"I moved to the L/A area 3 years ago and it was past time I found a new dental practice. I checked a few
places online and decided on Willow Run. Man, am I glad I did! Everyone is friendly and courteous. My
hygienist Jennifer explained everything on the first visit, and Dr. Schneider was also friendly and
quite informative."

Frequently Asked Questions from Dental Patients in Auburn
Calling our dental office would be the quickest and most convenient way to get the answers you need for any questions or concerns you might have. That said, we’re aware that many people prefer researching online, or they are simply too busy during the day. To make it easier to get the information you need, our team has compiled and answered several of our most commonly asked questions from our dental patients in Auburn and the surrounding communities. Give us a call to schedule an appointment or read on to learn more!
How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?
The best place for you to undergo dental treatment will depend on what you think is important. This can involve a mixture of factors, such as location, hours of operation, payments/insurance, safety, and professional credentials. You should also know what kind of service(s) you are interested in or need, such as if you want to improve your pearly whites with cosmetic dentistry or require a dental implant as a tooth replacement. Certain practices will be a better fit than others. For instance, other dentists may refer patients out for dental implants while our team can perform the entire process in-house. Lastly, get familiar with the practice and their philosophy toward dental care, as you’ll want to be comfortable and confident with the team you’ll be receiving treatment from.
How Do I Get Emergency Dental Care?
Always call your emergency dentist if you suspect you have an urgent dental situation at hand. Someone on our team should be able to help pencil you in for the earliest appointment possible. Don’t forget, however, that you’ll need to visit your local ER for more dire situations, such as trouble breathing/swallowing, a broken/dislocated jaw, and uncontrollable bleeding. They might not address the dental situation but they can at least keep you safe and pain-free until we can help you. Our office offers same-day emergency visits, that way you can be more likely to receive the necessary treatment at a moment’s notice. Also, keep in mind that many dental emergencies are signs of “bigger” underlying issues, so it’s important to visit your dentist regularly so that they can address any they might detect early on.
How Much Does it Cost to Get a Tooth Extracted Without Insurance?
While this can vary based on factors like geography and a person’s dental health, the cost of tooth extractions can typically range between $150 and $400 across the United States. Wisdom tooth extractions also come with a higher price compared to normal ones, as they often require help from an oral surgeon. You might also expect additional expenses based on the complexity of your procedure, which can raise the overall price. If you are insured, then you may have your fees negotiated by your dentist and provider.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?
Remember that dental care is mainly about prevention, so you should maintain good oral hygiene every day and schedule checkups and cleanings every six months to save money. Dental insurance is another great tool for minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses, and our team will be more than happy to help you navigate your policy and file claims on your behalf. Our office also accepts Essential Dental Plan memberships so that you can enjoy discounts on many of our services, as well as special promotions that can help you save money on certain treatments. We’re also partnered with CareCredit—a third-party financier that can break up the total price of dental care into monthly installments that come with little-to-no interest. Speak with our team if you want to explore money-saving opportunities so you can focus on treating your smile stress-free!
