We take a patient-focused approach to care. Part of that involves always taking the time to listen to our
patients so that we can answer their questions and address any concerns that they might have. To help make
sure that you’re fully informed about your dental care, we’ve put together the following FAQs. If there’s
anything else you want to ask, feel free to set up a consultation at our office so that you can speak to our
team in person!
What is the Best Way to Find a Cosmetic Dentist?
Plenty of dental practices are able to offer smile-enhancing services such as veneers or teeth whitening.
But the fact of the matter is that some dentists have been more thoroughly trained in such procedures
than others. To get a better feel for a dentist’s skill level in cosmetic dentistry, it’s
worth checking their credentials.
Dr. Ruiz has a reputation as one of the top aesthetic dentists in Los Angeles as well as throughout
California. He is currently the Director of the Los Angeles Institute of Esthetic Dentistry, and he is a
respected educator who often shares his knowledge of cosmetic dentistry with others.
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
It’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to sort through all the results that come up when you perform
an online search for a nearby dentist. You can narrow the field by figuring out what traits matter most
to you; for example, you likely want a dentist who is close to your home and is willing to take your
insurance. Once you’ve found a dentist that seems to fit your needs, take the time to learn
more about their credentials and their overall approach to care. You should also see what their patients
think of them by reading reviews on sites such as Google and Yelp.
How Much Does a Dental Checkup and Cleaning Cost in Burbank, CA?
If you simply want to know what the average cost of a dental checkup and cleaning is, the answer is
between $200 and $350 in the United States. When it comes to the cost of your own visit, however, you
should know that the final price can be influenced by the location of the practice and your dental
health. Rest assured that we offer multiple payment options and can help you find ways to make necessary
preventive care more affordable.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
The best person to call during a dental emergency is typically your dentist since, compared to the ER,
they are often in a better position to treat toothaches and other oral health issues. When you contact
our office for emergency dental care, we will ask questions about your situation and offer advice for
managing your discomfort. We will often be able to see you on the same day as you call; once you get to
our office, we will examine your mouth, identify the source of the problem, and explain what treatments
are available for restoring your oral health.
Keep in mind that you should call 911 if your life is in danger due to a broken jaw, swelling that
interferes with swallowing or breathing, oral bleeding that can’t be halted, or any other reason.
