Urgent Care Right When Your Smile Needs It

Oral care is incredibly important, not only for your health but your self-image as well. A bright, white smile shows that you are confident, youthful, and healthy. Unfortunately, life likes to throw us a curve ball every now and again, and accidents can happen. You may fall down and knock out your front teeth. You might try eating some hard candy and crack or chip one of your molars. When it comes to dental emergencies, Dr. Jorgenson and his extensively trained team of experts at Advanced Dental Care are always ready and prepared to help and correct any oral injuries, problems, or illnesses that might afflict you throughout your day-to-day routine.

Every Dental Emergency Is Different

Dental emergencies can vary greatly in their severity and in the type of treatment they require. It is impossible for us to provide price estimates without first being able to assess a situation. Some emergencies can be treated simply and inexpensively, with something like a filling or prescription mouthwash. Other problems, however, are much more complex and require root canal therapy, a crown, or another advanced procedure. Before we begin any treatment, we will let you know about the cost and your payment options. If more than one treatment might be suitable for you, we will help you compare the pros, cons, and price of each option.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Dental insurance policies are all unique, so you will need to check the details of your plan to know for sure how it applies. In general, though, many policies cover at least one emergency exam each year. They may also pay for 50 – 80% of the cost of care, depending on the specifics of your recommended treatment plan. Our experienced and friendly team will be happy to help you navigate your benefits and file insurance claims.

Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable

As your emergency dentist in Costa Mesa, we want you to be able to afford your care. In addition to helping with insurance, we offer other provisions that may help you manage the cost of your urgent dental care:

  • Financing. We work with a number of third-party lenders who offer low-interest financing for dental care. Most patients easily qualify for credit, and you may be able to choose from a variety of payment plans according to what works best for your budget.
  • In-house discount plan. For patients without insurance, our in-house Be Smile Smart discount plans offer reduced rates on virtually all treatments. Unlike insurance, our plans have no waiting period, no deductible, and no annual maximum.

Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money

Some dental emergencies occur as a result of an unavoidable accident. Most, though, are preventable. You can save money by regularly taking steps to protect your smile. For example, attending a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year removes plaque and tartar from your teeth and allows us to spot most problems before they become severe and require complex treatment. Plus, insurance usually covers 100% of the cost of these appointments. If you ever suspect that something is wrong with your dental health, do not ignore the problem. The sooner you seek treatment, the more likely it is that we can address the issue with a relatively simple and conservative treatment, rather than an advanced (and pricier) procedure.
