Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

When you have a life-threatening oral problem such as a fractured jaw, your first step should always be to call 911. However, dental emergencies that don’t put your life in immediate danger are another story. They should still be treated as soon as possible, but you’re unlikely to get the care you need at an emergency room because the doctors there don’t have the necessary training or equipment.

The best thing to do if you’re suffering from a dental emergency is to call our office. Our team will give you first-aid tips for managing your symptoms at home before making arrangements to see you as soon as we can. We can often schedule a same-day appointment, and we’re also able to offer assistance on weekends; this can make it significantly easier to get the relief that your smile deserves as quickly as possible.

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

What kind of dental practice are you looking for? Are you specifically looking for a place that will take your dental insurance? Are you worried about finding a location that’s close enough to your home or workplace? Are there any services that you want to make absolutely sure that the dentist offers?

Write down everything that’s important to you in a new dental practice. Then, when you’re exploring your options, you can narrow down your search to offices that have the traits you’re looking for. Upon finding a practice that you’re interested in, you can check their Google and Facebook pages to read reviews from past patients, and you can find out more about the credentials of the dentists by looking over their online biographies.

How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Center, TX?

Across the United States, the cost of a dental checkup and cleaning often falls between $200 and $350. However, giving a more precise estimate can be tricky because different dental offices may have different fees for their services based on where they’re located. Other factors may end up influencing the price, with the current state of your dental health being a significant example.

Dental insurance can often help pay for routine dental checkups and cleanings. Double-check your dental insurance policy to see what kind of coverage is available for preventive care.

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

This is not a question with a set answer. Tooth extractions often cost between $150 and $400 in the United States, but the exact price for your specific procedure will be determined by a number of variables, including:

  • How many teeth need to be taken out.
  • The location of the teeth being removed (which can affect the difficulty of the procedure).
  • Whether you want to have dental sedation administered for the treatment.

An estimate can be created during your initial consultation once our team gathers more information about your tooth and the overall state of your mouth.
