Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find the best place to get dental work done?
If it’s been a while since your last dental appointment and you’re seeking a new provider, you might feel uncertain how or where to get started finding one. Oftentimes, performing a basic search on your favorite web browser can produce a local list of results, but then you may have do to a little more research to narrow them down.
It might help to take a few minutes to identify your top priorities regarding oral healthcare. For example, are you seeking a provider who is in-network with your dental insurance plan? Do you also have a family requiring dental care? Are there specific treatments you anticipate wanting or needing that must be offered? Answering these types of questions for yourself can make it easier to find a provider who checks off all the right boxes.
How much does a routine checkup and cleaning cost near Tukwila, WA?
Most patients near Tukwila can expect to spend anywhere from $100 to $400 for a basic checkup and cleaning, but the total cost can vary significantly depending on your unique circumstances.
For instance, if you carry dental insurance, up to 100% of routine preventive visits might be covered, meaning there are no additional out-of-pocket expenses to worry about. However, if our team finds issues such as cavities or gum disease, you’ll also be responsible for the cost of any required procedures, which can increase the total due for your appointment.
What if I’m too anxious to visit the dentist?
You’re not alone if you feel nervous about sitting in the dentist’s chair. Plenty of people avoid everything from basic exams and cleanings to more complex procedures because they feel anxious or afraid.
Fortunately, Dr. Thomas understands this and will do everything possible to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your visit. For example, he might recommend one of two types of dental sedation offered at our office near Tukwila.
Our team is happy to provide nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, which is inhaled through a mask placed over your nose while we work. We can also prescribe oral conscious sedation in pill form that can also be used to help you feel more relaxed during your procedure. These options aren’t intended to ‘knock you out’, but you might not clearly remember the details of your treatment afterward.
Are there ways to make dental care more affordable?
Our practice is in-network with many major dental insurance plans, but we also understand that not all patients have purchased one. At the same time, we don’t want your current financial circumstances to prevent you from undergoing the necessary or desired services to help protect, repair, rebuild, or enhance your smile.
If you’re worried about affording treatments, you might benefit from our in-house membership plan. For a flat monthly fee, you receive routine exams, X-rays, and cleanings, as well as discounts on other in-office procedures.
