How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

To get emergency dental treatment, you’ll first need to notify our practice right after your incident. One of our staff members will be able to help provide instructions for your next best steps and pencil you in for a visit. Our practice focuses on same-day treatments and we’re open in the evenings and on Saturdays. Even if we aren’t open, our voicemail may guide you on who to contact if you need immediate care. If you’re experiencing a more serious situation, such as difficulty swallowing or breathing or a broken jaw, then call 911 right away instead. Though your local ER may not be fully equipped to handle dental cases, they can at least relieve your symptoms. To reduce your risk of needing emergency dental care, be sure to practice good oral hygiene every day and visit your dentist for checkups twice a year or more.

How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?

For a same-day appointment, make sure to call our office directly, as you won’t receive an answer as quickly with an email. This will also give our team a better chance to understand your situation and develop the proper treatment plan to address it once you arrive at our practice. In many cases, dental offices hold an extra operatory (exam room) whenever they need to handle a dental emergency or same-day visits. Once you arrive at your appointment, we’ll assess your oral health, eliminate any discomfort you might be experiencing, and provide the necessary services to get you back to oral health.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?

Most dentistry is about prevention, as avoiding oral health problems is the best way to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses to preserve your smile. Dental insurance is also a great tool for making your dental care more manageable, so be sure to make the most of your benefits. If you don’t have a plan, you can explore alternative financing options, such as our in-house dental plan that offers 20% discounts on multiple services with one annual fee. We’re also partnered with third-party financiers like CareCredit and Sunbit, which can split the bill into monthly installments that come with little to no interest.

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

While the overall cost of tooth extraction can vary based on things like geography and your dental health, the average fee across the United States is anywhere between $150 and $400. Other factors like the difficulty of the procedure and additional treatments, such as sedation dentistry, can also affect the price. Patients with dental insurance can typically have their fees adjusted after the dentist and their provider have negotiated the values. If you require wisdom tooth extractions, then you might expect a higher upfront cost, as you may need an oral surgeon to perform the procedure.
