Are you looking for a dentist in Tampa? You likely have some unanswered questions, so we’re here to help! Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we are asked at our practice.

The best way to schedule a same-day appointment with your dentist is to give us a call directly. This way, you can let a member of our team know what’s going on so they can give you further instructions. They will schedule you to be seen as soon as possible to get to the bottom of the issue. The goal of a same-day emergency visit is for your dentist to eliminate your pain, assess the situation, and to put together a plan for further treatment. Sometimes, more advanced dental procedures can be completed during the same-day appointment.
The cost of a tooth extraction can vary depending on geography and other factors. The average cost for an extraction in markets across the United States is between $150 and $400. Additional fees can apply depending on the difficulty of the procedure and whether other treatments are necessary. If you have insurance, your procedure may be partially covered by your provider.

To get into dental school, you must have a bachelor’s degree. Dental school is 3 years with a combination of classroom and hands-on learning. On top of that, all dentists need to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to keep their license.
