Frequently asked questions
Well-informed smiles are healthy smiles.
We want our patients — from Bergenfield to Dumont — to feel confident about everything related to their oral health. You're always welcome to get in touch directly, but here's a head start.
Remember, hospitals rarely have dentists on staff — so you shouldn't head to the ER unless you're experiencing potentially life-threatening symptoms like uncontrollable bleeding, difficulty swallowing, or trouble breathing. Otherwise, call us right away. One of our knowledgeable team members will guide you through what to do until you arrive at our office for treatment from one of our skilled emergency dentists in Bergenfield.
According to Google, Bergenfield's population was 28,321 in 2020. Since there's typically one dentist for every 2,000 people, that means roughly 14 dentists in the area. Naturally, not all 14 are a great fit for you — factors like dental insurance, the treatment you're interested in, and how comfortable you feel with the team all matter. Curious why patients choose us? Click here.
For an estimate of the cost of your care, we recommend giving our team a call — that way we can provide an accurate number instead of a general range. If a general range is what you're after: the average cost of a checkup and cleaning in the U.S. is between $200 and $350. (Our $99 new patient special covers the exam, x-rays, and cleaning.)
One of the easiest ways is searching Google for "female dentist near me" — though asking friends, family, and coworkers for recommendations works well too. At Washington Dental Associates, we're proud to have two highly trained, dedicated, passionate, and talented female dentists: Dr. Mariliza LaCap and Dr. Liana Penafiel!
