What Is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?
Dental implants are considered the pinnacle of tooth replacement options, as they completely rebuild missing teeth from the roots up. However, it’s important to do your research before choosing a dentist to perform this procedure. Firstly, some dentists work with outside local specialists to perform the placement and restoration stages of the treatment. Other practices, such as ours, can complete the entire procedure in-house. You’ll want to decide which of these would be most convenient for you.
It's also important to select a professional who’s undergone advanced training in dental implants and is part of a prestigious organization for implant dentistry. Fortunately, Dr. Patel is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry while Dr. Wadsworth is a proud member of the International Team for Implantology Study Club!
How Much Does it Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?
On average, the fee for tooth extractions in markets throughout the United States is typically between $150 and $400. Of course, this will depend on a variety of factors, such as geography and the condition of a patient’s dental health. Your dentist will also need to consider the difficulty of your specific procedure and if you require further services, such as sedation dentistry, which can affect the overall cost. If you have an insurance plan, be sure to make the most out of it by consulting your provider about the details of your policy. Your company and your dentist can negotiate the fees of the procedure so that your out-of-pocket expenses are reduced.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
The first thing you need to do is to call our practice so that someone on our team can help you. We’ll be able to quickly review your situation and pencil you in so that you can get the treatment you need right away. However, if your situation is more serious, such as difficulty breathing/swallowing or your jaw is dislocated or broken, then calling 911 and/or a trip to the nearest ER will be necessary.

Once you’ve been treated, you can schedule a visit with our team.
We offer same-day appointments as well as sedation dentistry to make sure you’re comfortable while getting the treatment you need. Remember, most emergencies begin with underlying issues that are preventable, so make sure to visit your dentist regularly to lower your chances of experiencing one.
