Frequently Asked Questions

If you are trying to find a dentist near Severna Park who can provide the services you need as well as the care and attention you desire, you’ve come to the right place. Our team at McCarl Dental Group at Shipley’s Choice is here to not only address your dental concerns but also answer your questions. We know you likely have many regarding your oral health and how we operate, so feel free to review the answers provided below and give us a call if you would like additional information.

How much does a dental checkup and cleaning cost near Severna Park?

Various factors can be considered when determining the price of a dental checkup and cleaning, one of which is your oral health. This type of preventive service includes a discussion about your overall health history as well as any concerns you might have. You can also expect to receive a thorough examination from a member of our dental team as well as a professional cleaning, dental X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.

With all of this included, the average cost for a dental checkup and cleaning is between $200 and $350 in the United States. However, if you have dental insurance, you are encouraged to use it, as many companies will agree to cover 80-100% of the cost.

How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

The only way to answer this question is by first determining what kind of dentist/dental practice you are looking for. It’s helpful to create a list of questions, as this can narrow down your options when searching for the right kind of oral healthcare provider. Some of these questions might be:

  • Do you prefer a dentist whose office is near your home or work?
  • Do you want a dentist who will see everyone in your family?
  • Do you want a general dentist or a specialist?
  • Are you looking for someone who can provide comprehensive services?
  • Is it necessary that they be in-network with your dental insurance?

Determining the answers to these questions can help you determine who in your area meets your needs. From there, you can schedule an appointment, take a tour of the office, and get to know the different members of the team. But before you arrive for your first visit, much of this information can be found on their website.

How do I get emergency dental care?

If you are suffering from a dental emergency, the first step you should take is to call our dental office. This will be the fastest way to let someone know about your situation so that we can get you the help you need. It’s important to remember that if it’s a life-threatening situation, make sure to call 911.

While it might seem more appropriate to visit your local emergency room, the truth is these facilities are not equipped to deal with many dental emergencies. They will only address the immediate symptoms, not provide extensive help.

At McCarl Dental Group at Shipley’s Choice, our dentists are well-versed in emergency dentistry and can provide same-day and Saturday availability to help you back on your feet.

It is believed there are anywhere from 18-22 dentists located in Severna Park. We know you have many to choose from, but we also know that since 1938, our dentists have continued to provide the highest level of quality dental care in the area.
