Finding a dentist who accepts your insurance can make receiving regular dental care easier and more affordable. MetroPlus dentists are dental providers participating in MetroPlusHealth networks, with availability depending on the member's specific plan and location.

MetroPlusHealth provides an online dentist search and downloadable provider directories organized by plan and location. Because provider participation can change, members are encouraged to verify that a dentist is currently in network before scheduling an appointment.

Finding a MetroPlus Dentist

The easiest way to find participating dental providers is through the MetroPlusHealth provider search. Patients can search for dentists based on their plan and location.

MetroPlusHealth's provider directories include dental providers throughout New York City, including Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The available providers can vary depending on the particular MetroPlusHealth plan.

MetroPlus Dentists in Queens

Queens residents have access to a variety of participating dental providers. Current MetroPlusHealth directories list dentists in communities such as Flushing, Forest Hills, Astoria, Jamaica, Fresh Meadows, and other Queens neighborhoods.

For example, the current Medicare directory lists participating dentists in Forest Hills, including providers at Alan H. Kaplan DDS PC, Forest Hills Dental Care, Horizon Dental PC, NNN Dental PC, and Soft Touch Dental NY PLLC.

Because directories differ by plan, patients should always check their specific coverage before selecting a dentist.

General Dental Services

Depending on the dental practice, MetroPlus members may find providers offering services such as:

• Dental examinations
• Professional cleanings
• Preventive dental care
• Fillings
• Crowns
• Root canal treatment
• Tooth extractions
• Dentures
• Pediatric dental care
• Other general dental services

The exact services covered by an insurance plan can vary, so patients should review their benefits and speak with the dental office before treatment.

Choosing the Right Dentist

When searching for MetroPlus dentists, insurance participation is only one factor to consider. Patients may also want to consider the dentist's location, office hours, experience, available services, appointment availability, and communication with patients.

It can also be helpful to confirm whether the provider accepts your exact MetroPlusHealth plan rather than assuming that every MetroPlus member has the same dental benefits.

Verify Your Coverage

MetroPlusHealth advises members to check their provider directory and contact the dental provider before an appointment because provider information can change between directory updates. The organization's official provider page also allows members to review their benefits and search for participating dentists.

This simple step can help prevent unexpected coverage or network issues.

MetroPlus dentists give eligible MetroPlusHealth members access to participating dental providers across New York City. Whether you need preventive care, restorative treatment, or routine dental services, using the official MetroPlusHealth dentist search is a practical way to identify providers in your area.

Before scheduling an appointment, confirm that the dentist accepts your specific MetroPlusHealth plan and verify which services are covered. This can help you choose a dental provider that fits both your oral healthcare needs and insurance coverage.
