FAQs

At Lawson Family Dentistry, we file almost all dental insurances. If you have specific questions about coverage, please call our office at 843-248-3843. Our staff is happy to do a complimentary benefits check for you prior to your first appointment!

For patients who do not have dental insurance or are unhappy with what their current plan has to offer, Lawson Family Dentistry offers an in-office insurance plan to ensure that you are able to receive the dental care that you need at an affordable rate. Unlike traditional dental insurance policies that come with limitations, our Advanced Dental Plan (ADP) offers you limitless dental care. For full details please review the ADP offerings here.

We also offer Care Credit to our patients. CareCredit is a health care credit card designed with special financing that includes no teaser rates, application fees, or prepayment penalties. Care Credit offers financing to patients who are seeking dental procedures that they may not be able to pay in-full and up front.

We also accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

We pride ourselves on treating our patients like family! If you haven’t filled out new patient paperwork, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to do so before your appointment. Your initial appointment will include a meet and greet with the dentist and their assistant, appropriate radiographs, a comprehensive exam and an initial cleaning, if you wish. Depending on your treatment needs, we may bring you back for a no charge treatment consult appointment where we can go over your treatment options and answer any questions or concerns you may have. We hope your first appointment with us will be smooth and easy!

According to the American Association of Pediatric Dentists, it’s recommended that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday! Though this may seem very early, this visit is essential to ensure your child doesn’t have any signs of gum or tooth decay and that their teeth are erupting and developing properly. Your child may get their first tooth as early as six months!

  1. Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  2. Floss and/or use your waterpik daily.
  3. Visit your dentist routinely for a checkup and cleaning. Tell the dentist about any medical conditions you have and medications you take.
  4. Eat a well-balanced diet.
  5. Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for gum disease.
Between 50-80% of adults have dental anxiety, so you are not alone! We recommend sharing your fears and concerns with our staff. Once we know what your fears are, we will be better able to work with you to determine the best ways to make you less anxious and more comfortable. Our goal is to treat you just like family and make you feel at ease!

Depending on the procedure, we offer nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” to relax you before undergoing any dental work.
