What happens when you call

  1. 1

    Call us first thing

    The earlier in the day you call, the more options we have to see you. Describe what happened and how bad the pain is.

  2. 2

    We make a plan for you

    Patients in pain are our priority. We tell you honestly when we can see you and exactly what to do until then.

  3. 3

    Relief first, then the fix

    Your first visit focuses on stopping the pain and stabilizing the problem. Then you get a written plan for the repair.

Go to the ER first if you have:

  • Facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing
  • Bleeding that will not stop with firm pressure
  • A possible broken jaw or a head injury from the same accident
  • High fever with facial swelling

These can be life threatening. Call 911 or get to the emergency room, then call us for the dental follow-up once you are safe.

Repairs happen here

Comfort for nervous patients

A gentle pace and nitrous oxide keep you comfortable, even when you arrive in pain.

A written plan, no pressure

After relief comes an honest written plan with real numbers. You decide what happens next.
