Emergency Dental
We’re Here When You Need Us Most
why choose GEDC
for Emergency Dental ServicesDental emergencies can be daunting and nerve-racking — whether it’s a cracked tooth, loose crown, or a knocked-out tooth. Not all dental emergencies are equally urgent, though. Some require immediate treatment, while others can wait. It’s important that you understand the differences if something happens on the weekend or after normal dental office hours.
Urgent dental emergencies need to be dealt with immediately, and you need to contact your dentist ASAP. Click here to find a dentist near you, who can help with your dental emergency. We provide all the services you need under the same network, which makes it easier to get the care you need, when you need it. If for any reason you cannot meet with your dentist immediately, you will need to go to the emergency room for urgent dental emergencies.
If your dental emergency is not urgent, such as a broken retainer, you may be able to wait for a solution until your local dental office reopens. However, it is still essential that you contact your dentist as soon as you can, so we can develop a treatment plan that allows you to get back to living a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible.
Keep in mind that while your dentist is your go-to person in case of a dental emergency, some situations may be best for you to go straight to the ER. As a general rule, you should go to the ER if you are experiencing unbearable pain or profuse bleeding.
At Great Expressions, our doctors can assist with any of your dental emergencies, with access anytime, anywhere. They can typically help prevent most dental emergencies by treating your conditions, and help you maintain a lifelong plan for proper oral health. Visit us today to learn more and find a doctor near you, so we can help you Be Your Own Kind of Great.

CALCULATE YOUR PAYMENT
Cost of TreatmentDuring your initial consultation, your orthodontists will be able to determine your cost of treatment based on your specific needs. There are many factors that affect your cost of treatment, including the complexity and severity of your problem and the required length of treatment. The average cost of braces ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, with the national average at about $5,000.
Amount Covered By InsuranceThere are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers; each contract provides a different benefit. Orthodontic insurance usually has a lifetime maximum for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid as a percentage of the orthodontic fee (diagnostic records, initial fee, monthly payments, etc.) until the benefit maximum has been reached. Contact your insurance company directly to find out more information regarding your orthodontic benefits.
Flexible Spending AmountA FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck to pay for eligible medical expenses. This is deducted from your paycheck, not subjected to payroll taxes, and transferred directly into your FSA.
Health Spending Amount
A HSA is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision care expenses that aren't covered by your insurance plan.
YOUR ESTIMATED MONTHLY PAYMENT
This payment tool is provided to create an estimate of your monthly cost of dental treatment and is provided to you "as-is." Payments cannot exceed estimated treatment months. For actual treatment costs, please schedule a consultation with one of our board certified orthodontists.
