Probably not. The statute of limitations for breach of contract in New York is 6 years. The statute can be extended if you made partial payments over the years. If the dentist previously sued you and entered a judgement against you, that judgement would be valid for 20 years in New York. If you need an attorney to respond on your behalf, please feel free to contact my office.
Good luck.
