What to Expect During an Emergency Visit

When you come to Friendly Smiles Center for an urgent issue, our goal is to relieve your pain, address the immediate problem, and create a clear plan with you for any next steps. We start with a focused exam and any necessary digital imaging so Dr. Chase can understand exactly what is going on.

Dr. Chase will then review what he sees in simple, straightforward language, discuss your treatment options, and answer your questions. Whenever possible, we begin treatment the same day. Thanks to our in-house lab and Primescan technology, many patients can receive custom, same-day crowns and other restorations, which means fewer visits and less time dealing with a temporary solution.

FAQ

Emergency Dentist FAQs

How do I know if I need an emergency dentist?

If you are in significant pain, notice swelling, have a knocked-out or broken tooth, or suspect an infection, it is safest to seek emergency dental care. Even if you are unsure, our team can help you decide the right next step.

Can you see me the same day for a dental emergency?

We reserve time in our schedule for urgent visits and do our best to see patients with emergencies as quickly as possible. Calling before you arrive helps us prepare for your visit.

What if I am nervous about dental treatment?

Dental anxiety is very common, especially during an emergency. Our office is designed to be calming, with in-chair TVs, blankets, and a friendly team that explains each step. Sedation options are available for appropriate patients, and we always proceed at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Can you fix a broken crown or filling right away?

In many cases, yes. With our in-house dental lab and Primescan technology, we can often design and place a new, custom crown in a single visit. Tooth-colored fillings and certain repairs can also be completed the same day, depending on your specific situation.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it without scrubbing, keep it moist, and seek an emergency dentist right away. Timely care gives you the best chance of saving the tooth. Our team can guide you by phone on what to do until you arrive.

Do you treat dental emergencies for children and adults?

Friendly Smiles Center is a family-oriented practice that treats both adults and children. If your child experiences a dental emergency, we will help support them and you through the visit with patient, reassuring care.

Will insurance cover my emergency dental visit?

Friendly Smiles Center is not in network with dental insurance plans and does not accept Medicaid. We will gladly file your claim on your behalf to help maximize your available benefits. For affordable financing with fast approvals and available discounts, please see Payment Options & Policies.
