"Dr. López is awesome. So caring and gentle. He takes the time to make sure you understand what he is doing and he makes sure you don’t feel the pain. His staff is gentle kind and caring. Someone always calls the next day just to check on you."
"Dr. López and the staff here are wonderful. They take very good care of you and make sure that every visit is comfortable and pain free. I highly recommend. I’ve been going here for 5 years now and have never regretted setting up that first appointment. They are great!"

GET Involved with UsThe more you know about dentistry, the easier it is to get the best care for your smile. Our team is here to answer any questions you might have about your care; if there’s anything you want to know, all you have to do is give us a call! To help you take the first steps toward a healthier smile, below we’ve answered some of the questions that we’ve often gotten from our patients.
If you have a life-threatening dental injury such as a broken jawbone, you should call 911. Other dental emergencies, such as knocked-out teeth or chronic toothaches, aren’t as immediately dangerous but still require urgent care. Most hospitals and emergency rooms won’t be equipped to handle these types of dental problems, so it’s better to call a dentist instead. Our dental practice near you is proud to offer same-day emergency appointments, and we can give you first-aid advice over the phone if necessary.
You only have one natural smile, so of course, you want to find a trustworthy dentist to take care of it. But simply searching for a dentist near you in Google can give you far too many results to sift through. A good strategy is to focus on what’s important to you. Do you want a practice that accepts your insurance? Are you looking for a dentist with decades of experience? Do you want sedation options to help you stay calm during your visit? New Smile Dental: Gilberto Lopez, DDS offers all these features and more. If you’d like to get a feel for what our practice is really like, take a look at some of our patient reviews.
In the United States, the cost of dental checkups and cleanings averages between $200 and $350 without insurance. The exact price will vary depending on several factors, such as the cost of living where the practice is located. Bear in mind that many insurance plans offer 100% coverage for preventive checkups once you’ve met your deductible for the year.
If you’re having trouble paying for regular dental checkups, we can help! Our team offers financing through CareCredit, allowing you to pay in smaller, budget-friendly installments with little to no interest. Reach out if you’d like to learn more about this option and how you can apply.
Some issues, such as having a tooth knocked out, need to be taken care of right away. If you call our office and explain your situation, we can help you determine whether you need a same-day appointment and make the necessary arrangements for you. That way, you can find relief from your dental pain and have your smile repaired as quickly as possible before the issue has a chance to grow any worse.
