Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to receive dental work?
The only way to determine where you will find the best dental work is to consider what you want out of a dentist and their practice. Everyone’s criteria will be different, so to identify the most essential needs, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I want a dental practice that is close to my home or office?
- Does the practice need to offer comprehensive care, or do you want specialty services?
- Is it necessary for the dentist to be in-network with your dental insurance?
- Do you need flexible operating hours?
- Do they need to be able to treat your family as well?
- Do they need to offer alternative payment options?
After answering these questions, you can begin narrowing your search and reviewing the websites of those you choose. At Flagship Dental Group, we are pleased to provide personalized care to patients of all ages, and we are in-network with various insurance companies. We also offer a Simply Savings Plan and flexible financing to make receiving our comprehensive dental care more affordable.
How much does a dental checkup and cleaning cost in Springfield?
The average dental checkup and cleaning appointment costs between $200 and $350. These visits include:
- Dental X-rays
- A discussion with the dentist about what brought you in, your concerns and your smile goals
- A thorough examination of your oral health and facial anatomy
- A complete teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Additional dental imaging
- An oral cancer screening
- A discussion about any proposed treatment plan
The comprehensive nature of these appointments is why the price can vary so widely. Fortunately, dental insurance often covers 100% of the cost of these visits, so if you have it, use it.
What if you cannot afford a dentist?
Even if you think you cannot afford to see your dentist near Springfield, do not dismiss your appointment. Instead, call and ask about alternative payment options that might be available. Many offices welcome dental insurance but also offer an in-house membership plan and flexible financing.
Flagship Dental Group is pleased to be in-network with BlueCross BlueShield Indemnity, Altus, Delta Dental Premier, and Cigna. We also have our Simply Savings Plan, which requires only an annual fee for immediate access to preventive services and other in-house discounted treatments.
Finally, we partner with CareCredit to help you break up the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments.
