Frequently Asked Questions

We love helping people learn more about dentistry! Check out the following FAQs to see how we’ve answered some of our patients’ common dental questions. If there’s anything else you want to know, don’t hesitate to ask our team.

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

Whether you need a cosmetic dentist in Norwood to improve the appearance of your smile or a general dentist who can help keep your teeth free of cavities, it’s important to consider your options carefully before choosing a dental practice. To narrow down your choices, you can make a list of the traits that you want your new practice to have; this likely includes accepting your dental insurance, being located nearby, and having hours that work with your schedule.

If you find a potentially suitable practice, try visiting their website; you’ll likely be able to find bios about the dentists who work there, which can give you a firmer grasp of their credentials and their approach to care. Additionally, you can get a feel for what it’s like to be a patient at the practice in question by reading the reviews they’ve received on Google and Facebook.

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

If you ever have a dental issue that’s urgent enough to warrant a same-day appointment, all you need to do is give our office a call! Our team will ask questions to make sure we fully understand your situation before making the necessary arrangements to get you the care you need as quickly as possible. During a same-day appointment, we will carefully examine your mouth to figure out what the problem is, and we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that will put you on the right track to getting the relief you deserve.

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

In the United States, a dental checkup and cleaning often costs between $200 and $350. It’s important to note that different practices will charge different fees for their services based on their geographical location. Additionally, factors such as your dental health can affect the overall cost of your regular dental visits.

If you have dental insurance, don’t forget to double-check your benefits. Some plans will fully cover the cost of preventive care, which naturally includes routine checkups and cleanings.

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

Our team is happy to work with you to make your dental care as affordable as possible. We gladly accept a wide variety of dental insurance plans and will help you find the best way to maximize your benefits. On top of that, we can offer financing through CareCredit, allowing you to break up the cost of your care into a more manageable monthly payment plan. Remember, paying for dental care now can ultimately help you avoid more serious oral health issues in the future.
