Texarkana Family Dentist

Our dental team can offer same-day appointments for patients who are experiencing urgent dental issues that require immediate attention. Examples may include a tooth that has been knocked out of the mouth or various kinds of tooth pain. If you think you’re experiencing a dental emergency, give our dental office a call and explain your symptoms. Not only will we schedule an appointment for you, but we will also give you advice for managing your discomfort and protecting your mouth from further harm.

If your life is in danger, you should call 911. Oral health issues that might put your life at risk include a fractured or dislocated jaw, swelling that interferes with breathing or swallowing, and bleeding in the mouth that doesn’t stop even after pressure has been applied.

If you type “dentist near me” into Google, you’re likely to get plenty of results. How can you narrow down your search in order to find the dentist who is truly right for you? Oftentimes, it can help to clearly define the traits that you want your new dentist to have and then search for practices that meet the specified criteria. Many patients want a dentist who:

• Is willing to accept their dental insurance plan.
• Is in a location that is easy to get to.
• Offers a wide range of services.

Once you find a dental practice that seems to offer what you’re looking for, you can do further research on them to see if they’re truly a good fit for you. It always helps to get the perspective of someone else who has visited the practice, so check Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades for any reviews that past patients may have left.

Not all dentists will charge the exact same amount for a routine checkup and cleaning. The location of the practice will often end up significantly influencing the cost, and the health of your smile can be a factor as well. There’s also the question of your dental insurance and what type of coverage is available for preventive dentistry. For the record, the average cost of a dental checkup and cleaning in the United States is between $200 and $350.

We try to do what we can to make paying for your dental care easier. We gladly file on behalf of all dental PPO providers, and we’re in-network with Arkansas BlueCross BlueShield, Texas BlueCross BlueShield, Connection Dental, and Cigna. On top of that, we accept CareCredit financing, which can be a good option for people who would prefer to break up the cost of their care into smaller monthly installments instead of needing to pay everything all at once.
