What to Expect During an Emergency Appointment

When you arrive, our focus is immediate relief and clear communication. Here’s how it works:
Urgent Evaluation

We assess the source of pain or damage using a clinical exam, digital x-rays, and a discussion of your symptoms.

Pain Management First

We prioritize your comfort, using numbing agents, medication, or treatment to get your pain under control as quickly as possible.

Treatment or Stabilization

We either resolve the issue during your visit (e.g., with an extraction or root canal) or stabilize the area and schedule follow-up treatment.

Clear Plan Moving Forward

You’ll leave with answers, peace of mind, and a treatment plan to fully address the issue — with no surprises.

We’re here to help you feel better, not judged. Emergencies happen, and we’re prepared to handle them with urgency and care.
