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

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, act immediately.

Do this in order:

01
Handle it by the crown (top), not the root.
02
Rinse it gently with water if dirty, but do not scrub.
03
Try to reinsert it into the socket if possible.
04
If you can't reinsert it, place it in a cup of milk or your own saliva.
05
Get to our office immediately.
Time is the most important factor in saving the tooth.

How Our Process Works

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

What to Expect

Priority

Same-Day Effort

We do our absolute best to squeeze emergency patients into the schedule on the same day they call.

Upfront Pricing

Emergency visits shouldn’t lead to financial stress. We explain insurance and costs clearly before starting.

Gentle Touch

We use effective local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.
