PatientFYI Interview
| How does your office help a patient understand their costs for Services, payment plan options, or use of their dental insurance?
We tell them what their estimated dental benefits & Out-Of-Pocket will be, we file their Dental Insurance claims for them, and we present all Financing Plans that they can apply for through our Practice. |
| How do you educate your patients about the treatments they need and how to keep problems from reoccurring?
We utilize Patient Education technology (videos, animations, etc.), Our Doctors and/or Staff presents key information & demonstrations, and we present our Patients with handouts (pamphlets, etc.) for them to take home. We also strongly maintain our patients' oral health with regular hygiene visits and doctors exams. Once dental work is completed it is very important to maintain what's done and we go the extra mile to ensure our patients' are satisfied and our work lasts. |
| What do you do when there are multiple treatment options available for a patient's dental condition?
We present our Patients the ideal treatment plan along every possible treatment approach. We then work with them to determine the plan that best meets their individual needs. |
| What labs do you use for your restoration services (e.g. Crowns & Bridges) and do you provide patients with a choice of labs?
We utilize Local and U.S.-based Labs that meet our highest standards for Patient Care. |

We offer various types of sedation ranging from Nitrous to Oral Conscious Sedation (sleep dentistry). Aromatherapy candles and oils fill the air with relaxing scents. For extended procedures, we provide our patients with hot/cold neck cushions for added comfort and support. Patients indulging in a BriteSmile visit are treated to a heated massage pad on the chair while they visit. You'll feel decadent! |

I want to change all that,”says Dr. Livshin. Dr. Livshin believes nobody should be left behind. Everyone is entitled to good oral health. Sedation dentistry has eliminated the barrier of receiving treatment for apprehensive patients so they can have the same quality of life as everyone else.

I would definitely recommend Dream Smile to others. I have told many of my friends and continue to tell people about the amazing job that you guys do.
I am so happy! It’s hard to believe the difference that a confident smile can make in the way that one interacts with others.

Before& After
Before& After

Over the years, my teeth became worn from grinding during my sleep and I had developed periodontal disease. I began to research my options with dentists who could aesthetically enhance my smile while addressing the dental health issues that had affected my teeth and gums. This led me to the office of Dream Smile Dental and Dr. Ronkin.

After
“The dentist cured my headaches! What do headaches have to do with teeth? Over the years, my teeth had worn down from normal use and from grinding in my sleep, causing misalignment of my jaw. That caused TMJ, resulting in incredible migraines and jaw soreness. My teeth were chipping and getting thin. Dr. Shwartzman used an electronic pulsed muscle relaxer and made precise measurements to see how my teeth should properly close. Within a day of getting my new crowns, I was freed from the daily pain. In addition, people say I look younger. And I smile more. Dream Smile provided modern dentistry with old-fashioned patient care. It really wasn’t like going to the dentist.”
