Emergency Dental Care

Our regular patients typically do not have dental emergencies but occasionally a tooth with a large filling could fracture, a denture can be dropped or teeth can be damaged accidentally. It is important to have the problem evaluated as soon as possible to keep a bad situation from getting worse. We treat dental emergencies almost every day and we like to make appointments immediately.

We know that many dental emergencies happen because people are afraid to go to the dentist. They wait until they have pain. We help you overcome your fear of dental treatment. Our gentle compassionate dental care turns the frightened patients into happy people with beautiful smiles. If your emergency involves extensive oral surgery we will give you the doctor’s cell phone number so you can contact him with your concerns after hours.

Cosmetic Emergencies


What do you do if your cap or veneer breaks the day before your wedding? The best thing you can do is call our office because we can make a new veneer or a permanent crown in about 1 hour. We can even do most denture repairs in less than an hour and we can usually replace a missing tooth the same day.

What you can expect the day of your appointment


First tell us what the dental emergency is. Then we would like to hear about your past experiences with dental treatment and what you liked and did not like. Usually a dental x-ray is taken when we evaluate the problem. We may also visually check your teeth to determine the exact source of the pain. Once we determine the problem we will present you with all the options modern dentistry has to offer. We will answer all your questions and give you our recommendations. Once you have all the information you can decide what is best for you.
