No Insurance, No Problem.

At District Dental Surgery, we are dedicated to providing outstanding periodontal care in a seamless and stress-free manner. As a fee-for-service practice, we focus on delivering the highest quality care without the limitations of insurance restrictions. However, we do accept all major dental PPO plans with out-of-network benefits.

As part of our commitment to concierge-level care, we will:

  • Submit all claims directly to your insurance company on your behalf, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
  • Help you understand your plan’s out-of-network benefits. Depending on your insurance, you may receive direct reimbursement from your provider.
  • Provide detailed estimates of your expected coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

Why Choose a Fee-for-Service Provider?

At District Dental Surgery, we prioritize exceptional care over insurance-driven limitations, offering:

  • Longer, more comprehensive appointments that put your well-being first.
  • Access to state-of-the-art technology and the latest advancements in periodontal care.
  • A relaxed, stress-free environment where you are never rushed.

We understand that insurance can be complex, and our dedicated team is here to guide you through the process. If you have any questions about your insurance benefits or our payment policies, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What Patients Are Saying

Dr. Yousefi was fantastic. She was calm, funny, and capable. She immediately put me at ease (I was pretty anxious). I have never been numbed up so quickly and near painlessly – and the rest of the procedure was then painless, too. She and her team gave clear directions as to what to do for the next 24 hours and beyond, what to eat, how to care for the flipper temporary tooth, and answered all my questions. The staff called me the next business day to follow up and answered more questions that I had come up with by then. Highly recommend.

Sara is an excellent dental hygienist and really cares about her patients. She is very good at providing a regimen to help my gums. Dr. Eskow did my gum revision surgery years ago and he’s the best. I recently needed some more work done around the come on 12 and Dr. Eskow handled it beautifully, and his assistant Emily was great.. And the staff at the front desk always makes it a pleasant visit.

Mimi B.

My family and I have been patients for maybe 10-15 years! After trying a bunch of different dentists, we found Dr. Yousefi and have been happy with her team and their services ever since. She has helped us with minor issues as well as major long-term care, including a broken tooth and a few implants. The service has always been amazing, and we are very happy with the quality and expertise here. The new, amazing facilities with super convenient parking are just the cherry on top!

Dmitry K.

Two weeks post-surgery and I couldn’t recommend this office more. Both doctors are wonderful and clearly very experienced with a patient-first mindset. The office followed up frequently after my surgery to ensure I was recovering well and to answer any questions. After two weeks, I have no pain from the surgery and the gums have already healed up. If you are in need of any dental surgery work, I would 100% recommend this office!

Michael A.

I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Tong and the team at District Dental Surgery! Dr. Tong is an exceptional periodontist who combines professionalism, expertise, and compassion to deliver top-notch patient care. His outstanding communication skills and genuine concern for his patients’ well-being, along with the team’s professionalism, make for a truly exceptional experience. Sara, the hygienist, is also fantastic – her gentle and meticulous approach puts patients at ease. I’m so grateful to have found a dental team that truly prioritizes patient care and comfort!

Guncha K.

Dr. Yousefi could not have been nicer, more attentive, more caring or more professional. I was a bit of a “special needs” patient because of other medical conditions, but Dr. Yousefi was so wonderful to work with and made sure that everything was set – including bringing in a specialist anesthetist, to make my procedure just right. She is also great to communicate with.

Sholto S.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Raha Yousefi for over two years, and she is truly one of the best. From day one, her professionalism and genuine care for her patients were evident. Dr. Yousefi’s expertise in dentistry is outstanding, and she takes the time to explain every step of the treatment, ensuring I feel comfortable and informed. Her warm and compassionate personality makes every visit a pleasant experience, and it’s clear she deeply values her patients. The staff at her practice is equally amazing—always friendly, professional, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Yousefi to anyone seeking a dentist who combines professional excellence with heartfelt care.
