  • Call Our Office: The first step is to call our office as soon as the incident occurs. No matter the type of injury, we’ll provide first-aid instructions to minimize any pain and prevent further damage while you wait for your appointment.
  • Receive an Examination: After arriving at our office, we will escort you to a treatment room and begin taking digital images of your mouth. This will give us a clearer view of what is happening inside your mouth and how best to treat the problem. We’ll then alleviate any pain you may be experiencing as well as develop a plan that includes the service(s) we’ll use to repair your smile.
  • Undergo Timely Treatment: Depending on the severity of the injury, we will either treat it the same day or have you return for more extensive care.

Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry

Like many other patients, you might be curious about the price. Although we can’t provide you with an estimate here, we can share some helpful information on the topic, including whether or not dental insurance providers usually cover a portion of it. So, don’t hesitate to read on if you are interested in learning more!

Why Every Dental Emergency is Different

There are several factors that determine the cost of emergency dentistry in Justin, including the type of dental injury and how severe it is. That’s why we can’t provide you with a cost estimate (or even a general price range) until we have a chance to complete a comprehensive oral exam. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’ll leave you in the dark. Quite the opposite: once we have an in-depth understanding of your dental needs, we can share the price as well as the different financial solutions that are available.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Many dental plans have a 100-80-50 coverage structure. If that’s the case for you, then there’s a good chance that your provider will cover between 50% and 80% of essential restorative care. There are often rules and restrictions that need to be considered as well, including waiting periods and annual maximums. The good news is that our team at ForestLeaf Dental of Justin is proud to accept most major insurance providers. So, we can help you understand and maximize your benefits to the fullest.

Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable

How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money

Fortunately, many common dental injuries are largely preventable. To protect your teeth and gums from harm, we recommend committing to a solid oral hygiene regimen, eating mostly healthy, well-balanced meals, and wearing a mouthguard while playing sports (including non-contact ones). You should also schedule a dental visit every six months. That way, we can periodically check for tooth decay, gum disease, and other common oral health problems.
