Patient Care During COVID-19 ( Urgent Care)

    

OUR URGENT CARE PROGRAM ( EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY)   

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our dental practice will be providing urgent and essential dental services to local residents in North Orange County.  As responsible healthcare providers, we aim to free the capacities of our local emergency rooms by implementing our new Dental Urgent Care System.  At this time, our nation is faced with a challenging shortage of hospital staff and supplies, with a majority of dental practices closed down until April 6, 2020 or later.

If you are a patient in need of temporary dental care, we are here to help. If you are a patient of another dental office, and they are not able to take care of your emergency, we are here to help. When the emergency treatment is completed, we will send a report back to your current dentist following your visit. 

No dental insurance coverage is required and we welcome all patients.   Ask us about our In-house Dental Advantage savings plan. 

Fees & Options For Urgent Care Visits

Option A

$160 per visit  ( includes necessary X-rays, consultation and temporary treatment if clinically feasible)

We accept cash, all major credit cards, Carecredit, and personal checks.

Options B

Purchase the Brea Family Dental Center Annual Dental Savings Plan ( recommended for those with no dental insurance coverage), and your first urgent care visit fees will be waived.
