Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?

A fractured jaw, unstoppable oral bleeding, and swelling that interferes with breathing are all examples of emergencies that can put your life in immediate danger, thus warranting a call to 911. But what about more common dental emergencies such as severe toothaches or teeth that have been knocked out of the mouth? These issues may not put your life at risk, but they are still urgent problems that should be treated as promptly as possible.

The most reliable way to get emergency dental care is to call your dentist, who has been trained to deal with all sorts of problems involving the mouth. Our practice provides same-day emergency appointments for patients who need them, and we have a wide range of treatment options that can help us stop your pain and restore the well-being of your smile.

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

A simple Google search can help you find plenty of dental practices near you. In order to narrow down the one that’s the best fit for you, it’s important to think carefully about your own needs. Identify the traits that matter most to you, then check to see if they’re present in the practice that you’re considering. For example:

  • Does the practice in question accept your dental insurance plan?
  • Does the practice have hours that are convenient for you?
  • Is the practice close to your home or the place you work?
  • Does the practice offer any specific treatments that you or a family member might need?
  • Does the practice put the comfort of patients first?

Obviously, looking at the practice’s website can tell you a lot about them. That said, it can also be worth visiting Google, Facebook, or Yelp to see what kind of feedback they’ve gotten from past patients.

How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in West Seneca, NY?

It’s not unusual for the cost of a dental checkup and cleaning to fall between $200 and $350 in the United States, but it’s worth remembering that there’s no universal price tag. The amount you pay for a dental checkup and cleaning can be influenced by:

  • Where your specific dental practice is located.
  • How healthy your smile currently is.
  • What sort of coverage your dental insurance plan provides for preventive care.

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

It’s worth making room in your budget for dental care so that you can avoid complex or severe oral health issues that might require more expensive treatment. Our practice accepts many different dental insurance plans, and we participate in Healthplex, which can be a good option for seniors with Independent Health Medicare coverage. Patients who do not have insurance may want to instead apply for CareCredit, which offers flexible financing with low to no interest.
