If you live in a city, you’ll have dozens or even hundreds of dentists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best dentist nearby so you can get the most appropriate and affordable dental care possible.

How does DenScore determine who the best dentists are?

DenScore rates dentists based on their clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. If dentists request to be included in our Best Dentist list, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed.

Some of the dentists below may pay for a sponsored listing in order to appear at the top of the list but they are subject to our strict quality control guidelines like every other dentist. Whether you view our Best Dentist list or any other website, we always recommend that you do your own research before choosing a dentist. Please view our Terms of Service for more information.

What is a filling and when do I need one?

A dental filling is a procedure used to repair damaged or missing tooth structure due to decay (a cavity), a fracture, crack, or excessive wear. Fillings may also be done for esthetic reasons, such as correcting discolored or crowded teeth. They help restore a tooth’s original shape, appearance, and function. The most common type of filling is composite resin (white in color), but some dentists still use amalgam (silver in color) in cases where there are concerns about access or saliva contamination.

Will dental insurance help me save money on dental care?

Dental treatment can be very affordable when people find the best dental insurance plan for their needs. Families that qualify for low-cost medical care can get Medicaid dental coverage, which provides free dental care to children. However, most states cover only a limited number of dental procedures for adults. For elderly patients, regular Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, but many Medicare Advantage plans offer excellent dental coverage, enabling seniors to save a lot of money on expensive dental procedures.

How does Delta Dental PPO dental insurance work?

Delta Dental PPO dental insurance is typically offered by employers or can be purchased separately as an individual or family policy. It is a popular plan among employers and consumers because Delta Dental has one of the largest networks of dental providers in the country. Compared to Delta Dental’s Premier plan, the PPO plan usually has lower monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs, as PPO dentists agree to reduced reimbursement rates. However, there are usually fewer Delta Dental PPO dentists to choose from than Delta Dental Premier dentists.

What are other ways to spend less money on dental care?

The best way to spend less money on dental care is to prevent problems from starting in the first place. Doing these things for your oral hygiene, limiting sugar intake and avoiding tobacco products will keep your teeth and gums healthy over time. If you have dental insurance, you’ll usually save a lot of money by seeing an in-network dentist. But if you don’t have dental insurance, have no fear! Some dental offices provide membership plans that can make dental care more affordable. Also, dentists’ prices vary considerably, so we recommend that you call a few dental offices to compare the cost of the same dental procedure if paying with cash.

How do I know if I’m getting the right dental treatment?

Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.
