Dentist - Virginia Beach, VA

You’re unlikely to get the treatment you need for toothaches, cracked teeth, and other urgent dental issues at the emergency room. Instead, you should get in touch with your dentist to schedule an emergency dental visit. Our team gives priority to emergency patients, and we can schedule same-day appointments whenever necessary. Be sure to call our practice right away if you think you need emergency dental care.

Bear in mind that you should always call 911 if you have an emergency that might put your life in danger. Examples of life-threatening issues involving the mouth include:

• A severe oral injury that won’t stop bleeding no matter how long you put pressure on it.
• A fractured or dislocated jawbone.
• Any swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow.

There are several factors to think about when looking at a dental practice. Will they take your dental insurance plan? Are they located near your home? Do their office hours work with your schedule? Do they offer a comprehensive menu of services? Think very carefully about the traits that matter most to you; this will make it much easier to choose the right dental home.

If you want to learn more about what a practice is like, you can check to see what kind of feedback they’ve gotten on Google or Facebook. Also, oftentimes the practice’s website will include brief biographies of the dentists who work there. By reading these biographies, you can learn more about the dentists and their qualifications.

To maintain a healthy smile, you should make room in your budget for two dental checkups and cleanings each year. The cost of these visits can vary based on variables like where your dental practice is located as well as how healthy your mouth is. In the United States, the average cost of a dental checkup and cleaning is between $200 and $350; however, your dental insurance can affect the amount that you pay out of your own pocket, so make sure that you’re fully aware of your benefits.

Your first thought may be to simply avoid dental visits altogether to save money. However, this can raise your risk of developing serious oral health issues that would ultimately require more costly forms of treatment. In the long run, it’s better to take a preventive approach to dental care. As such, our team is ready to help you make room in your budget for regular dental visits.

We gladly accept a wide range of dental insurance plans, and we’re in-network with popular providers like Humana, MetLife, and Delta Dental (Premier). Additionally, we give our patients the option of applying for CareCredit financing, allowing them to pay in manageable monthly installments instead of a single lump sum.
