At Advanced Dental Care of Springfield, our team understands how difficult it can be to overcome dental phobia. Our patients’ comfort is always a top priority, and we help them receive the care they need – from preventive care to emergency dentistry – smoothly with the help of sedation dentistry. These calming techniques can reduce negative feelings and create a sense of genuine relaxation – in fact, most of our patients don’t even remember much about the treatment experience afterwards.
Giving back to the Springfield community and those less fortunate is very important to Dr. Neely, Dr. Driskill, and Dr. Schlee. After all, our team wants to create new smiles wherever we can! Our practice regularly donates to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and other worthwhile organizations nearby that can always use some extra support.
We strive to make every aspect of your ongoing dental care simple and stress-free, including when it comes time to pay. Our team are true experts at helping patients maximize their available benefits and determining their cost of dental care before treatment begins – you’ll never have to worry about unpleasant surprises. If you don’t currently have dental insurance, we can also introduce you to affordable financing options like CareCredit, Sunbit, and Prima HealthCredit.
At Advanced Dental Care of Springfield, we want our patients to be fully informed about their oral health. Should you have any questions or concerns about your care, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our team will happily address all your inquiries! Of course, we understand the value of personal research. That’s why we've compiled answers to some frequently asked questions we receive. After reviewing the information below, we hope to empower you to make informed decisions about your dental care.
If you experience a dental emergency (i.e., a lost tooth or damaged restoration), your first course of action should be to contact us. We prioritize same-day appointments to address your issue promptly.
However, if your dental emergency involves a life-threatening situation like impaired breathing or severe injury, it's advised to seek immediate help at the nearest emergency room. While they may not have specialized dental equipment, they can stabilize your condition until you can receive the necessary care from us.
Finding the right dentist requires you to consider various factors. First, you need to determine the type of practice you need. Whether it's cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, or gum disease treatment, look for a dentist with expertise in your required treatment area. Be sure to consider other aspects such as location, office hours, and insurance acceptance.
In addition to online research, you may want to schedule consultations with multiple practices. This allows you to meet potential dentists face-to-face, ask questions, and gauge if they're the right fit for your oral health needs and preferences.
The cost of a dental checkup and cleaning in Springfield can vary based on several factors, including the specific dental office, the complexity of the cleaning needed, and whether you have dental insurance coverage. On average, however, a routine checkup and cleaning typically ranges from $100 to $300 without insurance. It's recommended to contact our office directly to inquire about an accurate price estimate.
Focusing on preventive dental care is key to keeping your expenses low. Prevention is more cost-effective than treating oral health problems later. Investing in regular checkups and cleanings now can save you from expensive restorative treatments down the line. While dental insurance can help, we also offer third-party financing. These plans allow you to split up the total cost of your care into manageable monthly payments, ensuring you stay within your budget.
When it comes time for your appointment, you’ll head to our office, which is located at 4701 Wabash Avenue in Springfield. We’re not far from White Oaks Mall or AMC CLASSIC Springfield 12. Even closer to our practice you’ll find Springfield Gymnastics Center, Bella Milano Springfield, and Green Nissan. Whether you’re coming in for essential restorative care with the help of sedation dentistry, or something else completely, we look forward to seeing you soon!
