Dr. Weissich is such a great doctor! He has been nothing but kind, professional and personable since he took over the practice from my previous dentist. Easy to talk to and educates on why he does what he does. Highly recommend!
The first step in getting emergency dental care is to call W Dental for faster assistance. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
Most hospital emergency rooms, urgent care clinics, and mobile ERs are not equipped to assist in dental emergencies, and thus if you go to one of these establishments, you are unlikely to be treated.
In most cases, Dr. Jake can schedule you for a same-day appointment, but please call us at your earliest convenience and allow our staff to assist you.
Dental emergencies are often an indicator of larger dental problems and are an important sign that it’s time to get back into the habit of regularly visiting the dentist. Regular visits can help prevent future emergencies from occurring, saving you time, money, and of course your smile!
The easiest way to make a same-day appointment is by calling W Dental directly. Sending an email will not get you an answer as quickly. A phone call is also much more effective, as it allows our team to better understand the problem and ensure that you get the best care as fast as possible.
The goal of a same-day appointment is to assess the problem, eliminate the source of pain, and formulate a treatment plan for the future. In some cases, Dr. Jake may be able to complete a more advanced treatment during a same-day appointment.
Finding the best place to get dental work done is easier than you might think. To do so, first you’ll need to determine exactly what you’re looking for, or what matters most to you. For most patients, this is usually a combination of things like welcoming your insurance, practice location, dentist credentials, safety and cleanliness standards, and hours of operation.
Additionally, you should know what kind of dental care you need, such as someone who can treat children, a routine cleaning and check-up, major restorative work, orthodontics, or even cosmetic procedures. Certain dentists are better equipped for certain treatments.
Finally, it is important to get a good feel for the dental practice. How do they treat patients? At W Dental – Fresno, we believe that excellent oral health is a collaborative effort between dentist and patient, which is why Dr. Jake goes the extra mile to ensure that you understand your treatment options, as well as how to maintain your smile on your own.
Once you have clearly defined your wants, you can read patient reviews as well as Dr. Jake’s bio on our website to ensure we’re a great fit!
The cost of a dental check-up and cleaning can vary depending on geographic location and other factors, including your individual oral health.
Your check-up and cleaning should begin with a patient health history, as well as a discussion of your questions and concerns. It should also include a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.
On average, this type of appointment will cost between $200 and $350 here in the United States. If you have dental insurance, the fees for a check-up and cleaning (including out of pocket co-pays) are negotiated by your insurance company with our practice.
All dentists in the United States must either earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree from one of the 67 accredited dental schools in America.
Acceptance to dental school requires a bachelor's degree, as well as high grades in in a science and math heavy major.
Dental school is an additional three-year degree, with a combination of both classroom and hands-on learning.
Some dentists may choose to continue their education by earning one of 12 specializations recognized by the American Dental Association. These require an additional three or more years of dental school training.
Following graduation, all dentists are required to complete a certain amount of continuing education hours annually in order to keep their license active.
