Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Are your offices accessible to patients with disabilities?
Yes, we do our best to accommodate people of all abilities. Please contact our office before your appointment so we can discuss your specific needs and formulate a plan.
Is your facility wheelchair accessible?
We’ve designed our space with accessibility in mind to ensure a comfortable and convenient experience for all our patients. If you have any specific needs or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know when scheduling your appointment so we can further assist you and ensure a smooth visit.
What is the best way to contact my dentist at Today’s Dental?
To make an appointment, you can utilize our online scheduling tool any time of the day or night, or you can call the office phone number during office hours. If you have a question or concern, you can use our Text-a-Dentist option to send a text directly to your dentist. Or you can call the office phone number and our friendly staff will assist you.
Can I schedule an appointment for just a cleaning with the hygienist?
We don’t schedule standalone cleaning appointments. We recommend two routine dental visits per year (one every six months). This includes a full exam by a dentist to check for any issues, a screening for oral cancers that may otherwise go undetected, and a professional cleaning with the dental hygienist. Most dental insurance plans cover two routine exams per year for low or no copay.
Can my older child take their younger sibling to the dentist for me?
Generally, it is best for a parent or guardian to bring their child to an appointment to sign paperwork giving legal consent to allow treatment for any child aged 19 or younger. And it is best for a parent or guardian to be present to speak to the dentist about any concerns with the child’s dental health. However, in some situations, we can handle consent paperwork in advance and allow an older sibling to accompany a younger sibling. Please call our office to discuss your individual situation.
Can I visit the dentist when I’m pregnant?
Absolutely, yes! In fact, it is recommended for pregnant women to visit the dentist for a check-up during pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones can make you more prone to gum disease. Low birth weight and pre-term labor have been associated with gum disease.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes! Please call the Today’s Dental office closest to your home to schedule an appointment.
Can I speak with a doctor over the phone, it would just take a second?
While we’d love to chat, it’s often difficult to provide accurate advice or diagnoses without a proper examination. To ensure you receive the best care, we encourage you to schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Do Today’s Dental offer emergency appointments?
If you are currently experiencing a dental emergency, please call our office right away. Our dentists are available by text or phone for urgent or emergency needs, and we will do our best to schedule you as quickly as possible.
Can I get on a waitlist to get in sooner?
We understand your urgency. Please ask to be placed on our waitlist, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs and get you in sooner if there are any cancellations or openings.
I am in pain; can I get in sooner?
We’ll do our best to accommodate you. Let us check with the doctor to see if there are any openings or cancellations. In the meantime, can you describe the pain, and we can offer some advice for managing it until your appointment?
My benefits expire at the end of the month, can we get everything done by then which is in one week?
We wish we could! However, we are a business and have to cover our costs. We’ll do our best to maximize your insurance benefits and offer flexible payment options for any remaining balance.
When do I have to prepay for services to get on the schedule?
We typically don’t require prepayment to schedule an appointment. However, for certain extensive procedures, we might request a deposit to secure your spot.
Do you have evening and weekend hours?
You can check our regular office hours by location here. We are currently closed in the evenings and weekends. If you have a dental emergency outside of our regular hours, please call our office for instructions on how to reach our on-call dentist. We appreciate your understanding.
How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
To cancel or reschedule, please contact our office as soon as possible.
What happens if I’m running late?
We understand that things happen, and sometimes patients run late. We’ll do our best to accommodate you, but depending on the extent of the delay and the schedule, we may need to reschedule your appointment.
- Doctor side: If a patient is significantly late, it may disrupt the doctor’s schedule and impact other patients’ appointments. We may need to shorten the appointment or reschedule to ensure the doctor can provide adequate care to all patients.
- Hygiene side: We may be able to proceed with the cleaning if the delay is minimal. However, if the delay is significant, we may need to shorten the appointment or reschedule to ensure the hygienist can provide thorough care.
Can you see a patient over 400 lbs.?
Unfortunately, our office chairs have a weight limit of 400 lbs. As a result, we are unable to accommodate patients who weigh more than this limit. We understand that this may be disappointing news, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We value all of our patients and strive to provide the best possible care. However, we must also prioritize the safety of our patients and staff.
Why do you text me and email me so frequently to remind me of my appointment?
We understand that life gets busy, and we want to help you keep your appointments and maintain a healthy smile. We offer various communication options, and you can customize your preferences if you’d prefer fewer reminder
What if I need to discuss it with my spouse first?
That’s perfectly understandable. We want you to feel comfortable with your decision. Would you like to schedule a follow-up appointment or phone call to discuss this further after you’ve had a chance to speak with your spouse? We can also provide you with written information to share with them
