The Most Common Dental Emergencies
A knocked-out tooth, lost dental crown, or broken dentures might seem like the most common dental emergencies, but there are others Dr. Rosen treats regularly. Instead of going to your ER for any of the following situations listed below, consider how your emergency dentist in Chicago can help.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry
The last thing you need to worry about while you’re in pain is the cost of emergency dentistry in Chicago. Unfortunately, it’s often the first thing that comes to mind when the dentist starts discussing treatment. At Rosen Dental, we never want you to “deal with” the pain just because you think you can’t afford proper care. Instead, we will discuss the payment options we offer and find a solution that fits your budget.
Every Dental Emergency is Different
One thing to remember is that no two dental emergencies are the same. Just because your friend paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to have a cracked tooth repaired doesn’t mean that you will be required to pay the same amount.
Our dentist will examine your mouth and evaluate the affected area before determining the appropriate treatment. Based on the restorative service required, we will discuss ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs so you can confidently move forward with our proposed plan.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
If you plan to use your dental insurance to help cover a portion of the cost of your dental emergency, know that the initial visit is unlikely to be a significant investment. Most companies offer one emergency exam each year as part of your covered benefits. Your bill will mainly be comprised of the restorative service(s) you need to improve your smile.
Fortunately, you will see that these services (dental fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, dental bridges, etc.) are partially covered by your insurance plan. As a result, you can expect to pay less when requiring minor or major restorative care. We will file the necessary paperwork so that you receive the maximum reimbursement after treatment is complete.
Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable
Whether dental insurance isn’t an option, or you need help paying out-of-pocket costs associated with treatment, we offer two additional solutions:
- Flexible Financing: You can enroll in Cherry or CareCredit payment plans, most of which come with little or no interest attached. You will pay off your bill over time instead of all at once.
- In-House Membership Plan: You can enroll in our in-house membership plan that requires one low, flat annual fee in exchange for access to preventive services and discounts on all other available treatment options provided in our office.
Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money
The most effective way to save money and avoid the emergency dentist’s office is to take proper care of your oral health. Staying on top of your dental hygiene routine and keeping up with your biannual checkups and cleanings will increase your chances of maintaining a healthy, damage-free smile throughout the year. However, if a problem does occur, don’t wait to contact our office. Our team is here to make sure you do not suffer, so regardless of the issue, let us know about your situation so that we can prepare a plan to help you smile comfortably again.
