How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

If you need emergency dental care, call our office immediately. Our team will guide you on the next steps to ensure you receive the necessary care. For severe situations, such as a dislocated jaw or difficulty breathing, call 911 right away.

Local emergency rooms may not handle specific dental issues, but they can minimize discomfort and provide antibiotics. Once you visit our emergency dentist, we’ll strive to offer same-day treatment. If you have any concerns or suspect a dental emergency, contact us immediately. We’re here to help!

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

Finding the best dental office depends on your priorities. Consider the following factors:

• Location and Hour – Choose a conveniently located office with hours that fit your schedule.
• Insurance/Payment and Fees – Ensure the practice accepts your insurance or offers suitable payment plans.
• Safety and Cleanliness – The office should maintain high standards of hygiene.
• Services Offered – Identify the type of dental work you need (i.e., preventive, cosmetic, or restorative) and choose a dentist who provides these services.
• Patient Care – Look for a team that prioritizes patient care and offers personalized treatment plans.

Our team focuses on your smile goals and will develop a treatment plan that best fits your needs, ensuring a smooth and satisfying experience.

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

Even if you’re concerned about costs, it’s crucial to continue scheduling checkups and cleanings. Ignoring dental issues can lead to more severe problems that require more time and money to fix.

To save money, choose a dentist in-network with your provider. Our practice accepts many insurance plans, including Delta Dental Premier and BlueCross BlueShield. We also offer CareCredit financing and an in-house membership plan to help manage out-of-pocket expenses.

What Type of Education Do Dentists Have?

In the United States, aspiring dentists must earn a bachelor’s degree and attend an accredited dental school to obtain a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. Dental school typically takes at least three years and includes classroom instruction and hands-on training.

Dentists who wish to specialize in one of the 12 specializations recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA) must undergo an additional three years of training. To maintain licensure, all dentists must complete a certain number of continuing education hours annually, ensuring they stay up to date with the latest advancements in dental care.
