Frequently Asked Questions
You can always talk to our team if you have any questions about dentistry. Before you do so, though, you can check the FAQ section below to see if it has the answers you’re looking for.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
What makes a given dental practice a good fit for you depends on what you’re looking for. Many people prioritize finding a dentist who accepts their insurance, is located nearby, has hours that work with their schedule, and offers specific kinds of services. Whether you need dentures in Charlottesville or a routine dental checkup, it’s worth taking the time to carefully consider your own needs so that you can find a practice that meets them.
Before you visit a specific dental practice, you’ll want to find out more about the care they have to offer. Try looking the practice up on Google, Facebook, Healthgrades, or Vitals to read some of the reviews it has received. Learning about the experiences that patients have had in the past can help you decide whether a practice is truly right for you.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
Calling the nearest emergency room may seem like the natural choice for dealing with a dental emergency. However, unless you have a life-threatening problem (such as a fractured jaw), this typically isn’t the best option since the doctors at emergency rooms are often unable to properly treat issues involving the teeth.
If you need emergency dental care, the best thing to do is to call our office right away. Our team will strive to see you as soon as we can so that we can accurately identify the issue and help you get the care you need to achieve lasting relief.
How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Charlottesville, VA?
In the United States, you can often expect a dental checkup and cleaning to cost between $200 and $350. Note that the cost of your visit can be influenced by a number of factors, such as where the practice happens to be located. Also, your dental insurance can affect the amount that you’re responsible for paying out of pocket. Notably, many plans are willing to provide 100% coverage for preventive dentistry services.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
Your first thought may be to simply skip your dental appointments altogether to save money. However, a lack of quality preventive care can easily increase your risk for serious dental issues that could potentially require more costly forms of treatment. It’s therefore better to take whatever steps you can to make necessary dental services less of a strain on your budget.
If you have dental insurance, we can work with you to maximize your benefits. Additionally, we accept CareCredit financing, which lets you pay for your care in more affordable monthly installments.
