Whether you want to prevent damage to your smile, need some restorative work done on your teeth, or are interested in cosmetic treatments, it is understandable if you have some questions about what to expect when you join our practice as a patient. You are more than welcome to call us so we can personally assist you. In the meantime, we invite you to check out the following brief list of FAQs about finding a reliable “dentist near me.”
The first thing you should do is call our office and let us know what is happening. We will schedule you for an appointment as soon as possible, and we’ll give you at-home care instructions to protect your damaged tooth in the meantime.
During dental emergencies, it’s always best to visit a dental practice rather than the local ER because hospital employees usually do not have the training or equipment to address oral health problems. However, if you are bleeding uncontrollably or dealing with other severe or life-threatening problems, you should certainly call 911. Later, you can visit Dr. Walker for follow-up care.
Really, the “best place” to get dental work done depends on what you deem to be most important. Most patients are looking for a compassionate and skilled general dentist who works in a clean office and who accepts insurance. It’s also important to know what kind of services are offered. While most general dentists offer approximately the same menu of services, some offer treatments that aren’t available elsewhere in the immediate area. For example, not all dentists offer TMJ therapy. You can discover a lot about a practice through research on the internet, but personally calling or visiting is the best way to truly get a feel for whether it would be a good fit for you.
Each dentist in Kernersville gets to determine their own pricing structure. The nationwide average for the cost of a routine cleaning and checkup is $200 – $300. That fee usually includes an X-Ray and oral cancer screening as well. If you have dental insurance, you might not have to pay anything out of pocket for your preventive care. When you schedule your appointment with us, we will be happy to help you understand our fees.
Nationwide, there is roughly one dentist for every 2,000 people. Here in the Kernersville area, there are approximately 100 dentists. You are truly spoiled for choice! Dr. Walker and our team want you to find the dentist that is right for you, so we encourage you to do your research and compare different practices. However, we are confident that we stand out in the crowd for the personal attention we give to our patients and the top-level services we provide.
