How do I get emergency dental care?

When a dental emergency strikes, you don’t have a lot of time – you need help fast. That’s why we recommend calling us ASAP. Over the phone, one of our knowledgeable team members can help you determine the next best steps depending on your specific situation. For some patients, that may be coming into our office right away for treatment. For others, that may be providing instructions on how to protect your smile from further harm until your appointment the following morning. It depends on your dental injury and how severe it is!

Note: There are some cases where heading to the ER is the best option, like if you’ve fractured your jaw or you’re experiencing a potentially life-threatening symptom (i.e., difficulty swallowing, trouble breathing, uncontrollable bleeding).

How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Lewisville?

Since dental insurance providers typically cover the entire cost of biannual checkups and cleanings, it’s rare for patients to have any out-of-pocket expenses. Of course, if you aren’t currently insured and are interested in getting a general idea of the price, the average cost in the U.S. is between $200 and $350. Luckily, we offer several other financial solutions outside of dental insurance, including periodic special offers and flexible financing. So, if you’re concerned about the cost, don’t hesitate to talk to our team about all the ways you can make your treatment more affordable.

How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?

Almost always, same-day appointments are reserved for patients who’ve sustained a serious dental injury. So, if you’ve knocked out a tooth, have damaged a restoration, or are struggling with a severe toothache, don’t hesitate to call us so we can conduct an exam right away. Of course, there are also some exceptions where we have a last-minute cancellation and can schedule a more routine treatment, like a dental cleaning. So, it’s always worth giving us a call!

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are often viewed as the gold standard for tooth replacement, but are they the right choice for you? It depends on a number of factors. Generally speaking, you need to be healthy enough for a minor surgery to be performed. If you have gum disease, it will need to be treated before you can receive implant posts.

We can discuss your potential candidacy for dental implants when you visit our office for our consultation. After carefully considering your situation, we will give you our recommendation.

What is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?

If you’re planning on getting dental implants, it is important to be aware that the process may be handled differently depending on which practice you visit. Some dental offices take a team-based approach, meaning they will refer you to a local specialist to have the dental implants placed. However, some practices are able to perform the entire dental implant procedure from start to finish.

Dr. Jayswal has completed advanced courses in implant dentistry, and she is able to both place and restore dental implants. As such, if you choose our office for dental implants, you can enjoy the convenience of having the entire process performed in one location by a team that you’re familiar with.

What Advanced Technology is Used to Place Dental Implants?

Careful planning is the key to successful dental implant placement, and that requires a comprehensive picture of your oral health. As such, the dental implant process typically involves the use of a CBCT scanner.

CBCT stands for “cone-beam computed tomography.” The technology is used to combine multiple images of your mouth captured at various angles into a three-dimensional model. Said model shows us the location of your facial nerves as well as other important details. The information captured by a CBCT scanner is invaluable for ensuring that the dental implant posts are placed precisely where they need to go.

What is a Digital Dental Impression?

A dental impression is an imprint of your teeth that is used to design restorations for your specific mouth. Traditional impressions are made by having the patient bite down on some putty. However, in the interest of enhancing the care we provide, our practice is proud to offer digital impressions instead.

With our iTero scanner, we can create a detailed virtual image of your teeth and gums. Compared to traditional impressions, digital impressions take significantly less time. They are also more comfortable and don’t require you to hold any unpleasant-tasting putty in your mouth. On top of that, digital impressions are less prone to error than traditional ones, thus reducing the chance that we’ll need to perform a retake.
