Long Island Periodontist, Long Island Dental Implants

WELCOME TO OUR OFFICE
Thank you for choosing Dr. Sachs's office for your periodontal and implant care. We take great pride in our staff, office and facilities, and feel that it is our responsibility to provide the finest periodontal and dental implant care available. Perhaps your dentist has just referred you to a periodontist or you are just curious about the various health implications of periodontal disease. We hope this site will provide you with a comprehensive resource to learn about periodontal disease, dental implants and the dental practice of Dr. Henry Sachs, a Long Island periodontist since 1985.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Choosing a doctor/dentist is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible. Someone willing to take the time to go over all of your options and treat you as a person, not just a patient. At our practice, we pride ourselves on our patient service. We offer a knowledgeable staff, safe and proven procedures, and the latest in medical technology. We've created this web site for both new and current patients. It includes specific information on our practice and our Dr. Sachs.

We believe people desire to keep their teeth for a lifetime, and replace teeth that have been lost with life like replacements. Our goal is to help you attain the highest level of dental health which you choose to reach. We will help you attain this level of health at whatever speed you desire, and hope that by attaining the highest level of dental health, you will come to realize the joy of a pleasing, comfortable and functional smile. We will always present the most ideal plan of treatment for your specific situation and needs; remember, however, that "ideal" does not mean "the only". We believe you should always be aware of the best that modern dentistry can do for you, and are always eager to discuss with you all the options for dealing with your care.

EXAMINATION AND CONSULTATION
Following the initial examination of your mouth, we shall discuss our findings with you, and coordinate your therapy with your general dentist. If you do not have a dentist, we will be pleased to recommend one that is sensitive to your particular needs.

APPOINTMENTS
We strive to maintain a prompt schedule so that you will not have to wait when you arrive for your appointment, and will try to complete your treatment in as short a period of time as possible. If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you give us at least 48 hours notice. This courtesy makes it possible to release your appointment time to another patient who desires to see the doctor, and is greatly appreciated.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Our office strives to control bookkeeping and billing expenses. We therefore request payment at the time of each treatment. Payment of fees is arranged with our office administrator who has full responsibility and authority for making these arrangements. Be sure to ask about our 12 month no interest financing. If you have dental insurance, we will be happy to help you with insurance submission, and accept assignment of benefits for certain plans. Prior to treatment, we will submit a diagnosis and a proposed treatment plan (pre-treatment estimate). We will work with you to assure that you receive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.
