This form of dentistry brings a world of knowledge and experience to the privacy of your home or other convenient location.

What Is Teledentistry?
From ordering contact lenses to preparing taxes, we can access many of the services we use in our daily lives online. Virtual dentistry allows oral care providers to move toward a similar level of convenience and innovation. It consists of virtual visits and online consultations with dentists. Patients can talk to a dentist online.
What Service Is Included With Teledentistry?
Dentistry is a hands-on health service. Unlike some easy-to-treat medical conditions, dental issues often require physical care from one of our leading professionals. For instance, tooth decay isn’t healable with an antibiotic. Please understand that there are many limitations to what we can offer as online dentists.
209 NYC Dental offers the following services available for a virtual online consultation:
- Cosmetic Dentistry Consultation with Dr. Ifraimov
- Invisalign Consultation with Dr. Ahn
- Sleep Apnea Consultation with Dr. Nikitayev
How Can I Book a Teledentistry Visit?
- You can call the office at 646-493-6891 or request your consultation online.
- If requesting online, please select an appropriate reason for your teleconsult.
- The office will contact you to confirm your virtual appointment.
- You will receive an invitation to a Google meeting with the link to your scheduled remote appointment.
- If you are new to our practice, please complete the New Patient Forms before your appointment. The doctor cannot start your virtual visit unless we have your completed new patient forms, so we will need to reschedule your appointment.
- Remote consultations have to be prepaid.
How Much Does a Consultation Cost With an Online Dentist?
Our fee for a teledental consultation is $75. The fee has to be paid prior to your visit. You can do so by paying online or by calling the office. Our receptionist will call you to collect the payment prior to your visit if we haven’t received it.
- FSA & HSA cards can be used to pay for the visit.
- This fee will be applied to your related in-office visit.
- If you have dental insurance please complete our Insurance Information Form. We can bill your insurance on your behalf so you can get the reimbursement if your insurance covers virtual dentistry.
Benefits of Teledentistry
Online dental consultations are ideal for people who live far away from a dental office, do not have a primary dentist, or cannot make it into the office. Remote dental services offer a wealth of benefits for patients, including:
- Convenience: Many patients already use mobile devices and computers to search for information related to healthcare. Through these devices, teledental care allows online dentists to provide easy initial consultations for specific dental needs.
- Meet & greet: We have patients traveling from all around the US to address their dental needs. A teledental visit is an easy way to meet a doctor and discuss your dental needs and wants prior to booking your flight from Texas or Arizona.
- Social Distancing: When you talk to a dentist online, you receive the same level of care as you would in the office. Seeing a virtual dentist just makes the process simpler and more comfortable.
- Saving Time: Ditch the traffic and busy waiting rooms. Virtual dentistry lets you address dental concerns for superior peace of mind without disrupting your daily schedule.
FAQs
1. Can you see an online dentist for tooth pain?
Yes. A virtual dentist isn’t advisable for dental emergencies. However, this visit can benefit those wanting to assess why tooth pain is happening. Virtual dentistry can allow a dentist to recommend over-the-counter solutions or home-based treatments that could eliminate dental discomfort.
2. Is teledentistry effective?
Absolutely. Remote dentistry allows online dentists to meet with patients in a convenient setting. Remotely evaluating a patient’s concerns can also help the patient save time normally spent traveling to a dentist’s office. The information learned during a virtual visit can serve as the foundation for future in-office cosmetic, orthodontic, and other treatments.
3. Will my dental insurance cover an online dentist?
As online dentistry continues to gain popularity, more insurance providers are covering virtual dental visits. Our knowledgeable insurance professionals can review your information to determine if your provider covers remote dentistry.
