What happens at an urgent visit?
We’ll listen to your concerns and examine the affected area. Your dentist may recommend X-rays if needed, then explain the findings, possible treatment, and next steps. Treatment needs and timing vary, so please don’t assume a procedure can be completed during the first appointment.
When the office is closed
Calls outside normal office hours go to voicemail. Leave your contact information, and our team will call back when the office reopens. Do not wait for a callback if you believe you have a medical emergency.
If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Questions before you call
Can a new patient be seen today?
We can usually see new emergency patients the same day during normal office hours, subject to availability. Call to check the schedule.
Can I request an urgent appointment online?
For urgent concerns, call the office rather than waiting for online availability. Our team can discuss the next available visit.
How much will an emergency visit cost?
Costs depend on the examination and any recommended treatment. Ask our team about fees and insurance when you call. We’ll discuss treatment recommendations and financial questions before proceeding.
