Teledentistry

People are busier today than ever, but that does not mean that health is any less crucial. There has been a shift in recent years toward virtual care as more people struggle to find time to make appointments with their general physicians and dentists.

Teledentistry is an innovative solution to this modern problem. Learn more about how virtual dentistry can improve dental health, from consultations to treatments.

What Is Teledentistry?

From ordering contact lenses to preparing taxes, we can access many of the services we use in our daily lives online. Teledentistry allows oral care providers to move toward a similar level of convenience and innovation.

Teledentistry refers to 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. The tooth decay cannot be healed with an antibiotic.  Please understand that there are many limitations to what we can offer via Teledentistry.
209 NYC Dental offers the following services available for a virtual online consultation:

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. Teledentistry has 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, teledentistry allows dental professionals 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. Telendental visit is an easy way to meet a doctor and discuss your dental needs and wants prior to booking your flight from Taxes or Arizona.
  • Social Distancing

When you talk to a dentist online, you receive the same level of care that you would in the office. Teledentistry just makes the process simpler and more comfortable for you.

Testimonials

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found this place because my partner had a dental emergency and no insurance. We both have dentist phobias that have prevented us from keeping on top of our teeth cleanings etc. and so we don’t have a regular one to go to in situations like this. I looked for the highest rated dentist in the city on Google and found this place, which mentions specialty in caring for emergencies on their site. And so I got him in the door based on that. They spoke the truth! They were so kind, patient, caring and non judgmental for my partner, it made me want to go in for my own cleaning and care. Now we’ve referred several people since! I personally have been seeing Dr. Reddy, who is a gem of a human who seems to enjoy her work. my friends have seen other dentists here and we’ve all had the best experience here and think ours is the best. :) Since it was years since my cleaning, I did need some work done over the last couple months or so and I made it to all of them. Instead of anxiety and maybe occasionally postponing as I would do in the past, I almost looked forward to my appointments. They made all the costs and insurance coverage completely clear and transparent and gave me choices. I commute from Bushwick but it’s been so worth it. If you are looking for the dentist, this is your place!

Amazing service. I had a abcess develop while in NYC. The 209 clinic saw me same day for an effortless service. It was a third of the price of some of the dentists in mid town. Highly recommend

This is a wonderful dental office with very professional and friendly staff and up to date technology. They took me at a very short notice when I needed emergency dental work, they were so nice and accommodating. The office itself is bright and modern, all staff are welcoming! All doctors are absolutely fantastic! The best part is that they have all Dental specialists at that office, so they’ll be able to help you with any dental issue without you leaving the office. I highly recommend 209 NYC Dental!
