Worrying about cost should never stand between you and the care your health depends on. When oral surgery is on the table, whether you need an extraction, dental implants, or a full smile transformation, the financial side of the equation deserves just as much attention and clarity as the clinical side. You have every right to know what you are paying for and why, and to feel confident that getting the care you need is possible regardless of your budget.
Dr. Mohamed El-Ounsi, a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, takes a financially transparent approach that puts patients first at every stage. As a trusted provider of oral surgery on Long Island, Dr. El-Ounsi goes the extra mile before and after your appointment to ensure cost never becomes an obstacle to receiving the care that will change your life.
Understanding the Cost of Oral Surgery
Oral surgery costs vary depending on the complexity and type of procedure. A single tooth extraction involves different variables than a full-mouth reconstruction, and knowing what drives those differences puts you in a much stronger position when planning your care. Factors that affect overall cost typically include the type of procedure performed, the level of anesthesia used, the complexity of your individual case, and the materials or technology involved.
According to the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute, 13% of Americans reported cost barriers to dental care in 2023, a rate nearly three times higher than barriers to medical or prescription services. At Precision OMF Surgery, we believe those numbers should motivate change, not just documentation. That is why we build financial transparency into every consultation and why we offer a robust set of tools to make your treatment accessible.
Financing Information
Not every procedure is covered by insurance, and even when it is, out-of-pocket costs can still add up. That is why we have partnered with multiple trusted financing platforms to give our patients real flexibility. Whether you are planning dental implants or a full arch rehabilitation, the following options are available to help you get started without delay.
- CareCredit is one of the most recognized healthcare financing options in the country, offering both short-term and longer promotional periods with manageable monthly payments.
- Cherry is a popular choice for patients who want a quick, easy application process with flexible plan structures.
- Alphaeon Credit focuses on elective health and wellness procedures, including oral surgery and implants, and offers competitive financing terms.
- Proceed Finance rounds out our financing lineup with options built for larger treatment plans.
- HFD (Healthcare Finance Direct) provides another patient-friendly path for those exploring extended payment timelines.
- HSA and FSA funds are accepted, meaning your existing healthcare savings account can go directly toward your treatment.
For patients who qualify for Medicaid, we offer a 20% in-house discount on office fees, ensuring that lower-income patients still have access to the quality care they deserve.
Insurance Information
We work with a wide range of insurance providers to reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible services.

Planning for Your Treatment
The best time to address the financial side of your care is before your procedure begins. During your consultation with Dr. El-Ounsi, you will receive a detailed breakdown of your treatment plan and all associated costs. Our team takes time to review your insurance coverage, walk you through available financing options, and help you determine which path makes the most sense for your situation. We never nickel and dime patients, and we never leave you guessing about what a procedure will cost.
For procedures like IV sedation or more involved surgical cases, we make it a point to discuss all fees upfront so there are no surprises at the end of your visit. Same-day consultations are available for patients who have pressing concerns and want answers quickly.
Dr. Mohamed El-Ounsi trained as Chief Resident at NYU Langone and Bellevue Hospital, two of the most respected surgical training programs in the country, and holds dual credentials as both a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. His approach to patient care is defined by honesty, thoroughness, and a genuine commitment to removing every barrier between patients and the treatment they need, including financial ones.
