What
makes Dr. Rubin the dentist for me? |

listens to you and your needs. Her treatment suggestions and plan

approaching pleasant.
|
Where
was Dr. Rubin educated? |
|
Dr.
Rubin went to Columbia University and graduated in 1982 with a D.D.S.
and M.P.H. . That was followed by a one year residency at Jamaica Hospital in Queens
New York. Since then she has been in private practice in New York
City. She is on staff at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine located in New York City.
She is involved in continuing education on a regular basis.
|
What's
involved in the initial visit? |
|
Dr.
Rubin will do a comprehensive initial exam which includes a thorough
dental questionnaire, a TMJ exam, a soft tissue exam, a "bite" evaluation,
a gum exam and a tooth exam. She
will review your x-rays that you brought with you. If you come without
films, she will take the appropriate x-rays.
She
will leave time for questions that you may have.
|
Do
I need x-rays? |
|
If you
have legible x-rays that are not too old, please bring them. We need
radiographs to properly diagnose your condition and certainly to drill
into a tooth. If you don't have films, Dr. Rubin takes the minimal
number of films that you individually need. These are taken with the
digital radiograph machine that cuts down radiation to just 10% of
conventional x-rays.
|
What
services does Dr. Rubin provide? |
|
Dr.
Rubin does all of routine dentistry. Her interests in alternative
health care may restrict her choice of materials (leaving out the
injurious ones) and provide adjunctive therapies to your treatment.
She particularly enjoys cosmetic dentistry and restoring your teeth
for a healthier smile and body.
|
How long has the doctor been working with holistic dentistry?

She
has been involved with holistic dentistry since 1984. Dr.
Rubin has been practicing dentistry since 1982 at which time she graduated
from Columbia University.
|
Does

|
Dr.
Rubin's practice covers the entire gamut of tooth bearing individuals
from toddlers to the elderly.
|
What
are her fees? |

York City dentist.
|
What

|
If
she is on vacation is there a Doctor available? |

for emergencies. When she is on vacation, there are dentists that
cover for her.
|
Does
Dr. Rubin take my insurance? |
|
Dr.
Rubin takes all insurance but not necessarily as full payment. As
a service to you, we send insurance forms for reimbursement after
every one of your visits. If we 'predetermine' from your insurance
company then you need to pay only 'copayments' at your dental visits.
