Dentcare Now is open 7 days a week, Monday – Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including weekdays, weekends, evenings, and holidays! We can generally see you same day to treat your dental emergency!

Swelling often indicates an infection, and it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. Untreated infections in the mouth can lead to long-term health issues.

If your tooth is broken, chipped, or fractured, it’s important to call Dentcare Now at (703) 520-9985 as soon as possible. The inner part of the tooth can be exposed to outside elements, which may lead to further damage, infection, or even tooth loss.
To protect the tooth while you wait for your appointment, you can place a piece of sugar-free gum over the damaged area. The treatment will depend on the extent of the damage. If only a small piece of enamel is affected, it can often be repaired in one visit. However, a severely damaged tooth may require a more extensive procedure or even extraction.
Here at Dentcare Now, we will gladly accept all PPO insurance plans and try to help maximize your reimbursements by filing claims on your behalf. If you have insurance, we will help you determine the coverage you have available. In order to best assist you, it is important that you submit your dental and/or medical insurance information to us with your New Patient Paperwork a minimum of 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. This allows us time to contact your insurance company and obtain a breakdown of the full benefits. During your visit, we will go over your treatment plan and give you an estimate of what your insurance will pay but this is not a guarantee of payment. We can also discuss payment options for financing through our third-party partners. The remaining balance(s) after insurance payment is the patient’s responsibility, so we thank you in advance for promptly meeting your obligations. After sixty days, if our office has not received payment from the patient’s insurance company, the insurance balance will then become the patient’s responsibility. We accept most major credit cards, cash, and money orders. We do not accept personal checks.
