Same-Day Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies can feel scary, painful, and stressful — but you don’t have to face them alone. At Modern Dental, we’re here to help you get relief quickly with gentle, compassionate care. Whether you’re experiencing sudden pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or something just “doesn’t feel right,” we make every effort to see you the same day.
You deserve a dental home that supports you in urgent moments — with kindness, clarity, and comfort.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, err on the safe side — call us.
Here are the most common emergencies we treat:
Severe Tooth Pain
Constant, throbbing, or sharp pain is often a sign of infection, deep decay, or an abscess. Quick treatment can prevent the problem from getting worse.
Dental Infection or Swelling
Swelling inside the mouth, around the gums, or in the face can indicate a serious infection that needs urgent attention.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Whether from biting something hard, a fall, or an accident — we can restore the tooth and prevent further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. If possible, gently place the tooth back in its socket or store it in milk and call us right away.
Lost Crown or Filling
Even if it’s not painful, leaving a tooth exposed can cause sensitivity, cracks, or new cavities.
Gum or Jaw Injury
Any trauma to the mouth or jaw should be evaluated promptly to ensure there’s no underlying damage.
Dental Abscess
A pocket of infection can cause pain, swelling, fever, or a bad taste. Abscesses should be treated immediately.
If something feels wrong, we want to help.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Yes — whenever possible, we offer same-day emergency appointments. Dental pain and infection shouldn’t have to wait. If you call early in the day, we can almost always fit you in.

Possibly, but antibiotics alone are not enough. They can help control infection temporarily, but the source of the problem must be treated to prevent it from returning or worsening. We’ll evaluate your situation, relieve your pain, and create a safe, effective treatment plan that addresses the root issue.
Yes. Intermittent pain often means something deeper is happening, such as decay, a cracked tooth, or early infection. It’s better to address it now before it becomes a true emergency.
Our first priority is to get you out of pain. Once you arrive, we’ll quickly evaluate what’s causing the discomfort and provide immediate relief. Many patients feel significantly better before they even leave the office. You’ll never be left waiting or wondering — we walk you through every step with gentleness and clarity.
Costs vary depending on what treatment you need, but we will always explain pricing upfront before moving forward. Our goal is to give you relief, clarity, and affordable options — not surprise bills.
