How do I get emergency dental care?
If your situation is life-threatening, you should call 911. However, if your
dental emergency
is not life-threatening, give us a call. Let us know exactly what is going on so we can give you further instructions. The majority of hospital emergency rooms are unable to address dental emergencies because they are not properly equipped for them, so you will be unlikely to get to the root of the problem there. Fortunately, we are happy to provide same-day appointments for patients who are experiencing a dental emergency. We also offer evening and Saturday hours. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help!
What do you do if you can’t afford a dentist?
Dental insurance is an effective tool to help pay for your dental care. If you have access to it, it is worthwhile to take advantage of this benefit. We accept Delta Dental, MetLife Dental, Aetna Dental, Cigna Dental, BlueCross BlueShield, and many more insurance plans. If you don’t have dental insurance, third-party financing companies, like CareCredit, can split the cost of your dental treatment into manageable monthly installments with little-to-no interest if you are approved. Getting essential dental care shouldn’t mean breaking the bank!
