If you’re interested in learning about the kind of dental care you can undergo or have concerns about your current oral health, it’s always best to reach out to our office by phone. This will allow one of our front desk members to help you get the information you’re looking for as quickly as possible. However, if you aren’t able to call or you prefer to research online, our team can help make this process go smoother by providing some of our most frequently asked questions from our patients—along with their answers!
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
You always first want to call the dental practice if you suspect you need emergency treatment. Someone on the team will be able to help notify the office about your situation and schedule you for an appointment. However, if your condition is more serious or life-threatening, then you’ll need to call 911 instead and/or head straight to your local ER for help. They might not have a dentist on staff, but they can at least help provide antibiotics and stabilize your situation until you can get treated. Our practice offers same-day appointments, and we’re available on select Saturdays, that way you have the best chance of getting the care you need when you need it most. Remember that many dental emergencies are signs of bigger underlying issues that can be prevented with dental checkups, so be sure to visit your dentist every six months to save yourself time and trouble.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
You will need to consider several factors when finding the ideal place to undergo dentistry, which may include a combination of things like hours of operation, location, credentials, cleanliness, insurance/payment and fees, and safety. Additionally, you’ll want to know which kind of treatment you require or are interested in, such as if you need to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry or fix a cracked tooth with restorative care. Finally, pay attention to how the dental team interacts with their patients. Do they offer personalized treatment tailored for each unique patient? You can also get familiar with the team by reading their bios on their website.
How Much Does it Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?
The price of tooth extractions can vary depending on different factors, such as geography and a patient’s current oral health. In most cases, however, the average cost of this procedure throughout the United States is usually between $150 and $400. The specific amount can also change based on things like the complexity of the process as well as if any sedation was necessary. Wisdom tooth extractions also tend to come with a higher price due to their location and the likelihood of needing specialized services. Of course, if you have dental insurance, the cost of your treatment may be negotiated by your dentist and insurance provider.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
Dental insurance is one of the greatest tools for helping patients afford care without having to spend too much of their own money. Of course, if you aren’t currently insured, then you’ll want to explore alternative ways to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. Fortunately, our team offers in-house dental plans that allow patients to enjoy around 30% discounts on various services after paying one flat membership fee. We’re also partnered with CareCredit, which can help turn your treatment prices into monthly payments instead, and these plans usually come with little to zero interest.
