Emergency Dentist
Don't Wait in Pain. We Are Here to Help.
Dental emergencies don’t stick to a schedule. We offer priority scheduling to get you out of pain and back to your life.
Fast, Compassionate Care
When you are in pain, you don’t need a lecture—you need a solution.
We understand that dental trauma can be scary. Our team is trained to handle emergencies with speed and compassion. We focus on stabilizing the issue, relieving your discomfort, and creating a plan to fix the root cause. We don’t do guilt trips; we just help you heal.
What Counts as an Emergency?
If you are hurting, it is an emergency to us. Call us immediately if you experience:
- Severe Toothache: Constant, throbbing pain that doesn’t go away.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Time is critical (see instructions below).
- Broken Tooth: Especially if it is sharp or sensitive to air.
- Swelling: An abscess needs immediate attention.
Not sure? Contact us anyway. We can triage your symptoms over the phone and tell you if you need to come in right away.
Critical Advice: What to Do
Do this in order:
How Our Process Works
Call us immediately
Don’t wait for the pain to “go away.” Call our office. If it is during business hours, we will do everything possible to work you into the schedule the same day.
The Exam
We will take a quick digital X-ray to see what is happening below the gumline and diagnose the source of the pain.
The solution
We discuss the cost and options before we start. Whether you need a simple filling, a crown, or a referral, you will leave with a clear path forward.
Why Trust Us?
Solutions, not just patches.
- No Judgment: We don’t care how long it has been since your last visit. We only care about fixing the problem.
- Biomimetic Care: If you broke a tooth, we repair it with strong, metal-free materials that restore its original strength.
- Anxiety-Free: We take the time to explain everything calmly, helping you feel in control even during a stressful situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take walk-ins?
To ensure we can see you quickly and have a room prepared, please call us before coming in. We offer priority scheduling for emergencies and will likely be able to fit you in, but calling ahead prevents you from waiting in the lobby.
What if I call after hours?
If our office is closed, please listen to our voicemail for instructions. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (such as severe swelling affecting your breathing or severe trauma), please go to the nearest Emergency Room immediately.
Will you pull the tooth?
Our goal is always to save your natural tooth whenever possible using conservative treatments. However, if the tooth is damaged beyond repair, we can perform an extraction to relieve your pain and discuss replacement options later.
