How much is a dental checkup and cleaning in Springfield, NJ?

The American Dental Association recommends having a routine checkup and cleaning every six months to prevent potential oral issues, like cavities and gum disease. However, if it’s been a while since your last visit, you might not know how much this type of routine maintenance might cost.

Usually, you can expect to pay anywhere from $120 to $200 for a basic checkup and cleaning, though the pricing can vary significantly based on your unique circumstances. For instance, if you have dental insurance, up to 100% of your appointment might be covered. With that said, you might pay more if you need X-rays, topical fluoride, or if our team identifies any issues that require attention.

How can I find a provider who identifies as female?

Many patients who suffer from dental anxiety do better with dentists who have a gentler touch. If you’re specifically seeking out a provider who identifies as a woman, you’re in luck! Nearly one-third of currently active dentists in the U.S. and nearly half of dental students identify this way. In many cases, a quick internet search using your favorite browser can provide a local list of results near you.

At our office in Springfield, patients benefit from a team of highly accomplished women who collaborate to provide a comprehensive menu of services to meet all your needs and those of your family conveniently under one roof.

How should I find a quality cosmetic dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t a specialty that’s officially recognized by the American Dental Association, so essentially, any general dentist can claim to be one. But not all providers have the same levels of experience or skill to help you achieve your smile goals.

If you’re wondering whether your dentist can provide the desired enhancements, you can ask about their qualifications. Most providers are happy to share as much information as you need to feel confident moving forward. For instance, at our office in Springfield, Dr. Henkin has a specific interest in cosmetic procedures and has completed many hours of continuing education to learn current trends and techniques.

What do you do if you can’t afford to visit the dentist?

Dental insurance can be a simple and effective way to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for everything from routine maintenance to more complex procedures. However, our team understands that not everyone in Springfield carries a policy, and we don’t want your finances to hold you back from receiving top-quality services to improve your smile.

If you’re a new patient and are concerned about affording your appointment, you might benefit from our $155 New Patient special promotion. We have also partnered with CareCredit to offer flexible financial packages. If your application is approved, you can divide your final invoice into more manageable installments that are easier on your wallet.
