We accommodate numerous payment options for your convenience. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly dental team to explore these possibilities further. Your path to a healthier smile is just a conversation away!
Payment Options
We accept the following forms of payment:
- Cash

- Debit
- Credit cards
- Care Credit
- Assignment of benefits
We can also provide assistance in obtaining financing through CareCredit if you prefer an alternative payment option.
Dental Insurance
As a courtesy to our patients, we file insurance claims on your behalf. At the time treatment is provided, we will collect the amount that we estimate insurance will not cover. This is only an estimation; we will either bill or refund the difference after the insurance has made its payment decision.
We are an out-of-network provider, so that we can make recommendations based on your oral health without outside pressure from insurance companies. However, our friendly and helpful team will help you maximize your insurance benefits.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call our team at Bass & Watson Family Dental.
Generally, people take 2–3 days off work or school to recuperate. However, if your job involves physical labor or if you're a student with a rigorous schedule, you may need to consider a longer recovery period. Always consult with your dentist to discuss your personal circumstances and receive a tailored recovery plan.
Tooth Extraction Recovery
The recovery time after having wisdom teeth removed varies significantly among individuals, and the specific time you'll need off work or school will depend on several factors, such as:
- The complexity of the extraction
- Your personal pain threshold
- How quickly your body heals
Generally, most patients require a few days to a week off to recover after wisdom teeth removal. Minor bleeding, swelling, and discomfort are expected within 24–48 hours after surgery.
What to Do after a Tooth Extraction
Throughout the healing process, our dentists recommend the following:
- Eat a soft diet.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity.
- Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Elevate your head during sleep.
- Take medications as prescribed or directed.
- Gently brush and floss, avoiding the surgical site.
Your dentist will provide you with more detailed instructions based on your specific needs.
