The History of Astoria Dental Group

Dr. Clifford Degel took over the Astoria Dental Group offices in 1990, about a year after he became a dentist. He immediately upgraded, renovated, and modernized the office to make it one of the most cutting-edge dental facilities in Astoria. We are now entering another era in the history of our practice, as we have newly remodeled our dental office to make it even more comfortable and up-to-date.

We provide care to patients from Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, and surrounding communities. Though we are primarily known for our cosmetic dentistry procedures, we also offer gum disease treatment, Invisalign® invisible braces, implant dentistry, and full mouth reconstruction.

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.

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.
