monarch-floral 1 (1)
If you are seeking dental work in the Queens area, it is important to trust your smile to a team of passionate, experienced dentists. Operating as a husband and wife team allows Dr. Clifford Degel and Dr. Carmen Every-Degel to exercise a unique approach to dental care for our patients in the greater New York City area. The duo works cooperatively with our close-knit team, and strives to treat each patient like family. This focus naturally complements our ongoing commitment to providing world-class care in a welcoming neighborhood setting.

Both our doctors pursue ongoing education to remain abreast of the most advanced techniques used in the field today, like the Prettau® Zirconia restorations available at our office. We never sacrifice quality care to increase efficiency, but we do respect our patients’ time, and take measures to streamline your treatment from start to finish. Our practice features an on-site dental laboratory, and a comprehensive range of procedures, like dental implant placement and bone grafting. Providing these services in one location is convenient for our patients, and allows us to hold every stage of your care to a stringent standard.

Throughout my life, my dental journey has been difficult, painful, and has caused me a lot of anxiety. I am very happy to have found Astoria Dental Group – everyone has been so kind and have taken the time to explain everything to me thoroughly and make sure I am comfortable. Dr. Degel is absolutely wonderful. I know I’m putting my teeth in the right hands and I will soon have my dream smile!

Astoria’s finest! The team here is exceptional – a warm and welcoming staff coupled with highly professional dentists, a husband-and-wife duo who each dedicate three days a week. Their flexibility in scheduling and acceptance of various insurances make it hassle-free. I’ve been a loyal client for years, personally attended to by Dr. Carmen. She’s not only super nice but also patiently listens, possesses extensive knowledge, and most importantly, operates with utmost integrity – you can trust them without a doubt.

Absolutely the best dentist/dental group I have ever been to. Little to no wait time, they fully explain your issues and possible treatment options, and every single person front and back have been incredibly fortunate. They are organized in the front and the dentists know their stuff. So thankful for her and the practice! I’ve had major work done, great work, no pain.
