Treatment Plan Appointments

Treatment Plan Appointments are available to established medical patients only, and we require them before cleaning or non-emergency dental procedures. Once the initial visit is complete, the dentist will compose a treatment plan which can vary in type and price and may include a dental cleaning.

For any patients experiencing pain, infection, or swelling of an individual tooth, we offer Emergency Appointments, as described below.

Emergency Appointments

Emergency appointments are available to established medical patients only. These visits are for patients experiencing pain, infection, or swelling and want same-day treatment for the affected tooth. We perform an exam and x-ray of the affected tooth and propose the appropriate treatment. Following the Emergency Appointment, the patient can return another day to complete a Treatment Planning Appointment.

Uninsured Patients

For patients without dental insurance, we offer a Sliding Scale discount based on eligibility requirements. You will need to bring proof of income for yourself, spouse, and children under 19 years old to take advantage of the Sliding Scale discount. Please call the dental clinic at (205) 380-9446 for any questions regarding visit/procedure fees and cost.

What if I can’t make it to my appointment?
