At Chroma Dental, we are proud to care for the people who help shape New York City every day, our teachers. Members of the United Federation of Teachers play a vital role in building stronger, more informed communities, and it is our privilege to support their health and confidence through compassionate, world-class dental care.
We are one of the few dental practices in New York City that welcomes members with the UFT HMO plan, and we do so with immense respect for the work educators do. Teaching demands patience, resilience, and dedication. We believe dental care should reflect those same values. When you visit our office, you’ll find a team that sees you not as a policy number or plan type, but as an individual who deserves exceptional care, clear communication, and genuine appreciation.
Every smile has a story, and for teachers, that story often includes countless hours spent giving to others, encouraging, inspiring, and guiding. At Chroma Dental, we believe that educators deserve the same level of dedication they give every day in their classrooms. Our goal is to make every visit a reflection of gratitude for all that you do.
We designed our approach to care around the belief that oral health is an essential part of overall well-being. When your smile is healthy, confident, and comfortable, it enhances not only how you feel but how you teach, speak, and connect with others. That is why we are proud to offer UFT members access to a dental experience defined by excellence, integrity, and respect.
The UFT dental plan helps educators and their families access comprehensive dental care at a manageable cost. For many, it provides an essential foundation for preventive care, cleanings, and restorative services that maintain oral health and function. At Chroma Dental, we see your plan as a partner in supporting your health, not a limitation.
Our team works closely with each UFT member to ensure that your plan benefits are maximized effectively. We take the time to explain what is covered, what additional options exist, and how we can help you achieve your long-term dental goals. The result is a seamless, stress-free experience that keeps your health front and center.
Whether you’re a UFT member, a healthcare worker, or a parent bringing in your family, our philosophy never changes: everyone deserves access to exceptional dentistry. We view every patient as an individual with unique needs, goals, and preferences. Our job is to listen, to understand, and to provide the most thoughtful, personalized care possible.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference. Our office is calm, modern, and designed for comfort. Every appointment is scheduled with intention, never rushed so that you receive our full attention. We believe time is one of the greatest forms of respect, and we dedicate it fully to you.
The UFT plan provides access to a wide range of preventive and restorative services, ensuring that educators can maintain optimal oral health throughout their careers and beyond. Covered services typically include:
These essential benefits form the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. At Chroma Dental, we build on that foundation by adding artistry, precision, and a personal touch. Whether your visit is for preventive maintenance or a more advanced procedure, our focus remains the same: to ensure your experience is positive, comfortable, and built around your goals.
As educators, you know the value of understanding and clarity. We believe your dental care should reflect those same principles. Before every procedure, we take time to explain your options and the reasoning behind our recommendations. We review your plan benefits with you, ensuring that you always know what’s covered and how your choices support your long-term health.
This transparency builds confidence and trust. You’ll never feel uncertain about your care or wonder whether a treatment is truly necessary. Instead, you’ll leave each visit feeling informed, empowered, and appreciated.
Dentistry today is a blend of technology, science, and artistry, and at Chroma Dental, we embrace that balance in everything we do. Every restoration, cleaning, and smile enhancement is performed with a commitment to precision and aesthetics.
We use advanced materials and meticulous techniques to create results that look natural and feel comfortable. Whether you need a small restoration or a comprehensive treatment plan, our goal is always to protect your oral health while enhancing your confidence.
Many of our patients, including UFT members, express how meaningful it is to receive care that feels personalized and thorough. We understand that teachers often put others first; here, we make sure your care puts you first.
Teaching is not just a job, it’s a calling. It requires endless patience, compassion, and selflessness. At Chroma Dental, we see those same qualities reflected in the educators we serve. You spend your days improving lives, and you deserve care that does the same for you.
Our promise is simple: to provide dentistry that matches your commitment to excellence. We respect your time, we value your trust, and we deliver care that exceeds expectations. We treat your oral health as a long-term partnership, ensuring that every stage of treatment, whether preventive or restorative, supports your overall wellness and confidence.
We understand that your time is precious. Between classes, lesson planning, and family responsibilities, it can be hard to prioritize yourself. That’s why we make every appointment efficient yet unhurried. Our team takes time to listen, to answer your questions, and to create an environment where you feel comfortable and cared for.
Many UFT members tell us that they appreciate how personal their experience feels. We never rush through explanations or gloss over important details. Instead, we ensure that you understand every step, from diagnosis to follow-up, so you can make decisions with confidence.
Our approach to transparency sets us apart. We take pride in offering clear communication about costs, coverage, and care recommendations. When you understand your options, you can focus on what matters most—your health.
We review your UFT benefits thoroughly, identifying ways to make the most of your coverage. For services not included in your plan, we offer flexible payment options and interest-free financing. This approach allows you to access high-quality care in a way that aligns with your budget and goals.
You will never feel pressured or uncertain. We are here to guide, inform, and support you every step of the way.
Our focus is not just on immediate fixes but on lasting health. Every treatment plan is built with your future in mind. We address the underlying causes of dental issues, helping to prevent recurring problems and protect your overall wellness.
This proactive approach helps educators maintain their oral health for decades. By identifying concerns early and using advanced, minimally invasive techniques, we help preserve your natural teeth and prevent complications that could impact your comfort or confidence later in life.
We know that visiting the dentist can sometimes cause anxiety or hesitation, especially if you’ve had negative experiences in the past. Our office is designed to change that. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be met with warmth, professionalism, and care.
The environment at Chroma Dental is quiet, clean, and inviting. Every detail from the lighting to the way we greet you is crafted to create a sense of calm and comfort. Our team’s goal is to make every visit something you look forward to, not something you endure.
Educators hold a special place in society. You inspire creativity, nurture curiosity, and shape the minds that build our future. At Chroma Dental, we see it as our responsibility to give back by ensuring that your health and confidence receive the same care and dedication you give to your students.
We believe gratitude should be shown through action. For us, that means offering UFT members exceptional service, thoughtful communication, and a genuine commitment to long-term wellness. Every visit is our way of saying thank you for the important work you do.
Teachers juggle countless responsibilities, and we understand that flexibility matters. We offer appointment scheduling designed to fit your busy life, including early and extended hours when available.
We also provide options that make high-quality care accessible, whether through your UFT coverage or our in-office payment plans. Our team will help you navigate every detail, from benefit reviews to financial arrangements, so you can focus on your health without stress.
Our UFT patients choose Chroma Dental because they feel the difference in how they are treated. They notice that our team listens first, acts with integrity, and takes pride in delivering the best possible results. They recognize that our care is thoughtful, detailed, and designed for their long-term success.
Teachers are professionals who understand the value of preparation, precision, and follow-through and those same qualities define our approach to dentistry. We believe in doing things right the first time, with care and attention that reflect respect for your time and trust.
Over time, many educators become lifelong patients, not because we treat them differently, but because we treat them consistently, with kindness, transparency, and excellence.
Teachers are the foundation upon which strong communities are built. Every lesson, every word of encouragement, and every spark of curiosity they inspire ripples outward shaping not only individual students, but entire generations. Their influence extends far beyond the classroom. Teachers nurture confidence, creativity, and resilience in their students, equipping them with the skills and mindset needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Yet, behind every successful student is an educator who gives endlessly of themselves. Long hours, emotional investment, and the daily challenge of managing dozens of unique personalities can take a toll both physically and mentally. At Chroma Dental, we see educators as community heroes, and we recognize that caring for those who care for others is one of the most meaningful things we can do.
Supporting teachers’ health is an investment in the strength of our neighborhoods, schools, and families. When educators are healthy, confident, and energized, they are able to inspire more, lead more effectively, and create lasting positive change. That’s why we consider it both an honor and a responsibility to provide the care they deserve.
The connection between overall health and oral health is profound. A healthy smile doesn’t just affect how you look, it impacts how you feel, how you communicate, and how you show up in the world. For teachers, whose voices and expressions are essential tools of their profession, maintaining excellent oral health is especially important.
A confident, comfortable smile allows educators to speak clearly, project positivity, and engage their students without distraction or discomfort. Healthy gums and teeth also contribute to better systemic health, helping prevent issues such as inflammation, fatigue, or chronic discomfort that can interfere with the energy and presence teaching demands.
Regular dental care supports long-term vitality, ensuring that educators can continue to share their knowledge and passion without interruption. It also reinforces self-assurance, something that radiates into every classroom interaction.
At Chroma Dental, we view dental health as a pillar of professional and personal wellness for teachers. When educators feel their best, they teach their best. By prioritizing preventive care and supporting every stage of oral health, we help ensure that the individuals shaping tomorrow’s minds can continue to do so with strength, confidence, and joy.
Your UFT plan is an important resource, and our role is to help you make the most of it. We see it as a tool that supports better access to care, not as a set of restrictions.
When combined with Chroma Dental’s commitment to modern dentistry and patient-first philosophy, it allows teachers to experience the best of both worlds, quality care and peace of mind.
We are proud to serve the educators of New York City and to be part of a community that values learning, service, and care. Together, we can ensure that your smile reflects the same confidence and energy that you bring to your classroom every day.
