I came in not even sure what was wrong, just that something hurt. They took the time to figure it out and explained everything clearly. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. Easily the best dental experience I have had.

Common Questions About Dental Concerns

How do I know if my dental problem is an emergency?+
Severe or constant pain, swelling in the face or gums, bleeding that will not stop, a knocked-out tooth, or a fever along with mouth pain all call for same-day care. If you are unsure, call your nearest location and our team will help you decide how quickly you need to be seen.
Should I wait to see if a dental problem goes away on its own?+
Most dental problems do not heal on their own and tend to get worse and more costly the longer they wait. Even if pain fades, the underlying cause is often still there. Getting checked early usually means simpler, gentler, and more affordable treatment.
Do you offer same-day appointments for dental pain?+
Yes. We offer same-day appointments and walk-in availability for urgent concerns at all three locations in Mesquite, Garland, and Balch Springs. Call ahead so we can have a spot ready for you.
What insurance do you accept for treating dental conditions?+
Inspire Dental accepts Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO plans for both children and adults. We also offer flexible in-house payment plans and accept CareCredit, so cost does not stand between you and the care you need.
Can you treat both children and adults for these conditions?+
Yes. Inspire Dental & Orthodontics cares for the whole family, from a child’s first visit through adult and senior dental care. Our team is experienced with patients of every age.
I am not sure which condition matches my symptom. What should I do?+
That is completely normal, and you do not need a diagnosis before you call. Describe what you are feeling and our team will guide you. A dentist will examine the area and use X-rays when needed to find the exact cause. You can also read general symptom information from the American Dental Association at MouthHealthy.org.
