If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, such as excessive bleeding, extreme pain or severe additional injuries, dial 911 immediately. For non-life-threatening dental emergencies, call our office right away. We'll provide the emergency dental care you need.
While an extremely painful toothache may feel unbearable, it is usually caused by a bacterial infection or an abscessed tooth. It's crucial to treat the infection promptly before it spreads further and leads to more severe consequences.
Any of the following dental injuries paired with pain, facial swelling or gum swelling is considered a dental emergency: broken tooth (craze lines, fractured cusp, cracked tooth, split tooth or vertical root fracture) or a missing dental crown.
If you've had a permanent adult tooth knocked out, try to retrieve the tooth by picking it up by the crown (top part) to avoid touching the root. Gently rinse off the tooth with water, but don’t scrub it or use any soaps, chemicals or toothpaste. If possible, carefully put the tooth back into the socket it came from and bite down softly on gauze to hold it in place. If you can't replant the tooth, place it in a small container of cold milk and bring it with you.
An abscessed tooth is a serious dental infection, requiring prompt treatment. If you have a tooth abscess, several solutions are available depending on the severity of the infection in your tooth and gums.
A tooth extraction procedure may be the best solution for severely damaged or infected teeth. The cost for emergency tooth extraction ranges from $75 to $300.
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected, a root canal treatment is often needed to save the natural tooth. The cost for an emergency root canal on a front tooth is usually $600 to $900, while a molar root canal is $1,000 to $1,400.
If your dental crown has come loose, fallen off or damaged, it must be replaced. The cost for an emergency dental crown can range from $800 to $1,700 depending on the material. Options include all-porcelain ($1,200-$1,500), porcelain fused to high noble metal ($900-$1,300), porcelain fused to noble metal ($900-$1,200) and porcelain fused to base metal ($800-$1,200). We also offer same-day CEREC crowns for $1,200-$1,700.
For moderately chipped or broken teeth, dental bonding, fillings or veneers may be used to restore the tooth. For other cases, an emergency dental bridge may be best. Dental bonding costs $100-$1,000, fillings are $90-$500 and veneers are $400-$1,500 per tooth. More severely damaged teeth may require a crown ($800-$1,700) or even a dental implant ($3,500-$6,000).
Emergency dental services for issues like broken teeth, infections or missing teeth cost anywhere from $75 for a basic extraction to $6,000 or more for extensive procedures like implants, with common services like fillings, root canals and crowns typically ranging from a few hundred to around $1,700.
Emergency dental procedures are often not covered in full by insurance plans.
