Frequently Asked Questions

From learning more about checkups and cleanings to understanding the entire dental implant process, we’re here to make sure you’re fully informed and confident about your dental care.

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

First and foremost, you should define the things you deem most important for you regarding a dental visit. This can be a mixture of factors, including location, hours, credentials, insurance/payment and fees, safety, and organization. You will also need to know the kind of dental treatment you’re interested in getting, such as if you want to improve your smile with veneers or want to rebuild missing teeth with dental implants in a single location. Some practices might be better able to provide the services you require. It’s also important to get a feel for the dental team so that you know how they treat their patients and if they focus on personalized care. You can even read the team and dentist bios on their website to learn more about the staff’s experience and education.

How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

To get emergency dental treatment, make sure to call our office first so that someone on the team can get you settled with an appointment. If you have a more serious or life-threatening situation, such as difficulty breathing/swallowing, uncontrollable bleeding, or a broken/dislocated jaw, then call 911 and/or go straight to your local ER. Most emergency rooms won’t be equipped to deal with urgent dental problems but they can at least address your symptoms until you can visit our team for treatment. Our office offers same-day appointments so that you can have the best chance of getting the care you need when you need it most. Remember to visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings, as most emergencies are signs of underlying issues that can be prevented early on.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?

The average price of a tooth extraction across the United States typically falls between $150 and $400, but this amount can vary based on several factors, including geography and the patient’s oral health. If you have dental insurance, the cost for the procedure (including any out-of-pocket co-pays) may be negotiated by your dentist and insurance provider. You might even expect additional fees depending on how difficult your treatment is and if you require sedation dentistry. Wisdom teeth extractions also generally come at a higher price, as they usually require help from a specialist.

How Can I Find a Female Dentist?

Roughly 1/3rd of all dentists currently in the United States are female. Additionally, more than half of all dental school students are female. If this is something you’re searching for, a simple Google search is always the best way to go. Type in female dentist near me, and Google should give you precise and helpful results. If you want to know more about your dental professional, be sure to check the “Meet the Dentist” section on their website so that you can learn about their background and education.
