Ithaca, NY General Dentist. Serving Ithaca and Tompkins County with an emphasis on preventive dental care for over 40 years.
Our dental practice, through several transitions and continual growth, has served patients of all ages in the Ithaca community for over forty years. We are a general dentistry practice with a dedicated staff, an excellent team of dental hygienists and an emphasis on preventive dental care. A visit to the dentist is no longer just about checking for cavities. There have been incredible advances in the field of dentistry and we have responded by perpetually expanding our range of services.
As a general dental practice we perform most phases of dentistry. In the current environment of ever accelerating advances in dental technology and techniques, it is our intention that our patients will have the best treatment outcomes that are available. We regularly attend continuing education programs, provide digital radiography, soft tissue laser treatment when required, teeth whitening, Invisalign treatment, cosmetic procedures and restoration of surgeon placed implants. It has been our practice to stay abreast of new technologies but integrate them into our practice only when they have proven to be successful over time.
We recognize that no dentist should try to be all things to every patient; therefore, we try to focus on those procedures that we do best and maintain excellent working relationships with all the local specialists. When we feel their expertise will provide the greatest likelihood of long term success we do not hesitate to refer and will make all the necessary arrangements.
As a professional practice our only form of advertisement has been through the recommendations and referrals from satisfied patients. This has been our source of growth for several decades and ensures that we strive to provide superior care and excellent service at a reasonable price.
Our desire is that your experience with us from first phone call to final checkout be smooth, enjoyable and stress free. For more information or to make an appointment, please call us today.

If you are a patient of record there is always a dentist on call to manage after hours emergencies.
It is our pleasure to be able to provide the care required to maintain each of our patients in a state of optimal oral health and also provide cosmetic services that may be desired. We understand that the availability of even the finest care is inconsequential if it is unaffordable. Each patient’s dental condition is unique and the treatment that is right for you should be arrived at following an exam and a discussion of various options with your dentist.
Many patients today have some form of dental insurance. Most insurance plans cover only a portion of the cost of routine care. The benefits of any plan are determined by an agreement made between an employer and an insurance company and often have little to do with an individual’s actual dental needs. Although insurance can certainly be helpful in defraying the cost of care, we feel that treatment decisions should be arrived at following informed discussion between you and your dentist rather than dictated by the insurance company.
Insurance – If you have insurance we will do all we can to ensure that you receive the full benefit that your plan allows; however, we do not directly participate with any insurance plans. As a courtesy, our team will promptly process all insurance predeterminations and claims for you.
Payment Options – Ours is a fee for service practice and as such, payment at time of service is requested. For your convenience we accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Many patients also take advantage of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) through their employer which allows the cost of care to be paid for with before-tax dollars. We will also arrange payment plans in some circumstances if your dental needs exceed your immediate ability to pay. It is our desire that you receive the treatment you need now thus avoiding tooth loss or more costly treatment in the future.
If at any time you have questions about the cost of your dental care, please feel free to ask your doctor or member of our staff.
