How It Works
Call us immediately if you are having a dental emergency. We can inform you to the best of our ability what may be happening and better prepare you before your appointment.
Once you arrive our dental team will take necessary x-rays and intra oral photos to better understand the situation.
We will then discuss necessary treatment and present all options to relieve you of the dental emergency.
Then after you have decided which treatment option is best for you we can either start treatment that day or schedule for a later date if not urgent.
