Patient Information at Damurjian & Nasr

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To help us provide the most efficient care possible, please come prepared with the following:

• Completed new patient forms (sent to you in advance)
• Your dental insurance card or details
• A list of any medications you’re currently taking
• Recent dental X-rays (if taken within the last year)
• Any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss

Our team will also help you understand your out-of-network benefits if your plan isn't through Horizon BCBS NJ. We file all claims on your behalf and advocate for your reimbursement directly with your provider.

Insurance and Payment Information

We are a fee-for-service practice, meaning we are only in-network with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, but we are committed to making care accessible for all patients. If you have coverage through another provider:

• We will submit all claims to your insurance company for you
• Our team will help you maximize your out-of-network benefits
• Transparent treatment estimates will be provided before care begins

Our patients appreciate that we handle the paperwork and collections, allowing them to focus on their care — not insurance red tape.

We also accept:

• Cash, check, and major credit cards
• Flexible financing options (ask our team during your visit)

What Happens During a New Patient Appointment?

New patients can expect a thorough evaluation and a conversation-centered approach. We take time to listen and learn before recommending any treatment. Your first visit may include:

• Full set of diagnostic X-rays
• Periodontal charting and gum health assessment
• Oral cancer screening
• TMJ evaluation
• Bite analysis and occlusal exam
• Comprehensive dental exam and cleaning (if appropriate)

For those seeking cosmetic or restorative work — including smile makeovers or dental implants — we may also take digital scans or impressions for treatment planning.

We welcome children, families, and patients with complex dental needs. Our practice also proudly provides services for patients with disabilities and offers oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide for a more relaxed experience.
