Every Dental Emergency Is Different
Because no two smiles are the same, the cost of treating dental emergencies can vary widely. For example:
- A chipped or cracked tooth may only need bonding or a crown.
- Severe tooth pain could be treated with a root canal.
- A lost restoration may require replacement.
- Oral injuries may need multiple treatments or follow-up visits.
Our team at Lexington Smile Studio will always start with a thorough exam to figure out the source of your discomfort. The findings will inform your treatment choices and help us choose the option that restores your oral health, comfort, and confidence.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
Most dental insurance plans include at least partial coverage for emergency services, though the details vary. Exams, X-rays, and basic treatments are often covered at higher percentages, while major restorative care may require other out-of-pocket costs.
No matter what you need, our team will verify your benefits, file claims on your behalf, and explain how your plan can be applied to reduce your emergency expenses. We’ll make sure you understand exactly what’s covered before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.

Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money
Preventive care is the best way to avoid unexpected dental costs. By visiting us regularly for checkups and cleanings, you can catch small issues before they become painful and expensive problems.
Daily brushing and flossing, along with maintaining a healthy diet, are also foundational in keeping your teeth strong.
Investing in prevention today can mean fewer emergencies tomorrow. For example, treating a cavity early may only require a filling, while waiting could lead to a root canal or crown.
By prioritizing routine dental visits, you not only protect your oral health but also keep your budget from bending due to avoidable emergency costs.
