Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry

Sometimes, patients are hesitant to ask about the cost. However, it’s an important part of the treatment process! So, if you are interested in learning more about the cost of emergency dentistry in Palm Coast, don’t hesitate to give us a call so a friendly member of our team can help you. You can also read on to learn more on the topic, including the factors that impact the final price.

Every Dental Emergency is Different – Here’s Why

Initially, you might assume that you can find an estimate of the cost online. The reason it’s difficult to get an accurate idea of the price is because there are so many factors that need to be considered, starting with the type of dental injury. The extent of the damage and the restorative care that’s needed will also play a role, which is why we consider all of this information before providing you with a number. From there, we can discuss the financial solutions available, including dental insurance.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Fortunately, many dental insurance providers do cover a portion of the cost – whether it’s the emergency exam or the restorative treatment needed. So, you should definitely read through the fine print on your plan if you haven’t already. Our team at Boulder Rock Dental can also help since we’re in-network with several PPO plans, including Aetna, MetLife, and Humana. When you provide us with your membership information, we’ll take a look at your coverage, provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses, and handle the paperwork.

Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable

Don’t have dental insurance? Then ask us about the other financial solutions we offer, including:

• Our in-house membership plans – You pay a low, annual fee to join, and you get immediate access to incredible benefits. Plus, there aren’t annual maximums or deductibles either!
• Flexible financing – With third-party financiers like CareCredit, you can space out the cost of your treatment into smaller monthly chunks that fit within your budget.

How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money

Remember, the longer you wait, the worse the root of the problem will get. So, if you are dealing with tender gums, pain when biting down, or any other warning signs of trouble, contact us right away to schedule an exam. That way, we can quickly pinpoint the root of the problem and determine the best way to address it.

Of course, taking good care of your teeth at home will also go a long way in protecting your smile from harm (and, in turn, reducing the chances of you needing emergency dental care). That’s why we strongly recommend committing to healthy habits, like brushing your teeth each morning and evening as well as coming to our office every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning.
