How much does an emergency dentist cost?

At Dent Care Now, the emergency exam (including X-rays) is $250. Treatment costs depend on what's needed. An extraction starts at $250, a root canal ranges from $2,800 to $3,200, a same-day crown is $1,658. You'll get a written estimate before any treatment begins, and the full price list is posted at our front desk for you to see.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We're out-of-network with most plans, which means we don't have a direct contract with your insurance company, but most PPO plans still cover out-of-network emergency care at 50% to 80%. We submit your claim for you and follow up until you're reimbursed. The simplest way to find out exactly what your plan covers is to call us with your insurance card handy and we'll help you sort it out.

What if I can't afford the treatment all at once?

We work with six different financing companies (Cherry, Sunbit, CareCredit, Affirm, Alphaeon, and Proceed) and you can apply for any of them in a few minutes from your phone. Most patients get approved and can split treatment costs into monthly payments. We'll help you figure out which option fits your situation when you come in.

Is there a payment plan I can sign up for at the practice itself?

We don't run our own in-house payment plans, but the third-party financing options above (Cherry, Sunbit, CareCredit, Affirm, Alphaeon, Proceed) function the same way. You apply, you get approved, you pay monthly. We're happy to walk you through the differences between them so you can pick the one that works best for you

Will I get a price quote before any treatment?

Yes. After your emergency exam and X-rays, we sit down with you and walk through what we found, what we recommend, and what each option costs. You decide what you want to do. Nothing happens without your explicit go-ahead and nothing gets added to your bill that you didn't agree to ahead of time.

Do you offer a discount if I pay in cash?

We don't run a separate cash discount — and that's on purpose. Our prices are the same for everyone, posted up front, whether you're paying cash, using insurance, or financing. We're an emergency office, but we don't charge emergency markups. Before any treatment starts, you'll see the exact cost in writing, so there are no surprise bills. And if you'd rather spread payments out, we work with Cherry, CareCredit, Alphaeon, Affirm, and Sunbit. If you're looking for ongoing savings, ask about our Elite Protection Plan when you come in.

Emergency Dentist Pricing $250

We're out-of-network with most insurance plans. We chose to stay out-of-network because it lets us run the practice the way we want to: with full pricing transparency, no production goals, and the freedom to actually focus on patient care instead of insurance company protocols. It also turns out to be fine for most patients. Here's how it works.

Most PPO plans still reimburse for out-of-network emergency care, often at 50% to 80% of the cost. We submit your insurance claim on your behalf, follow up with your insurance company, and fight for your reimbursement. You pay us at the time of service and your insurance reimburses you directly. We work with most major PPO plans that include out-of-network benefits, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, and BCBS.
