Prices from 5 Georgia dental practices
This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this visit. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the visit involves
An emergency exam is a focused visit for one problem, such as an injury, a broken tooth or a lost filling. The dentist looks at the area, usually takes an X-ray and then explains what treatment the problem calls for.
That makes it different from a new-patient exam, which is a broad first look at your whole mouth.
What moves the price
- New or current patient
- Some offices charge a different exam fee depending on whether you are already their patient. Ask before you book.
- Fee credited to treatment
- Some offices apply the exam fee toward treatment if you go ahead with it there. Ask whether yours does before you pay.
- Referral to a specialist
- If the problem needs an oral surgeon or an endodontist, the exam here may be separate from that specialist's own charge for seeing you.
- Billing your plan or paying
- Some plans may cover part of an emergency exam, and the office may bill the plan first or ask you to pay and claim it back. Your insurer can tell you what your plan covers.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each dental office before you compare prices:
- Is the X-ray in the emergency exam price, or billed on top?
- Will you take an image of just the problem area or a wider view of my mouth?
- If I go ahead with treatment here, is the exam fee credited toward it?
- Before I agree to treatment, can you give me its price in writing?
- If I am not an existing patient, does the exam cost differ?
