The Benefits of Emergency Dental Care
Fast Relief From Pain and Swelling
Tooth pain can interrupt daily life, sleep, and your overall wellbeing. Immediate care alleviates discomfort while preventing further damage. Emergency help is possible!
Save Your Natural Teeth
Prompt treatment increases the likelihood of preserving the natural tooth following trauma, cracks, or infection.
Prevent Further Complications
A small chip in a tooth, a cavity, or an infected tooth can quickly evolve into a bigger issue. Same-day attention helps avoid costly future procedures.
The Emergency Dental Care Treatment Process
Emergency Evaluation & Diagnostics
Upon arrival, you’ll receive a warm welcome and a focused examination using advanced digital imaging and 3D scans when necessary. Our experienced team will assess the source of pain, damage, or trauma and take the time to explain your condition in detail. Whether you're a long-time patient or it's your first visit to Old Town Smiles, we treat every individual with the personalized attention they deserve, without rushing or judgment. Compassion and respect are our cornerstones!
Treatment Planning & Immediate Solutions
Using your diagnostic results, Dr. Ahmed or Dr. Barra will discuss your care options. From a simple dental bonding procedure to a root canal, filling, crown, or even extraction, treatments can often begin immediately, thanks to our flexible, emergency-accommodating schedule. You’ll never feel pressured. Instead, we focus on stabilizing your oral health while making sure you feel informed and comfortable at each decision point.
Comfort-First Dental Experience
Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming, but our spa-like environment is designed to reduce that anxiety. Choose from our custom comfort menu, including noise-canceling headphones, cozy blankets, or aromatherapy, and let Scotch, our certified therapy dog, offer emotional support. At Old Town Smiles, we handle emergencies with empathy and exceptional clinical skill, so you can reclaim both your comfort and your confidence.
