Akron, OH Dentists | 133 Ranked

Ellet and Arlington dental trips within the 44312 area

Offices with Akron ZIP 44312 addresses are found around Ellet, Canton Road and South Arlington. Those locations can fit different parts of your day. The Akron dental comparison guide pairs a workable route with the proposed care and full bill.

West Market Street and Sand Run offer other choices across the city. Wilbeth Road and Waterloo Road serve more southern trips. For repeated treatment, the place you can return to matters alongside the first exam.

Reduced dental fees through Summit County Public Health

Summit County Public Health offers income-adjusted dental fees for people with no insurance or limited coverage. Call the dental team at 330-812-3816 for its clinic at 1867 West Market Street. People of all ages can use the service.

The clinic provides exams, cleaning and X-rays, with help reviewing insurance for further work. The fee application needs income proof for household members. Documents can include pay stubs, a tax return, a benefit letter or the clinic's support form.

Payment plans are available for dentures and partial dentures. The clinic accepts Medicaid and some private plans, but your exact plan determines coverage. Pain or swelling should be described when calling so the team can assess how quickly you need care.

Basic dental treatment on South Arlington Street

AxessPointe's Arlington site provides basic dental care at 1400 South Arlington Street, Suite 38. Its number is 330-724-5471. Exams, films, cleaning, fillings, tooth removal and children's prevention are part of its service.

For patients without insurance, its fee scale uses income and household size. The organization also offers free language help at its sites. That support can help a patient understand both the work and the fee before agreeing to care.

Crowns and dentures at HealthQuarters on West Market

AxessPointe lists advanced dental care at HealthQuarters, 527 West Market Street. The local number is 330-510-4747. Crowns, full and partial dentures, immediate dentures and mouth guards are included in that service.

This gives an Akron patient a different care route from the basic Arlington clinic. The treatment plan should identify which site will finish the work. A first exam and the final fitting can involve different visits.

Full dental treatment on Summa's Akron campus

Summa Health's Center for Dental Health provides fillings, root canals, crowns, dentures, implants and gum treatment. The outpatient dental office is at 75 Arch Street, Suite 303. Booking is through 330-375-6262.

Dentists train at Summa after dental school and provide this care. The center offers sedation for adults with special healthcare needs. An on-call dentist can advise on dental emergencies.

Summa takes most private and government-funded dental plans. Your plan and proposed work still need a coverage review. A treatment quote will show which costs are yours.

Low-cost dental hygiene near Akron at Stark State

Stark State College's clinic charges $10 for its cleaning care for ages 11 through 59. The price is $6 for ages 5 through 10, $8 for people age 60 or older, and free for veterans. The clinic is at 6200 Frank Avenue NW in North Canton; call 330-305-6610.

The care includes an exam, cleaning and needed X-rays, fluoride or appliance care. Screening is free and takes about 45 minutes. Students treat suitable patients in 3-hour sessions, with return visits often needed.

Payment is by cash or check at the visit, with no insurance billing. Tooth repairs and emergencies need a dentist outside the hygiene clinic. The travel and time commitment are part of weighing that lower fee.

What Ohio Medicaid covers for Akron adults

Ohio Medicaid can help an eligible adult fix teeth or get dentures. It covers fillings, root canals, tooth removal and crowns under its rules. Dentures and partial plates need approval before care starts.

The state's general benefit allows routine cleaning every 365 days for adults and every 180 days under age 21. Pregnancy and other qualifying groups have added rules. A managed-care plan can offer more: Molina's Ohio Medicaid handbook lists a cleaning and exam every 6 months for all ages.

The dental office must take the specific plan you use. For some adult visits the state lists a possible $3 copay, with exemptions. The plan's member team can explain its costs and any approval required for the work proposed.

Denture and implant bills for Akron-area patients

A tooth-replacement price needs to cover the teeth you will use, not just their first fitting. Removing teeth, temporary teeth, adjustments and repairs can change the total. The implant care plan also needs to identify surgery and the final teeth.

Medicaid approval for a denture does not establish coverage for every implant option. A written estimate should separate the plan's payment from your own bill. Knowing the full charge helps you compare the work each dentist proposes.

Dental care for Akron children with more involved needs

Akron Children's Celeste Myers Dental Clinic treats children up to age 14, including children with special healthcare needs. It is in the Kay Jewelers Pavilion at 177 West Exchange Street, Suite 31250. The dental number is 330-543-0070.

New patients need a referral from a provider to enter this service. A family dentist can help explain why the child needs that care. The referral gives the hospital team a starting point for the child's visit.

Routine children's dental visits can also take place at community or private offices. For braces, Ohio Medicaid requires an approved qualifying case under age 21. The bite assessment and a plan for ongoing checks come before treatment.

Urgent tooth pain and Akron's medical emergency entrance

A painful tooth needs dental assessment to decide whether it can be repaired or must be removed. Summit County's dental clinic can assess urgent pain or swelling by phone. The urgent dental treatment then depends on the diagnosis, not the pain alone.

Severe swelling that affects breathing or bleeding that won't stop needs 911. Summa's Akron emergency department is at 151 North Forge Street. That entrance is for medical emergencies; the outpatient dental center has its own appointment route.

METRO fares for repeated Akron dental visits

Akron METRO charges $1.25 for a regular ride and $2.50 for a regular day pass. Eligible riders age 62 and older or with disabilities pay 50 cents per ride with accepted proof. Regular passes exclude Northcoast Express and SCAT.

A course of gum care, braces or new teeth can involve several trips. A bus plan should fit the whole visit, including the way home. The North Canton college clinic is outside Akron, so that longer journey needs its own plan.
