Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, bleeding or swollen gums, broken or chipped teeth, loose crowns or fillings, and infections. If you’re in pain or discomfort, contact us immediately for assistance.

We are able to provide same day appointments in most cases, and one of our knowledgeable team members will walk you through at-home care over the phone. Contact us right away if you experience a dental emergency.

If you’re experiencing bleeding, rinse gently with warm salt water. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Avoid taking aspirin directly on the gums and contact us right away.

Usually, dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost. For example, your plan might include one emergency exam annually. It might also include 50% to 80% of the cost of essential restorative care, including dental crowns and root canal treatment. Since we’re in-network with several dental insurance plans, you can count on us to help you navigate the ins and outs of your coverage. We’ll do our very best to maximize your savings and make the process of utilizing your available benefits a breeze.

In the case of a dental emergency, the first step you should always take is to call our office to schedule an appointment for as soon as possible. Depending on the time you call, we’ll likely be able to fit you into our schedule the same day, ensuring that you won’t have to sit in pain for any longer than necessary.

Once you arrive, our team will assess the damage to your smile and ask you about your symptoms. If necessary, we may take digital X-rays or a scan of your facial structure with our cone beam CT scanner. These diagnostic images will provide us with greater insight into any underlying causes for your discomfort. After our examination, the doctor will discuss their findings with you as well as their treatment recommendations. After any questions you have are answered and you consent to moving forward with treatment, our team will start restoring your smile!
