Before you book
Five-minute checklist before you call
Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.
Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost
- “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
- “Are you accepting new New York Medicaid patients right now?”
- “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
- “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”
Verify the dentist & availability
- “Is Douglas Finley Wright the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
- “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
- “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”
Verify the license yourself
Search the New York State Board for Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the New York State Board for Dentistry site →
Match office services to your needs
- “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
- “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
- “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
- “Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?”
- “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”

About orthodontists
What is a orthodontist?
An orthodontist focuses on tooth alignment and jaw position. Most of their day-to-day work involves braces, clear aligners, retainers, and the diagnostic planning behind them. Orthodontists also coordinate care for patients with cleft palate, severe overbite/underbite, or jaw-growth issues that may need surgical orthodontics.
Training. After dental school, an orthodontist completes a 2- to 3-year accredited residency in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Many also pass the American Board of Orthodontics certifying exam (board-certified status is voluntary).
