Emergency Services We Treat
We handle all dental emergencies with urgency and care. Same-day appointments available.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical when a tooth is knocked out. We provide urgent care to save your tooth if possible. Keep the tooth moist and get to us immediately for the best chance of reimplantation.
Severe Toothache
Intense tooth pain can be debilitating. We'll quickly diagnose the cause - whether it's decay, infection, or damage - and work to relieve your pain as quickly as possible so you can get back to your life.
Broken/Chipped Tooth
Whether from an accident or biting something hard, a broken or chipped tooth needs prompt attention. We'll assess the damage and restore your tooth's function and appearance.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown exposes your tooth to sensitivity and further damage. We offer same-day solutions to protect your tooth and prevent complications.
Dental Abscess/Swelling
An abscess is a serious infection that requires immediate treatment. Swelling, pain, and fever are warning signs. We provide urgent care to drain the infection and relieve your pain.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Wisdom tooth issues can cause severe pain and swelling. We'll assess whether extraction is needed and provide pain relief to get you comfortable quickly.

Yes! We understand dental emergencies are unexpected. We offer flexible payment options including Afterpay to help spread the cost of treatment. Ask our team about interest-free options available to you.
If a tooth can't be saved
In some situations, saving the tooth isn't the best long-term option. When that happens, the focus shifts to replacing it properly so your bite and appearance aren't affected. Many patients choose dental implants as a more complete solution that restores both function and confidence. You can also explore dental crowns and bridges if more than one tooth is affected. New here? Visit our new patients page or see payment plans for cost details, and book your emergency appointment when you're ready.
