We know how important it is for you to maximize your dental insurance benefits and we're here to assist you in that process. To ensure that you can use your insurance with us, we encourage you to get in touch with your insurance provider to confirm that our practice is included in their network of covered providers.
At this time, our practice is not directly in-network with Medical Assistance (MA) plans. We recommend discussing with us the various payment and financing options we offer that can make your dental care manageable and affordable.
A dental emergency is any situation involving the mouth, teeth, or gums requiring immediate medical attention. Common examples of dental emergencies include severe toothache or pain, facial swelling, broken or chipped teeth, tooth abscesses, bleeding gums, and trauma to the mouth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical care from an emergency dentist.
Yes. While in some cases, it may be possible for over-the-counter medications to relieve some pain or discomfort associated with a dental injury or infection, only an experienced dentist can accurately diagnose the problem and determine the most appropriate course of treatment. It is essential to see a dentist when experiencing signs of a dental emergency to avoid further damage and ensure prompt and effective treatment.
Generally speaking, it is best to contact an emergency dentist for issues related specifically to your teeth or gums. Emergency rooms typically do not have dentists on staff who are qualified and experienced in dealing with those types of issues. Therefore, they may not be able to provide the most timely and effective treatments if they are unable to properly diagnose what type of issue you are experiencing.
The cost of treating a dental emergency can vary depending on the severity and complexity of the issue. With that said, we understand that emergency dentistry may not be cheap, but we make it affordable! Our team will help maximize your insurance benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer affordable financing options, with or without insurance, as well as cash discounts for payments made in full.
