In either case, we want to ensure that you have a smooth process of getting the information you’re looking for so that you can feel well-informed. That’s why we’ve compiled some of our most frequently asked questions and their answers!
When it comes to dentistry, prevention is the name of the game. Practicing good oral hygiene every day and scheduling dental checkups and cleanings every six months are the best ways to keep your smile healthy as well as save money. That said, problems can occur at any moment, so it’s good to know your financial options. If you currently have dental insurance, be sure to utilize your coverage for preventive care as well as the assistance you can get for restorative services. Those without an insurance plan might consider signing up for a plan with a third-party financier like CareCredit, which can turn your treatment costs into monthly, low-to-no-interest payments. Our team also has an in-house dental savings plan that can give you great discounts on various services after paying a one-time fee.
Keep in mind that there isn’t a single designation qualifying a dentist to be a cosmetic professional. Instead, multiple organizations provide extensive training on cosmetic dentistry, and you’ll want to find someone who has undergone advanced courses from one of them. Fortunately, Dr. Harless is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), which is one of the highest-profile organizations for cosmetic dental services in the United States. This makes her an incredibly knowledgeable professional and you can expect to receive dazzling results once she’s helped enhance your smile.
In many cases, tooth extraction in most places throughout the United States can cost anywhere between $150 and $400. The exact cost of the treatment can change depending on factors like geography, a patient’s oral health, and the difficulty of the process of removing the tooth. If you require any other additional services, this can add to the overall amount. Of course, if you have dental insurance, your policy might involve tooth extractions for coverage. Double-check with your provider to make sure there aren’t any surprises.
The answer will generally depend on a number of factors. Firstly, you’ll need to define what you think is important, such as hours of operation, credentials, safety, location, insurance, cleanliness, and payment/fees. It’s important to also know which services you require, such as if you need to rebuild your smile with dental implants, extract a tooth, or improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry. Lastly, you’ll want to get familiar with your dental team and how they treat their patients. For instance, our staff at Southwest Dental Arts prioritizes personalized care so that we can address every patient’s unique needs.
