What Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat
Your situation might feel urgent, and it probably is. Below are common issues we handle daily:
If you’re unsure whether your issue counts as an emergency — err on the side of calling. We’ll guide you.
What to Expect When You Call / Arrive
1. Call Us Immediately (831) 920-6900
Let us know what’s happening — pain, swelling, broken piece, etc. We’ll prioritize your slot.
2. Quick Assessment & Exam
We’ll review your condition, take X-rays if needed, and explain what’s going on.
3. Immediate Relief
From pain-blocking options to temporary fixes, our first goal is to stop your pain.
4. Definitive Treatment Plan
We’ll propose the best course — extraction, root canal, crown, or other — and explain costs, risks, and timing.
5. Aftercare / Follow-Up
We’ll give you instructions and schedule any return visits for full recovery.
What You Can Do Before Coming In
To reduce discomfort and protect the area:
- Rinse gently with warm (not hot) water
- Apply a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to ease swelling
- Keep a knocked-out tooth moist in milk or your saliva (don’t scrub it)
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen or acetaminophen) as directed
- Avoid chewing on the injured side
These steps help but are not a substitute for professional care.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Delaying treatment can worsen pain, cause permanent damage, or lead to infection spreading to other tissues or even bone. A small crack today can become a lost tooth tomorrow. Rapid intervention helps preserve your health and finances in the long run.
Insurance, Payment & Walk-Ins
We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options for emergencies. While walk-ins are sometimes possible, we ask you to call ahead so we can prepare. Your comfort and prompt attention are our priorities.
