Your Out-of-Network Benefits Unlock Exceptional Care

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 as a private practice with out-of-network adult providers we are free to deliver a level of care that 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 out-of-network benefits is straightforward: we always file claims and work with insurance for you. If requested, we gladly seek a benefit estimate, though estimates are not guarantees.

01

Share Your Insurance Info

Share your plan details when you book. Dr. Tanna is our only in-network provider; all other providers work with eligible benefits out of network.

02

We File Your Claim

After your visit, we file the claim directly with your carrier so you can receive the out-of-network benefits available under your plan.

03

Estimates Upon Request

Ask us to verify benefits and request an estimate from your carrier. Estimates are not guarantees, and coverage remains the patient's responsibility.
