Frequently Asked Questions
What follow-up care might be needed after an emergency visit?
Follow-up care varies depending on your treatment. It may include additional visits for permanent restorations or monitoring your healing progress to ensure full recovery.
How long will my emergency appointment take?
The length of your emergency appointment depends on the nature of your issue. We aim to address your emergency as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive the quality care you need.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency procedures. Our team will assist you in verifying your insurance benefits and will help explain any out-of-pocket costs for your treatment.
What if I have a dental emergency after hours?
If you experience a dental emergency after hours, contact our office for guidance. We offer extended hours during the week and Saturday appointments to accommodate urgent dental needs.
Do you provide sedation for emergency procedures?
Yes, we offer several sedation options to ensure you’re comfortable during emergency treatment. These include laughing gas and local anesthesia, tailored to your comfort level.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
If a tooth is knocked out, it’s important to keep the tooth moist—place it in milk or hold it in your mouth between your cheek and gums. Contact us immediately. If treated within an hour, there’s a higher chance of saving the tooth.
How can I manage dental pain until my appointment?
To manage pain until your appointment, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain medications as directed. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the affected area, as it can cause tissue damage.
What payment options are available for emergency care?
We offer multiple payment methods, including cash, checks, and financing options through Repeat MD, MACU Financing, and Sunbit Financing. We also work with most major insurance providers to help make emergency care as affordable as possible.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes! We prioritize urgent dental needs and reserve emergency appointment slots each day, allowing us to often see patients the same day for quick relief and treatment.
What constitutes a dental emergency?
A dental emergency usually involves severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma to your teeth or mouth that requires immediate attention. Prompt care is necessary to avoid complications or permanent damage to your teeth and gums.
