Frequently
Asked Questions
Do you accept dental insurance for emergency visits?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, MetLife, Cigna, Delta Dental, and more. Our team will help verify your benefits.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
We offer multiple financing options, including CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry, and in-house payment plans to make care affordable.
How soon can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We offer same-day emergency appointments and strive to see patients as soon as possible. Call us immediately for availability.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Try to place the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and visit our office immediately.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Emergency rooms do not provide dental care, but they can prescribe pain medication. It’s best to see a dentist immediately for proper treatment.
What is considered a true dental emergency?
Any issue causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or infection should be treated as an emergency. Call us right away for guidance.
Do you offer sedation for emergency procedures?
Yes, we offer local anesthesia and sedation options for patients with dental anxiety or complex procedures.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
We offer a $79 Emergency Exam Special, which includes a limited exam and X-rays. Additional treatments are discussed before proceeding.
Can an emergency visit prevent tooth loss?
Yes. Seeking immediate dental care can prevent the need for extractions and help save natural teeth whenever possible.
