History
Established in 1995.
Dr. Glen Shanock grew up in the midst of the dental world. His father, two uncles, and a cousin all worked as dental professionals, so it was only natural that he would follow in their footsteps. However, rather than embark on a career in dentistry right away, he worked as a computer programmer for a while before he decided to attend dental school.
With encouragement from his fellow dental students and his wife, he decided to pursue the extra training required to become a pediatric dentist. Today, he is proud to work alongside Drs. Benny Tong and Anish Gala to provide comprehensive, high-quality care to families in Long Island.
Our practice aims to provide friendly service that is as convenient as possible for our patients. That is why we welcome insurance, offer late and weekend appointments, and utilize the latest dental technology.
