Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?

When your tooth is in serious pain or you are suffering from visible dental damage, you will naturally want to see the dentist as soon as you can. Our practice is happy to offer same-day appointments in emergency situations. All you need to do is call our office and speak to one of our team members; once we know what’s going on, we can make arrangements to see you quickly.

Once your same-day appointment begins, our team will carefully examine your entire mouth to determine the nature and severity of your emergency. We will also help you find relief from your immediate pain. After gathering the necessary information, we can put together a plan for restoring the health of your smile. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible for us to perform certain treatments as part of your same-day appointment.

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

Maybe you are specifically looking for a dental practice that will take your insurance. Perhaps you’re primarily concerned about finding an office that’s in a location that you can easily get to. Or you might be searching for a dentist who offers a specific kind of service that your smile needs.

Whatever traits matter the most to you, it’s important to keep them in mind while searching for a dental practice. You might find it helpful to make a list of what you want so that you can specifically look for practices that meet the criteria that you’ve set. Don’t forget to look the practice up on Google so that you can read some of the reviews that they have received; the perspective of past patients is always helpful when choosing a dentist.

How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Wallingford?

The average cost of a dental checkup and cleaning in the United States is in the range of $200 and $350. However, that alone isn’t the full story. The location of the dental practice, your dental health, and other factors can all influence the price tag of preventive dentistry. Also, if you have dental insurance, the specifics of your plan will determine the amount that you will need to pay out of your own pocket.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Pulled Without Insurance?

There are multiple factors that can affect the cost of a tooth extraction. Naturally, the number of teeth involved can make a difference, as can the overall difficulty of the procedure. We can give you an estimate of how much you can expect to pay for your tooth extraction once we have examined your mouth.  Bear in mind that a wisdom tooth extraction will typically cost more than a regular tooth extraction.
