General Dentistry

When choosing a dentist, you want someone who provides all the services you need in one comfortable, convenient location. At Affordable Dental East, we want to be your partner in maintaining a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.

As a general dentist, Dr. Erik Lund provides all the services you need, including same-day dentistry when you have a toothache or other urgent dental need. We have created an upbeat, positive environment where there's no judgment—just great dental care tailored to your needs.

Dental Care That Fits Your Needs

The best dentistry isn’t "one-size-fits-all." Dr. Lund takes time to get to know your oral health history, lifestyle, and budget. You can be confident that we will provide honest, thoughtful recommendations and clear explanations to help you feel informed.

Benefits of Maintaining Your Oral Health

Finding a dental home where you feel good about caring for your smile offers many benefits, including:

Better Oral Health

Regular cleanings and exams help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other problems before they become painful or costly to treat. Consistent care keeps your teeth and gums healthy for life.

Fewer Emergencies

Preventive care catches minor issues early, reducing your risk of dental emergencies. Regular visits mean fewer toothaches, lost fillings, or other urgent problems that upset your schedule.

Lower Dental Costs

Routine dental checkups cost much less than major treatments. By investing in regular dental care now, you'll avoid more costly procedures like root canals, crowns, or tooth replacements later.

We'll Help You Understand Your Benefits

Our team knows that insurance benefits can be confusing. We'll check your specific plan to understand what's covered and what's not, then explain how your benefits apply to your proposed treatment.

Every insurance plan is different. Some cover preventive care like cleanings and exams at 100 percent, while others may require a copay. Major treatments like crowns or root canals typically have different coverage levels than routine care.

Getting Your Cost Estimate

We'll provide estimates whenever possible so you know what to expect before treatment begins. However, the final decision about coverage always rests with your insurance company. Sometimes, benefits change or claims get processed differently than expected.

What If You Don't Have Insurance?

Don't have dental insurance? We still want to help you get the care you need. We offer Cherry financing and in-house payment plans that let you spread treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.

Our goal is to make dental care accessible and affordable for everyone in our community, regardless of insurance status.

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays and Sensors

Digital x-rays use small electronic sensors instead of film to take pictures of your teeth. We commonly use this technology during routine exams as needed, emergency visits, and before most dental procedures. Digital x-rays are safer than film and expose you to 90 percent less radiation, and we can see the images immediately on a computer screen.
