Same-Day Availability We don’t make you wait days when you’re in pain. Our commitment to same-day appointments means you get urgent care quickly, preventing small problems from becoming bigger ones and providing fast relief when you’re suffering.
Comprehensive Solutions From temporary fixes to definitive treatment, we handle all types of dental emergencies. Dr. Guerra’s extensive training allows her to provide complete care on-site rather than referring you elsewhere in your moment of need.
Pain Relief Priority Severe dental pain can be unbearable. Our first priority is relieving your discomfort quickly so you can think clearly about treatment options. We use effective anesthesia and sedation to ensure you’re comfortable throughout emergency care.
Save Damaged Teeth Time is critical in dental emergencies. The faster you receive care, the better chance we have of saving damaged teeth or minimizing long-term consequences. Our same-day access maximizes treatment success.
Prevent Complications Untreated dental emergencies can lead to serious complications including infection spread, bone loss, and even systemic health issues. Immediate care stops problems in their tracks and protects your overall well-being.
Step 1: Contact Us Immediately Call our office right away when a dental emergency occurs. Describe your situation, and our team will provide guidance on managing symptoms until you arrive and will make space in the schedule for urgent care.
Step 2: Immediate Assessment When you arrive, Dr. Guerra evaluates your situation promptly. We take necessary x-rays, examine the affected area, and determine the best course of action to address your emergency effectively.
Step 3: Pain Management If you’re experiencing pain, we provide immediate relief through anesthesia or other appropriate methods. Getting you comfortable is our first priority so we can then focus on definitive treatment.
Step 4: Emergency Treatment Dr. Guerra provides the necessary care to resolve your emergency — whether that’s reattaching a knocked-out tooth, treating an abscess, repairing a broken tooth, or addressing another urgent issue. Dr. Guerra will provide referrals to specialists if needed to address your emergency.
Step 5: Follow-Up Planning After addressing the immediate emergency, we discuss any additional treatment needed and schedule appropriate follow-up. You’ll leave with clear instructions for home care and know exactly what comes next.
Our friendly team is here to help with anything you need — from insurance questions to treatment details.
True emergencies include knocked-out teeth, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, trauma to teeth or jaw, abscesses or facial swelling, and broken teeth with sharp edges cutting your mouth. If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll help you determine urgency.
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call us immediately — time is critical for reattachment success.
Yes. We prioritize patients in pain and do our best to see you the same day you call. Severe toothaches often indicate infection or deep decay requiring prompt treatment to prevent complications.
If you are experiencing a true emergency, please visit your nearest urgent care or ER. For dental emergencies that can wait, you may also call our office and leave a voicemail, and we will follow up as soon as we return.
Emergency visits are billed based on the services provided, not on appointment timing. We believe you shouldn’t be penalized financially for needing urgent care. We’ll provide cost estimates before proceeding with treatment.
