We encourage you to see a dentist for emergency care if you’re experiencing dental pain or injury. Dental pain can account for many oral issues, from cavities and tooth decay to dental abscesses.

Especially if you have an oral injury (trauma to the mouth), it’s important to seek a dentist and not an urgent care hospital. We have the knowledge, experience, and technology to treat your condition and give you the quality dental care you need! 

You may be wondering if your issue is actually a dental emergency. Not to worry! Just give us a call or send us a message, and a member of our team will advise you with accuracy and efficiency. But, as a general rule of thumb, cosmetic dental treatments and orthodontics are typically not emergency procedures.

Severe toothache

Persistent toothache

Dental abscess

Lost filling or crown

Painful or bleeding gums

A dental extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from your mouth. A dental extraction is most commonly required if one of your teeth is damaged beyond practical repair. The most common reasons for tooth extractions include:

Severe tooth decay or infection may make it impossible or too costly to repair a tooth.

Advanced gum disease may require a tooth to be pulled so it doesn't affect the supporting tissues and bone structures of your mouth.

A tooth may be extracted if it is blocking other teeth from coming in.

During orthodontic work, teeth may need to be removed to create room for the teeth that are being moved into place.

Wisdom teeth are often extracted either before or after they come in.

Eliminating your pain and protecting your smile is important to us. As a result, our same-day emergency services can help ease your pain quickly and start your smile on the road to recovery.

We are proud to offer a wide range of restorative procedures to help you regain your smile's natural glory. From denture to dental crown repair, we got you covered with services like:
