Will my insurance cover cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or implants?
While purely cosmetic dental treatments like veneers are often not covered, insurance may contribute to procedures like crowns, bridges, and dental implants. We’ll help you determine what’s covered before starting treatment.
Do you accept PPO dental insurance plans in NYC?
Yes, we participate with a wide range of PPO insurance plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Aetna, Cigna, and more. PPO plans give you the freedom to choose your dentist and receive quality care with flexible coverage. Learn more about our insurance accepted.
Can I use my HSA or FSA for dental treatments?
Absolutely. Many of our patients use their Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to cover eligible procedures. We’ll provide the documentation you need for a seamless reimbursement process.
What happens if my procedure isn’t fully covered by insurance?
We offer flexible payment options and phased treatment planning to help make care more affordable. Our goal is to help you receive the dental care you need without financial stress.
How will I know what my insurance will cover before treatment?
Before your procedure, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of your insurance benefits and estimated out-of-pocket costs. We also submit claims on your behalf to simplify the process.
Do you accept DMO or Medicaid dental plans?
We are in-network with Aetna DMO. No Limits Dental is not currently in-network with Medicaid plans. However, we welcome patients with these plans on an out-of-pocket basis and welcome you to consider our VIP membership. We are happy to provide personalized recommendations for your care.
General Dentistry
Why is routine dental maintenance important? Even if I want cosmetic work?
A healthy smile is the foundation of any cosmetic treatment. Regular exams and cleanings help prevent gum disease, decay, and other issues that can affect both your health and the longevity of cosmetic work like veneers or crowns.
How often should I schedule a dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months, but we may recommend you come in every 3 months if we find there is persistent inflammation of the gums. These appointments remove buildup that brushing and flossing can’t, helping your teeth stay bright and your gums healthy between cosmetic treatments.
What’s included in a general dental check-up at No Limits Dental?
Every visit includes a personalized exam, digital X-rays (when needed), an oral cancer screening, a gum health evaluation, and a gentle cleaning. It’s about keeping your smile healthy, beautiful, and strong for years to come.
Will general dental care help my cosmetic results last longer?
Absolutely. Healthy gums and teeth are essential for the success and lifespan of cosmetic enhancements. Maintaining your oral health ensures your investment in your smile stays protected.
Are tooth-colored fillings part of your routine care?
Yes. We use natural-looking, composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your teeth. These are ideal for patients who care about aesthetics, even during basic restorative care.
Can you detect issues before they become a problem?
Yes. Preventive care helps us catch early signs of decay, grinding, or gum disease, usually before you notice any symptoms. Early intervention protects both your health and your cosmetic results.
Is general dentistry necessary if I take good care of my teeth at home?
Daily home care is essential, but it can’t replace the tools and expertise of a professional exam and cleaning. Our team can detect subtle issues and keep your smile in optimal condition between visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance, function, and balance of your smile. We look at not only each individual tooth but also how each tooth relates to the rest of the teeth and face. At No Limits Dental, we combine advanced technology with artistry to improve tooth shape, alignment, color, and symmetry— while restoring oral health.
What are the most popular cosmetic dental treatments?
Some of the most requested procedures include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants, and full smile makeovers. Dr. Nadia Rodriguez customizes each treatment to match your facial structure and goals.
Can cosmetic dentistry also improve my dental health?
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
Dr. Rodriguez begins with a one-on-one consultation and digital imaging to evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite. From there, she develops a personalized cosmetic plan based on your needs, preferences, and dental health.
Will insurance cover cosmetic dental treatments?
While most elective cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance, treatments that improve function, such as crowns, implants, or bridges may be partially covered. We’ll review your benefits and provide clear estimates before treatment.
How long do cosmetic results last?
With proper care, many cosmetic treatments can last 10 years or longer. Regular checkups, daily oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like grinding, biting nails or chewing ice help maintain your results.
What makes No Limits Dental different from other cosmetic dentists in NYC?
Dr. Nadia Rodriguez blends clinical precision with aesthetic vision. Her training from Cornell, NYU, and Rutgers, combined with a warm, multilingual (Spanish and Russian) approach, makes every patient feel seen, heard, and confident in their care.
Dental Implants & Tooth Replacement
What are dental implants and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They act as artificial roots and are topped with custom crowns that look and function like natural teeth. At No Limits Dental, we use the latest technology to ensure your implants are durable, aesthetic, and comfortable.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with adequate bone support and no active infections are candidates for implants. During your consultation at No Limits Dental, Dr. Nadia Rodriguez will assess your oral health and create a personalized plan to restore your smile.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more. They are considered the most long-term solution for tooth loss and offer superior stability and aesthetics compared to bridges or dentures.
Does dental insurance cover dental implants?
Many PPO plans like Delta Dental, MetLife, Aetna, partially cover dental implants, especially when the procedure is necessary for oral function. Dr. Rodriguez will help determine your coverage and file claims on your behalf to maximize your benefits. You can learn more about our accepted insurance on our insurance page.
What are the alternatives to dental implants?
Other tooth replacement options include dental bridges and removable partial dentures. While these can restore your smile, they may not offer the same stability or longevity as implants. We’ll help you understand which solution best suits your health, lifestyle, and budget.
How long is the recovery time after getting a dental implant?
Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two after implant placement. Full integration of the implant with the bone takes about 4-6 months, during which we closely monitor your healing. You’ll be comfortable and supported every step of the way.
Can I replace all my teeth with implants?
Yes, full-mouth reconstruction using implants is possible through solutions like implant-supported bridges or All-on-4 systems. This option is ideal for patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking alternative to dentures.
