We have been taking care of smiles in Phoenix for more than three decades. During that time, we have heard a wide array of interesting questions about dentistry. We always enjoy having the opportunity to teach our patients more about dental care, so please let us know if there are any dental inquiries on your mind. If you check the FAQs below, you can see how we’ve responded to a number of questions that are particularly common among patients.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
Type “dentist near me” into Google, and chances are you’ll find no shortage of options. The idea of narrowing down the right practice for you can seem overwhelming at first, but in general, it helps to have a clear idea of the specific traits that you’re looking for. Do you want a practice that will accept your insurance plan? Are you looking for an office with convenient hours that is easy to get to? Is there a specific service that you definitely want your new dentist to offer? Figure out what’s important to you so that you can pick a practice that meets your needs.
What is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?
When it comes to dental implant surgery, it’s important to make sure that you’re leaving your smile in the hands of a true expert. You can check a dentist’s background to see if they have any specialized training regarding dental implant procedures. As an example, our own Dr. Santoro has been trained in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and he has earned a Fellowship in Implantology from the University of Miami School of Medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
How Much Does a Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Phoenix, AZ?
You should have at least two dental checkups and cleanings performed every year in order to maintain a healthy smile. The cost of each of these visits will be influenced by the geographic location of the practice you choose and the state of your oral health. And of course, there’s the question of dental insurance, as many plans will either mostly or fully cover the cost of checkups and cleanings. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the cost of your next visit.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
