Care matched to the problem
Emergency treatment is not always an extraction
After examining the affected area, your dentist will explain the appropriate treatment options. These may include a filling, treatment for infected gums, a crown to protect a damaged tooth, root canal treatment for an infected tooth, or removal when a tooth cannot be saved.
Questions about payment?
You can contact us about an emergency even if you do not have dental insurance. We accept many PPO plans; call to verify your specific coverage. Cherry and CareCredit financing are available, subject to approval and terms. Ask the team about estimated costs.

Questions
Emergency dental care FAQ
What counts as a dental emergency?
A severe or persistent toothache, facial swelling, a broken or chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, or signs of an abscess like a pimple on the gum or a foul taste are all dental emergencies. If you are in significant pain, bleeding, or worried, call us right away — we are here to help.
Can you see me today?
Same-day urgent visits are offered when available. Call (915) 225-4477 to check today's schedule. An appointment is confirmed only after speaking with our team.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and gently rinse it. If you can, place it back in the socket; if not, keep it in a cup of milk and bring it with you. Time matters, so call us immediately — acting fast gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
