Our emergency dentistry treatments
Toothache treatment
Persistent tooth pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek emergency dental care. Toothaches may be caused by cavities, infections, cracked teeth, or gum problems.
During your visit, your dentist will examine the tooth and use digital imaging if needed to determine the source of the pain. Treatment may include a filling, crown, root canal therapy, or another procedure designed to relieve discomfort and restore the tooth.
Broken or chipped tooth repair
Teeth can become chipped or broken due to accidents, injuries, or biting down on hard foods. Depending on the severity of the damage, your dentist may recommend treatments such as bonding, a crown, or another restorative procedure. Repairing a damaged tooth quickly helps protect the tooth structure and prevent further damage.
Dental infection treatment
Dental infections can occur when bacteria reach the inner portion of the tooth. These infections may cause pain, swelling, or sensitivity and should be treated as soon as possible. Your dentist will evaluate the affected area and determine the appropriate treatment. This may include procedures such as root canal therapy or other treatments designed to eliminate infection and protect the tooth.
Emergency tooth extraction
In some cases, removing a severely damaged or infected tooth may be the best way to protect your oral health. Emergency extractions are performed when a tooth cannot be restored or when infection or damage threatens surrounding teeth. Our team focuses on making the procedure as comfortable as possible while helping relieve pain and prevent further complications.
Frequently asked questions
Below are answers to common questions about sedation dentistry.
Dental emergencies may include severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling or infection, or damage to dental restorations. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, contacting a dentist can help you determine the best next step.
If a tooth is knocked out, try to handle it carefully by the crown rather than the root. If possible, gently rinse the tooth and place it back into the socket or store it in milk until you can see a dentist. Seeking treatment quickly can improve the chances of saving the tooth.
Some dental issues may seem minor at first but can worsen quickly. If you are experiencing significant pain, swelling, or damage to a tooth, it is best to contact a dentist as soon as possible for evaluation.

Real patients. Real experiences. See what people are saying about their care with us.
Great, fun, and efficient office! People with cool names and great attitudes work there. They took me in for an emergency on a Friday and treated me like family. I highly recommend this office!
It had been very long since I’d been to the dentist so I went into this appointment with a lot of fear and anxiety. Every person I interacted with was so kind and understanding. The woman at the front desk helped me with my insurance, and even called to confirm my visit would be covered when I didn’t have the right insurance card with me. I felt very taken care of during my visit and they put my nerves at ease.
My first experience was positive! They accomplished more than I thought we would in that appointment & I feel confident in the treatment plan. I learned a few things about my particular dental structure that I was not aware of - leads me to think I will have better health in the long run.
Very professional and attentive staff. Scheduling is simple; appointments are on time. The hygienist and dentist have been phenomenal! Highly recommended.
Honestly, I am not a gusher with my compliments so when I say, this was THE BEST dental experience I have ever had in my 64 years of life, you can take it as truth! Plus, the office was able to schedule me on the same day I called as a new client. Extra kudos!
The staff was incredibly friendly and upbeat. The office and exam areas looked clean and organized. Most importantly, they were able to get me in quickly and arranged follow up appointments within the coming weeks around my schedule so I didn't have to wait months or take days off.
