How Pricing Works

Understanding Your Treatment Costs

Dental pricing can feel confusing, especially when a sore tooth or a broken filling has you searching for an emergency dentist in Chicago at ten o'clock at night. We built this fee guide so that you have a real number to work from before your appointment, not just a vague estimate after the fact. The amounts listed here reflect our standard fees for the most requested procedures at our Lincoln Avenue office, and they're the same numbers our front desk team works from every day.

A few things shape what you'll actually pay at checkout:

• Insurance network rates: if your plan is in network with us, your price is adjusted to match the rate we've negotiated with your specific carrier, which is often lower than our standard fee.
• PPO plan differences: even within the same insurance company, PPO plans vary from employer to employer, so your coverage percentage and annual maximum can look different from a coworker's or family member's plan.
• Membership plan savings: patients enrolled in our in-house membership plan receive additional discounts across most of the treatments on this page, which can make a real difference if you don't carry traditional insurance.
• Complexity of the case: ranges shown for procedures like root canals, crowns, or orthodontic care reflect the fact that every mouth is different, and the final number depends on what we find once treatment begins.

We know that cost is often the first question on your mind, right alongside how soon we can get you in. That's part of why we try to keep our scheduling flexible, including same-day visits for patients dealing with pain, a cracked tooth, or a lost filling. If you're comparing an affordable dental clinic in Chicago against a walk-in dental office near you, we'd simply ask that you look at both the price and what's actually included in that price, since a low number on an exam can sometimes turn into a surprise bill once X-rays and additional codes are added.

If you're a new patient, we recommend reading our New Patients page before your first visit so you know exactly what to bring, and visiting our First Visit page for a walk-through of what happens during that initial appointment. We also recommend checking our Insurance page to see which carriers we commonly work with before you call to confirm your personal benefits.
