Have a dental problem? Not sure whether you should see a dentist today or if it can wait until your next office visit? We now offer virtual dentist visits that let you speak directly with one of our dentists and discuss your next steps from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Schedule a Virtual Dentist Visit
Talk With a Dentist From The Comfort of Your Home
A virtual dental consultation is a convenient option for patients with questions or concerns that they want to discuss before coming into the office. During your appointment, one of our dentists will listen to what is going on, ask questions, and review photos or video.
During your consultation, you’ll get the information you need to feel confident about your next move. That might be seeing a dentist that day, waiting until your next appointment, or simply monitoring the issue. Regardless, we’ll provide an expert opinion you can feel confident in.
When a Virtual Dentist Appointment May Be the Right Choice for You
A virtual dentist appointment with one of our dentists at The Healing Art of Dentistry may be the best choice for a variety of dental problems, including:
- Tooth pain
- Sensitivity
- A chipped or broken tooth
- Swelling
- Bleeding gums
- A lost filling or crown
- Denture issues
It can be a great starting point for a second opinion, questions, or help deciding when to schedule an appointment with your dentist.
You’ll have a chance to tell us what’s been bothering you and ask any questions you have. Dr. Cohen will let you know whether you should come into the office or what you should do at home.
What a Virtual Dental Visit Cannot Replace
A virtual dental visit can help with advice and treatment planning, but some issues do require an in-person examination. You can’t perform X-rays, take gum measurements, evaluate your bite, or provide other treatments during a video visit. For dental care that requires any of those, you would need to come into the office.
You should seek urgent medical or dental care if you have:
- Swelling
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
- A significant facial injury
For many other concerns, a virtual dental consultation can be a convenient first step, especially if you do not have the time or availability to be seen in person.
