Here you’ll find several questions that are frequently asked by patients like you.
Rather than make you contact our office for general information, we’ve compiled these questions (and our
answers!) into a simple list. Of course, you’re always welcome to call, but if you prefer the convenience of a
written answer, please feel free to take a look!
What if I can't afford a dentist?
Dr. Lundgren knows what’s its like to feel self-conscious about your smile, but unable to afford quality
treatment. That’s why we offer multiple ways to save money at our practice. Here’s how we can help you
afford your dream smile in Wilmington:
- Dental Insurance. We’re a dental insurance-friendly office and accept many different
plans. Give us a call, and we’ll happily let you know whether we’re in-network with your provider. We
can also help you navigate your benefits to ensure you’re getting the most out of your premium.
- In-House Dental Membership Plan. If you don’t have dental insurance or won’t be
receiving much coverage, you may be interested in our membership plan. For a flat annual or monthly fee
(your choice!), you’ll receive two free checkups and cleanings, plus discounts on our various services.
- CareCredit Flexible Financing. Sometimes, affording dental care is more manageable when
you’re able to spread your payments out between paychecks. That’s exactly what a CareCredit plan will
help you do! For little-to-no interest, you can break your total costs down into smaller, monthly
chunks.
I have dental anxiety – is there a way you can help?
Certainly! Dr. Lundgren emphasizes comfortable, stress-free care, and we do whatever we can to help patients
feel more at ease in our office. We offer dental sedation for
patients with anxiety or who have difficulties relaxing during treatment. Please let us know you’re
interested in dental sedation ahead of time, and we’ll be happy to help you determine which of our options
is best for you!
If I want Invisalign or dentures, will I need "goopy" impressions?
Fortunately, the days of having to sit in the patient’s chair with a mouthful of "goopy" putty are over! At
Lundgren Dental, we have a digital impression system. Instead of waiting for uncomfortable molding
material to settle in your mouth, we’ll simply take extremely accurate pictures of your teeth with our iTero
scanner. As you can imagine, many of our patients strongly prefer this method!
How long will I have to wear Invisalign?
It will ultimately depend on the severity of your misalignment and how receptive your teeth are to movement.
However, on average, Invisalign does tend to be a faster orthodontic treatment than traditional braces.
Nowadays these clear aligners can also correct the vast majority of bite issues, so even those with jaw
misalignments can enjoy the speed, comfort, and convenience of Invisalign!
