With the proper care, your teeth can last a lifetime. Learn what your teeth need to look and feel their best for years to come by talking to your dentist today.

    Dr. Perry and his employees are amazing. 2 years ago, I inadvertently came across them when I urgently required a root canal. I left a message and I was called straight back by Dr. Perry. They were able to get me in straight away and tell me what to take in the meantime. I chose to fix my chipped front teeth after a few crowns and root canals. I got a ton of compliments on the job they did. After years of sheepishly hiding my smile in public, I really love how my teeth look. I've been back several times since seeing Dr. Perry. They remember my name even! I live without a car in the city, so it takes a little longer to get to the office across Medford, but it's worth the time it takes to get there. I strongly suggest them-you're not going to be unhappy!

    After doing my own research, I decided to go to Dr. Kaminsky. Having talked to four other dentists in the Syosset area, I was tired of being pressured to receive services I didn’t really need. 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. 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!

    As someone who normally fears all things dental, I am very relieved to have had such a great experience with Dr. Murphy. I was calm during the entire appointment. I appreciated that she took the time to go over each step of the procedure, explaining why it was important to have it done. She also performed a deep cleaning and started me on Invisalign. Also, Radiance Dental runs very punctually. Plus, they have great hours for someone who frequently works late in Scarsdale.

I have a feeling I made the right choice, simply based on the great dental care I received so far.

    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.

    I was having some tooth pain, so I needed to go see Dr. Kaufman. My appointment was at 3 p.m., and I was seen in less than 15 minutes. The assistant was incredibly personable and very helpful in showing me the correct way to floss and how to prevent my gums from bleeding. Dr. Kaufman and the ortho specialist were both great. They answered all my questions and took the time to find out exactly what the source of my pain was. I am so thrilled to have found this office.

    Everlasting Smiles Dental is amazing. They’re eco-friendly and provide gentle yet great dentistry with a relaxing atmosphere. If you are nervous about going to the dentist, check them out. I came here following a horrible experience with another dentist in Glen Oaks, NY, but I’ve been happy here ever since. If you need a referral to an endodontist, they have a great network of professionals ready and willing to help treat you. Dr. Afridi and his staff are so friendly and efficient. Read all the great reviews because they’re true, and schedule your appointment asap.

    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.

    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.

    My husband and I started going to Dr. Mangiaracina after moving to Merrick, NY from another state. Initially, we chose this practice because they were PPO with our dental plan. We’ve had incredible service since our first appointment. The service has been great. Appointments are on time and never canceled. They’re ready for you as soon as you come in, even if you’re the first appointment of the day. The receptionist and hygienists provide wonderful service as well. It’s always very convenient and easy to schedule an appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Mangiaracina and her entire staff.

What are dental dentures?

Dentures, often referred to as dental dentures, are removable prosthetic devices used to restore or replace missing teeth and surrounding soft tissues. They are custom-designed to fit a person's own mouth and restore both the looks and functionality of natural teeth. Dentures can be an acceptable option for individuals who have lost a few or all of their teeth due to many reasons, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or trauma (injury). There are the main types of dentures: 1. Complete Dentures: These are made whenever all natural teeth are missing in either the lower or upper jaw, or both. Complete dentures consist of a full set of artificial teeth secured on an acrylic base that mimics the looks and color of the gums. They are held in place through suction (surface tension) or denture adhesives. 2. Partial Dentures: They are utilized when at least a few natural teeth remain in the jaw. Partial dentures consist of fake teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework that is secured with metal clasps onto the existing teeth. They help fill in gaps (empty spaces) and prevent the remaining natural teeth from moving and shifting. Key points regarding dentures: • Customization: Dentures are crafted to match the shape, size, and color of the individual's natural teeth closely for a natural-looking smile. • Adjustments: It may take time for patients to get used to wearing dentures. Multiple follow-up and adjustments with the dentist are common to ensure appropriate fit and comfort. • Care: Dentures require regular cleanings to maintain oral hygiene. They should not be worn at nights and soaked in a denture solution or water. • Lifespan: Changes in the jawbone and gum tissue over time can affect the retention of dentures. Dentures usually need to be relined (re-based), or replaced periodically. Dentures provide a functional and somewhat cosmetic solution for patients with missing teeth. They allow them to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. It's crucial to consult with a dentist to determine the best type of denture based on individual needs and oral health situation.

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.
