What is the best way to find a dentist who does dental implants?
Dental implants are a costly investment, so finding someone skilled to complete the procedure successfully is essential. Most dental practices refer patients out for the surgical portion of treatment; however, at our dental practice, our team can complete the start-to-finish process under one roof.
While periodontists, oral surgeons, and prosthodontists are capable of performing this type of procedure, dentists with advanced training and hands-on experience are also capable of placing dental implants. This is why we are pleased to make it easier and more convenient for those with missing teeth to stay in one location for placement and restoration.
To determine if someone might be suitable for placing your dental implants, you can look at their bios to determine if they are members of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and/or fellows in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, both of which Dr. Cowan is.
What do you do if you can’t afford a dentist?
Many dental offices will welcome your dental insurance. While some may be in-network with various companies, others may agree to file claims and paperwork to help you get maximum reimbursement. If private dental insurance isn’t something you have, there are other ways to afford visiting the dentist, such as flexible financing.
At Newton Corner Dental Care, we offer patient financing through Wisetack, which makes it easy to pay for your treatment over time with no hidden fees and interest-free options. Another solution is to enroll in a plan with CareCredit. This low-to-no-interest financing makes it easy to break up the cost of treatment into smaller, manageable monthly installments.
How much does it cost to get a tooth pulled without insurance?
The average tooth extraction costs between $150 and $400 depending on the location of your dentist’s office, the type of tooth being extracted, the location of the tooth inside the mouth, and if tooth replacement will be required.
A consultation with your dentist will help to determine these factors; however, when it comes to cost, dental insurance is likely to help you save the most. If you have it, use it, as there is a chance you might save at least 50% on the total bill. Otherwise, make sure to apply for one of the available financing options your dentist offers to keep your out-of-pocket expenses low.
