How We Handle Dental Emergencies
- Call Our Team. The first step you should always take is to schedule an emergency dental appointment by calling our office. In most cases, Dr. Chris and Dr. Bob are able to treat emergencies in-house, minimizing your need for a referral and making us the perfect people to see in your time of need. We’ll provide you with over-the-phone first aid guidance and schedule an appointment for you as well.
- Come in to See Us. When you arrive at our office, our team will quickly take you back to one of our treatment rooms to get you settled in a chair. If necessary, we may also take X-rays. Dr. Chris or Dr. Bob will review your diagnostic images and conduct a thorough examination of your mouth. Based on your emergency dentist’s findings, we’ll create a treatment plan to help repair your smile and get your oral health back on the right track.

Get Treated. Our team will go over your treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. If we are able to complete it the same day, we will, but in some cases, we may need to schedule out a day or more later, especially if it’s a more extensive procedure. Our front desk staff will also provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on an insurance benefits check so you know how much you can expect to pay out-of-pocket.
Most Common Dental Emergencies
There are as many different types of dental emergencies as there are people, so the best rule-of-thumb to go by is to call us whenever you feel oral or dental pain or out-of-the-ordinary symptoms. Below, we’ve also included some of the most common situations that we treat at our office.
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
- Like playing sports? Great! Just make sure you keep your teeth protected by wearing a mouthguard every time.
- While chewing on ice or popcorn kernels might feel nice, it can wreak havoc on your teeth, causing them to crack and fracture. If you need something to chew on, sugarless gum is always the better choice!
-
Instead of potentially damaging your teeth by using them to open a package, go grab the scissors instead. Your smile will thank you!
Cost of Treating Dental Emergencies
There are many different types and severities of dental emergencies, which is why there is not a set price for urgent dental care. Our treatment recommendations will be based solely on what will get a patient out of pain the fastest. Once that is taken care of, we can then try to repair any damage to the teeth. For patients worried about paying for an unexpected expense, our dental office is happy to make things easier by accepting insurance and offering financing options.
