In Pain? We’ll Find You an Opening: Call Now

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 your child 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.

The basics

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. It also covers the smaller things that 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 move quickly to 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.

Who it’s for

You Don’t Need an Appointment History With Us

New patients, existing patients, kids, parents, grandparents: if you’re in pain or dealing with an injury, our team will get you in.

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.

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 accept Medicaid and work with 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.

As fast as we can. Call ahead and our team will find you the soonest opening we have.

Yes. New patients are welcome for emergency care, no established relationship required. You can decide about ongoing care once your pain is resolved.

Handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently if it’s dirty, and try placing it back in the socket if you can. Otherwise, keep it in milk or held in your cheek. Then call us right away: getting to us quickly gives the tooth its best chance.
