DENTIST NEAR NEW BRITAIN, PA

I Need a Checkup & Cleaning

All too often, patients wait until they are in excruciating pain to schedule an appointment. By that point, extensive restorative care, like a root canal, is often needed. Our goal as your dental team near New Britain is to keep your smile healthy, and that starts with biannual checkups and cleanings. During these visits, we cover a lot of ground – from conducting an oral cancer screening and removing built-up plaque to checking the condition of your teeth, gums, and existing dental work.

I Want To Improve My Smile

If you aren’t happy with your smile because your teeth are chipped, stains, crooked, or imperfect in another way, it’s time to schedule a consultation with our talented cosmetic dentist near New Britain, Dr. Rakowsky. He offers several smile-enhancing services, including custom veneers and take-home teeth whitening treatments. Plus, Invisalign is available for patients who are struggling with mild to moderate malocclusion and want to straighten their teeth without the metal!

I am Missing 1 or More Teeth

Tooth loss doesn’t just take a toll on your confidence; it also limits your diet, makes it difficult to communicate, and leads to bone loss. That’s why we recommend scheduling a consultation at our dental office near New Britain, even if you are only missing one of your back molars. At this appointment, Dr. Rakowsky will learn about your dental history, needs, and goals before reviewing your tooth-replacement options. Dental implants are one of the most popular choices because they can last for 30+ years!

I am Concerned About Bleeding Gums

Are your gums tender, swollen, or bleeding? Have you noticed a shift in your bite or other abnormal symptoms, like persistent sensitivity? If so, don’t wait – call our dental office near New Britain right away. The sooner you do, the sooner we can schedule an appointment and pinpoint the root of the problem. If it’s gum disease, then we can determine what’s needed to treat or manage the infection. We can also determine if any other restorative care is needed to restore your healthy smile at this time.

I Have a Cavity or Broken Tooth

If it hurts to bite down, you’re dealing with persistent sensitivity, or there is dark discoloration on one of your teeth, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Instead, contact us right away to share your symptoms. In addition to scheduling an appointment for you with Dr. Rakowsky, we will share what to do from home to alleviate your discomfort and protect your tooth from further harm in the meantime.

I am In Pain & Need Help

Dental injuries like chipped, cracked, and knocked out teeth warrant an immediate call to our dental office near New Britain. That way, we can provide the necessary restorative care right away, restoring the look, health, and function of your smile in the process. If you are experiencing potentially life-threatening symptoms, like difficulty swallowing or trouble breathing, then you should call 911 or head to the ER.

We Welcome Dental Insurance

Dental insurance is a fantastic way to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for dental work. Depending on your plan and provider, you could enjoy as much as 80 percent coverage for major procedures and 100 percent on preventive care like professional cleanings, checkups, and diagnostics like X-rays.

At our New Britain practice, we’re proud to work with Delta Dental Premier and all other major PPO plans. We’re also glad to guide our patients through every step of the process, from finding details in their policies to filing claims on their behalf. So, if you’re not insurance-speak savvy, don’t worry, we have you covered.

We Happily Accept Flexible Financing

If you don’t have dental insurance, financing through a flexible option like CareCredit is the next best thing. With this service, you can:

• Apply Easily: Complete a simple application online or in our office.
• Break Down Payments: Divide treatment costs into manageable monthly installments.
• Choose Flexible Terms: Select from various plans, some with low or no interest.
