Urgent Dental Care

Immediate Relief When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies don't wait for a convenient time. Whether it's a throbbing toothache that wakes you at 2 a.m. or a tooth knocked out during a weekend soccer game, Summit Dental is here to help. We reserve same-day appointment slots specifically for emergency patients, so you never have to suffer through days of pain waiting for an opening.

You should seek emergency dental care if you experience any of the following: severe or persistent toothache, a broken, cracked, or chipped tooth, a knocked-out (avulsed) tooth, a lost crown or filling, an abscess or dental infection with swelling or fever, or a soft tissue injury to the gums, tongue, or cheeks. When in doubt, call us — our team will help you determine the right course of action over the phone.

Dr. Sarah Chen and our experienced team use advanced digital imaging and modern pain management techniques to diagnose and treat your emergency quickly and comfortably. Our goal is always to save your natural tooth whenever possible, relieve your pain fast, and develop a clear plan for any follow-up care you may need.

Your Emergency Visit, Step by Step

When you arrive, we skip the usual waiting room routine. Dr. Chen will perform a focused examination using digital X-rays and intraoral imaging to quickly identify the problem and determine the best course of action.

After stabilizing your emergency, we'll explain exactly what happened, what we did, and what comes next. You'll leave with a clear follow-up plan, prescriptions if needed, and confidence that your smile is on the road to recovery.
