Folsom, CA Dentists | 121 Ranked

What does a year of checkups cost at Folsom offices?

Folsom has offices with posted annual fees for routine care, so you can compare what each fee includes before joining. A year's cleanings and exams give you a starting point. Fillings, crowns and gum treatment can add to the bill. The Folsom dentist comparison looks at how treatment, travel and payment fit together.

The Folsom Dentist at 785 Hana Way, Suite 201, posts $487 a year for ages 13 and older and $387 for younger children. Its plan includes 2 exams, 2 cleanings and annual X-rays, with 10% off most restorative and cosmetic work. These are that office's fees, not an estimate for the city.

At the same street address in Suite 103, Folsom Dental Esthetics posts a $475 standard annual plan. It includes 2 routine exams and cleanings, fluoride and checkup X-rays. For gum maintenance, the office bundles 3 visits into a $659 annual plan. The type of cleaning your gums need matters when comparing gum-care options and plan prices.

Lower-cost hygiene care beyond Folsom

Sacramento City College provides student dental hygiene care at 3835 Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento. Its adult hygiene fee starts at $25, with $10 charged for each further cleaning visit. Visits take 2 to 3 hours, and a free screening checks whether your needs fit the teaching program. The clinic line is 916-558-2303.

The college considers fee waivers for seniors, veterans and people with financial hardship. A long teaching visit can mean extra time off work or child care. Fillings and extractions require an appointment for that treatment.

Why your Medi-Cal dental plan matters in Folsom

Folsom is in Sacramento County, where Medi-Cal dental managed care enrollment is required with limited exceptions. The dental plan's network determines which offices you can use for covered care. An office accepting Medi-Cal generally may still need to confirm your specific dental plan. Your plan's name is useful at the first call, along with the reason for the visit.

DHCS says dental managed care covers the same services as the fee-for-service dental program. A move between counties can change how you find a participating dentist. That is relevant when comparing an office in Folsom with a choice in El Dorado Hills, across the county line.

Starting children's care along Creekside and Blue Ravine

Dimples Pediatric Dentistry at 1665 Creekside Drive, Suite 103, recommends the first dental visit by the first birthday. The visit checks the teeth and gums and gives parents guidance on care at home. X-rays depend on what the dentist needs to assess. This early visit can begin before a child can sit through an adult-style cleaning.

Lakeside's Blue Ravine Road listing provides another point of comparison for children's care in Folsom. Its first-visit guidance also includes a gentle oral exam and time for parents' concerns. A child's sleep, feeding habits and past reactions to dental care help shape that conversation.

For tooth alignment, Holt Orthodontics is at 1568 Creekside Drive, Suite 104. It offers metal and clear braces as well as aligners. A bite assessment helps the orthodontist explain which teeth need to move and how follow-up visits fit your schedule. The same questions matter when weighing clear-aligner treatment.

Planning care for a painful or missing tooth

15 Folsom dentists list emergency care. That identifies services to contact, without promising an open appointment. The location of pain, any swelling and when the problem began help the office assess your call. Trouble breathing or swallowing needs emergency medical attention.

Creekside Endodontics lists a Folsom office at 1635 Creekside Drive, Suite 103. Its payment policy calls for payment at treatment unless other arrangements were made. It files insurance claims, with the unpaid balance owed by the patient. A root-canal visit can therefore involve both the treatment bill and an insurance estimate.

Renaissance Family and Cosmetic Dentistry bases implant prices on the case's complexity and the number needed. Its sedation choices include nitrous oxide, oral medicine and IV sedation. Oral or IV sedation requires an adult to drive you home. Your medicines, health history and concerns about treatment belong in that discussion.

With a dental implant, the replacement tooth is part of a longer course of care. The proposed steps and any referral to an oral surgeon affect how many appointments you need. A written plan for implant treatment is useful when comparing offices that quote different parts of the work.

Matching return visits to a Folsom route

Folsom's dental addresses extend beyond East Bidwell. Croft Dental Care publishes 118 Natoma Street; Radi Dental is at 1004 Riley Street, Suite 5. The Broadstone Dental Group listing gives 100 Iron Point Circle, Suite 102. Iron Point Circle and Iron Point Road are different addresses, so the full address matters for the trip.

For care along East Bidwell, Sean Roth describes a family and cosmetic practice. Cosmetic goals can range from shade to the shape of a tooth; a consultation can set out the steps involved in cosmetic dental treatment. The number of return visits is worth weighing against a trip from Folsom Ranch, south of Highway 50.

SacRT's Gold Line reaches Historic Folsom. Some eastbound trains end at Sunrise, so the train's destination matters. Route 10 connects Historic Folsom and Iron Point stations; the final trip from a stop to the office still needs planning. This becomes especially important when an appointment needs an escort afterward.

For homes toward the west, Orangevale and Fair Oaks broaden the search. Rancho Cordova lies along the Highway 50 corridor, while Roseville adds choices north of Folsom. A trip into Sacramento may suit a teaching-clinic visit with a longer appointment.
