A sudden dental emergency can be scary and overwhelming. You may be in a lot of pain and not know where to go to get the immediate attention you need. In some cases, you may be worried about the cost of emergency dental care because you do not have dental insurance. Fortunately, the emergency dentists at Absolute Dental can help you with affordable and accessible emergency services throughout Nevada.
Here’s everything you need to know about getting quality care for you and your family for dental emergencies.
What Is A Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional. It could result from an accident, an ongoing dental condition, or an unexpected issue with existing dental work. Examples of common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache
- Broken or chipped tooth
- Knocked out tooth
- Loose or missing cavity fillings
- Broken or missing dental crowns
- Damaged braces
Our skilled emergency dentists will quickly assess the injury and take immediate action to reduce pain and repair the damage.
When Should I See A Dentist For A Dental Emergency?
When a dental emergency happens, you need to take action right away. Waiting to see a dentist could result in more extensive damage, an increased risk of infection, and worsening pain. While you might think it could improve on its own or the injury is not that bad, getting a professional opinion is always best. Also, in the case of a loose or knocked-out tooth, time is of the essence. A dentist may be able to restore the tooth if you seek immediate treatment.
Call Absolute Dental as soon as possible to find the nearest location to treat your issue. Dental emergencies always take priority, and we’ll do everything we can to minimize the damage. We can help with everything from broken porcelain crowns to fractured teeth.
What Are Payment Options For Dental Emergencies?
If you’re looking for a 24-hour emergency dentist, the last thing you should be worrying about is the cost. You need immediate care that can repair the damage and get your dental health back on track. Here are available payment options to consider to help you have peace of mind about finding the right care for your dental emergency.
Financing Options
Absolute Dental offers flexible payment options to help make emergency dental services more affordable for your family. We know you have several financial obligations, and making a payment in full is not always possible. Applying for the Care Credit healthcare credit card makes monthly payments more manageable. You may also qualify for deferred interest, which offers even more savings!
Dental Care Membership Programs
Discount membership programs are another option that can help with emergency dental costs. The Smile Saver program offered at Absolute Dental is an excellent way to save money on essential dental services, including exams and teeth cleanings. However, it can also provide discounts on services that will help with dental emergencies, including:
- X-rays
- Dental fillings
- Dental crowns
- Tooth extractions
- Root canals
The Smile Saver program offers 30-50% discounts on the cost of procedures, which can be a substantial saving for dental patients. You simply pay a low yearly membership fee and start using the discounts right away. There is no waiting period, age restrictions, deductibles, or claim form submissions.
Special Offers
Specials and discounts on dental services are also available for emergency dental patients. The special offers at Absolute Dental can apply to some services you may need after experiencing a dental emergency. For example, we periodically offer limited-time offers on dental implants, which can permanently replace a tooth that was knocked out.
Contact our team to learn more about our special offers and exclusive discounts offered at our offices in Las Vegas, Reno, and other cities throughout Nevada.
Medicare And Medicaid Dental Coverage
If you have Medicare or Medicaid, it may provide some coverage for urgent dental care or complex procedures. If the dental services are closely related to medical services or you need to stay in a hospital after a dental emergency, you may qualify for some coverage. Contact our team to learn more about your dental coverage and what emergency procedures may be partially covered.
