The benefits of emergency dentistry

Fast relief

We don’t want you to wait in pain. That’s why we leave space in our schedule for same-day treatments so you spend less time in pain and more time getting back to your day.

Protect your natural teeth

We want you to keep your smile healthy. Addressing your emergency promptly increases the chances of saving the injured or infected teeth, and allows us to make a prompt solution for what comes next.

You can count on our trusted, bilingual dental team to address your emergency in your preferred language. No misunderstandings or stress, we will understand the problem and get you out of pain.

How we can help

Toothaches & infections

Severe pain or swelling often signals infection. We use advanced imaging to identify the cause and offer treatment options like antibiotics, GentleWave® root canals, or extractions if needed.

Toothaches & infections

Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth

Accidents happen. We repair broken teeth with bonding, crowns, or other restorations to restore function and appearance.

Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth

Knocked-out teeth

Time is critical. If you bring in a tooth within the first hour, we can often save it. Our team acts fast to give you the best chance of success.

Knocked-out teeth

Lost crowns or fillings

A lost restoration can expose your tooth to pain and further damage. We provide same-day repairs or replacements to protect your smile.

Lost crowns or fillings

Wisdom tooth pain

Infected or impacted wisdom teeth can flare up suddenly. We evaluate and perform extractions if necessary, providing immediate relief and preventing future issues.
