Living in a bustling South Shore community like Bay Shore, NY means you have plenty of dentists to choose from – which is both a blessing and a challenge! Whether you’re new to the area or just looking for a change, DenScore is here to help you find the perfect dental provider, as easily as catching the ferry to Fire Island on a summer day.
We take the guesswork out of finding a great dentist by carefully evaluating factors that really matter to patients. Think of us as your dental matchmakers! We look at dentists’ clinical qualifications, what their patients say about them, how easy it is to get an appointment, and several other important criteria. Just like how Bay Shore’s Main Street has been revitalized with careful attention to detail, we pay close attention to every aspect of dental practices to ensure we’re recommending truly excellent care providers.
Some of the dentists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose a dentist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Dental insurance can definitely help make treatment more affordable – and who doesn’t love saving money? If your family qualifies for Medicaid, your children can receive free dental care. For adults, Medicaid coverage is more limited, but it’s still worth exploring. And if you’re a senior, while regular Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, many Medicare Advantage plans offer great dental benefits that can help with those bigger procedures we all hope to avoid but sometimes need. Learn more about choosing the right dental insurance plan for your needs.
The best way to keep dental costs down is prevention – just like how South Shore University Hospital focuses on preventive care! Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and watch your sugar intake. Skip the tobacco products too – your teeth and wallet will thank you. If you have insurance, staying with an in-network dentist usually saves money. No insurance? No problem! Many dental offices offer membership plans that make care more affordable. And here’s a money-saving tip: dental prices can vary quite a bit, so it’s worth calling a few offices to compare costs if you’re paying cash. We’re always happy to help you find care that fits your budget without compromising on quality.
Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.
