Those with orthodontic coverage may receive the added benefit of reduced personal cost. We are happy to aid you in maximizing your personal insurance benefit and will be happy to assist you in determining your coverage. Orthodontic benefits are different from regular dental insurance and policies vary. Once we are able to confirm your policy, we will be happy to explain how your benefit can be applied to your treatment plan. Please remember that your policy is a benefit for you or your child and if during the course of treatment your benefit changes, please let us know so we may aid you in determining if there is a change to your out of pocket commitment.
Some employers offer flexible spending accounts to their employees as a benefit. This option allows employees to set aside contributions BEFORE federal, state and social security taxes are removed. The result is that your taxable income is reduced and the contributions can be used for health and dental expenses. Because our contracts are written to reflect overall treatment costs, households may accurately plan for flexible spending contributions. Orthodontic care is an excellent way to take advantage of this opportunity. If you have questions about your anticipated out of pocket expenses, we will be happy to assist you in planning ahead.
Burkhardt Pecora Orthodontics believes everyone should have the benefit of high quality and affordable orthodontic care. The investment made in orthodontic care can offer a lifetime of health and emotional benefits. We offer various financial options to help make orthodontic treatment accessible to different household budgets. We are pleased to offer no interest monthly payment plans, automatic bank drafts, and outside financing options. We are happy to review your options and help you find a plan that works for you.
In addition to our in house financing, we are happy to participate with outside financing. CareCredit is available to help you pay for dental procedures your insurance doesnt cover by offering low minimum monthly payment options so that you can take care of your dental health.
Our office employs the highest caliber individuals to fulfill our purpose of providing excellent orthodontic care and superior customer service. Each of our experienced clinical staff has earned their national COA (Certified Orthodontic Assistant) certificate and any newly hired staff will work towards the same level of achievement. All team members are sent to continuing education courses each year to maintain their level of excellence in their positions. They all are excited about orthodontics and are interested in maintaining long-term relationships with our patients and their families.
Attaining an attractive smile and improved self-image are only two benefits of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics can also work to alleviate and prevent physical health problems that might impact your overall health. Without treatment, orthodontic problems can lead to gum disease, bone loss, tooth decay, chewing and digestive problems, speech impairments, tooth loss or excess wearing down of the teeth and other dental conditions that can cause lasting effects on your overall health.
Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. It is important that the treatment be appropriate and properly completed. All orthodontists are dentists however only 6% of dentists are orthodontists. Orthodontists attend an additional two to three years of a residency after dental school to specialize in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
To ensure that you are receiving orthodontic treatment from a qualified practitioner, make sure to choose a doctor that belongs to the the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Dr. Burkhardt, Dr. Pecora, and Dr. Bloomberg are all members of the AAO, as well as many other professional associations, so you can rest assured you are receiving the highest quality of care.

My daughter had to transfer orthodontist because we moved from a different state & this was the only office accepting transfer patients out of roughly 8 offices I called. Quick & easy in & out every time. Staff is always so friendly too.

Our experience with this office has been over 11 years. My daughter doesn't feel like anyone cares about her overall experience no bedside manners. Money and more money is what they really care about.

One of my favorite medical offices. Every person you meet with is kind and professional. The office staff in particular is an upgrade from what you generally find in a dentist/doctor office. Really great. And we love both of the doctors we have worked with. Highly recommend.

Great experience with both of our kids! This office operates in a very organized way and at functional pace, so we had appointments scheduled in advance and we knew approximately how long our appointments would last. Doctors and staff are all very helpful and knowledgeable.

I've been to Burkhardt Pecora for both braces 10 years ago and now Invisalign due to not wearing my retainers enough and having some shifting with my teeth. They always are so friendly and do the best job possible. The office is super clean and the environment is great there. I highly recommend their office!
