Dentist In Queens, NY

If you have a life-threatening emergency such as a fractured jaw or oral swelling that’s making it hard to breathe, you should call 911. Otherwise, your best option for dental emergencies like knocked-out or broken teeth is to call our office immediately. Most emergency rooms aren’t properly equipped to handle dental issues; you’re more likely to get the care you need if you call a trustworthy dentist.

Our practice offers same-day emergency appointments so that you aren’t left waiting for relief. When you call, someone on our staff can give you first-aid tips for managing your pain and limiting the damage until you can get to our office.

To pick the dental office that’s right for you and your family, think carefully about what matters the most to you. Are you looking for an office that accepts your insurance? Do you need a dentist who will see children as well as adults? Do you want a practice that offers a wide range of services?

Once you have an idea of what you’re looking for, you can check the practice’s website and see what they have to offer. At Breezy Point Smiles, we’re proud to accept various insurance plans, and we see patients of all ages. We also have a comprehensive menu of general, restorative, and cosmetic services to meet the needs of all of our patients.

The amount that you pay for preventive dental care is going to vary based on where you live and what practice you choose. On average, the cost of a standard checkup and cleaning is usually between $200 and $350. This is, of course, before factoring in dental insurance or any in-house savings options that the practice might have. If you’d like more information about how you can lower the out-of-pocket cost of dental care, give us a call!

Remember that dentistry is based around prevention; it’s always more cost-effective to have small problems taken care of right away rather than wait for them to turn into complex emergencies. Luckily, there are a few tools that can help you fit dental care into your budget.

Dental insurance usually mostly or completely covers the cost of two preventive dental visits a year. You can also try applying for third-party financing through CareCredit; this lets you pay for dental care in monthly installments at little to no interest.
