Why It Matters

The Real Benefits Patients Notice

Immediate Pain Relief

Our first goal is to stop the pain. Local anaesthetic, antibiotics if needed, and definitive treatment same-visit.

Save the Tooth If Possible

A knocked-out tooth replanted within 30 minutes has a 90%+ success rate. Call us immediately.

Stop the Spread

Untreated dental infections can spread to your jaw or bloodstream. Same-day care prevents this.

7-Day Availability

Pain doesn't take weekends off. We're open Saturday and Sunday, with evening hours on weekdays.

Call Us Immediately If You Have Any of These Symptoms

If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call anyway — we'll help you decide. We'd rather see you and rule it out than have you wait through unnecessary pain.

  • Severe toothache — especially throbbing or waking you at night
  • Knocked-out tooth (handle by crown, keep in milk, call immediately)
  • Cracked or broken tooth
  • Lost filling or crown
  • Swollen face or jaw (could indicate infection)
  • Persistent bleeding after a procedure
Frequently Asked

Common Questions About Dental Emergency

Severe pain, bleeding, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, lost crowns/fillings causing pain, and any facial swelling. When in doubt — call us. We'll help you decide.

Time is critical. Pick up the tooth by the crown (NOT the root), gently rinse if dirty, and either reinsert into the socket or store in milk. Call us immediately — replantation within 30 minutes has the best success.

ERs can manage pain and infection — but they rarely have a dentist on-site. They'll typically prescribe antibiotics and refer you to a dentist anyway. Call us first unless there's facial swelling threatening your airway.

Same as standard rates — we don't charge premiums for emergency visits. The exam is typically $90; treatment depends on what's needed and is quoted before we proceed.

Yes — emergency exams and necessary treatment are covered like any other dental visit. We bill directly.
