Restore Comfort Quickly With Emergency Dental Treatment

When a dental emergency strikes, we can handle a wide range of urgent issues quickly and effectively. If you have a damaged tooth, we can provide same-day crowns to restore strength and function in just one visit. For cavities or minor damage, tooth-colored fillings offer a natural, durable repair.

Severe tooth pain or infection may require root canal treatment to save your tooth and eliminate discomfort. In cases where a tooth can't be restored, your dentist can perform gentle extractions to protect your overall oral health.

Whatever your situation, we'll stop pain, prevent further damage, and restore your smile as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Access Prompt Care With Convenient Payment Solutions

Emergency dental treatment should be as stress-free as possible. That's why we accept all dental insurance PPO plans and will file your claim for you, saving you time and effort during an already stressful situation.

If you don't have insurance or your plan doesn't cover the full cost, we offer flexible financing options through several third parties. These allow you to break your treatment cost into manageable payments.

If you're seeking a payment alternative, our DDS Perks Membership provides discounts on emergency visits and other services, as well as savings on preventive care. This ensures you can get the care you need when you need it most.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies

What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling, or infections. These situations require prompt attention to relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, and protect your overall oral health.
Can you treat a dental emergency the same day?
Yes. Whenever possible, we provide same-day care to address your emergency quickly. Services may include same-day crowns, fillings, root canal treatment, or extractions depending on your needs.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Maintain regular dental checkups, practice good oral hygiene, and wear a mouthguard for sports. Addressing dental issues early reduces the risk of sudden pain or damage. Avoid chewing hard objects that can crack or break teeth.
