Your routine dental visits can provide an excellent opportunity to ask any dental questions you might have. Don’t be afraid to let us know if you have any inquiries; we’re always grateful for the opportunity to help our patients learn more about dentistry. That said, you can start expanding your dental knowledge right now by reviewing the FAQs below. You can see how our team has responded to a number of questions that are often on the minds of a lot of patients.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
For severe, life-threatening dental emergencies (such as a fractured jaw), you should call 911 right away. But if your life isn’t in danger, you should contact our office for any urgent oral health issues.
We are prepared to treat infected teeth, cracked enamel, and many other types of emergencies. On top of that, you won’t have to worry about waiting too long for treatment; we can schedule a same-day appointment for you so that we can quickly get to the bottom of the issue and determine the most appropriate next steps to take for restoring the health of your smile.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
When you’re looking at a potential new dental practice, take the time to explore their website. Find out important details such as what their office hours look like, what insurance plans they accept, what services are available, and what their overall approach to care is. The more information you have, the easier it is to determine whether a given practice matches what you’re looking for. You can also see what kind of reputation the practice has by checking their reviews on Google and Yelp.
How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Pulled Without Insurance?
We only recommend tooth extraction as a last resort; we prefer to save your teeth whenever possible. If an extraction is required, however, the cost will vary based on:
-
The number of teeth being removed.
-
The complexity of the procedure.
-
Whether the teeth in question will be replaced afterward.
Other factors may also need to be considered. We don’t want you to have any unpleasant surprises after you have already agreed to the treatment, so we will provide you with a trustworthy estimate of how much you will likely need to pay for your extraction.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
One of the easiest ways to make the cost of dental care more manageable is to invest in a good dental insurance plan. To make things easier for our patients, we take a variety of plans and can handle the claims-filing process so you don’t have to. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you’re not out of options. Our practice also works with CareCredit, a well-regarded third-party financing company that takes the stress out of paying for dentistry by dividing the cost into installments.
