Book AppointmentWhat Is An Emergency Dentist?
Emergency dental care addresses urgent oral health problems that require immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a damaged tooth. Common emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and injuries to the mouth or jaw. Dr. Kim evaluates your condition quickly, explains your options clearly, and provides the treatment you need to get out of pain and back to your life.
The Benefits of Seeing An Emergency Dentist
Seeking prompt care when problems arise protects both your comfort and your long-term oral health.
Fast Pain Relief
Emergency treatment targets the source of your discomfort, providing relief when you need it most.
Prevents Further Damage
Addressing injuries and infections quickly stops small problems from becoming bigger, more costly ones.
Saves Teeth
Rapid response to trauma like knocked-out or fractured teeth gives you the best chance of preserving your natural smile.
Our Emergency Dentist Process
Prompt Evaluation
Dr. Kim assesses your condition, takes any necessary X-rays, and determines the extent of the problem so treatment can begin right away.
Immediate Relief
Whether you need medication for pain and infection, a temporary restoration, or definitive treatment, we prioritize getting you comfortable.
Follow-Up Planning
Once your emergency is stabilized, we discuss any additional care you may need and schedule follow-up visits to complete your treatment.
Do I Need An Emergency Dentist?
You should seek emergency care if you experience a severe toothache that does not respond to over-the-counter pain relievers, a tooth that has been knocked out or loosened by trauma, a cracked or broken tooth, swelling in your face or gums, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost filling or crown that leaves your tooth exposed and painful. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, contact our office and we will help you determine the best course of action. Delaying care can lead to worsening pain, spreading infection, or permanent tooth loss.

Here are answers to some common questions about emergency dental care.
Don’t see your question? Give us a call.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently if dirty, but do not scrub. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Contact our office immediately—the sooner you receive care, the better the chance of saving your tooth.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
Our emergency exam is available for $99, which includes evaluation and X-rays to diagnose your problem. Additional treatment costs vary depending on what is needed, and we offer payment plans through Cherry to help manage expenses.
Does insurance cover emergency dental care?
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover emergency exams and necessary treatments like fillings, extractions, or root canals. We accept major PPO plans and can help you understand your coverage when you arrive.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
We do our best to accommodate dental emergencies as quickly as possible. Call our office and let us know the nature of your emergency, and we will work to get you seen promptly during our regular hours.
