High Quality Can Fit Every Budget

We understand that dental care can be costly. That is why we accept most major dental insurance plans, offer an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance, and provide flexible financing options for everything from minor smile enhancements to full-mouth reconstruction. These flexible plans fully cover most treatment needs, and we even have extended payment options spanning up to 12 years, with coverage ranging from $500 to $75,000. Our plans feature fixed rates, transparent terms, and no hidden fees, making it easier to get the care you need with a payment option that fits your budget.

You Always See What We See

Trust and confidence begin with transparency. At Clear Coast Dental, this belief shapes everything we do. That is why we use an intraoral camera at every appointment. We recognize the use of an intraoral camera during every appointment is a little different. However, it is the best way for us to be sure you fully understand what is happening in your mouth before any treatment is started.

I’m a terrible dental patient because of years of painful treatment. The staff at Clear Dental is very understanding and sympathetic. It felt like I was getting treated by friends instead of a sterile experience. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?

It may be necessary to schedule a same-day appointment with your dentist if you are currently struggling with severe oral pain, damaged teeth, or some other type of urgent dental issue. The sooner you see your dentist, the sooner they will be able to identify the source of the problem, soothe your pain, and develop a treatment plan.

Setting up a same-day appointment is simple; all you need to do is call the dentist’s office and let them know that you have an issue that requires immediate attention. When you call, a staff member will ask for details about what caused the issue as well as what symptoms you are currently dealing with. They might also give you first-aid advice should you need any.

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

Step one is to make a list of everything you're looking for in a new dental home. In general, this will likely include:

  • Accepting your dental insurance plan.
  • Having office hours that are convenient for your schedule.
  • Having a location that you can easily get to.
  • Having an office you can feel comfortable in.
  • Providing many different services or a specific service that your smile needs.

Once you have clearly defined what you're looking for, narrowing down your options for dental practices should be much easier. As soon as you find an office that matches your criteria, you can take the time to learn more about them. Read over the biographies of the dentists at the practice for a more detailed look at their qualifications, and don't forget to look up the practice on Google to check out their online reviews.

How Much Does a Dental Checkup and Cleaning Cost in New Bedford, MA?

The average dental checkup and cleaning costs between $200 and $350 in the United States. However, these numbers alone don't tell the whole story. The specific price that you end up paying can be influenced by the geographic location of the practice, and your dental health can make a difference as well. Additionally, you should be aware of the coverage offered by your dental insurance plan (provided that you have one). Some dental insurance companies will fully cover the cost of preventive services; in other cases, you may still have to pay for a certain percentage of your care out of pocket.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?

Seeing the dentist regularly is key for avoiding cavities and various other oral health problems. If you're looking for ways to make dental care more affordable, you can:

  • Make good use of your dental insurance benefits.
  • Sign up for our practice’s in-house dental membership plan.
  • Apply for financing through CareCredit or Wisetack.

If you're interested in learning more about the various options that can help make dental care less of a strain on your bank account, talk to our team.
