Schwartz Family Dentistry

What Schwartz Family Dentistry does

Schwartz Family Dentistry (legal entity Kenneth D. Schwartz DDS PC) is a privately-held, single-location family dental practice operating from 833 Union Street in the Historic Triangle District of Schenectady, NY. Founded in 1983 by Dr. Kenneth D. Schwartz, the practice has served the Schenectady County and Capital Region for over 40 years and is currently staffed by approximately 10 people, including two dentists (Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Alexandra Tarasova, who joined in 2023 after completing her residency at St. Peter's Hospital Dental Clinic), two hygienists, two dental assistants and two business/administrative staff. The patient base is multigenerational, with families spanning children from age three through seniors, and the practice positions itself around continuity of care, multilingual service (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Tagalog/Filipino, basic Spanish) and an anxiety-reducing office environment with no lunch closure and 24/7 on-call doctor coverage.

The clinical service portfolio is full-scope family dentistry. Core offerings include preventive care (cleanings, exams, sealants, fluoride, digital and panoramic x-rays, periodontal therapy, oral cancer screening), restorative care (composite fillings, porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, implant-supported prosthetics) and cosmetic services. Specialty offerings differentiated by in-house technology include Invisalign clear-aligner therapy, sleep apnea oral appliances, dental implant placement and restoration, endodontic root canal therapy, surgical and wisdom-tooth extractions, bone augmentation and soft tissue laser surgery. The practice operates digital x-ray and CAT scan (3D) imaging for diagnostic precision, soft tissue laser for surgical procedures, and Zoom Quick Pro in-office whitening. Compliance posture is anchored to OSHA and ADA infection-control protocols and HIPAA privacy requirements, with autoclave sterilization and surface disinfection between patients.

The business model is fee-for-service direct-to-consumer dental care, supplemented by participation with nine named insurance networks (Anthem, Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Guardian PPO, Blue Shield of Northeastern New York, Empire PPO300, WellPoint, Unicare, Delta Dental Premiere). Patient acquisition is community-led through word-of-mouth and 40+ years of local reputation, supported by a website (schwartzfamilydentistry.com), Facebook presence and downloadable patient forms; there are no marketplace listings, channel partners, or paid digital advertising channels of scale. Payment options include checks, cash, and major credit cards, with internal payment plans for uninsured patients requiring extensive work (half at time of service, balance within six months, 1.5% monthly finance charge after 60 days). Revenue, ownership structure beyond the founder, and any external capital are not publicly disclosed.
