My family has been going to Anderson for 1.5 years and have had great experiences. The dentists and hygienists are respectful, do a good job with education, and are great with my little kids. The front staff is very helpful and friendly too.

The dental tech was the best! Doc worked quickly and I felt fine afterwards. I still hope I never have to have another crown in the future, but if I do, I’ll definitely come here.

Don

The hygienist was so friendly and very patient with me. She had several suggestions for my sensitive teeth that I'm going to try. She also helped break down for me my benefits from my new dental insurance plan which helped a lot. Thanks Anderson Dental!

Frequently Asked Questions

In the interest of educating our patients, we’ve provided answers to a few common dental questions below. If there’s anything else you want to ask, don’t hesitate to let us know.

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

Whether you need a new dental home for routine checkups and cleanings or are searching for a cosmetic dentist in Rapid City who can make the smile of your dreams a reality, it’s always worth taking the time to consider your unique needs. What kind of practice are you looking for? Do you need one that will take your dental insurance plan? What kind of hours should they offer? How close should they be to your home or workplace? Figure out what traits matter the most to you so that you can pick a truly suitable practice.

Of course, it’s also important to get an idea of how the dentist and their team generally treat their patients. By reading reviews on Google and Facebook, you can learn about the experiences that other patients have had with the practice. This can give you a better idea of what to expect when you schedule your own appointment.

What Level of Education is Required to Be a Dentist?

Becoming a dentist involves earning a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Obtaining either of these degrees requires enrolling in one of the United States’ 67 accredited dental schools and completing four years of study.

Even a dentist who has already earned one of the requisite degrees is expected to keep expanding their knowledge. A certain number of continuing education hours must be completed regularly in order for the dentist to remain licensed.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Pulled Without Insurance?

Having a tooth extracted in the United States can cost between $150 and $400 on average. That said, it’s hard to name an exact price ahead of time because there are so many factors that need to be taken into account. Once our team has had a chance to examine your mouth and learn more about your situation, we can determine how much your tooth extraction will likely cost based on variables such as the number of teeth being removed and whether you want dental sedation to be used during the procedure.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?

Paying for dental care now can help you avoid more serious issues in the future. To make the financial aspect of your treatment easier to manage, we are happy to accept all PPO dental insurance plans. On top of that, we offer financing through CareCredit to give patients the option of paying in monthly installments. Don’t be afraid to talk to our team to find out how we can make your care more affordable.
