Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most families have to watch their budgets these days.

We understand!

That is why we work with a number of popular dental insurances to help you get the care you and your family need to stay healthy.

Our team is great at submitting claims in a timely fashion and sending any follow-up information necessary to help you maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

Some of the insurance companies we work with include:

• Aetna
• Assurant
• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Cigna
• Delta
• Dental Savings Plan
• Fidelio
• Horizon
• United Concordia

If you do not see yours on the list, just give us a call. We can determine your benefits for you and help you plan your treatment.

In the event that your insurance company does not cover some of your dental expenses, we offer flexible payment options to help you afford your dentistry. We also offer patient financing through CareCredit for those patients who want to break down their expenses into monthly payments.

Dental insurance is rarely a catch-all for dental expenses these days. With maximums and deductibles, the cost of your treatment can be confusing to navigate. Let us help you find a way to keep your smile looking and feeling great!

Many of our patients want to improve their smiles, but cosmetic dentistry seems out of reach.

Dr. Craig Weinstein provides many treatment options to address the problems with your smile that you are most concerned with. Many of them are far more affordable than you might think.

The first step to improving your smile will be scheduling a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Weinstein. You will have an opportunity to ask questions, express your concerns, and share what you would like to improve about the way you look. 

Next, a comprehensive dental exam will allow us to determine if you are healthy enough for cosmetic dentistry. Your teeth and gums need to be healthy for all dental treatment because healthy teeth and gums allow for the best possible outcomes,

Dr. Weinstein will create a treatment plan with all of your options and help you decide which treatments are right for you. Once you select your treatment options, we can schedule your appointments and help you achieve a smile that gives you confidence in all you do.

A beautiful smile is a true asset in every area of life. It is never too late to improve your appearance and enjoy the smile of your dreams.

We look forward to helping you during this exciting time. Give us a call to learn more.

If you have ever seen someone smile and noticed the dark lines around their teeth from their dentistry, you might be turned off by the idea of getting the dental crowns you need to protect your smile.

When our patients have restorative dentistry, one of their first questions is whether someone will be able to see their dentistry when they laugh, speak, or smile. Fortunately, with today’s advanced dental materials, Dr. Craig Weinstein is able to create dentistry that looks just like your natural teeth. The shade, shape, and size will complement your existing natural teeth, giving you a seamless look.

One of the most popular and effective restorative procedures we offer is all-porcelain crowns. All-porcelain crowns eliminate the dark margins from your teeth by eliminating the need for metal.

Porcelain crowns are highly esthetic. Dr. Weinstein will create each of your crowns individually, giving you a completely natural appearance. Though we have eliminated the need for metal, you can count on your crowns' durability and the comfort they provide to damaged and cracked teeth.

If you want to learn more about protecting your smile without metal restorations, just give us a call! We love creating beautiful smiles!

Facing an extraction can be a traumatic experience, but you don’t have to do it alone!

Dr. Craig Weinstein would never recommend a dental extraction unless it was necessary to protect your health because extractions are usually our last resort. We always try to save your natural teeth whenever possible.

If you are facing a dental extraction, we can often provide treatment here in our Fords, NJ dental office without the need for a referral. Dr. Weinstein ensures that our patients are comfortable for their treatment and follows up on afterward to monitor the results. We are here for you.

We will also provide a number of tooth-replacement options for you to choose from that will restore your smile and allow you to eat and speak properly.

We offer:

Dental implants – one of the best ways to replace a missing tooth because they offer both health and cosmetic benefits for our patients.

Fixed dental bridge – a common choice for patients seeking an alternative to implant dentistry.

Partial dentures – for patients missing multiple teeth.

Complete dentures – for patients missing all their teeth on their upper or lower arch.

If you have questions about your recommended dental extraction or what to do to protect your smile after treatment, just give us a call!

We understand if you feel a little anxious about your dental appointment. Many people have had a negative experience in the past or have fears about pain when it comes to their dental procedures. 

Our team takes great pride in turning those worries around!

Our friendly and professional team makes each experience a special one for our patients. We get to know you and your family because we know it is important to build a long-term relationship based on trust.

Dr. Weinstein is gentle, and our patients often comment on how easy their treatment was!

We designed our office with you in mind and have included many little comforts for you to enjoy such as hot chocolate on a chilly day.

If you need a little additional help in the relaxation department, we do offer the safest form of sedation, nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is easy to control during your treatment, so Dr. Weinstein can ensure that you receive just the right amount to help you feel comfortable.

Nitrous oxide leaves your system quickly, so you will not need to arrange a ride home from your appointment.

We invite you to come in and meet us. We believe that you will notice the difference in the personalized care that we provide from your very first visit.

We realize that most people would be just about anywhere than in the dental chair. When Dr. Weinstein became a dentist and joined this practice, he wanted to make the patient experience different.

Not only does he provide outstanding dentistry and maintain the highest professional standards for himself and our team, he also wants to make each visit a positive experience for every patient who walks through our door.

Have you have ever been to the dentist and felt rushed or like you were just another set of teeth? Think of us as the opposite of that experience!

Our goal is to provide the best dentistry and make sure each patient feels valued and understood.

We take our time. We want you to have an opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you might have.

We value our role in the Fords, NJ community and know that we can provide you with the best care by getting to know you, your smile, and your family. By learning about you, we can help you meet your goals for your smile and your oral health.
