Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — we welcome new patients and their families. Whether you recently moved to the Surprise area, are looking for a change from your current provider, or simply haven't had a dental home in a while, our team is here to help you get comfortable and get started. You can call us at 480-795-2420 or request an appointment at westbelldentalcare.com. If you have questions about insurance, records transfers, or what to expect on your first visit, we're happy to answer those before you book.

We work with a wide range of dental insurance plans. Patients have asked us about Delta Dental PPO, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, GEHA, United Concordia, and Mercy Care Advantage, among others. Because insurance plans and coverage details change frequently, the best way to confirm whether we accept your specific plan is to call us at 480-795-2420 — our team will verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no surprises at checkout.

Absolutely — many of our patients are uninsured or self-pay. We offer transparent pricing and payment plan options so that cost concerns don't have to stand between you and the care you need. If you'd like to know the approximate cost of a specific service before scheduling, give us a call at 480-795-2420 and we'll give you an honest, no-pressure answer. We believe everyone deserves access to quality dental care.

Yes — sedation dentistry is one of the services we offer specifically for patients who experience dental anxiety or need extensive treatment. Dental anxiety is something many patients share, and our team takes it seriously without judgment. Beyond sedation, we create a comfort-first environment from the moment you walk in — including amenities designed to help you feel at ease. If anxiety has been keeping you from getting care you need, please tell us when you call or book online. We'll make sure your experience is different.

Yes — dental implants are one of our most requested restorative services. An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that replaces the root of a missing tooth, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. The process typically involves an initial consultation and imaging to assess bone health, the implant placement procedure, a healing period, and finally the placement of the crown. For patients asking about the cost of implants alongside bone grafts or extractions, those details are best discussed at a consultation where we can give you accurate numbers based on your specific situation.

We offer extended hours throughout the week, including Saturday appointments — which is a meaningful convenience for families, working professionals, and retirees who prefer not to miss work or school for dental care. Our current hours are Monday and Friday 7 AM–5 PM, Tuesday through Thursday 7 AM–7 PM, and Saturday 8 AM–3 PM. We're closed on Sundays. Call 480-795-2420 or visit westbelldentalcare.com to find a time that works for you.

Yes — we offer same-day emergency dental care for patients experiencing urgent tooth pain, broken teeth, lost restorations, or other dental emergencies. If you're in pain or have an urgent situation, call us at 480-795-2420 as early in the day as possible and we'll do our best to get you in that same day. Dental emergencies don't wait for a convenient time, and neither should you.

Yes — professional teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic services. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options. In-office whitening uses a professional-strength treatment that delivers faster, more noticeable results in a single appointment. Take-home kits use custom-fitted trays with professional-grade gel for a more gradual approach over a couple of weeks. Our team can help you choose the option that fits your timeline and goals. Whitening works best on natural tooth structure, so if you have crowns, veneers, or significant discoloration, we'll give you an honest assessment of what to expect.

Yes — porcelain veneers and full smile makeovers are part of our cosmetic dentistry offerings. Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, minor gaps, or uneven edges. A smile makeover combines cosmetic and restorative treatments into a personalized plan based on what you want to change about your smile. During a consultation, our team will assess your teeth honestly and recommend options that make sense for your goals and your budget — without pressuring you into more than you need.

Yes — PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Facial Rejuvenation is a natural aesthetic treatment we offer as part of our expanded services. It uses your own platelets to stimulate collagen production and tissue renewal, providing a natural-looking improvement in skin quality and volume — including lip rejuvenation. We also offer Botox and dermal fillers. These services are performed by our trained dental team, who have the advanced anatomy knowledge to deliver these treatments safely. Patients interested in natural-looking aesthetic results have asked about PRF specifically, and we're happy to walk you through whether it's a good fit during a consultation.

Yes — we provide both full and partial dentures for patients who need to replace missing teeth. We also see patients interested in implant-supported dentures for a more secure, natural-feeling fit. Pricing for dentures depends on the type and the specific work involved, which is why we recommend a consultation to get accurate numbers. If you're currently wearing dentures that no longer fit well or are considering your options after tooth loss, our team can help you understand what's available and what makes sense for your situation.

Yes — we can help facilitate the transfer of your dental records and X-rays from a previous provider. The process typically involves a records release authorization from your prior office, and our team can guide you through that. If you're a new patient and your previous records are taking time to arrive, we'll take our own X-rays at your first appointment so we have a clear baseline for your care. Call us at 480-795-2420 to get started.

We offer root canal therapy at West Bell Dental Care, so most patients can have that treatment completed right here without being sent to a specialist. Root canals have a reputation for being uncomfortable, but with modern techniques and our comfort-first approach, most patients find the experience far more manageable than they expected. If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity that might indicate a problem inside the tooth, call us at 480-795-2420 so we can assess the situation.

Some sensitivity after a deep cleaning (also called scaling and root planing) is common and expected. Your gums have been through a thorough cleaning process that removes buildup from below the gum line, and it's normal for teeth to feel tender or sensitive to temperature for a few days to a few weeks afterward. If sensitivity is severe, lasting longer than expected, or accompanied by significant pain, that's worth a call to our office at 480-795-2420 so we can make sure everything is healing normally. We're always happy to answer follow-up questions from our patients.

Yes — we offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy for patients interested in straightening their teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. It's a popular option for adults and teens who want a more discreet treatment experience. During a consultation, we'll take a look at your bite and alignment to determine whether you're a good candidate and give you a realistic sense of timeline and cost.

Yes — we serve patients from across the Surprise area, including Sun City Grand (also known as The Grand), Marley Park, Surprise Farms, Legacy Parc, Ashton Ranch, Sierra Montana, Rancho Gabriela, Greer Ranch North, Copper Canyon Ranch, Desert Oasis, and Sun City. Many of our patients are retirees from Sun City Grand who value convenience, comfort, and a dental home they can count on. Whether you're nearby or making a short drive to see us, we're glad you found us.

Not at all — and this is a concern we hear from new patients more than almost anything else. Life gets in the way, and dental anxiety, cost, or simply not finding the right practice can all create long gaps in care. Our team's approach is genuinely judgment-free. We'll assess where things stand, explain what we find in plain language, and give you a realistic plan that addresses your most pressing needs without overwhelming you. You're not behind — you're here, and that's what matters.

We do offer an in-house dental membership plan for patients who don't have traditional insurance or who want to supplement their existing coverage. If you're interested in learning about what's currently included and the associated costs, please call us at 480-795-2420 or visit westbelldentalcare.com — our team can walk you through the details and help you determine whether it's a good fit for your situation.

Yes — we offer financing options to help patients manage the cost of larger treatments like implants, crowns, or smile makeovers. We work with third-party financing through options like CareCredit, which allows patients to spread payments over time. If cost has been a barrier to getting care you've been putting off, bring it up when you call — our team will be upfront about your options and help you find a path forward that works for your budget.
