Frequently Asked Questions

But before we start the process of rebuilding your grin, we want to make sure that all of your questions and concerns have been properly addressed. Please let us know if there’s anything you want to ask regarding our practice. To help you get started in finding the answers you need, we have used the following FAQs to address a few questions that tend to be on a lot of people’s minds.
What Level of Education is Required to Be a Prosthodontist?
Becoming a prosthodontist requires several years of study. First of all, one must earn a bachelor’s degree. The next step is to enroll in an accredited dental school in order to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). After graduating from dental school and becoming a licensed dentist, one needs to complete three additional years of residency training and education to be recognized as a prosthodontist.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
Since most emergency rooms are unable to properly handle dental problems, you should get in touch with a dental expert as soon as possible if there’s an urgent situation involving your mouth. For particularly complex emergencies, it’s best to reach out to an experienced prosthodontist. Our practice is ready to handle all kinds of emergency situations, and we’re proud to offer same-day appointments so that you can get the care you need as soon as possible. We’ll do all we can to resolve your issue in order to keep your smile safe.
If you have a dental issue that could potentially put your life at risk – such as a fractured jaw – you should call 911.
How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Pulled Without Insurance?
In the event that your tooth can’t be saved, it’s important to have an idea of how much it will likely cost to have it removed. The price of a tooth extraction can vary based on factors like the number of teeth involved and where they’re located in the mouth. That being said, the average cost of the procedure is in the range of $150 to $400. We’ll need to examine your mouth before we can give you a more precise estimate.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Dental Implants?
If you go to a regular dentist for dental implants, they may need to refer you to a specialist for the surgery. A prosthodontist, on the other hand, can personally handle every step of the dental implant process; this includes placing them in your jaw as well as restoring them with a lifelike crown, bridge, or denture. Dr. Shah is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and he utilizes the latest technology in order to perform computer-guided dental implant surgery, allowing him to deliver precise results. If you want to rebuild your smile with dental implants, it’s worth taking the time to make sure that the procedure is being performed by a true expert.
