Common questions
How many Flushing practices are behind these figures?
Between 11 and 20 depending on the treatment, shown per row above. A Flushing figure is published only when at least 8 separate practices in the city carried a negotiated rate for it.
Will a Flushing dentist charge me these amounts?
Not if you are paying cash. These are rates negotiated between plans and contracted practices in Flushing. Uninsured patients are normally quoted higher. Ask any practice for an itemised written quote — that is the only number that binds them.
