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.

One of the best experiences from a dental company. I called to setup an appointment and was told it wouldn't happen until a week later at the Midland location. I told them I couldn't wait that long and thanked them for their time, but I was asked to hang on the line for them to check at other locations, to see if there were any earlierappointments. The operator came back and said they had a same day appointment but it was in Odessa in 50 minutes. I jumped on it. We got there at 10:25 AM and was greeted immediately. Receptionist was friendly and helped me get setup as a new patient. While I was still working on the tablet, inputting my info, I was called back to start the process of getting the x-rays. That associate was just as friendly and efficient. Once she was finished she asked me to have a seat and I would be called back shortly. It didn't take long at all, 7 minutes or less, before I was called back. I was seated in the dental chair while the associate asked questions, explained what was going to happen and then I waited a little bit longer and the dentist walked in. He told me what he saw when he looked at the x-rays and what I needed. He was friendly, kind, and patient with me and my spouse, asking questions. He said the hygienist would be in to evaluate my teeth and gums and then go for a cleaning. She was quick and efficient and I was onto the next step, cleaning. Painless and not messy. Water wasn't being sprayed all over my face (like I had happen at another place). The cleaning was a good experience, to say the least. The last stop was getting my minor cavity taken care by the dentist. Again, quick & painless. I really appreciate them getting me in the same day. The staff, Sidney, especially and the dentist, Dr. Patton are top notch and I would recommend them to everyone! Even my husband has jumped on the bandwagon and made an appointment for next month!

Very welcoming! Love the people, always takes care of me!!!

Dr.Patton and Sidney as well as the hygienist I apologize for missing her name have made going to the dentist a comfortable experience for me. They are all very polite here and answered any questions and concerns I had. They have excellent communication and customer care. Excited to get my smile back in shape with Aspen Dental.
