Everything You Want to Know Before Your Visit

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your case and treatment length. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan and discuss affordable payment options, including monthly plans. Many insurance plans also offer partial coverage.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Yes, our in-office teeth whitening is safe, effective, and supervised by dental professionals. We also offer solutions for sensitive teeth and long-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products.

Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes! We accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Ameritas, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, MetLife, Principal Financial Group, United Concordia Dental, and UnitedHealthcare. Our team will gladly help verify your benefits before your appointment.

Do you offer payment plans or dental financing?

Absolutely! We offer flexible payment options through CareCredit and Cherry. There’s no minimum amount, and you may qualify for 0% interest financing with CareCredit when paid within the promotional period. Ask our front desk team for details.

Do you accept emergency appointments?

Yes, we welcome emergency dental visits for issues like tooth pain, broken teeth, or urgent extractions. Call us directly for same-day availability.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time depends on your smile needs but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after your free consultation and digital scan.

What’s the difference between Invisalign and braces?

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly, without wires or brackets. It’s often more comfortable and convenient for adults and teens.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most patients are! If you have missing teeth and healthy gums, dental implants can be a long-lasting solution. We also offer bone grafting if needed for implant support.

How much does a dental cleaning cost?

New patients can receive a comprehensive exam, X-rays, oral cancer screening, and cleaning for just $99. There are no additional fees or exclusions. Without the special, fees vary by case—just ask us for an estimate.

Is a consultation really free?

Yes! We offer free consultations for Invisalign, whitening, and other cosmetic treatments, including a digital smile scan to preview your potential results.

What’s included with Invisalign treatment?

Your Invisalign treatment includes a full digital scan, custom aligners, progress check-ins, and a set of post-treatment retainers. We'll walk you through every step to ensure your results are lasting and comfortable.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Results from professional teeth whitening can last several months to a year or more, depending on your lifestyle and touch-up routine. We also provide tips to help you maintain your brighter smile longer.

What’s the difference between veneers and whitening?

Whitening brightens your natural teeth, while veneers are custom shells that cover the front of your teeth to correct color, shape, or spacing. We’ll help you decide which is best during your consult.

How do I book an appointment?

Booking is easy! You can fill out our online form, call us directly, or visit our office in Hackensack. We offer flexible scheduling, including same-day and next-day appointments when available.

Is Invisalign painful?

Most patients experience mild pressure during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners, a sign they’re working. Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces.
