Our team is united by a mission to help patients in and around Owings Mills get the absolute best dental care. So, if you have a question about your oral health, don’t hesitate to ask! In addition to giving us a call directly, you can read on to learn the answers to FAQs we hear from patients.
How do I get emergency dental care?
If you’ve sustained a serious dental injury in the past, like a knocked-out tooth, then you know first-hand how stressful and painful a dental emergency can be. Naturally, determining where to turn for help is a top priority, which is why we always encourage our patients to assess their symptoms. If you are experiencing any potentially life-threatening symptoms (i.e., uncontrollable bleeding, trouble swallowing, difficulty breathing), then you should head to the ER right away. If you aren’t, then you should call our Owings Mills dental team ASAP to schedule an appointment.
How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Owings Mills?
Although there is an average price range in the United States (between $200 and $350), the actual price you pay depends on several factors. One of the biggest ones is dental insurance. After all, if you’re insured, you may not have to pay anything out-of-pocket! Similarly, our in-house membership plan helps make preventive dentistry, including biannual checkups and cleanings, significantly more affordable. For those reasons, we recommend contacting us directly if you want to learn more about the cost.
How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?
Generally speaking, same-day appointments are reserved for dental emergencies, like painful toothaches, loose restorations, and knocked-out teeth. If you’re simply looking to come in for a routine checkup, then you’re still more than welcome to give us a call so we can take a look at our schedule. However, we typically book preventive services weeks and months in advance. Don’t worry though – we will still get an appointment on the calendar as soon as possible!
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
With financial solutions like dental insurance and our in-house membership plan, we can welcome patients with all sorts of budgets! So, if you think that the preventive, restorative, or cosmetic dental care you’re interested in is “too expensive,” we strongly recommend giving us a call. From there, we can learn more about your specific dental needs, discuss the financial solutions we offer more in-depth, and help you find a way to make the treatment you need or want more affordable.
