At All Dental Center, our team wants to make sure you feel confident, informed, and prepared to get the dental care you deserve. Of course, if you have questions or concerns about your oral health or our services, a phone call is the quickest way to get the information you need. Still, not everyone’s schedule is the same, and we want to make sure that even those with busier daily routines can get the answers they’re looking for. That’s why we’ve compiled several of our most frequently asked questions from patients in the community.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
If you’re experiencing an urgent situation with your smile, notify our team right away so that we can pencil you in for treatment as soon as possible. If your condition is more dire, such as a broken/dislocated jaw or excessive bleeding, then call 911 immediately and/or head to your local ER for help. They might not treat the dental problem but they can at least stabilize your situation until you can see us for treatment. Our practice offers evening and weekend appointments, that way you can have the highest chance of getting the care you require when you need it. Don’t forget that most dental emergencies are signs of bigger underlying issues that can be avoided, so be sure to schedule your routine checkups and cleanings to save yourself time and money.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
Firstly, consider what you think is important to you when undergoing dental care. You might have multiple things you deem essential, such as location, hours, credentials, cleanliness, and safety. Also, you’ll want to know the kind of services you’re interested in. Do you want to straighten your smile with clear aligners? Do you prefer sedation dentistry while undergoing procedures like tooth extractions? Lastly, get a feel for the practice and dental team. Do they prioritize custom dental care for every patient? Feel free to also read their bios on their website to get more familiar with their backgrounds and expertise.
How Much Does it Cost to Get a Tooth Removed Without Insurance?
A tooth extraction can often vary in price due to factors like geography and a patient’s current oral health. However, you may expect the average cost of the treatment to be anywhere between $150 and $400 in markets across the United States. The exact value of the procedure can also change depending on the complexity of the treatment as well as any additional services you might require for the process, such as sedation dentistry. Wisdom teeth extractions typically involve a higher cost compared to traditional ones, as they generally require the specialized services of an oral surgeon. Of course, if you have dental insurance, then you might expect the price of your tooth removal procedure to be negotiated between your dentist and insurer.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
Prevention is key when it comes to dental care, meaning you can save more money by regularly scheduling your six-month checkups and cleanings. Still, life happens and oral health problems can still occur at any time. If you have dental insurance, then you’ll want to make the most of your benefits before your policy expires. If you don’t have coverage, you might consider saving through Essential Dental Plan which allows you to enjoy discounts on many of our services. You can even sign up for CareCredit to turn the cost of your treatments into monthly payments with low to no interest. We also have periodic special promotions so you can save on certain services!
