile when I was younger, and I was finally given a second chance at having a quality smile. Dr. Rosen gave me back my smile and my confidence in a social setting. The entire staff at his clinic in Cedarhurst, NY is just incredible; they make me so comfortable and make my dental health their top priority. Dr. Rosen can only be described as a miracle worker. I did not expect my teeth to be so rejuvenated again. Dr. Rosen presented me with my options for treatment. He promised me that he would do his best to save every tooth and give me back a smile I could be proud of. My anxiety was almost overwhelming, but the staff at this clinic took the time to ease my concerns, and I believe they genuinely care about my dental health. I cannot recommend this office enough, they did so much for my confidence. I appreciate Dr. Rosen and his staff so much for the effort they put into saving my smile. They were always so genuine and helpful to me. I cannot really put into words how much they mean to me. You just don't realize how much you miss smiling, until it's gone. I almost lost a lot of my teeth due to an incident, and I know they put so much effort into my wellbeing.

    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.

    What more can I say about Dr. Mangiaracina? I’m not a patient of hers, but I have become acquainted with her through multiple seminars and CE courses. I admire her professionalism and commitment to the field of dentistry. She willingly gives advice, and I strive to match her passion and caring bedside manner.

    Dr. Reznik and Big Apple Dental had been our dentist in Wyandanch, NY for a long time, so we trusted him. Change can be hard to handle, So when we moved we were sad that we might have to change dentist. But Dr. Reznik is such a great dentist, that we are willing to drive two hours. The office staff is very is very kind and knowledgeable. I’ve had the same hygienist for a while now, and that’s what really matters to me because that is all I really need normally. I’m very lucky that Dr. Reznik is on this dental plan because then my routine cleanings and x-rays are only $25.00!

    My friend referred me to Dr. Khalil at Albert A. Khalil DDS in South River, NJ. My friend saw him for an emergency tooth extraction, and he has been bragging about his awesome dentist ever since! I’ve been looking for a new dentist anyway because my usual one is retiring. I’m so happy I found Dr. Khalil! He and his hygienists are awesome at their jobs. Not too long ago, I needed all of my wisdom teeth pulled out, so I was pretty anxious. But Dr. Khalil made everything go much better than anticipated! He made sure I was relaxed before he began and told me what he was doing step by step. He extracted all four teeth in record time and ensured that I experienced no pain. Afterwards, he called me to follow up and remind me of my aftercare. A few days later, he called me again to ask how I was doing. I was truly amazed! He treated me more like a friend, not just another patient! The front office staff was very considerate and warm. I have a hectic work schedule, so I always need to schedule my cleanings at the last minute or switch my appointment time, which they’ve had no problem with at all. If you need to switch to a new dentist, make sure it’s to this practice!

What is a dental filling?

d

A dental filling or a tooth filling is a common dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by tooth decay, also known as cavities or caries. This procedure involves the removal (excavation) of the decayed portion of the tooth and the replacement of the preparation with the ideal filling material. The goal of a tooth filling is to restore the function, integrity, and shape of the tooth, and to prevent further tooth decay. There are several types of filling material that can be utilized, including: 1. Amalgam (silver or metal) fillings: Amalgam fillings, AKA silver fillings, are made from an alloy of metals that include mercury, tin, silver, and copper. These fillings are very strong and durable and have been used for several years. However, they aren't as aesthetically pleasing as other types and may not be used for visible front teeth. 2. Composite (tooth colored) fillings: Composite fillings, AKA white fillings, are made of a mixture of plastic and glass. These fillings can be closely matched to the color of your teeth, making them a very aesthetically pleasing option. They are used in front teeth as well as posterior teeth (molars). 3. Gold fillings: Gold fillings are made from a mixture or alloy of gold, copper, and other precious metals. They are very durable, and long-lasting but are also more expensive than other fillings types. 4. Ceramic fillings: Ceramic fillings are made up of a mixture of ceramic materials and can be closely matched to the color of your teeth. They are comparatively expensive, but they are also strong and durable. The dental filling procedure typically begins with an examination of the diseased tooth by a dentist. They will examine the tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the decay. The dentist will numb the area around the tooth with local anesthetic (Novocaine). Then the dentist will use special dental tools to remove the decayed part of the tooth. Once the decay has been excavated (removed), the tooth will be cleaned and prepared for the filling material. The dentist will place the filling substance in the tooth preparation and shape it to the correct form and shape. If a composite (white) filling is used, it will be hardened with a special curing light. The dentist will then polish the filling down to ensure that it is smooth and comfortable while chewing. After the procedure, the tooth may be slightly sensitive to temperature and pressure for a number of days. This sensitivity is usually transient and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (NSAIDs). It's crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist such as avoiding hard or crunchy foods for the first hour, avoiding biting on the fresh filling for a while, and generally maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure that the filling lasts a long time. To summarize, a dental filling is a dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by caries. The procedure involves the removal of the decay and the restoration of that area with a filling material. There are multiple types of filling materials that can be used, including amalgam (silver), composite(tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic fillings. The procedure usually involves numbing the area around the tooth and using special tools to remove the decayed parts of the tooth. After the filling procedure, the tooth may be sensitive to hot or cold and pressure for a few days, but this should be temporary. Follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist, and if the sensitivity does not dissipate after a couple of weeks, let your dental professional know.

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.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
