Disclaimer

The information provided on the SmileWorks NYC website serves educational purposes about dental and orthodontic health topics. While we strive to offer accurate, current information about oral health, treatments, and dental care options, this content should not replace professional dental advice, diagnosis, or treatment from qualified healthcare providers. Every patient’s dental needs are unique, and what works for one person may not be appropriate for another. Our about page details our qualifications and commitment to excellence, but online information cannot substitute for in-person examinations and consultations. We encourage you to schedule appointments for personalized assessments and treatment recommendations tailored to your specific oral health needs.

Medical and Treatment Information

Content on our website discusses various dental and orthodontic procedures, from routine cleanings to complex treatments like dental implants and jaw surgery. These descriptions provide general overviews to help patients understand their options. However, individual results vary based on numerous factors including overall health, oral hygiene habits, bone density, and adherence to treatment protocols. Treatment outcomes, recovery times, and experiences described on our website represent typical scenarios but may not reflect your individual situation. Factors such as age, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle choices can significantly impact treatment success and healing processes. We cannot guarantee specific results, and all treatments carry inherent risks and benefits we’ll discuss during consultations. Information about preventive care, oral hygiene techniques, and home care recommendations offers general guidance. Your specific needs may require modified approaches based on your oral health status, existing conditions, or ongoing treatments. Always follow the personalized instructions provided by your dental team rather than relying solely on general website information.

Financial and Insurance Information

While we provide information about insurance acceptance, payment options, and treatment costs, these details are subject to change and may not reflect your specific situation. Insurance coverage varies significantly between plans, and benefits depend on your individual policy terms, deductibles, annual maximums, and waiting periods. We recommend contacting our office directly to verify current insurance participation and coverage details. Cost estimates and payment information on our website represent general ranges and may not include all associated fees. Actual costs depend on treatment complexity, materials used, and unforeseen complications. Our SmileWorks dental plans and financing options may have specific eligibility requirements and terms we’ll discuss during consultations. Information about promotional offers, discounts, or special pricing has specific terms and expiration dates. Not all patients qualify for all offers, and restrictions may apply. Contact our office to confirm current promotions and eligibility requirements before making treatment decisions based on advertised specials.

Website Use and External Links

Our website may contain links to external resources, professional organizations, or educational materials. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We don’t control external websites and aren’t responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. The presence of external links doesn’t constitute endorsement of those sites or their information. Technical information on our website, such as downloadable forms, patient portal access, or online scheduling systems, depends on various factors including browser compatibility, internet connectivity, and system maintenance. We strive to maintain website functionality but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free operation. User-submitted content through contact forms, reviews, or testimonials becomes our property, and we may use it for marketing purposes while protecting your privacy. We reserve the right to edit or remove content violating our guidelines or applicable laws.

Professional Relationships and Referrals

Information about our relationships with specialists, laboratories, or other healthcare providers doesn’t imply endorsement of their services. When we refer patients to other providers for specialized care such as oral surgery or periodontics, we base recommendations on professional judgment and patient needs. However, you’re free to seek care from any qualified provider. Our participation in professional organizations, continuing education, or certification programs reflects our commitment to professional development. However, these affiliations don’t guarantee specific outcomes or imply superiority over other qualified providers. All dental professionals must meet state licensing requirements and maintain professional standards.

Emergency Care Limitations

Our website may provide general information about dental emergencies and after-hours care. This information offers basic guidance but cannot address every emergency situation. If you experience a dental emergency, severe pain, facial swelling, or trauma, seek immediate professional care. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room. The availability of emergency services, after-hours care, or same-day appointments may vary based on scheduling, provider availability, and emergency severity. Contact our office directly to discuss urgent care needs rather than relying solely on website information.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We comply with applicable federal and state laws governing dental practice, patient privacy, and healthcare delivery. This includes HIPAA privacy regulations, New York State Dental Practice Act requirements, and professional ethical standards. Our website content aims to meet these requirements, but regulations change, and interpretations vary. Nothing on our website creates a doctor-patient relationship. Such relationships are established only through formal consultations, examinations, and mutual agreement to proceed with treatment. Website visitors from outside our service area should consult local providers for care, as we’re licensed to practice only in New York State. Any disputes arising from website use or dental services are subject to New York State law and jurisdiction. By using our website or services, you agree to these terms and acknowledge reading this disclaimer.

Changes and Updates

We periodically update website content to reflect current treatments, technologies, and best practices in dentistry. However, not all information updates immediately, and some content may become outdated. We recommend verifying important information directly with our office, especially regarding services, fees, or policies. Dental science and technology evolve rapidly. Treatments, techniques, or recommendations described on our website may be superseded by newer approaches. Our team stays current through continuing education and professional development, and we’ll discuss the most appropriate options during your consultation.
