When selecting a dentist, many patients assume that staying in-network is the best or only option. However, more people are discovering that choosing a fee-for-service dental practice offers a very different and often far better experience.
At Como Dental Design, we are a private, fee-for-service dental practice in New Rochelle, NY, dedicated to comprehensive, personalized care. Our focus is not on volume or insurance quotas, but on delivering thoughtful, high-quality dentistry tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Patients who choose our practice value unhurried appointments, clear communication, and treatment plans designed for long-term oral health rather than short-term fixes.
A common question we hear is: Why would I pay out of pocket instead of going to an in-network dentist?
In a fee-for-service dental practice, care is guided by the patient, not by insurance limitations. Insurance companies often dictate how much time can be spent with patients, which procedures are covered, and when treatment is allowed. Unfortunately, those rules do not always align with what is best for your oral health.
At Como Dental Design, treatment recommendations are based on:
While we are out of network with all insurance plans, we provide superbills and assist with submission to your provider for insurance reimbursement, allowing patients to use their benefits without compromising the quality of their care.
