Frequently Asked Questions
When searching for a new dentist, many patients understandably have a lot of questions. After all, it’s important to feel comfortable when choosing someone to help protect your smile. Here are a few common queries we get, and their answers. If you don’t see yours listed here, please feel free to contact our office and we’ll be glad to get you the information you need.
How do I get emergency dental care?
Your first step in obtaining emergency dental care should always be to call Snow Dental as soon as possible and let someone on our team assist you. If you’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.
Most hospital emergency rooms, mobile clinics, and urgent care centers aren’t properly equipped or staffed to handle dental emergencies, and thus if you go to one of these locations, you’re unlikely to be treated.
In most cases, you can get a same-day appointment with us, but please call as soon as possible and let us determine the best course of action.
Remember, a dental emergency is often the indication of larger dental issues, and an important sign that it’s time to get back into the habit of routine visits to your dentist. This will not only save you time and money, but your natural teeth too!
How do I find the best place to get dental work done?
When determining the best place to get dental work done, your first step should be to define what you’re looking for and what’s most important to you. Typically, this is some combination of the practice welcoming your dental insurance, flexible payment options, affordable fees, a convenient location, highly credentialed dentists, a safe and clean office, and convenient hours.
Additionally, it’s important to know what kind of dental care you need. Is it someone who works with children? A cosmetic dentist? Does major restorative work? There are certain dentists who are better choices for specific procedures.
Once you know what you want, you can then read patient reviews as well as the doctor and staff bios on their website. These are all great ways to find a dentist who meets your needs.
How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Allandale?
The cost of a dental check-up and cleaning can vary depending on location and other factors such as your individual oral health. A check-up and cleaning should always begin with a patient health history and discussion of your concerns. It should also include a thorough examination by your dentist, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.
The average cost for a dental check-up and cleaning in markets across the United States is $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, the fees for your check-up and cleaning (including any out-of-pocket co-pays) are negotiated with your dentist by your dental insurance company.
What level of education is required to be a dentist?
Here in the United States, all dentists must earn either a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) or a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from one of the nation’s 67 accredited dental schools.
Acceptance into dental school requires the student to first earn a bachelor's degree (along with very high grades) in a major that is heavy in math and science. Dental school is then an additional three years, with a combination of classroom and hands-on learning.
Following dental school, some dentists choose to continue their education by earning one of 12 specializations recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). These require an additional three or more years of dental school training.
After graduation, all dentists are required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to maintain their dental license.
