Doctors Network

Residents of New Jersey know about closeness. Though the state takes up less than 9,000 square miles, it is home to over 8.9 million people, giving it the highest population density in the country (over 1,000 people per square mile). As the only state whose cities are all classified as metropolitan areas, residents of New Jersey know that taking good care of themselves is especially important to maintaining a healthy quality of life. For many people, the high costs of dental health care can make that challenging, but with the help of Doctors Network, local dentists can now mitigate that challenge for all New Jersey families. Through Doctors Network, patients can sign up for direct dental plans that, unlike insurance, can guarantee significant discounts on every treatment and procedure that their dentists offer.

Doctors Network

For most residents in New Jersey, dental insurance can help keep the costs of routine preventive care manageable, depending on the specifics of their plan. However, for those with inadequate insurance coverage, as well as for the 10% of residents who have no insurance at all, dental health care costs can quickly add up, especially when cosmetic, restorative, or prosthetic procedures are required. Direct dental plans from Doctors Network are designed to supplement existing insurance plans, or to provide an alternative for patients who do not have insurance. The plans ensure that all patients can receive the quality care they deserve at much more reasonable prices. For instance, checkups and cleanings are only $25 per visit, including X-rays when needed, as well as up to 90% discounts on all other services, such as fillings, crowns, dental implants, Invisalign® clear braces, and more.

    Excellent service at Reginald Borgella DDS! Friendly and professional staff at upon entry. Knowledgeable, friendly dentists. I appreciate that everything is explained to me so that I understand what's going on can understand the best way to move forward for treatment. Bonus points that it seems everyone employed at Dr. Borgella’s (from what I've seen so far) is highly trained. I recently saw Dr. Borgella and he was the best dentist I’ve seen in Bronx - thorough, friendly, and caring.

    I woke up a few days ago with an awful pain coming from my wisdom teeth. Since I am new to the Scarsdale, NY area, I turned to online reviews to attempt to locate a competent dentist. Ironically, Dr. Murphy at Radiance Dental was just down the road from me and seemed to have a ton of great reviews. I made my appointment and came in within two hours of my phone call. I arrived ten minutes before my appointment, and they got me back within the time it took for me to complete my paperwork. I was ushered back and immediately was seen by the x-ray technician. That process only took a few minutes. Lastly, Dr. Murphy just has an incredible personality. She is so friendly, upfront, and punctual. She goes out of her way to save you money by trying to stay within the limits of your insurance. The hygienist was very thorough and patient, and my teeth and gums have never felt better. I recommend this office to everyone I come across.

The wait time is never long here, and they use the newest and greatest dental technology.

    I hadn't been to the dentist in a while so I was a bit nervous when I went to Dr. Galdieri. Was better than okay though; C K Galdieri made me feel SO comfortable and walked me through each step one by one. I was put at ease right from the get-go; everyone is so warm and caring. The team at C K Galdieri is absolutely great! They are honest and caring. I am very picky with my dentist, but I am so at ease with C K Galdieri since I know I can trust them completely, more than anyone else in the Elmwood Park area. I know a lot of people feel nervous about going to the dentist, but with Dr. Galdieri and the team at C K Galdieri, I feel so so comfortable! I highly highly recommend C K Galdieri for everything from the simplest to the most complex procedures. They are #1!

    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.

    This place is awesome, I always feel comfortable when I’m here. The entire staff and Dr. Aknouk are great. You can really tell they love their jobs. I’ve had Dr. Aknouk put in my gold inlay replaced my old silver fillings with porcelain computer-made filling. They’re both very friendly. I had an emergency a couple months ago when my daughter had her front tooth knocked out and Dr. Aknouk came in on his day off to do a root canal on her. This clinic is wonderful, I would highly recommend it and won’t be going anywhere else.

    I have been a patient at this practice for a while now, way before Dr. Choi took over the practice. I can honestly say I’m very satisfied with the work she does. She’s very personal, she always remembers what’s going on in her patients’ lives. She recommended Invisalign for me, and she was a great help with that, along with all the regular cleanings and fillings she’s done for me. The clinic’s staff and Dr. Choi are very knowledgeable and friendly. They’re always on time and keep billing matters simple. When I had a toothache 2 years they were able to see me right away. I would recommend Dr. Choi and her staff at Smile by Choice to anyone.

    This is my second trip to Armstrong Dental Studio for more than just a regular cleaning. This time I had a root canal and crown done on the same tooth, but no worries, it was completely pain free! They all did great checking up on me, even Dr. Armstrong himself called me the next day. He was awesome about checking on how I was doing during the entire process. All the staff is amazing and personable, so welcoming and happy to help. Nice dentist to have here in New York!

    I highly recommend Dr. Lerner's office. I have gone here for both regular teeth cleanings and fillings. I haven’t felt pain during any of my appointments. Previously, I had multiple bad experiences going to other New York dentists, but Dr. Lerner and his staff were so kind and so comforting that I was no longer apprehensive of my regular dental care. I’ll be going back to this practice for years to come.

    I didn't know what to expect going to the dentist in the US, I just moved here from Russia and to my surprise it was great. I made an appointment for the earliest time available. Came in with little to almost no wait time and was able to explain my situation/tooth concerns without feeling uncomfortable. I never once felt judged or pressured into making any decision. After my appointment, the doctor went over with me a personalized treatment plan they had drafted to decide what should be done next. I will definitely be back soon.

But my time at Dr. Cosentino was the best experience I’ve ever had. Much better than my old dentist in Corona, NY. Everyone here was kind, nice, and very honest with what I needed. 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.

    My first visit to Elite Dental was an emergency. My partially erupted wisdom tooth had swelled the whole right side of my face. Ugh! I was miserable and scared. I had no idea how my appointment would go when I walked in, but I was very pleasantly Surprised. The waiting room was inviting, the staff friendly and sympathetic, and Dr. Isakharov got me all fixed up very quickly. I had thought it would be a lot more painful, but it really wasn’t! And let me tell you, I don't like to feel pain! It was all over before I knew it. I highly recommend this place to anyone living near Rego Park! I plan on going back to them for regular care.

    I really needed a new dentist when I found this place, I took a chance and I’m so glad I did. The office is spotless and organized. It is small, but I don’t mind that. They treat you like an individual here, and they aren’t worried about treating as many patients as possible. They treat you like a human being. The front office staff is helpful and nice. They will call you to remind you about your upcoming appointment and will even do a follow-up call a couple days after your appointment. Dr. Normatov is awesome. I came in for a deep cleaning and a checkup and she was very professional and easy to talk to, which made me feel comfortable and satisfied with the service I received. She did the cleaning herself, which is something I wasn’t expecting. We even got to talk about food. Again, she’s easy to talk to and really knows her stuff. I’m actually excited to go back and see her.

    A co-worker recommended Dr. Thomopoulos when I moved to Rego Park in 2017, and I love it there. They truly care about their patients and make sure your comfortable when you’re getting your dental work done. A filling that was less than 6 months old broke one day and I was able to schedule an appointment with them almost immediately. The hygienists are very nice and easy to talk to. The hygienist seems to truly care about my health, she has given me a lot of advice on how to make sure my teeth stay healthy and how to avoid plaque and tartar build up in troublesome areas. Anyone in Rego Park should come to Dr. Thomopoulos!

I came across Dr. Azbel at Lucky Dental, and this is now my permanent dentist office. They went out of their way to make me comfortable and took the initiative to educate their patients. The staff did such a great job working with my dental insurance, Delta Dental of New York, that I walked out without owing them a cent.

    Who would think that going to the dentist would actually be fun? I had a great experience at this office from the time I made the call to make my first appointment. The staff seemed pleasant, friendly, and considerate. Scheduling my appointment was easy, and they were so nice when I had to reschedule a couple of times. Dr. Kalyanaraman of G.K. Raman DDS in Brooklyn, NY is a Godsend. I knew when I met him that I’d made a great choice. I’ve never had a dentist that was so perceptive of my feelings and so considerate. Dr. Kalyanaraman thoroughly explained everything he was doing, and he kept checking to be sure I was alright. I was really impressed with his professionalism. His gentle approach made me relax even though I’ve had several different and difficult procedures. I really appreciate the way that all the members of their entire team treat each other so respectfully. I actually look forward to visiting their office, and I feel so lucky that I’ve found my dream dentist.

    I’m terrified of the dentist, so I’d rather do just about anything else. Though I still don’t like going to my dental visits, Everlasting Smiles Dental is the best dentist near me, and I’ve been to a lot of them! In my previous experiences, I either discovered a fantastic staff with a horrible dentist or a great dentist with a terrible hygienist and office staff who made you feel like a burden. But Dr. Afridi’s dental practice is the best of both worlds. The staff is so friendly and kind, and the super-professional hygienists put your comfort first. The receptionist/bookkeeper always helps me navigate my insurance and what I owe as well as scheduling appointments. All the great reviews are true. Though I did wait a little bit, I’ve had to wait longer at other places, and I guarantee they only made me wait because patients weren’t coming in on time, which will push back all the other appointments after it. Or maybe Dr. Afridi was tending to an emergency and wanted to make sure his patient was being taken care of. I would happily wait a long time if needed just to get the high level of service and dental care this place has to offer, knowing that once I get in the dental chair, they won’t rush me out to keep on schedule. They help keep my dental health in check while making me feel comfortable the whole time. That’s absolutely worth the wait! Seriously, the best dentist in Glen Oaks, NY.

    I usually hate going to the dentist and had avoided it for a long time. But when I finally went I went to see Dr. Kucher because I heard he did awesome implants, which was something I thought I needed. He and his staff were very gentle. They went through everything with me and he gave me a pamphlet that explained everything. I decided to make an appointment because of how kind they all were when I just walked in. His top priority was making sure I was comfortable and that I was in zero pain. It went by really quickly and the implants look wonderful. I feel very confident in my smile now. I would recommend this place to anyone in Livingston, NJ.

    If I could give Dr. Babayev and BH Franklin Dental more than 5 stars, I would. Every appointment is a pleasant experience. I had major tooth pain one evening. Thankfully, Dr. Babayev was able to tend to me right away. I hadn’t been to the dentist in several years, so I was very anxious that I would be in a great deal of pain. However, Dr. Babayev took the time to explain everything to me. I had an infected tooth, and the infection had spread to two other teeth. I needed all three teeth pulled and two bone graphs. I didn’t feel any pain during the entire procedure, and I appreciated that the office called to check on me later that day. Since then, I have referred multiple friends and family members to BH Franklin Dental. They’ve all had great experiences too. I am now a patient for life. I couldn’t imagine going to another dentist. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that their patients are comfortable. It’s very easy to schedule appointments. Everyone is kind and easy to talk to. I am highly satisfied.

    When I told my friend that my dentist in Brooklyn was about to retire she recommended Dr. Grinberg. As someone who hates the dentist, I was a bit nervous. I don’t handle anesthetics well and I’ve had some bad experiences with dentists in the past. I’ve had root canals, cavities, and crowns. He was knowledgeable, gentle, and friendly. He gave me some great tips to improve my dental health, and he is much more up to date with his knowledge about technology and procedures than my former dentist. The office staff is kind and they helped me figure out all the Doctors Network stuff so that I didn’t have any surprise. I would recommend Dr. Grinberg to anyone!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Sebold for over a year could not be more satisfied. When entering the office for the first time it was incredibly pleasant. Dr. Sebold’s dental office has never had a wait time and the hygienists are extremely professional and pleasant. Dr. Sebold doesn't try to push unnecessary upsells and the dental filling procedure was painless. The support staff bill accurately, and always check in advance on procedures to make sure your insurance will cover everything. I can't say enough about this great dentist as I don't have to even think about looking for another dentist. I searched for years for a dentist like this, and haven’t found a better option in Brooklyn .

    I am so impressed with Dr. Rchard Kaufman. I suppose I am one of those rare people that likes to go get their teeth worked on. For me, nothing feels better than having clean teeth. I also like knowing that when I go to Dr. Kaufman's office I will be dealing with a highly-skilled dentist and personable staff. They do great work and work very closely with your insurance provider. it's a very stress free dental practice located in Uniondale, NY. I will be a patient for life!

    Throughout my entire appointment, both Dr. Rosen and her dental hygienist were very thorough. I was always informed of what was about to take place, the cost, and exactly how it would benefit my dental health. Thank you so much for your incredible customer service; I look forward to coming back for my six month appointment.

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but I've always found Dr. Amir to be very kind and quick to answer my questions. I'm very happy with the work that Dr. Amir has done for me. When I had horrible tooth pain and contacted the office, I was given a same-day appointment. I would recommend Dr. Amir to anyone in Brooklyn looking for a dentist.

    I recently moved to Levittown, NY, but after doing my research I am happy I found a great dentist. Island Smile Dental is great. The front office person is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional. I have my first appointment next week, and I am actually excited about it. I have a feeling I made the right choice, simply based on the great dental care I received so far.

    I actually feel at home when I have my dental appointments with Dr. Mangiaracina. I normally dread going to the dentist, but I’ve finally found a practice with a friendly staff who actually make appointments enjoyable. I’m still a relatively new patient, but somehow they make me feel like I’ve been going there forever. I love being greeted as soon as I come in. Plus, the service is top notch every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Mangiaracina. I love the atmosphere, and my smile looks great after each visit. I can’t wait to come back!

    I’ve only been here for a checkup but I’m already very impressed with Big Apple Dental. I was running late, so they only had time for the checkup and told me to come back for the cleaning, but I still can’t believe how caring they were, they really took time to listen to my questions and concerns. The dentist in Wyandanch was very thorough when he went through my x-rays, he explained everything that was going on with my mouth. The hygienist was great too, he went through everything with me, and especially explained the effects of my teeth grinding to me. I never knew I grind my teeth at night, but it helped me realize the cause of a lot of the issues I was having with my teeth. The staff could tell I was anxious so they tried to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Everyone there was very detail oriented and caring. I love this place, and I am actually looking forward to going back, which is weird to say about the dentist.

    I had an emergency dental appointment during my vacation, which was awful. On the plane to South River, NJ, my crown fell off. As soon as I got off the plane, I started searching Doctors Network for recommendations. Dr. Khalil was so sweet and warm, and he made me feel so comfortable. He cleaned my crown, made sure the tooth underneath was alright, and then put it back in place. He also emailed my dentist back home my digital xray. He really didn’t need to do that, but he did it because he’s so kind! Plus, the digital xray gives you less radiation exposure than a traditional xray. The entire experience was incredible, and I was able to enjoy the remainder of my vacation, including all the yummy food! The least I can do is write this awesome review - I’m so thankful for Albert A. Khalil DDS!

What is a dental filling?

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.
