At Chittenango Family Dental, we know firsthand how valuable long-term oral health and an attractive smile can be. When you visit our dental office, youll quickly learn how much we value your comfort and building a relationship based on trust, not just providing dental care. Dr. Ahmed Badawy is highly trained on many different dental treatments and technologies, but also makes continuing education a high priority. With his expertise, you can expect great things for you and your familys oral health today and in the future. Dr. Badawy and his team cannot wait to make your next dental visit an enjoyable experience!
One of the most notable differences between our dental office and others is the level of attention and care we provide our patients. If youve never had a dentist that felt friendly or easy-going to be around, youll be happy to learn that its one of the values we give considerable attention to. Furthermore, we understand that getting to the dental office is not always an easy task, especially if youre busy. By offering early-morning hours and being open two Fridays a month, we hope that it makes your future visits all the more easier.
Part of achieving a very high standard of dental care is incorporating dental technologies that arent just on the cutting edge, but more importantly, designed to improve the patient experience. Same-day crowns, intraoral cameras and digital X-rays are all perfect examples of how we elevate our standard of care and convenience as a dental office. Its just another part of ensuring that the care youre receiving is top-notch, regardless of the treatment youre pursuing.
Our dental office is proud to be in-network with a large variety of dental insurance plans in order to make using your benefits simple and straightforward. But that doesnt mean we wont try to accommodate those without insurance or who simply need to pay for treatments that insurance cannot cover. Our dental office uses CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending for those looking for more manageable payment plans. We also offer an in-house dental savings plan for guaranteed services at flat annual rates.
