Our Compassionate Care

Services for Every Smile
“Moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota a year ago and found Black Hills Area Dental and never in my life have I been so happy about the work the entire office provides. The attention to details is amazing along with the special care they give you to make sure you know you are in good hands. Everything is done with quality and focus. I lived all across our great country and this is by far the very best dental office. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!“
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about your dental care? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from our patients.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend scheduling a dental visit every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. These regular checkups help us catch any potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums in excellent shape. Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Samuelson may suggest more frequent visits to stay ahead of any concerns.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes, we work with most major dental insurance providers to help make your care more affordable. Our knowledgeable team is happy to verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage. If you have questions about your specific plan, don’t hesitate to give us a call—we’re here to help.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency—such as a broken tooth, severe toothache, or knocked-out tooth—call our office right away at (605) 348-4657. We prioritize emergency cases and will do everything we can to see you as soon as possible. In the meantime, managing pain with over-the-counter medication and avoiding chewing on the affected area can help until you’re seen by Dr. Samuelson. Prompt care can make all the difference in saving your tooth and relieving discomfort.
