Dentist – Mt. Pleasant

How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

If you require emergency dentistry, you’ll want to call our office right away for starters. Someone on our team should be able to guide you on your next steps so that you can get the care you need. However, if your situation is more severe, such as a dislocated/broken jaw or difficulty breathing or swallowing, then you’ll want to call 911 instead.

Local ERs may not be fully equipped to address specific dental cases, but they can at least minimize your discomfort and provide you with antibiotics to avoid infection. Once you’re able to visit our emergency dentist, you can expect to get a same-day appointment. Be sure to always give us a call if you have any concerns or suspect that you may have a dental emergency, and we’ll be more than happy to help.

How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Mt Pleasant?

The price of a dental checkup and cleaning can be wide-ranging based on various factors, such as geography and a person’s dental health. Generally speaking, these visits can usually cost between $200 and $350 across the United States. After you’ve arrived at your dentist’s office, you can expect your appointment to involve a review of your health/dental history, a discussion about your dental goals and concerns, X-rays, an examination and oral cancer screening, and a professional cleaning. If you have a dental insurance plan, your fees can be negotiated by your dentist and your insurance provider so that you can minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

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

The best place to get your dental work done will, first and foremost, fit what’s important to you. This can be a combination of several factors, such as location, hours, insurance/payment and fees, safety, and cleanliness. Additionally, you’ll want to know what kind of services you’re interested in, such as preventive, cosmetic, or restorative. Do you need to fix a chipped tooth, improve dental stains, or simply need to schedule your next dental checkup? Choosing a dentist who offers the treatments you’re looking for will help smooth the process. Lastly, you’ll want to know how the dental team treats their patients and their approach to one-on-one care. Fortunately, our team prioritizes our patient’s dental goals and works hard to develop a treatment plan that best fits their needs.  

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

It’s important to remember that dentistry is mostly about prevention. You’ll be able to save more money in the long run by visiting your dentist for biannual checkups and cleanings, as they can help monitor your oral health and address problems before they become bigger issues. Dental insurance is an incredibly useful tool for helping you minimize your out-of-pocket expenses, so be sure to make the most out of it if you have a plan. Even if you don’t have an insurance carrier, our team works with CareCredit which has plans that can split your treatment costs into monthly installments that come with low to no interest. In any case, we’ll work closely with you so that you can get the services you need without worrying about breaking the bank.
