How do I find the best place to get dental work done?
Finding the best place to get dental work done starts with pinpointing what’s most important to you as a patient. Are you looking for a dental practice that completes the entire dental implant process under one roof? Do you want to find an office that welcomes your dental insurance? Is it important for you to find someone close to your home, your work, or your child’s school? Once you have the answers to questions like these, you can ask people you trust for their recommendations or search “dentist near me” into Google.
How do I get emergency dental care?
When you sustain a dental injury – whether it’s a chip or a completely knocked-out tooth – you need help fast. The good news is that our talented team at Jacksonville Dental Specialists is just a phone call away. Plus, we’re open five days a week and offer morning, lunchtime, and afternoon hours, so we’ll likely be able to schedule an emergency exam the same day you call.
Important note: If you are bleeding uncontrollably, you’re having trouble breathing, or you’re experiencing any other potentially life-threatening symptoms, then you should go to the ER or call 911.
How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Jacksonville?
In the U.S., the average cost of a dental checkup and teeth cleaning is between $200 and $350. That said, there are numerous factors that will impact if that’s the price you’ll pay. For example, do you have dental insurance? If so, then your provider may cover the cost completely, resulting in you not having to pay anything out-of-pocket. In short, if you are interested in getting an estimate of the cost of your preventive care, the best thing to do is get in touch with us so we can provide you with an estimate.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Sadly, many patients don’t pursue the dental care they need because they are worried that it will be too expensive. The more time that passes, however, the worse the root of the problem will get, which is why we strongly recommend coming to our office every six months for preventive care and scheduling an appointment sooner than that if you start to experience abnormal symptoms (i.e., persistent sensitivity, a pimple-like bump on your gums, pain when biting down). Once we know a bit more about your dental needs, we can discuss your treatment options, create a custom treatment plan, and review the financial solutions available. That way, you can get the care you need without breaking the bank.
