Frequently Asked Questions
Are you wondering when your next appointment should be? When is the right time to call for emergency dental care? We know that you probably have a lot of questions when it comes to the care we provide, and we encourage you to call our Satellite Beach dental office right away if there’s anything you want to know. Below are just a few of the questions that we’re often asked; if the information you need isn’t here, contact us right away for assistance.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
Dental emergencies can strike out of the blue, so you should already have a plan to get care when you need it most. Life-threatening emergencies like a fractured jawbone or any issue that makes it difficult to breathe should be handled by an emergency room; call 911 right away. Other issues such as chronic dental pain or damaged/lost teeth usually require an emergency dentist’s help, as the staff at the ER will not have had the dental training required for these problems. If you call our dental office, one of our team members will give you first-aid instructions and set up a same-day appointment whenever possible.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
When you type the phrase “dentist near me” into Google, it can be hard to parse through all the results to figure out which dentist is right for you. A good rule of thumb is to first figure out what is important to you. Are you looking for a dentist who takes your dental insurance? Do you need to have a very specific kind of dental work done? Are you looking for an experienced dentist with a good reputation in the area? Dr. Merrill Grant has over three decades of dental experience, offers a variety of dental services in-house, and is happy to accept a diverse range of dental insurance plans. If you’d like additional opinions, you can check out some of the testimonials that past patients have left us.
How Much Does a Dental Checkup and Cleaning Cost in Satellite Beach?
The average cost of a regular dental appointment in the United States is between $200 and $350 without dental insurance, but of course this price can easily vary based on location and other factors. Also, if you do have a dental insurance plan, there’s a good chance that it will cover the entire cost of preventive care, and if you don’t have insurance at all, then you can ask about financing options such as CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?
Painful toothaches and broken teeth require immediate care, and we’re here to make sure that you get it. Call our dental office, so we can get a firm understanding of the situation and help you figure out the best next steps. If we determine that you need to be seen right away, we will set up a same-day appointment with Dr. Merrill Grant.
