Insurance companies love to proclaim that they cover 100% for any dental services. Let me begin by saying that unless the provider has agreed to be “in-network” that this is simply not true. (even then there are co-pays…)
I understand the enormous pressure that employees and employers feel when it comes to healthcare costs. It seems that rising healthcare costs are accompanied by rising premiums. Most of the time, our patients dental plans are supplemental to their health plans. But really how much are you paying each year for basic services?
67.5% of our clients come in for two cleanings and one set of x-rays per year. This is the basic preventative standard of care that we advise all patients to follow. ( Preventative measures will save you money in the long run!) On average the cost for these preventative services is from $250-$300 per year. I am writing this today to show you that you can go to your dentist and save money at the same time.
During my research I spoke with 25 different patients and they disclosed to me the cost of their dental policies. On average the patients maximums were $1000 per year. They all stated that they believed insurance company paid “100%”. They also felt that having insurance was the only way to gain access to a dentist. Continue reading

Background
Founded in 1958, Lake Avenue Dental Offices was opened by Dr. Vincent Tacci. Dr. Tacci was a wonderful dentist who always instilled the mentality that high quality care did not need to come at a great cost. Following this mentality he retired the practice to Dr. Romano in 1994. Dr. Romano sought to continue the business philosophy by hiring a Rochester native Dr.Darren Mascia. Together the two have doctors have succeeded in creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere for their patients! In 2009, the Lake Avenue office was sold and the two doctors opened a state of the art office called Ridgcrest Dental! The office is located at 550 Latona Rd in Greece NY.Philosophy
