Emergency Dentist in Montpelier: We’ll Find You an Opening
A dental emergency does not wait for a good time. A tooth chips at dinner, an ache keeps you up all night, a foul ball catches you in the mouth at practice. Call us: we’ll find you the soonest opening we have, and you do not need to already be a patient here to get seen.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency
A dental emergency is any sudden problem involving real pain, bleeding, swelling, or a tooth that’s broken, loose, or knocked out. Emergency dentistry, or urgent dental care, also covers the smaller things. They turn into bigger problems fast: a lost crown, a fallen-out filling, a sharp broken edge cutting your tongue. If you’re asking yourself whether it’s bad enough to call, that question alone is usually reason enough.
When you call with a dental emergency, we’ll find you the soonest opening we have. Then we keep you comfortable and walk you through your options honestly, from a same-visit fix to a longer plan if the tooth needs more.
You Don’t Need an Appointment History With Us
New and existing patients: if you’re in pain or dealing with an injury, call and we’ll find you the soonest opening we have.
This also covers people without a regular dentist right now. A dental emergency is a fine reason to walk through our doors for the first time. And you can decide about ongoing care later, at your own pace, with no pressure either way.
Knocked a tooth out? Handle it by the crown, not the root, rinse gently, and keep it in milk or held in your cheek, then call right away. Getting to us quickly gives the tooth its best chance.
What Happens When You Call
Call the office
A few quick questions, and we’ll find you the soonest opening we have.
Exam and imaging
An X-ray and a hands-on look tell us exactly what’s happening.
Comfort first
Local anesthesia, with nitrous oxide or oral sedation available, before we ever talk treatment.
A clear plan
What needs to happen today, what can wait, and what your longer-term options are: what you need, and just as often, what you don’t.
Aftercare
Clear guidance for healing at home, plus a follow-up if one’s needed.
Handled Start to Finish, Right Here
Dr. Bhangra, Dr. Arafa, and the team around them handle most emergencies start to finish, right here: extraction, root canal, a same-visit temporary crown, whatever the tooth needs. You’re not handed a referral and sent across town mid-pain.
We’re also honest about what’s actually urgent: if something can wait for a regular appointment, we’ll tell you that too, instead of treating you into something you don’t need. Everyone’s welcome here, for every age, every visit.

Pricing Before Treatment, Not After
Emergency treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we don’t quote a flat price over the phone: what you need depends on what we find in the exam. We’ll go over pricing clearly before any treatment starts, so there’s no surprise waiting for you after.
We work with Medicaid and most major insurance plans, and our team checks your specific coverage before you’re ever billed.
Emergency Questions
Severe or sudden tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, facial swelling, a lost crown or filling, or any injury to your mouth. Not sure? Call. We’d rather check than have you wait it out.
