If you ever encounter an urgent dental situation, you\u2019ll be able to whip out their phone number and call them right away \u2013 no scrolling or panicking needed. But how do you find one that you can trust?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While selecting an emergency dentist who\u2019s right for you is ultimately a personal process, taking these five things into consideration could significantly enhance your dental emergency experience. Keep reading to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. CEREC Crown Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CEREC stands for \u201cChairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics\u201d. Basically, CEREC machines allow dentists to prepare and fabricate dental crowns much, <em>much <\/em>faster than traditional methods. If you need this dental restoration after your emergency, you could have it permanently place in just one day. It\u2019s an excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/advanced-dental-technology.html\">technological amenity<\/a> for those with busy schedules or who want to protect their tooth quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. All-Digital X-Rays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever needed an X-ray, you probably remember having to put on a heavy lead vest, waddling behind a radiation shield, and standing there awkwardly as the doctor or dentist operates the machine from a safe distance. All-digital X-rays don\u2019t emit nearly as much radiation or harmful chemicals as their traditional counterparts. Patients find these modern machines much less intimidating, and usually don\u2019t even have to wear a heavy vest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Intraoral Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever wanted to see exactly what your dentist is seeing? That would certainly be reassuring. Intraoral cameras have a camera on the end capable of taking quality photos while your dentist examines your pearly whites. In other words, you could absolutely see what they\u2019re seeing! Plus, they\u2019re minimally invasive, providing maximum comfort during the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Flexible Financing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you want to do is worry about your oral health and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/for-patients.html#insurance\">financial<\/a> health. It\u2019s always a good idea to check whether your emergency dentist is in-network with your dental insurance, but something else you can do is look for flexible financing options like CareCredit. These programs allow you to make smaller monthly payments instead of one immediate sum, making your treatment total much more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. Emphasis on Dental Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a dental emergency, there\u2019s a decent chance you\u2019ll need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">dental restoration<\/a>, such as a crown, filling, or tooth replacement. You\u2019ll feel more confident in your treatment when you know your emergency dentist is skilled with these types of services! Scrolling through their bio can give you a good sense of what their specializations are and what kind of advanced training they\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing an emergency dentist you can trust is almost as nerve-wracking as the dental emergency itself. Keeping these five things in mind while you browse can help, but at the end of the day, the best thing you can do is call them and tour the office. If you feel comfortable and safe with the staff and environment, you\u2019ve likely found a keeper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/meet-dr-brad-weiss.html\">Brad Weiss<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/meet-dr-ali-fulreader.html\">Ali Fulreader<\/a> are compassionate and experienced dentists who make it a point to keep up with the latest dental technology and techniques.
