Affordable Emergency Dentist in Kendall

Children, teens, and adults should all see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.

Nobody likes unexpected costs sprung on them, especially when it comes to medical and dental treatment. We provide our patients with a detailed quote/estimate for all dental treatment services. We find this is especially important for more in-depth services requiring multiple appointments, such as a root canal, crowns, or veneers.

If you currently don’t have dental insurance, we encourage you to still call our office to learn about your options. Our goal is to make your dental care as affordable and accessible as we can, so please don’t hesitate to ask for help.

We gladly accept CareCredit, which is a popular way both our uninsured and insured patients cover their dental treatment costs.

When our dentists examine your teeth, they look at the tooth surfaces, gums and oral soft tissues carefully to check for early warning signs of disease.

Dental x-rays are necessary to look at areas that the dentist cannot see by visual exam alone, such as between the teeth and below the gum line.

Like other types of x-rays, dental x-rays are different views (i.e., bitewing, periapical, panoramic). The dentist will prescribe the view(s) needed to look for specific concerns, such as cavities between the teeth, tooth root abscesses, jaw bone loss or infection, tumors or cysts. Generally, x-rays are taken about once per year for preventive care, or as needed to evaluate a problem. Some patients require x-rays less frequently or more often depending on their history of past dental issues.

Our practice uses digital dental x-rays, with low radiation exposure. Compared to traditional dental film of the past, the exposure is significantly reduced.

Because your x-rays are digital, your dentist can zoom in on areas to talk with you about your oral health, and we are able to electronically send digital x-rays to the dental insurance company or dental specialists that are involved in your care.

Professional teeth whitening products used under the supervision of a trained dental personal do not harm teeth or gums. Mild sensitivity does occur after the whitening process, this can be easily treated with desensitizing gels.

Teeth can be aligned and straightened with the help of various treatment options such as orthodontics, porcelain veneers and crowns. Traditional orthodontics using braces or Invisalign can be done at any age to align teeth. If orthodontic treatment is not an option, then beautifully aligned teeth can be achieved through porcelain veneers and crowns which can also alter the shape of the teeth. Sometimes one may require a combination of the two treatment modalities to achieve the desired results.
