What to Do Before You Arrive
If you’re having a dental emergency, call us as soon as possible. In the meantime:

What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
We approach emergency dental care with the same holistic mindset as every service we offer. Our team focuses on gentle, effective treatments that support your body’s natural healing, using biocompatible materials, ozone therapy, and a calm, judgment-free environment.
Quick Relief
As soon as you arrive, we’ll focus on helping you feel better. You’ll get a gentle evaluation, and we’ll provide fast pain relief so you can begin to relax while we assess the issue.
Clear Imaging
We use low-radiation digital X-rays and high-resolution intraoral cameras to get a detailed view of your teeth and gums. This allows us to pinpoint the problem quickly and recommend the most effective treatment.
Personalized Care
After reviewing the images and exam, we’ll walk you through what’s going on and explain your treatment options clearly. Most procedures, like repairs, fillings, or infection treatment, can be done the same day. We work with your preferences and comfort level to find the best next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes anything that causes severe pain, bleeding, or injury to your teeth or gums. This can include a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, a dental abscess, or a sharp, persistent toothache. If something feels urgent or uncomfortable, give us a call—we're here to help.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. We reserve time each day for dental emergencies and will do everything we can to see you the same day during business hours.
What payment options are available for emergency dental care?
We accept major credit cards, debit cards, cash, CareCredit, and personal checks. We also work with most PPO insurance plans and will help you understand your benefits.
How can I manage dental pain until I can see the dentist?
Rinse gently with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and avoid eating on the affected side. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help, but avoid putting aspirin directly on the gums.
Are your emergency dental treatments holistic?
Yes. We focus on preserving your natural tooth structure, using biocompatible materials and supporting healing with natural methods whenever possible, including ozone therapy and gentle techniques.
Do you treat children’s dental emergencies?
We do. Our team is experienced in working with kids and offers a calm, supportive environment for young patients in need of urgent care.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Pick up the tooth by the top (crown), not the root. Gently rinse it, and if possible, place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or your saliva and call us right away. Time is critical—ideally, you should be seen within an hour.
Is sedation available during emergency procedures?
Yes. We offer several comfort options, including local anesthesia, laughing gas, and oral sedation, so you can feel at ease during your visit.
What technology do you use for emergency dental care?
We use advanced digital tools like CBCT imaging, intraoral cameras, and the Medit i900 scanner. These help us diagnose problems quickly and plan precise, efficient treatment.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Regular checkups, good home care, and wearing a mouthguard during sports can reduce your risk. Avoid biting into very hard foods or ice, and contact us early if something doesn’t feel right.
