To get a better idea of what we offer, review the list provided below and call us with any questions.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry
When it comes to emergency dentistry, patients often have two concerns: pain and price. In addition to alleviating any discomfort you’re experiencing, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost of your treatment and review the different financial solutions available at your visit. In the meantime, you can read on to learn more on the topic, including if dental insurance usually covers a portion of the price.
Why Every Dental Emergency is Different
Since each case is different, the cost of emergency dentistry in Dublin isn’t the same across the board. In order to provide you with an accurate price estimate, our qualified dentists need to consider several factors, including the dental injury at hand, how severe it is, the treatment needed to restore your healthy smile, and whether or not you have dental insurance. Rest assured, we’re here to help make navigating the financial side of your care stress-free, not stressful.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
Oftentimes, yes! We are proud to work with several popular providers as well, including Delta Dental, Aetna, and Cigna, so don’t hesitate to provide us with your membership information. From there, we can review your coverage, provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses, and answer any questions you have. Then, we can get to work submitting the paperwork!
Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable
If you are uninsured, that’s okay – that’s not the only financial solution we welcome at our Dublin dental office. With CareCredit, you can space out the cost of your care into smaller, more manageable chunks that work with your monthly budget. Signing up only takes a few minutes, there are several convenient payment plans available, and many have little-to-no interest attached, too!
How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money
If you want to protect your smile (and your wallet) from a serious dental injury, we have good news: many are largely preventable! That’s why we’re always encouraging our patients to incorporate healthy habits into their daily routine, like wearing a mouthguard while they exercise, brushing for two full minutes each morning and night, and exercising caution with crunchy foods. That said, it’s equally as important to steer clear of harmful habits that can wreak havoc on your oral health, like smoking.
Important reminder: Your biannual visits to our office play a crucial role in catching dental problems before they escalate. So, make them a priority, even if you aren’t experiencing any abnormal symptoms right now.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Preventing a dental emergency is far better than waiting for one to occur. While it is true that certain instances cannot always be avoided (i.e., a hard hit or sudden fall), there are steps you can take to lower your risk and keep your smile intact:
- Stay on top of your oral hygiene routine in the morning and at night.
- Continue to see your dentist at Waterford Dental Group every six months for dental checkups and teeth cleanings.
- Eat nutritious, healthy foods that do not consist heavily of sugars and starches.
- Wear appropriate mouth protection to avoid damaged teeth during a game or while you sleep if you struggle with bruxism.
- Never use your teeth as tools.
- Give up unhealthy habits that can damage your smile, such as smoking, eating ice, chewing on inanimate objects, and biting your fingernails.
