Our dental team prioritizes comfort and reassurance as we gather details about your symptoms and health history. Next, X-rays or an exam help identify the root cause. Once diagnosed, your dentist explains treatment options clearly, focusing on immediate relief and long-term care. Depending on the issue, same-day treatment may be provided. From start to finish, the process is efficient, compassionate, and designed to restore your comfort, confidence, and smile as quickly as possible.

Emergency Aftercare
After an emergency dental visit, proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth healing process and optimal comfort. Please follow our team’s instructions carefully, which may include taking prescribed medications, using ice packs to reduce swelling, and avoiding hard or sticky foods for a few days. Maintaining a clean area through gentle rinsing and good oral hygiene helps prevent infections. It’s normal to experience some tenderness or minor bleeding, but symptoms should gradually improve. If pain, swelling, or discomfort worsens, please contact us promptly.
