Russian dentist in the USA with a checked state licence
How dental care is organised in the US
A general dentist is your first stop for checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns and most everyday problems. When a case needs deeper expertise, the general dentist refers you to a specialist. The American Dental Association recognises several specialties, and the ones newcomers meet most often are these.
- Orthodontist for braces and aligners
- Endodontist for root canal treatment
- Periodontist for gum disease and implants placed in the gum and bone
- Oral and maxillofacial surgeon for wisdom teeth and complex extractions
- Pediatric dentist for children
The first visit usually includes an exam, X-rays and a cleaning. After that the dentist gives you a written treatment plan with the procedures, their order and the estimated cost. Ask for this plan in writing before you agree to anything beyond the cleaning.
Dental insurance is separate from medical insurance
Many people are surprised that their health plan does not cover teeth. Dental coverage is usually a separate policy, through an employer or bought on its own, and it works differently from medical insurance.
- Preventive care such as exams and cleanings is often covered at a high share.
- Fillings and extractions are covered at a lower share, and crowns or implants at an even lower one.
- Most plans have an annual maximum, the most the plan pays in a year. After that you pay the rest.
- New plans often have waiting periods before major work is covered.
- In-network dentists charge the plan's agreed fees, so your share is lower.
Before major work, ask the office to send a pre-treatment estimate to your insurer. It shows what the plan expects to pay and what is left for you. If you have no dental insurance, ask about the self-pay price and payment plans, and consider a dental school clinic, where supervised students treat patients at lower fees.
How to check a dentist licence
Dentists are licensed by the dental board of each state. Every state board publishes a free license lookup on its official website. Search by name and confirm that the licence is active in your state and has no public disciplinary actions. If the dentist presents as a specialist, the board record or the dentist's credentials should show that specialty training.
On russians.io the verified badge is shown only after we check the licence number with the state dental board. You always see which profiles are checked and which are not.
How your request reaches dentists
Write one short request. Say what you need, such as a checkup, a toothache, a second opinion on a treatment plan or care for a child, add your city and your dental insurance if you have it, and mention whether evening or weekend times matter to you. The request goes to verified Russian-speaking dentists near you. You receive their replies in your inbox and in your dashboard, with availability and insurance details, and you decide whom to contact.
- Ask for a second opinion on a plan you already received
- Compare offices by insurance network and language
- Keep your contact details private until you reply
- Search and requests are free for people who relocate
For dental offices
If your team treats patients in Russian, list your office where those patients search. A profile costs 49 USD a month, or 24 USD a month billed yearly, and multi-location practices choose Pro or Business. You get requests from patients in your city, show the insurance plans you accept and earn the verified badge after the licence check. See the pricing and the for business page.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my treatment plan so expensive
US prices vary by city and office. Ask for a written plan with procedure codes, request a pre-treatment estimate from your insurer and, for large work, get a second opinion.
Can I use my insurance at any dentist
You can visit any dentist, but in-network offices charge lower agreed fees. Out-of-network care usually costs you more.
What happens in a dental emergency
Call your dentist first, since many offices keep time for urgent cases. For severe swelling, trouble breathing or injury, go to an emergency room.
Do you list dentists for children
Yes. Choose dentist in the search and mention that the patient is a child, and pediatric dentists will see your request.
What does verified mean for a dentist
We checked the licence with the state dental board and it was active. The badge does not rate the quality of treatment.
