Dentist Near Massapequa, NY
About 5–6 miles west of Massapequa on Sunrise Highway — a 13-minute drive. Bedford Dental is a founder-owned, single-location practice in Bellmore — opened in 2023 by Dr. Isabel Yuabov and built from day one around the kind of dentistry many Massapequa patients tell us their current office doesn't offer in one place: dental implants placed in-house (no oral-surgeon referral), same-day crowns, sedation dentistry for anxious patients, and the same dentist every single visit.
If you live in Massapequa — anywhere from the streets near Massapequa High School and the LIRR station, off Hicksville Road or Broadway near Massapequa Preserve, in the Biltmore Shores or Nassau Shores neighborhoods toward the bay, or in North Massapequa near Tackapausha — you can be at our office in about 13 minutes by car or four LIRR stops west.
Book online or call (516) 636-5554. Same-day emergency appointments are available.
Why a Massapequa patient with a current dentist would drive 13 minutes for us
1. Founder-owned. The same dentist every single visit. Bedford Dental is not a corporate chain or a multi-dentist group. There is one dentist — Dr. Isabel Yuabov — and she sees every patient at every visit. No rotating associates, no being passed off to whoever is on shift, no different treatment plan from a different dentist three months later. If your current Massapequa practice has multiple dentists and a different one each time you go in, this is the model worth driving 13 minutes for.
2. Equipment from 2023, not 1995. Because the practice was built recently, every operatory has current-generation equipment from day one — digital intraoral scanners (no goopy impression trays), low-radiation digital X-rays, intraoral cameras so you can see what we see, modern sterilization, and on-site CBCT 3D imaging for implant planning. Many of the long-tenured Massapequa practices are excellent dentists working on equipment that hasn't been refreshed in a decade or more; the difference is most obvious for crowns, Invisalign, and implant cases.
3. Implants and crowns in-house — no referral out. A general dentist in Massapequa will often refer implant placement to a separate oral surgeon and crown fabrication to an outside lab. That's two practices, two consults, two bills. Dr. Yuabov places single-tooth, multi-tooth, and full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) restorations on-site, and same-day crowns are designed and seated in a single visit when clinically appropriate.
4. Sedation dentistry for patients who've been postponing care. A real share of new patients tell us they haven't been to a dentist in 3, 5, or 10+ years because of anxiety. We offer sedation options that make longer cosmetic and implant appointments tolerable for patients who used to avoid even cleanings.
5. The patient experience your current Massapequa office may not have updated. Online booking. Written treatment estimates before treatment, not after. Insurance verification handled by us, not pushed onto you. One office for general, cosmetic, restorative, pediatric, and emergency dentistry — so the whole family can use the same practice instead of juggling a generalist plus a pediatric specialist plus an oral surgeon plus a cosmetic specialist (which is the typical Massapequa setup).
Bedford Dental vs. a typical Massapequa dental office
Ownership — Bedford Dental: founder-owned, single location. Typical Massapequa: multi-dentist group, cosmetic specialty practice, or long-tenured solo with limited tech refresh.
Dentist continuity — Bedford Dental: same dentist every visit (Dr. Yuabov). Typical group practice: 3–5 dentists, you get whoever is on. Typical solo: same dentist, but limited capacity.
Implants — Bedford Dental: placed in-house (single, multi, full-arch). Typical: usually referred to an oral surgeon outside the practice.
Crowns — Bedford Dental: same-day digital crowns where clinically appropriate. Typical: 2-visit process with temp + outside lab.
Imaging — Bedford Dental: digital X-rays, intraoral camera, on-site CBCT 3D imaging. Typical: digital X-rays. CBCT usually requires a separate referral for implant planning.
Impressions — Bedford Dental: digital intraoral scanner. Typical: goopy putty trays still common.
Sedation — Bedford Dental: sedation options for anxious patients. Typical: nitrous-only or none.
Cosmetic + restorative + family in one office — Bedford Dental: yes. Typical Massapequa: cosmetic specialty practices and family practices are often separate offices, requiring two appointments and two records.
Booking — Bedford Dental: online + phone. Typical: phone only.
Treatment estimates — Bedford Dental: written, before you commit. Typical: often verbal, post-treatment.
Family-friendly — Bedford Dental: pediatric + adult under one roof. Typical: often refers kids out to a pediatric specialist.
Practice age — Bedford Dental: opened 2023 with current-generation equipment from day one. Typical Massapequa practice: 20+ years tenured (genuinely valuable for relationship continuity, but often paired with older operatories).
Thinking about switching? Here's exactly what happens.
Step 1 — Book your new-patient consult. Call (516) 636-5554 or book online. The consult is typically 30–45 minutes and includes a full exam, X-rays, and a written treatment plan you can take home and think about. No pressure to schedule treatment at the consult.
Step 2 — We handle the records request. With your permission, we'll request your dental records and recent X-rays from your current Massapequa practice, so you don't have to. No duplicate X-rays, no awkward conversations.
Step 3 — We verify your insurance up front. Before you commit to any treatment, we run your benefits and tell you in writing what your insurance will cover, what your out-of-pocket cost will be, and (if it applies) what payment-plan options are available. No surprise bills.
Step 4 — Decide at your own pace. Most new patients keep both practices on file for the first few months while they decide. There is no formal discharge process — you simply stop scheduling there.
Getting here from Massapequa
By car (~13 minutes off-peak; 18–25 in rush hour):
From central Massapequa (Sunrise Hwy × Broadway / Hicksville Rd): Head west on Sunrise Highway through Seaford, Wantagh, and Merrick into Bellmore. Exit at Bedford Avenue, turn south. Bedford Dental is at 219 S Bedford Ave with on-site parking. Total distance ~5–6 miles.
From North Massapequa / Tackapausha area: Take Hicksville Road / Broadway south to Sunrise Highway, west to Bedford Avenue, south to 219 S Bedford Ave.
From southern Massapequa (Biltmore Shores, Nassau Shores, Bar Harbor): Take Merrick Road westbound through Seaford, Wantagh, Merrick, and into Bellmore (~6 miles). Turn south on Bedford Avenue.
By LIRR (four stops from Massapequa Station): Take the Babylon Branch westbound four stops from Massapequa Station — through Seaford, Wantagh, and Merrick — to Bellmore Station. From Bellmore Station, walk about 5 minutes south on Bedford Avenue. Off-peak westbound trains typically run every 20–30 minutes — convenient for patients having sedation appointments who'd rather not drive home.
When Massapequa patients call us specifically
You've been told you need an implant or full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) and your current Massapequa dentist wants to refer you to an oral surgeon outside the practice. We place it in-house, 13 minutes west.
You've been quoted a 6–8 week timeline for a crown at your current practice and want it done in a single visit instead.
You haven't been to a dentist in 3+ years because of anxiety. Sedation consult, no judgment.
You're getting married, getting professional headshots, or want a cosmetic refresh in 4–6 weeks. Veneers, whitening, bonding consult — Bedford Dental does cosmetic in the same office that handles your routine care.
Your child needs a first cleaning and exam and you'd rather one practice handle the whole Massapequa family than juggle a pediatric specialist plus an adult practice plus an oral surgeon.
You're in pain right now. Call (516) 636-5554 for a same-day emergency appointment.
Bring the whole family — pediatric to grandparent in one office
Bedford Dental is a single-office, founder-owned practice that handles every life stage under one roof: first-cleaning checkups for kids in the Massapequa School District (Birch Lane, East Lake, Fairfield, Lockhart, McKenna, and Unqua Elementary, plus Massapequa Middle and the Massapequa High School Ames + East/West campuses), routine and cosmetic dentistry for adults, and implants, crowns, dentures, and full-arch restorations for grandparents. Many Massapequa families switch to us specifically because they're tired of scheduling kids at one practice, the parents at another, and an oral surgeon at a third.
Meet Dr. Isabel Yuabov
Dr. Isabel Yuabov founded Bedford Dental in 2023 and personally handles every patient — from new-patient cleanings through complex implant and full-arch cases. She blends a restorative and cosmetic specialty interest with a straightforward, plain-English consult style.
The practice was built in 2023 specifically because Dr. Yuabov wanted a different model than the one she'd seen elsewhere — assembly-line scheduling, a different dentist each visit, equipment that hadn't been updated in 15 years. Bedford Dental is the practice she would want her own family treated at: same dentist every visit, modern equipment, and no rushing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dentist Near Massapequa, NY
Is the 13-minute drive from Massapequa to Bedford Dental really worth it?
For routine cleanings only, your current Massapequa dentist is probably fine — Massapequa has dozens of competent ones. The 13-minute drive west is most worth it specifically for: dental implants placed in-house instead of referred to an oral surgeon, same-day digital crowns, sedation dentistry, complex cosmetic work, full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) cases, or wanting one practice for the whole family with the same dentist every visit.
What does Bedford Dental offer that my current Massapequa dentist might not?
Three differentiators stand out: implants placed in-house, same-day digital crowns, and sedation options for anxious patients. We're also a 2023-opened, founder-owned practice — same dentist every visit, modern equipment from day one, single point of accountability. If you're currently with a 5-dentist group practice, the same-dentist-every-visit piece is the most direct contrast.
How do I switch dentists from my current Massapequa practice?
Call (516) 636-5554 or book online. We'll request your records from your current Massapequa practice on your behalf. There is no formal "discharge" process. Many patients keep both practices on file for the first few months while they decide.
What makes Dr. Yuabov different from the long-established dentists in Massapequa?
Several Massapequa dentists have been in practice for 20+ years and they earn their patients' loyalty. Dr. Yuabov founded Bedford Dental in 2023 specifically to run a different kind of practice — same dentist every visit, in-house implants and crowns instead of referrals out, modern equipment built in from day one, sedation for anxious patients. She personally handles every case from consult through final seat.
Can my whole family come to one practice?
Yes. Pediatric-friendly cleanings for kids in the Massapequa School District, general and cosmetic dentistry for adults, and implants, crowns, and dentures for grandparents — all under one roof, with the same dentist seeing every family member.
How long does it take to drive from Massapequa to Bedford Dental?
About 13 minutes off-peak, 18–25 minutes in rush hour. From central Massapequa: west on Sunrise Highway through Seaford, Wantagh, and Merrick into Bellmore, then south on Bedford Avenue to 219 S Bedford Ave. Total distance about 5–6 miles.
Can I take the LIRR from Massapequa to Bedford Dental?
Yes — Bellmore Station is four stops west of Massapequa Station on the Babylon Branch (passing through Seaford, Wantagh, and Merrick). From Bellmore Station, walk about 5 minutes south on Bedford Avenue. Popular option for patients having sedation appointments.
Is there parking?
Yes — on-site parking at 219 S Bedford Ave, Bellmore.
Do you treat families in the Massapequa School District (Birch Lane, East Lake, Fairfield, Lockhart, McKenna, Unqua, the Middle School, the High School)?
Yes — pediatric-friendly cleanings, sealants, and early ortho consults. Same dentist as your adult appointments.
What neighborhoods around Massapequa do you serve?
Massapequa, Massapequa Park, North Massapequa, East Massapequa, Biltmore Shores, Nassau Shores, Bar Harbor, plus the broader South Shore and the neighboring towns of Seaford and Wantagh.
What dental insurance plans do you accept?
Most major plans including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, Guardian, United Healthcare, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, Anthem, and Principal. If we're out-of-network, we still file your claim for you.
What if my current Massapequa dentist is in-network and you're not?
Many patients still receive substantial reimbursement on out-of-network visits, and we file the claim for you. Our front desk runs your benefits before any treatment so you have a written estimate to compare.
Do you offer payment plans for implants or full-arch cases?
Yes — we offer in-house and third-party financing options for larger cases. Ask at the consult.
Are implants placed in-house, or referred to an oral surgeon?
In-house. This is one of the practice's main differentiators. Single-tooth, multi-tooth, and full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) cases are placed by Dr. Yuabov.
Do you offer same-day crowns?
Yes — digital impression, designed and seated in a single visit when clinically appropriate.
Do you offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients?
Yes. This is one of the more common reasons Massapequa patients switch to us.
Do you have CBCT 3D imaging on-site?
Yes — on-site CBCT 3D imaging is available for implant planning and other advanced cases. This is rare for a general dental practice and means complex implant cases don't require a separate referral for imaging.
Do you offer Invisalign?
Yes — including digital scanning so there are no goopy impression trays.
Do you handle dental emergencies on weekends?
Same-day emergency appointments are available during practice hours, and on-call urgent care for established patients. Call (516) 636-5554 if you're in pain.
Are you accepting new patients from Massapequa?
Yes.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Insurance card, photo ID, list of current medications, and (if available) recent X-rays from your prior dentist. With your permission we can also request records on your behalf.
