Read on to learn more or reach out to our office if you wish to make an appointment!
Be sure to give our team a call right away if you suspect you have a dental emergency. Someone on our staff may be able to help pencil you in and provide instructions on your next best steps until you can be treated. Remember, however, that more serious issues will require a visit to your local ER instead, such as a broken/dislocated jaw, uncontrollable bleeding, and difficulty swallowing/breathing. They might be able to address the dental problem, but they can at least keep you safe and pain-free until you can see your dentist.
Our practice welcomes same-day appointments as well as weekend visits by appointment, so you should be able to get the treatment you need as quickly as possible. Keep in mind that many dental emergencies are signs of “bigger” oral health problems, making it incredibly important to maintain great oral hygiene every day and visit your dentist biannually for checkups and cleanings.
Firstly, you need to establish what is important to you when undergoing dental treatment. This can involve a mixture of factors like location, credentials, hours, payments/fees, insurance, organization, and safety. Of course, you’ll want to keep in mind the kind of services you’re interested in or require, such as cosmetic, restorative, and emergency procedures. Some practices are better suited for certain types of treatments than others. Also, you should try getting a feel for the dental team so that you know their credentials as well as how they interact with patients. You can even read our dentist and staff bios to become familiar with our backgrounds and education before coming to our office!
Around a third of all dentists in the United States are female. Even more interestingly, above 50% of all dental school students today are also female. If you are searching for a dentist in this population, Google is likely the best place to begin. Simply search female dentist near me and you should get the precise results you’re looking for. Otherwise, make sure to read the “Meet the Dentist” section of the dental team’s website so that you can get familiar with a dentist’s background and expertise.
Remember that dentistry is all about prevention, meaning that practicing good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist every six months is the best way to save money while maintaining your smile. If you have dental insurance, make sure to speak with your provider and/or our dental team so that you can make the most of your benefits. If you aren’t insured, feel free to explore financing through CareCredit—a third-party financier that can make your overall cost of treatment into monthly installments that come with little to zero interest. Speak with our team and we’ll be glad to walk you through your options for saving money on dental care.
