The Private Practice Difference

North Shore Dental Group is one of the top private dental practices in the state of New York. Patients come to us from across Long Island, New York City, and the Tristate area — regardless of insurance status — because a private practice delivers a level of care that corporate and insurance-driven offices simply cannot match.

01

Highest Quality Care

As a private practice, our clinical decisions are driven by what is best for you — not by what an insurance company will reimburse. We use the finest materials, invest in advanced technology, and take the time every case deserves. No cutting corners, no compromises.

02

Highly Educated Providers

Our doctors trained at Harvard, NYU, Columbia, and Tufts. They are board-certified specialists, published researchers, and clinical professors. A private practice attracts and retains the caliber of provider who is committed to excellence — not volume.

03

No Corners Cut to Match Insurance Fees

Insurance-driven practices often reduce chair time, use cheaper materials, or limit treatment options to stay within reimbursement rates. At North Shore Dental Group, we never adjust our standard of care based on what insurance will pay. You get the treatment you deserve — every time.

Whether you have insurance, out-of-network benefits, or prefer to pay privately, every patient at North Shore Dental Group receives the same exceptional care from our team of specialists. That's the advantage of choosing a top private practice.

How It Works

Using your dental benefits at North Shore Dental Group is straightforward. We take care of the paperwork so you don't have to.

01

Share Your Insurance Info

When you book your appointment, share your insurance details with us. We verify your benefits before you arrive so you know exactly what's covered.

02

We File Your Claim

After your visit, we file your claim directly with your insurance carrier. No forms for you to chase down, no paperwork to worry about.

03

No Surprises

We walk you through your coverage beforehand so you understand your benefits. You'll know what to expect before any treatment begins.
