Dentist – Danville, CA

How do I get emergency dental care?

While some dental injuries, like a small cut on your tongue, can be handled at home, others require an immediate visit to our Danville dental office or even the ER. The best way to tell how you should proceed is by assessing your symptoms. If your face is extremely swollen, you’re bleeding severely, you’re having trouble breathing, or you’re experiencing any other potentially life-threatening symptoms, then you should call 911 or head to the ER. If, on the other hand, you have a more “straightforward” dental injury, like a loose restoration or knocked out tooth, then you should call us ASAP, explain what happened, and get an appointment with Dr. Lei or Dr. Santiago on the calendar.

How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Danville?

In the U.S., the price of a dental checkup and teeth cleaning is usually between $200 and $350. Of course, that’s not necessarily the price you will pay. For example, if you have dental insurance, your provider may cover 100% of the cost. The price will also depend on your specific dental needs, including if new X-rays need to be taken. The good news is that you can always reach out to us with any questions you have about the cost; we never want you to feel left in the dark when it comes to the financial side of your care.

What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?

Whether you’re overdue for your six-month checkup or you’re struggling with a serious toothache and need restorative care, you might feel concerned about the cost. If you are, then we recommend reaching out to our friendly dental team – we’re here to help! After learning more about your specific situation, we can review all of the financial solutions available, including dental insurance and flexible financing. Remember, we aren’t here to judge; we’re here to assist you on your journey to your healthiest, happiest smile.

How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?

Usually, same-day appointments are reserved for emergency patients, including those who have knocked out a tooth or damaged a restoration. With that said, there is always the possibility that we have a last-minute opening due to a cancellation. So, don’t hesitate to give us a call to see if one of our dentists is available for a same-day visit.

Note: Not all dental treatments can be completed the very same day, including dental implants and veneers. At the very least, we can conduct an exam, create your treatment plan, and schedule the necessary follow-up appointments.
