FAQs
Straight answers to the questions that keep you up at night.
Yes, Queens Central Dental welcomes new patients, and you’re welcome to call with questions before you book anything. Tell us what’s bothering you, or what you’d like to change. We’ll answer what we can on the phone and set up a first visit with Dr. Ames.
We give you the soonest opening we have when you call, and urgent problems get fit into the day whenever the schedule allows. Calling early in the day leaves the most room to work with, since that’s when the schedule may be most open.
No, you don’t need to know what treatment you want before calling. Most people start with what bothers them, like a chipped tooth, a stain, or a gap. Dr. Ames looks at your teeth, explains the options that fit, and lets you decide without any pressure.
Our office handles dental emergencies like severe tooth pain, swelling, and broken teeth, so call as early as you can and tell us what happened. For trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads across your face, bleeding that won’t stop, or a facial injury, call 911 or go to the ER.
Yes, Dr. Ames sees patients in both English and Spanish. You can ask questions, talk through your options, and go over your treatment plan in whichever language feels easier. Just mention it when you call, so we know before your first visit.
