When a dental emergency disrupts your day, you need an Emergency Dentist who can act quickly and precisely. Perfect Smile Dental Care provides same-day emergency dental care during office hours for tooth pain, injuries, swelling, infections, and other time-sensitive concerns. From rapid diagnosis to definitive treatment, our team focuses on relieving pain, protecting your oral health, and planning any necessary follow-up so you can recover with confidence.
Our in-office capabilities allow us to assess and treat most dental emergencies without referral. Advanced imaging, restorative solutions, and surgical expertise are available onsite, enabling efficient care from the first call through resolution.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe or escalating toothaches
- Fractured, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Dental abscesses and facial swelling
- Lost or loose crowns, bridges, or fillings
- Soft-tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, or gums
- Trauma related to sports or accidents
If you are uncertain whether your situation is a dental emergency, call our office for guidance. Acting promptly can preserve teeth and prevent complications.
How We Triage and Treat Urgent Cases
- Targeted Diagnostics: Rapid evaluation with clinical testing and digital X-rays to identify the source of the problem.
- Stabilization & Pain Relief: Immediate steps to control discomfort and address infection or active bleeding.
- Definitive Repair: Same-day treatment when appropriate, or interim care with a clear next-step plan.
- Restoration & Follow-Through: Coordination with restorative dentistry for long-term solutions such as dental crowns, dental implants, or root canals when indicated.
Because we provide preventative dentistry, orthodontics, restorative care, periodontics, and endodontics and in one location, you won’t lose time bouncing between offices.

- Root Canal Therapy: Infection control while preserving your natural tooth.
- Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Extractions: Removal when a tooth cannot be predictably saved.

What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any issue that involves significant pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma, or a risk of tooth loss should be treated as a dental emergency. Common examples include avulsed teeth, severe toothaches, abscesses, and broken teeth.
How quickly can I be seen?
We prioritize same-day emergency dental care during all business hours. Call as early as possible so our team can reserve time for your visit.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, gently rinse (do not scrub), and attempt to reinsert it. If that’s not possible, place it in milk or an ADA-approved tooth preservation kit and head to our office immediately. Time is critical.
Can you relieve pain at the first visit?
Yes. Our Emergency Dentist will focus on immediate pain control and stabilization, then discuss definitive options such as a root canal, crown, or extraction if needed.
Do you treat cracked or broken dental work?
We can repair or replace damaged restorations. Depending on the case, solutions may include temporary stabilization followed by a permanent restoration.
What if my swelling is severe or I have fever?
Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing can indicate a spreading infection and should be managed urgently. Call us immediately; if breathing is affected, go to the nearest emergency room.
Will I need to see a specialist?
Most dental emergencies can be diagnosed and treated in-house. If your case would benefit from a specialized approach, we’ll coordinate care and ensure a seamless handoff.
