What is included in a dental check-up?

At Forever Dental, a dental check-up typically includes several key components to ensure your oral health is properly assessed:

Comprehensive exam: Your dental care team consists of skilled dentists and hygienists to examine your teeth, gums and mouth, checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health issues.
Digital X-rays and scans: X-rays are taken to get a detailed view of your teeth, roots and bone structure. This helps identify issues not visible during the physical exam, such as cavities between teeth or bone loss.
Oral cancer screening: At Forever Dental, dentists perform an oral cancer screening at an additional cost as part of the routine checkup to detect any early signs of mouth cancer or precancerous conditions.
Consultation: After your dental exam, your care team will review the results with you and develop a personalized treatment plan to help maintain your oral health and address any potential issues.

How much is a dental checkup without insurance?

The cost of a dental check-up without insurance can vary depending on your location. Prices may also differ between offices, and routine cleaning is not included in the base checkup cost at Forever Dental.

If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t worry—we can help. We offer third-party financing options to ensure you receive the care you need. You can also explore our Forever Dental Savings Plan for additional savings.

Most insurance plans are accepted at your local Forever Dental office. Please note, we do not accept Medicaid.

What's the most expensive dental procedure?

The most expensive dental procedure is often considered to be a full mouth restoration. This involves a combination of dental surgeries and treatments such as dental implants, veneers, bridges or crowns to completely overhaul and restore the mouth. The reason for its high cost is due to how comprehensive the procedures can be. It requires advanced technology, multiple visits, various specialists and dental experts. It addresses both aesthetic and functional issues, making it a complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive process.

How much does a dental check-up cost in the US?

The cost of a dental check-up in the U.S. can vary depending on several factors, including dentist location, whether you have dental insurance, and the specific services included. On average nationwide, without insurance, a dental check-up can range $45. This typically includes a comprehensive exam, and X-rays. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your needs, please contact your local Forever Dental office.
For those with dental insurance, many plans cover preventive care at 100%, meaning the check-up could be at no cost to you. However, it’s important to note that costs can vary based on your location and the specifics of your insurance plan. At Forever Dental, we accept most insurance plans to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses, though we do not accept Medicaid.
