The questions Denison patients ask most, answered plainly. If yours is not here, send it through the request form and a local office will answer it.
How do I get a same-day dental appointment in Denison?
Use the request form on this site or call the number at the top of the page. Tell us what hurts and when it started. Most emergency requests sent before mid-afternoon are seen the same day in Denison or nearby Sherman.
How much does a dental visit cost in Denison, TX without insurance?
A routine exam, cleaning and x-rays runs about $120 to $250. An emergency exam with x-ray is usually $150 to $400 depending on what is needed to stop the pain. Most Denison offices offer an in-house membership plan or financing for larger work.
Do Denison dentists take my insurance?
Most local offices accept the big PPO plans: Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian and BlueCross BlueShield of Texas. Bring your card or member number and the office will check your benefits before you are seen.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with milk or water, do not scrub it. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. Get to a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes. That window is when the tooth can most often be saved.
How much do dental implants cost in Denison?
A single implant with the post, abutment and crown typically runs $3,000 to $5,500 in North Texas. Bone grafts or extractions add to that. Many patients finance implants over 12 to 60 months.
Is a root canal painful?
Not with modern anesthesia. Most patients say the procedure feels like getting a filling. The pain you feel before the appointment, from the infected nerve, is what the root canal removes.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Every six months for most adults and children. If you have gum disease, diabetes, or you smoke, your dentist may recommend every three to four months.
What areas do you serve?
Denison, Sherman, Pottsboro, Howe, Van Alstyne, Whitesboro, Bells and the Lake Texoma area, plus Durant and Calera just across the Oklahoma line.
Do you see children?
Yes. Family practices in Denison see kids from their first tooth. A first visit is short and gentle: a look, a count, a polish and a sticker.
Can I get Invisalign in Denison?
Yes. Several Denison and Sherman dentists are Invisalign providers. Treatment usually takes 6 to 18 months and costs $3,000 to $6,500 depending on how much movement is needed.
