Before you book
Five-minute checklist before you call
Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.
Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost
- “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
- “Are you accepting new Pennsylvania Medical Assistance patients right now?”
- “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
- “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”
Verify the dentist & availability
- “Is Brian S Thomas the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
- “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
- “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”
Verify the license yourself
Search the Pennsylvania State Board of Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Pennsylvania State Board of Dentistry site →
Match office services to your needs
- “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
- “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
- “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
- “Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?”
- “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”

About dentist (other)s
What is a dentist (other)?
A dentist whose NPPES record does not specify a sub-specialty. Most providers in this category practice as general dentists; some are specialists who simply registered under the broader category. Always confirm scope of practice with the office.
Training. Four years of dental school after a bachelor's degree, ending with a DDS or DMD. Some have completed additional residencies that aren't reflected in their primary NPPES taxonomy.
