Dentist - Woodstock, GA

Dental emergencies can take many different forms, and some are more severe than others. If there’s a problem involving your mouth that could put your life in immediate danger (such as a fractured jaw), you should call 911. However, many dental issues are not life-threatening but nevertheless require prompt attention. For these types of dental emergencies, you should see your dentist as soon as possible.

You can schedule an emergency dental appointment with our team by giving our office a call. One of our staff members will listen carefully to you as you describe your symptoms. They will then help you set up an appointment, and they will give you advice for managing the situation at home.

When comparing dental offices in your area, it can be helpful to ask these questions:

• Which practices will take my insurance?
• What kind of office hours am I looking for?
• How close should the practice be to my home or workplace?
• What services do I want my new dental practice to have?

The answers to these questions can be very helpful in narrowing down which dental practice best suits your needs. When you have found a practice that you like, take the time to learn more about them. Review the dentist’s biography to get an idea of their credentials, and visit the practice’s Google and Facebook pages to see what kind of feedback they’ve received.

The location of the dental practice, the state of your dental health, and other factors can all play a role in determining the overall cost of a routine checkup and cleaning. In the United States, the average cost of these visits is in the range of $200 to $350. Of course, dental insurance also needs to be taken into account; coverage for preventive care is often anywhere from 80% to 100%, although the exact percentage depends on what plan you have.

Remember that a dental checkup and cleaning should consist of the following:

• A discussion of your oral health history and any concerns you might have regarding your smile.
• A thorough examination of the teeth and gums.
• A professional cleaning for removing plaque and tartar.
• An oral cancer screening.

X-rays may also be taken during the visit in order to identify hidden oral health issues.

On average, the cost of a tooth extraction in the United States is between $150 and $400. However, the price of the procedure can vary quite a bit based on a number of factors, such as how complex the procedure is. Our team can give you an estimate regarding the cost of your tooth extraction after a careful examination of your mouth has been performed.
