Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition requiring immediate treatment to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth — severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, abscesses, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, and lost crowns or fillings causing pain. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us at (385) 475-2622.
How quickly can you see me for a dental emergency?
We provide same-day emergency appointments, and most patients are seen within hours of calling. When you contact us, we prioritize urgent cases and work to accommodate you as quickly as possible.
Do I need to be an existing patient to receive emergency care?
No. We welcome both existing and new patients experiencing dental emergencies. Urgent dental problems don't discriminate, and everyone deserves immediate access to emergency care.
Will my dental insurance cover emergency treatment?
We are not a Medicaid provider, but we accept many other insurance plans, and most cover a significant portion of emergency care. If we can verify your policy, we submit the claim for you. Affordable financing options are also available. After hours, we ask for payment in full and process your insurance claim the next business day so you can be reimbursed.
What should I do before my emergency appointment?
For severe pain, take over-the-counter pain medication as directed, rinse with warm salt water, and apply a cold compress. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or saliva and save any fragments. Most importantly, get to our office quickly.
How much will my emergency dental visit cost?
Costs vary based on your condition and the treatment required. Emergency visits average $300–600 including the exam, X-ray, emergency fee and treatment, and we explain costs before starting. Payment in full is usually expected, especially after hours; affordable financing options are available for larger treatments. Call (385) 475-2622 to discuss costs.
