Emergency Dental Services We Offer

Some emergencies need a simple repair, while others require more advanced treatment. Whatever the case, we’ll recommend the right solution to relieve your pain.

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too badly damaged or infected to save, an extraction removes the source of the problem. We numb the area, carefully remove the tooth, and guide you through aftercare to relieve discomfort and protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treats an infection deep inside the tooth without removing the tooth itself. Our dentists remove the infected tissue, then clean and seal the area. This helps ease the pain, and prevents the infection from spreading.

Dental Fillings

Whether a filling has come loose or decay has left part of your tooth exposed and sensitive, a new filling can repair the area. We clean the tooth and restore it with durable, tooth-colored material, bringing back its shape, strength, and function.

Dental Crowns

If a tooth cracks, breaks, or loses an existing crown, a custom dental crown can restore its protection and support. We fit the new crown securely over the tooth to help prevent further damage and make everyday biting and chewing comfortable again.

Frequently Asked Questions on Dental Emergencies

Talk to Us
A dental emergency is an unexpected problem that needs attention quickly to relieve pain, control an infection, or protect your tooth. This may include severe tooth pain, swelling, a dental abscess, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or an injury to your teeth, gums, or jaw. If you are unsure, call our team and tell us what happened. We’ll provide prompt assistance and guide you on what to do next.
Book an emergency dental appointment if your tooth pain is severe, continues after brushing, rinsing, and flossing, or makes it difficult to eat or sleep. You should also seek care if the pain follows a fall or comes with swelling, fever, or a painful bump near the tooth or gums. These symptoms may indicate an infection or another problem that needs treatment.
Most problems involving a tooth, crown, or dental infection should be assessed by a dentist. Go to the nearest emergency room for a severe blow to the head or face, a suspected jaw fracture, bleeding that will not stop, or swelling that affects your ability to breathe or swallow.
Yes. Our office offers same-day emergency services and accepts walk-ins for urgent dental concerns so you don’t have to wait. Call us before arriving when possible so our team can prepare for your visit and help you get assessed as quickly as possible. The treatment provided to our patients depends on what our dentists find during your examination.
The cost depends on the cause of the problem and the treatment you need. An examination, X-rays, filling, crown, root canal, or extraction will each have a different cost. Additionally, charges can vary for more complex procedures. Once we assess your concern, our team will explain the recommended treatment and provide a clear estimate before moving forward.
Yes. You can still receive urgent dental care even if you do not have dental insurance. We will explain the treatment you need, review the expected expenditure, and help you understand the payment or financing options available to you.
Yes. We welcome both Salem residents and visitors dealing with unexpected tooth pain, damage, or another urgent concern related to your mouth. Whether a crown came off while traveling or you injured a tooth during your visit, call or walk in and our professional team will help you get the care you need.
Original Medicare generally does not cover most dental services, including fillings, extractions, dentures, and implants. Limited dental services may be covered when they are directly connected to certain Medicare-covered medical treatments or qualifying inpatient hospital care. Some Medicare Advantage plans include additional dental benefits, so check your individual plan or contact your provider to confirm your or your family’s coverage.
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, and do not scrub it. If it is dirty, rinse it gently, then try to place it back in the socket only if you can do so safely. Otherwise, keep it moist in milk and bring your child and the tooth to a dentist immediately. A knocked-out permanent tooth is time-sensitive, and acting quickly may improve the chance of saving it.
