How We Treat Dental Emergencies

• Same-Day Emergency Appointment: You’ll need to call our office to let us know that a dental emergency has occurred. We’ll often be able to see you on the same day as your call; furthermore, our team can help you keep your symptoms from growing worse with personalized first-aid tips.
• Emergency Examination: During your emergency appointment, we’ll need to conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, which will likely include X-rays. We will need to figure out exactly what’s going on and determine the extent of the damage before we can get started on devising a solution.
• Review Findings: We’ll explain the results of our examination and let you know what the source of your dental emergency is. Then we will work with you to create a treatment plan. When recommending treatments, we’ll give you an estimate of the costs involved as well as the timeline.
• Get the Treatment You Need: Upon finding a treatment plan that you’re happy with, we can proceed with giving your smile the care that it needs. We’ll do all we can to stop your pain and restore your grin as quickly as possible!

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

There are many different types of dental emergencies, all of which can come in varying severities. Some take months to develop before causing noticeable discomfort, like a slow-moving dental infection, while others occur in the blink of an eye, like an injury related to a sporting accident. Below are several common dental emergencies that we can help with; call us immediately if any of the following issues happen to you!

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

While the cost of treating a dental emergency will always be different depending on a patient’s unique situation, one piece of advice is universal: you should seek out treatment as quickly as possible. By waiting, you only allow a problem to become worse, which means it will likely require more involved (i.e. expensive) treatment to fix. To minimize both the pain and cost associated with a dental emergency, your best bet is to contact us without delay.
