Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and waiting for an appointment isn’t always an option.

Whether it’s a toothache, a broken tooth, or any other dental emergency, our team is here to provide immediate, effective treatment when you need it most.
Why You Might Need a Walk-In Dentist:
Dental emergencies come in many forms, and some common reasons patients seek walk-in care include:
- Severe tooth pain: Sudden or persistent toothaches can indicate a serious issue like an infection or abscess.
- Broken or chipped tooth: Dental trauma from accidents or injuries needs prompt attention to prevent further damage.
- Lost filling or crown: If a filling or crown falls out, it can expose the tooth to bacteria and cause pain.
- Swollen gums or face: Swelling can be a sign of infection and should be treated as soon as possible.
- Bleeding gums: Persistent or excessive bleeding from the gums could indicate gum disease or another serious issue.
