Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency evaluations whenever possible, for current and new patients.
If you are dealing with sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, a lost crown, or another urgent dental problem, call us. We make every effort to see emergencies as quickly as possible based on urgency and availability. Our goal is to get you comfortable, identify what is happening, and explain what needs attention now versus what can wait.

Clear Next Steps
What Happens Next
Emergency dentistry should feel clear and focused: understand what is happening, reduce the immediate problem, and make the next step easy to understand.
01
When you call, our team will ask a few quick questions about your symptoms, when they started, and whether you are experiencing swelling, trauma, fever, or severe pain so we can understand the urgency.
02
At the visit, we focus first on identifying the source of the problem. That may include an exam, appropriate imaging, bite evaluation, or other diagnostic steps depending on what you are experiencing.
03
Treatment depends on the cause and may involve stabilizing a broken tooth, addressing infection, replacing or securing a restoration, relieving bite-related pain, or coordinating additional care when needed.
04
Once the immediate concern is under control, we explain what comes next, what can reasonably wait, and whether follow-up or definitive treatment is needed.

Every patient arrives with a different story. Here are a few experiences related to this area of care.

Emergency Dentistry Questions
Dental emergencies are stressful. Here are a few quick answers about what may need urgent attention and what to expect when you call.
We make every effort to see emergency patients as quickly as possible based on urgency.
Severe pain, swelling, infection, trauma, broken teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, lost restorations, or sudden functional problems may require prompt attention.

That depends on the problem. Some emergencies can be treated immediately, while others may require stabilization, imaging, specialist collaboration, or follow-up planning.
Yes. Heavy clenching or grinding can put extra force on teeth and restorations, contributing to wear, cracks, or fractures.
