- How much is a dental exam without insurance?
- The self-pay price for a complete new-patient exam with a full set of x-rays at Dental Salon is $199 at Lincoln Park and $129 at Schaumburg. It covers the exam, the x-rays, and a standard cleaning in the absence of gum disease; any treatment you need is quoted in writing before we start. If you use dental insurance instead, your cost depends on your plan and we bill your benefits rather than the special.
- Does the new patient special include a cleaning?
- Yes, in the absence of gum disease. The visit covers a complete exam, a full set of x-rays, and a standard cleaning, and it is $199 at Lincoln Park and $129 at Schaumburg. If the exam finds gum disease, a standard cleaning is not the right treatment, so we show you what we found and quote periodontal care in writing, and we can often start it the same day. The visit price is the same either way.
- How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
- A same-day emergency visit is $110 for patients paying out of pocket, which covers an exam of the area in pain plus the x-rays needed to diagnose it. Treatment to resolve the problem, such as a filling, extraction, or root canal, is quoted separately before any work begins. If you use dental insurance instead, your cost depends on your plan.
- Are the specials the same price at both offices?
- Not all of them. The same-day emergency visit is $110 at both offices. The complete new-patient exam is $199 at Lincoln Park and $129 at Schaumburg. Each office honors its own pricing, so book at the one you plan to visit and check that office's page for its exact figures.
- Can I use a special with my dental insurance?
- No. Our specials are self-pay pricing, so they cannot be combined with insurance benefits or our membership plan on the same visit. You can still use a special if you have dental insurance and would rather pay out of pocket without filing a claim. If you prefer to use your benefits, those are usually the better deal and we apply them automatically.
- Do I need to mention the special when I book?
- Yes. Mention the special when you book, either by phone or in the booking notes, and we will have it ready at check-in. Both offers are available at Lincoln Park and Schaumburg, six days a week.
