Dentist – Plano, TX

Remember to always call our office if you suspect you’re experiencing a dental emergency, as someone on our team can help pencil you in for the earliest appointment. We offer same-day visits along with evening hours and Saturday availability—that way you are more likely to get the treatment you need when the moment calls. However, if your situation is more life-threatening, such as bleeding uncontrollably or a dislocated/broken jaw, then you’ll want to call 911 instead and/or head straight to your local ER. They should at least be able to stabilize your condition and provide antibiotics until you can get dental care. Don’t forget that dental emergencies usually indicate “bigger oral health problems, so it’s best to visit your dentist every six months to minimize your risk of one in the long run.

For dentistry, prevention is the name of the game. Having good oral hygiene and scheduling regular biannual dental checkups and cleanings can help you save money. If you still require dental care, dental insurance is an incredibly helpful tool to make your treatments more cost-effective, especially for preventive services. Other than that, you might also consider signing up for flexible financing through CareCredit, which can turn the overall cost of your procedures into monthly, low-to-no-interest installments. Our practice also offers special deals to lower prices on various services so that patients can save more of their money.

The average tooth extraction in the United States can typically cost around $150 and $400. The exact amount can end up varying depending on things like geography, the difficulty of the removal process, and the current health of the patient. You might also expect additional fees if you receive sedation dentistry or require wisdom teeth extractions, which typically require specialized help from an oral surgeon. If your insurance plan covers this procedure, then you can expect the cost to be negotiated between your provider and dentist.

Firstly, consider what you think is most important for you, such as location, hours, payments and fees/insurance, cleanliness, and safety. Establish the kind of treatment(s) you’re looking for, such as if you want to improve teeth with cosmetic dentistry or replace missing ones with dental implants. Some dentists might be better choices for particular kinds of procedures. Lastly, check out your dental team and how they interact with patients.
