The trip is longer. Here is what is at the end of it
At Shine Dental, new patients are not just visitors but valued members of our dental family. We will also be straightforward with you about when we are not the right answer.
West Hills is closer to Huntington and Melville than it is to us. For a routine cleaning, that proximity should probably win, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
The patients who drive down Route 110 to see us are generally coming for something a small practice would send out to a commercial laboratory. Dentures, implant restorations, complex crown and bridge work. Those are made in our own lab, in our own building, by four full-time technicians.
If your case has already been remade once by an outside laboratory and still is not right, that is the situation where seventeen minutes stops being a long drive.
Alongside the restorative side you will find cleanings and checkups, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, sedation and emergency care — all in one building, for the whole family.
Bring whatever records and imaging you can obtain from previous treatment. It materially improves the assessment we can give you at a first visit.
Route 110 through the Melville office corridor slows noticeably between 8 and 9 in the morning and around 5 in the evening.

Questions from West Hills patients
Should I really drive past closer practices?
For a cleaning, probably not, and we will say so. For dentures, implant restorations or a case that has already been remade once and still is not right, the on-site lab is the reason people make the trip.
How long does the Route 110 run take?
About seventeen minutes outside commuter hours. The Melville corridor slows around 8 to 9 in the morning and 5 in the evening.
Can you fix work another practice did?
Often. Bring what you have, including any records or images you can get hold of, and we will give you an honest assessment of what can be salvaged and what needs remaking.
Do you see children as well as adults?
Yes, and we can schedule family members consecutively so one trip covers the household.
Which insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major PPO plans and file claims for you. Because coverage varies by employer, call with your card in hand and we will verify your benefits and explain costs before anything is scheduled.
Can you see me today if I am in pain?
Call as early in the day as you can. We hold room for urgent visits, and a broken tooth, lost crown, swelling or sharp pain gets priority.
I already have a dentist. What is involved in switching?
Give us the name of your current practice and we will request your chart and recent X-rays so you are not paying for duplicate imaging. Your first visit is an exam, a conversation about what you want fixed, and a written plan.
