Still have questions?
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any condition causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to your teeth or gums. This can include infections, broken teeth, or trauma from accidents. If you’re unsure, give us a call — we’ll help you decide if immediate care is needed.
Can I be seen the same day?
Yes. We reserve time each day for dental emergencies and will do everything we can to see you as soon as possible.
Will I be treated by the same doctor?
Yes. Emergency appointments are handled by our in-house doctors. You’ll receive consistent care from a team that takes time to listen, explain, and follow through.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover emergency dental visits. While we are out-of-network with all providers, we accept most plans and file claims on your behalf. Our team will also advocate for your coverage if needed.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and call us immediately. Time is critical — ideally, you should be seen within an hour.
What if I’m nervous about dental treatment?
We specialize in caring for anxious patients. Our environment is calm, our team is empathetic, and we offer oral conscious sedation when appropriate.
How much will emergency treatment cost?
The cost depends on the type of treatment needed. We’ll provide an upfront estimate after your evaluation. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
