For those who wish to know more about dental treatments or have any concerns, a phone call is the best way to get in contact with our team. However, some may prefer researching on their own, or their schedules are busier than most. For that, we’ve compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions from our patients and the surrounding communities. Read on to learn more or give us a call to schedule an appointment with us!
The ideal location to get your dental treatment performed will depend on a wide range of factors that you’ll need to consider, primarily those that you deem important for you. For starters, this can be a combination of things such as geography, hours, credentials, insurance/payment, and safety. Of course, you’ll also need to figure out the kind of treatment(s) you’re interested in or need. Do you only need a checkup and cleaning or are you looking to improve or repair your teeth? Last but not least, make sure to visit the practice to get a feel for their patient interaction. Our team, for instance, focuses on delivering personalized care and providing one-on-one attention so you can enjoy custom and lasting results for a healthy smile. Don’t forget to check out the team and dentist bios on the website to learn more about our staff.
You’ll need to call our practice right away if you have a dental emergency. Sending an email may take too long, especially if your situation is more serious. With a phone call, someone on our team will be able to help pencil you in, as we welcome same-day appointments. Remember, however, that life-threatening conditions, such as difficulty breathing/swallowing or a dislocated/broken jaw will require immediate attention from your local ER, as they can help stabilize you first before you can come to visit us for any dental-related issues. Don’t forget that most dental emergencies typically stem from untreated oral health problems that are easily preventable, so be sure to schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings biannually to avoid urgent situations.
You must remember that dentistry is all about prevention, so going for dental checkups and cleanings will always be the best way to minimize your expenses. If you have a dental insurance plan, we’ll be more than happy to help you file claims and make the most of your benefits. We also offer an in-house membership program that provides significant discounts on multiple services for a monthly fee. We’re even partnered with CareCredit and Proceed Finance to help further minimize your out-of-pocket costs, as you’ll pay monthly installments that come with little to no interest!
The exact cost of dental checkups and cleanings will generally depend on factors like geography and a person’s oral health. On average, however, you can expect your visit to cost anywhere between $200 and $350. Of course, those with dental insurance may have their fees negotiated by their provider and the dentist. During these appointments, you should expect to undergo a discussion about your dental/medical history as well as a thorough oral examination, X-rays, a professional cleaning, and an oral cancer screening.
