How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

To get emergency dental treatment, the first step is to call our team to notify us of your situation so we can help pencil you in for an appointment. Of course, if you’re experiencing a more dire condition, such as a broken/dislocated jaw, excessive bleeding, or trouble breathing/swallowing, then you’ll need to head straight to your local ER instead. Though they may not be equipped to address dental issues, they can at least stabilize you and keep you pain-free until you can be treated. At Amaze Dental, we offer same-day appointments, that way you are more likely to undergo the necessary care at a moment’s notice. Don’t forget that dental emergencies are usually signs of “bigger” oral problems, so it’s best to schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months to minimize your risks and save money. 

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?

On average, the cost of tooth extractions throughout the United States is typically somewhere between $150 and $400. The exact price of the treatment can fluctuate based on various factors, including geography and a patient’s dental health. You might also consider additional fees from any other services that you might require during the process, such as sedation dentistry. Those who are currently insured may have their expenses negotiated by their provider and the dentist, allowing them to save more. Wisdom teeth extractions also typically come with a higher cost, as they often require specialized help from an oral surgeon.

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

The ideal place for undergoing dental care should involve many of the factors you find important for you, which can be a mixture of things like hours of operation, location, insurance, payment/fees, credentials, and safety. You should also establish which kind(s) of treatment you’re interested in or need, such as if you require tooth-replacement options, cosmetic dental work, or sedation dentistry to keep you relaxed during your visit. Getting familiar with your dental team is also just as crucial, this way you can see how they treat their patients and what you can expect from their services. Fortunately, our team practices a one-on-one approach, that way every patient gets the custom work necessary to treat their unique smiles.

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

Dentistry is mainly about prevention, meaning you’ll want to practice oral hygiene every day and visit your dentist biannually for checkups and cleanings to minimize your expenses. Dental insurance is an incredible tool for helping you save money, so be sure to make the most of your benefits by consulting your provider or our team. We also have an in-house dental savings plan that can give you 20-50% discounts on various procedures with one low annual fee. Our team also has various periodic special offers to help you save on different types of services, and we’re even partnered with CareCredit which can help you finance your treatments with low-to-no-interest monthly payments!
