About Urgent Dental Care

Urgent dental care addresses issues that cause significant pain or risk further damage if left untreated, such as an infected tooth or an impacted wisdom tooth. These situations often need prompt attention, and we prioritize getting patients in and out of pain as quickly as possible.

Our Urgent Dental Care Services

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, relieving pain and allowing the natural tooth to be saved rather than extracted.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction addresses teeth that are impacted, causing pain, or crowding surrounding teeth. Removing them can prevent further complications down the line.

Signs You May Need Urgent Care

  • Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Swelling around a tooth or in the jaw
  • Pain near the back of the mouth that may indicate a wisdom tooth issue
  • A tooth that has become discolored following an injury

What to Expect

  1. A prompt exam and X-rays to identify the source of pain

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a root canal hurt?
Root canal therapy is performed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure itself, and any post treatment discomfort is usually mild.
How long is recovery after wisdom tooth extraction?
Recovery time varies, but most patients feel significantly better within a few days, with full healing taking a few weeks.
Is a root canal considered a dental emergency?
A root canal can often be scheduled urgently, but the level of urgency depends on your symptoms, so contact us right away if you are in pain.
Can all wisdom teeth be removed in one visit?
In many cases, yes, though this depends on the position of the teeth and your dentist's recommendation.
Will my insurance cover root canal therapy or extractions?
Many insurance plans offer coverage for these treatments. We accept direct billing for most major providers and can help clarify your coverage.
