Everything You Need to Know

Have questions before calling? Here are the ones we hear most often from emergency patients.

What counts as a dental emergency? ๏ผ‹
Any situation causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or a broken/knocked-out tooth requires urgent attention. If you're unsure, always call us โ€” we'll help you decide right away.
Do you accept walk-in emergency patients? ๏ผ‹
Yes. While we recommend calling ahead so we can minimize your wait and prepare for your visit, we do our best to accommodate walk-in emergency patients as quickly as possible.
My tooth was knocked out โ€” what do I do right now? ๏ผ‹
Act fast! Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and place it back in the socket or in a glass of milk. Call us immediately โ€” if you arrive within 30โ€“60 minutes, there's a strong chance we can save the tooth.
What insurance plans do you accept? ๏ผ‹
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and many others. We do not accept HMO or Medicaid. No insurance? No problem โ€” discounts and financing are available.
How much does emergency dental care cost? ๏ผ‹
Cost varies depending on treatment. We provide a clear, transparent breakdown before any procedure begins โ€” no surprises. Most emergency visits are partially covered by insurance, and we offer 0% APR financing for any remainder.
Are you open on weekends? ๏ผ‹
Yes โ€” we offer Saturday appointments for emergency patients. Call us at (626) 618-9323 to check same-day availability. Evening slots are also available select weekdays.
