Emergency Dental FAQs

• What qualifies as a dental emergency?

  A dental emergency includes any issue causing significant pain, bleeding, swelling, or risk of infection. Common examples are severe toothaches, broken or cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental abscesses. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call—our team can quickly help determine if you need to be seen right away.

• Can you see me the same day?

  Yes! Whenever possible, we offer same-day emergency appointments to get you out of pain fast. We prioritize emergency cases and do our best to fit you in as quickly as possible, often the same day you call.

• What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?

  Time is critical. Gently rinse the tooth (do not scrub it), and if possible, place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and call us immediately. The sooner you get to our office, the better the chances of saving the tooth.

• Will you treat me if I don’t have insurance?

  Absolutely. We accept all PPO insurance plans and Medicaid, but if you don’t have insurance, we offer flexible payment options to make emergency care accessible. Our priority is getting you out of pain—not delaying treatment.

• How much does an emergency visit cost?

  The cost depends on your specific situation and the treatment needed. We start with an emergency exam to diagnose the issue and then clearly explain your options and costs before proceeding. There are no surprises, just transparent, patient-focused care.
