How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
First things first: call our office if you suspect you’re experiencing a dental emergency. Someone on our team will be able to help guide you on your next steps and schedule you for the earliest appointment. That said, remember to call 911 or head straight to your local ER if your situation is more severe, such as a dislocated/broken jaw, trouble breathing/swallowing, or uncontrollable bleeding. Most emergency rooms won’t be equipped to handle dental problems, but they can at least address discomfort. Also, it’s good to know that dental emergencies are typically signs of a “bigger” underlying issue, so visiting your dentist for preventive care can be a sure way to save you money, time, and trouble in the long run.
How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost Near Billerica?
On average, the cost of dental checkups and cleanings throughout the United States is typically between $200 and $300. The price, of course, will depend on a variety of factors, including geography and a patient’s dental health. During these visits, you should expect to undergo a series of tasks that begins with an overview of your medical and dental health history as well as any concerns you might have. We’ll then perform an oral examination, take X-rays, do an oral cancer screening, and provide a professional cleaning. If you have dental insurance, our practice might be able to negotiate the fees with your provider.
What Is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the pinnacle of tooth replacement solutions, and you’ll want to choose wisely before picking any dentist to work with. Firstly, the procedure involves two portions: placement and restoration. While some offices might refer you to an outside specialist for the first stage of the procedure, our team can complete every step of the treatment in-house. Secondly, you’ll want to search for a dentist who has extensive education and experience with performing dental implant treatment. Fortunately, Dr. Kostas has also undergone advanced training in this topic and is also an active member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
Remember that dentistry is all about prevention, so the most affordable way to take care of your smile is to visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. You’ll also want to make the most of any dental insurance benefits that you might have to further reduce your out-of-pocket expenses if possible. Be sure to consult your provider or even our knowledgeable team to help you navigate your policy. Our practice offers an in-house savings plan to give patients 15% discounts on all dental services with just one low annual fee. Finally, we also provide plans through CareCredit—a third-party financier that can break up the overall price of treatment into monthly, low-to-no-interest installments so you can undergo more affordable care!
