How to Choose a Dentist in Frisco, TX
10 Questions to Ask Before You Book
Frisco has dozens of dental offices, and online lists of the “right” dentist rarely tell you what matters for your family. The questions below help you compare any office in Frisco, Little Elm, The Colony or Prosper on the things that affect your care, your time and your budget. We’ve added how Highland Oak Dental answers each one so you can see where we fit.
1. Do they take my dental insurance, and are they in-network?
“We accept your insurance” and “we’re in-network” aren’t the same. In-network offices bill your plan’s negotiated fees, which usually lowers what you pay. Our answer: we’re in-network with most PPO dental plans and check your benefits before treatment. We don’t accept Medicaid, CHIP or HMO/DMO plans. See PPO insurance in Frisco.
2. What if I don’t have insurance?
Ask whether the office publishes its fees and has an in-house plan. Our answer: new patients without insurance can ask about our $99 new-patient special*, and our membership plans start at $29 a month.
3. Can they see me the same day for an emergency?
A cracked tooth or a swollen face can’t wait two weeks. Our answer: we offer same-day emergency appointments during office hours, plus after-hours availability by phone. See emergency dentist in Frisco.
4. Is the dentist a general dentist, and what is done in-house?
A general dentist cares for the whole family and often handles crowns, root canals, extractions and implants in one office, so you aren’t sent across town for each step. Our answer: Dr. Prakash Gadhiya is a general dentist (DDS, NYU College of Dentistry) who places and restores dental implants in our office and offers Invisalign, root canals and extractions.
5. Will they tell me what it costs before treatment?
Ask for a written estimate and whether fees are published. Our answer: we give a written estimate before any treatment, and we explain costs for implants, root canals, dentures and extractions.
6. What do recent reviews say?
Read the newest reviews on Google, not just the star rating, and look for comments about explanations, gentleness and wait times. Our patients’ reviews are on our reviews page and on Google.
7. Do they offer financing?
Monthly payments make larger treatment possible. Our answer: CareCredit and Cherry.
8. Is the office easy to get to, with hours that fit?
Our answer: we’re at 5444 FM 423 Ste 600, near FM 423 and Lebanon Rd, with parking out front. Hours are Mon & Wed 9–5, Tue & Thu 9–6 and Fri 9–1.
9. What technology do they use?
Digital X-rays, 3D cone beam CT and digital scanners can mean fewer retakes and no goopy impressions. See our technology.
10. Do they help nervous patients?
Ask about comfort options. See sedation dentistry.
