What is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry treats urgent conditions requiring immediate attention to alleviate patient discomfort and prevent complications. Common emergencies include: severe tooth pain, fractured or broken tooth, swelling, bleeding gums, loose tooth, or a tooth that has been knocked out. Many patients seek emergency dental service because they experience symptoms rapidly, making their normal daily activities next to impossible.

What Your Visit Looks Like
- Your consultation will begin with a focused discussion regarding the onset of your symptoms and the pain you are experiencing.
- Next, your dentist will examine the affected area and take digital x-rays to aid in identifying and treating the cause of your pain.
- Then your recommended treatment plan. Our dentist will explain any treatment necessary for immediate relief, pain management, and subsequent repair and/or follow-up treatment.
- If possible, treatment will be initiated during your appointment to temporarily stabilize the tooth or provide comfort to the affected area.
- Prior to leaving the office, you will be provided with aftercare instructions so you will understand what you should be doing at home and when you should return to the office for additional treatment.
The Cost of Emergency Dental Care
Costs for emergency dental care depend on the initial examination, x-ray(s), and any treatment required to address the problem that day. Many insurance plans cover emergency examinations and medically necessary treatments. Our staff will review your insurance plan and estimate any costs prior to providing your care.
