Emergency Care
AshfordEmergency dentistry
When it cannot wait, we hold a chair.
A cracked tooth, a sudden ache, a filling that let go over the weekend. Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient hour. We keep openings in every day's schedule that we do not fill in advance, precisely because these days happen, and because a partnership always has a dentist on hand to see you.
- Same-day appointments for most emergencies
- Cracked teeth, swelling and pain jump the line
- Clear first-aid guidance the moment you call
- Honest pricing before we begin any work
- A partner on hand every working day
- Follow-up care with your own dentist
Call first, and we will guide you
The moment you call, we tell you what to do until you arrive and get you a time the same day whenever we can. Warm salt water, no chewing on that side, a cold compress for swelling: small steps that keep a bad morning from getting worse on the drive in. If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist and call immediately, because the first hour genuinely matters.
A cracked tooth caught in time is usually a simple crown. Left a few weeks, the same tooth can split below the gumline and become an extraction. Timing is most of the story with a dental emergency, which is why we would always rather see you today than tell you to leave a message and hope.
No drama, no judgment
You will not get a lecture about the time since your last visit, and you will hear the cost before any work begins. Because we are a group, there is a partner available to handle the urgent problem calmly and quickly, and then your own dentist picks up any follow-up care once the crisis has passed. Most people are surprised by how ordinary we make it feel.
Frequently asked questions

Handle it by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us at once. Reimplantation is most successful within the first hour, so do not wait.

A dental implant is the closest thing modern dentistry has to a real tooth: a small titanium post that fuses with your jaw and carries a crown matched to your natural teeth.

Gum disease is the quiet condition behind most adult tooth loss, and in its early stages it rarely hurts, which is exactly why it goes untreated for years.
