We do our best to see emergency patients as quickly as possible, including same-day care when scheduling allows.
Dental problems can happen unexpectedly and can be uncomfortable and stressful, especially when you are not sure what to do next.
Our goal is to provide timely care and help you feel more at ease while we address the problem.
When to Seek Emergency Care
If you are in pain or something does not feel right, it is best to have it evaluated.
Common dental emergencies may include:
Tooth pain or sensitivity that does not go away
A broken or chipped tooth
A lost filling or crown
Swelling in the gums or face
Signs of infection
Injury to the teeth or mouth
If you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a sudden dental concern, contact our office as soon as possible.
Prompt evaluation can help determine the cause of the problem and whether treatment is needed.
If a tooth has been injured or knocked out, or if you are experiencing significant swelling or signs of infection, seeking prompt professional evaluation is important.
If you are unsure whether your situation may be urgent, we are happy to help guide you.
What to Expect During an Emergency Visit
When you come in for an emergency visit, we will first focus on understanding what is causing the problem.
From there, we will explain what we are seeing, walk you through your options, and in many cases provide relief or begin treatment the same day.
Our approach is always to stabilize the situation first, then create a plan for any additional care that may be needed.
Our Approach to Emergency Care

We take time to explain everything clearly so you know what to expect and can make informed decisions.
