My family has been under the care of Dr. Hermen for over 15 years. He and his staff are very diligent and thorough in their work. They are also very professional, caring, and friendly.

If you’re looking to improve the care that you give your teeth, chances are that you have a few questions about dentistry. Fortunately, you don’t need to go looking for answers alone! Our dental team near The Village is always happy to listen to your inquiries and provide you with helpful answers. You can get started on expanding your dental knowledge right now by reading over the FAQs below and seeing how we’ve responded to various popular dental questions.
Toothaches, damaged teeth, and teeth that have been knocked out of your mouth entirely are all examples of dental emergencies. In these types of situations, you should call our office. We can set up an appointment on the same day as your call, allowing us to begin the process of identifying and treating the problem as soon as possible.
There are certain emergencies involving the mouth that are best handled by the emergency room. Said emergencies include a fractured jaw, unceasing oral bleeding, and severe oral swelling that makes it harder to breathe or swallow. Please call 911 if you experience any of these severe symptoms.
Start by making a list of criteria for your ideal dental practice (such as taking your insurance, being easy to get to, being open at times that work for your schedule, and so on), then look for offices that match. When you find a practice that offers what you’re looking for, take the time to get a better feel for their approach to care and how they treat their patients in general. This can involve checking to see what feedback the practice has gotten on sites like Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades.
There’s no universal price tag for dental checkups and cleanings; the location of the practice that you visit can influence the cost, as can the state of your dental health. In the United States, the cost is often in the range of $200 to $350, and the exact details of your dental insurance coverage can affect the amount that gets paid out of your own pocket. Our team will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have regarding the cost of your care, and we can help you explore options for making your visit more affordable.
You can often expect the fee for a tooth extraction to fall between $150 and $400, but this is not set in stone. The number of teeth involved, the difficulty of the extraction, and whether the patient chooses to have sedation administered are all factors that can influence the cost of the procedure. And of course, as with checkups and cleanings, the location of the practice matters as well.
Our dental office is located at 13304 N MacArthur Blvd. in Oklahoma City. We are just off the John Kilpatrick Turnpike, next to Marin Park Nature Center and Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital. Even closer to our practice you will find Firestone Complete Auto Care, Arby’s, and Zips Car Wash. If you would prefer step-by-step instructions on locating our dental office near you, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We look forward to seeing you soon!
