What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry focuses on treating urgent dental conditions that cause pain, risk infection, or compromise your health and comfort. This includes:

Toothaches and abscesses
Broken or knocked-out teeth
Chipped fillings or crowns
Swelling, bleeding, or trauma
Dislodged restorations or dentures

Whether the issue stems from an injury, infection, or a failing dental restoration, we’ll assess the situation and provide immediate care or a temporary solution to stabilize you.

How Do Dental Emergencies Work?

We prioritize emergency calls and often offer same-day appointments. When you arrive, we’ll perform a focused exam using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to identify the problem. Pain relief and infection control come first, followed by a plan to repair or restore the affected area.

Some emergencies may require procedures like tooth extractions, dental crowns, or oral surgery, which we can often handle in-house. Our team will explain every step and ensure you feel safe and supported throughout your visit.

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth can’t be saved due to severe decay, fracture, or infection, we provide prompt, gentle extractions to relieve pain and stop the spread of infection. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll review replacement options.

Dental Crowns

Cracked, broken, or sensitive tooth? We can re-cement a loose crown, stabilize fractures, and place a protective temporary or begin a new crown to restore function and comfort quickly.

Oral Sugery

For urgent problems like abscesses, facial swelling, or impacted teeth, we offer in-house surgical care—incision and drainage, surgical extractions, and related procedures—to control infection and get you out of pain fast.

Real Patient Testimonials

"Dr. Khuu is amazing. He has gone above and beyond while I've been under his care. He's very thorough, caring, informative and skilled at his job. His facility is extremely clean, organized, and state of the art. My regular dental office couldn't perform the complicated tooth extraction I needed done so I was sent here and he was able to do it. I highly recommend him."
