If you wish to learn more about your oral health or our dental services, you can always give our office a call for the quickest response. However, it’s normal that some people might research first or may have busier schedules. To make it easier for you, our team has gathered some of the most commonly asked questions from our patients and beyond, as well as their answers!
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
You’ll first want to call our practice so that someone on the team can schedule you in for the earliest time. This will also give us a chance to prepare for your arrival so that the process is as smooth as possible. Keep in mind, however, that if your situation is more dire, such as trouble breathing or excessive bleeding, you should call 911 and/or go straight to the ER. While they might not have a dentist on staff or be able to treat dental issues, they can keep you pain-free and safe until you can come to us for treatment. At Langworthy Family Dentistry, we can provide same-day appointments for your earliest convenience. Also, remember that emergencies often stem from dental problems that can be prevented, so be sure to practice good oral hygiene every day and visit your dentist every six months to keep your smile safe.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
The first thing to consider is to define what you find most important to you, which can be a combination of several things, including insurance, payment and fees, location, hours, credentials, cleanliness, and safety. You should also establish which kind(s) of dental treatment you’re looking for. Do you want to replace missing teeth with dentures or dental implants? Interested in brightening your smile with teeth whitening or veneers? Need to schedule your next dental checkup and cleaning? Lastly, try to get a feel for your dental team and become familiar with the way they do things. At Langworthy Family Dentistry, we strive to provide completely personalized care, meaning every patient will have their dentistry tailored to their unique needs.

How Much Does it Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?
The price of a tooth extraction can typically vary based on different factors, including geography and a person’s dental health. On average, however, the cost of this procedure can range from $150 to $400 in most markets across the United States. Additionally, you’ll want to factor in other related services, such as sedation dentistry, in case they’re necessary during your treatment. Those with dental insurance might have the price of their procedure negotiated between their dentist and insurer, allowing them to save more in the long run.
