What is a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any oral issue that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding or save a tooth. This includes severe toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, infections and injuries to the mouth or jaw.

What emergency dental services does Aspen Dental offer?

Our providers can perform extractions, root canals, denture repairs, crown placements and other urgent treatments. We prioritize same-day care whenever possible.

Is a broken tooth considered a dental emergency?

Yes. A broken tooth can expose the inner pulp, causing pain or exposing sharp edges that injure your mouth. Quick treatment reduces complications and restores your tooth fast.

Do dental emergencies require oral surgery?

Not always. Some emergencies can be resolved with a filling, crown or antibiotics. If surgery is needed, such as a complex extraction, your provider will review what’s recommended in your care plan.

Will dental insurance cover dental emergencies?

Most insurance covers at least part of emergency care. At Aspen Dental, we accept most insurance plans but do not accept Medicaid. Before treatment, we’ll check your benefits, explain coverage and provide a written estimate for you to review.

How much does emergency dental care cost?

Costs vary depending on the procedure. Insurance usually covers part of the cost. Aspen Dental also provides 3rd-party financing and the Aspen Dental Savings Plan¹ for patients without insurance. ¹The Aspen Dental Savings Plan is NOT insurance. Please see plan terms and conditions for details.

Should I go to the emergency room?

Most emergency rooms (E.R.) are not equipped for dental procedures. Go to the E.R. only if swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, or if you have a high fever with infection. Otherwise, call Aspen Dental for urgent dental care.

Featured Reviews

It is rare to find someone you can trust in the medical field nowadays. I was seen by Dr. Ibrahim Darhmaoui and was fully reassured with my care and could trust all his treatments and recommendations. I highly recommend him if you have any anxiety around dental care. He is really great at reassuring patients and explains everything to you as well as easing any anxieties with a laugh. You can tell that he really cares about his patients and very passionate about what he does. The staff are incredibly nice and the office manager, Molly, is really great and helpful! The new patient appointment was very comprehensive and it was cool to see all the different x-rays and scans of my teeth. I would carve out at least two hours for the first appointment, but my other appointments have taken the time needed or finished early. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone!

They was nice fr

Got me in before my scheduled appointment for cracked denture. Fixed extremely broken denture while waiting for new one to be made under warranty. Very professional and are working hard to get me my new denture before holidays.
