THE EMERGENCY DENTAL PROCESS

When you come in for an emergency dental appointment, our team will prioritize relieving your discomfort and stabilizing the issue. We begin with a quick assessment to determine the nature and severity of your emergency, followed by necessary diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, to get a clear picture of the problem. Once diagnosed, we’ll discuss treatment options with you and proceed with immediate care, whether it’s a filling, extraction, or infection management. Our goal is to address the urgent issue, prevent further complications, and create a plan for any follow-up care that might be needed.

HOW LONG WILL MY EMERGENCY DENTAL APPOINTMENT BE?

The length of your emergency dental appointment depends on the severity of your issue. For minor issues, like a chipped tooth, the appointment may take as little as 30 minutes to an hour. More complex cases, such as abscesses or extractions, may require additional time to ensure proper treatment. During your appointment, our team will work efficiently to resolve your dental issue while ensuring you receive the highest level of care.

HOW MUCH DOES AN EMERGENCY DENTAL VISIT COST?

The cost of an emergency dental visit can vary based on the nature of the issue and the treatment required. Simple treatments like fillings or temporary fixes may be more affordable, while procedures such as extractions or root canals will involve higher costs. Our team will provide a clear estimate after the initial examination, and we offer flexible payment options to ensure you get the care you need without unnecessary stress about expenses.

Common Questions

  • What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

    If you knock out a tooth, try to gently place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or a saline solution and seek emergency dental care immediately, as timely action increases the chances of saving the tooth.

  • Can I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?

    While ERs can help with pain management and infections, they generally do not have the resources for specific dental treatments. It's best to see an emergency dentist for comprehensive care.

  • How can I manage pain until I see an emergency dentist?

    Over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, and rinsing with salt water can help manage pain temporarily. However, these are temporary solutions, and you should seek professional care as soon as possible.

  • Will my dental insurance cover emergency dentistry?

    Coverage for emergency dental services varies by insurance provider. It’s advisable to check with your insurer about your specific plan, but many dental practices also offer financing options for emergency cases.
