Our Dental Patients Love Us

“I cannot recommend White Clay Dental Associates strongly enough. The entire staff was extremely caring, understanding, and concerned. They treated my daughter as their own. Dr. Ganfield has gone above and beyond in his care for my daughter, creating prosthesis when needed, and devising ingenious methods of treatment. His gentle, reassuring manner went a long way towards keeping our family sane during this crisis.”

Mike B. Brookside, DE

“I have been a patient for about 17 years. Job changes, moves, insurance and no insurance have not kept me from changing. Absolutely love this place. Dr. Ganfield knows the anxiety I feel with just the thought of having to get a needle or work done and is very patient, calming and gentle.”

Susan S. Wilmington, DE

“I really like Dr. Bond and Dr. Ganfield. The office seems efficient, appointments are on time, and they are always friendly and helpful. I have been a customer here for over 30 years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our team is always happy to answer any questions you may have about dentistry! Below, we’ve provided helpful answers to a number of inquiries that we’ve often heard from our patients.

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

Choosing the right dentist depends on what traits matter the most to you. Maybe you care about finding a dental practice that offers a specific type of service, such as dentures in Newark or other options for replacing missing teeth. Or maybe you’re more concerned with finding a practice that you can get to easily from home or work. Before you start your search, you should write down exactly what it is you’re looking for in a new dentist.

How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?

Some dental issues are so urgent that they need to be looked at by a dental expert as soon as possible. At our practice, we offer same-day appointments for various kinds of dental emergencies, such as severe oral pain or damaged teeth. To schedule a same-day visit, all you have to do is give our office a call and explain what happened. Once we understand what’s going on, we’ll make whatever arrangements are needed to get you seen by one of our dental experts quickly.

During your same-day appointment, we’ll thoroughly examine your mouth in order to determine the cause of your emergency and assess how much damage has already been done. If you’re currently in pain, we’ll help you find relief. Then we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan to resolve the underlying issues and restore your oral health.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Tooth Pulled Without Insurance?

There isn’t a set-in-stone answer to this question. The average cost of a tooth extraction in the United States is in the range of $150 to $400, but the amount that you actually end up paying depends on several variables. The complexity of the extraction and the number of teeth being removed are just a couple of the factors that can have a significant influence on the final price tag. Our team can give you a more specific estimate once we’ve completed a thorough examination of your mouth.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?

There are multiple ways to make the cost of dental care more manageable. Naturally, our team will be more than happy to help you maximize any dental insurance benefits you may have. But if you’re uninsured, you can still enjoy quality dental services at our practice at a reduced cost by signing up for our dental membership plan. Alternatively, we can help you apply for CareCredit financing if you would rather pay for your care in installments instead of in a single lump sum.
