How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?
We offer same-day appointments for patients who have dental emergencies. The best way to schedule a same-day visit is to give us a call directly. This way, you can talk to a member of our staff and let them know what’s going on. They will schedule you in as soon as possible. The goal of same-day appointments is to assess the situation, eliminate the cause of any pain, and to finalize a plan for future treatment. Sometimes, more advanced treatment can be completed the same day.
How much does it cost to get a tooth pulled without insurance?
The cost of a tooth extraction can vary on multiple factors. The average fee for this service is between $150 and $400. If you have dental insurance, the cost of this procedure may receive partial coverage by your benefits. If you have any concerns about the cost of your treatment, don’t hesitate to talk to one of our friendly team members. We can discuss your payment options so that you don’t run into any surprises.
How can I find a female dentist?
Did you know that approximately 1/3 of dentists currently working in the United States are women? On top of that, more than 50% of current dental school students in the country are women. A great way to start is by searching “female dentist near Buda.” To learn more about the dentist you are considering, check out the “Meet the Dentists” section of their website to read their biographical information.
