Not every dental issue is an emergency, but many are more urgent than people initially realize. A good rule of thumb is this: if you’re in significant pain, there’s visible trauma, or something feels structurally wrong with your tooth, don’t wait to call.
Common situations we see include toothaches, cracked or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. Each one requires prompt attention to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Below are some of the most frequent dental emergencies we treat at our practice:
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s always better to call us than wait. We can help you assess the situation over the phone and get you in as quickly as possible.

When dental pain becomes unbearable, it’s tempting to head to the nearest hospital emergency room. However, hospital ERs are not equipped to provide actual dental treatment. They may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to manage symptoms, but they cannot fix a broken tooth, drain an abscess properly, or restore a knocked-out tooth. According to CDC research on emergency department visits for tooth disorders, nearly two million Americans visit the ER annually for dental conditions, yet most leave without receiving definitive dental treatment.
Coming directly to our office means you get real, lasting care on the same day. Our team can treat the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. That means faster recovery, less time in pain, and a clear path forward for your oral health.
We approach every emergency with a clear goal: get you comfortable and treated as quickly as possible. Here is what that looks like in practice.
We understand that waiting isn’t an option when you’re in pain, and we prioritize urgent cases accordingly. Our same-day dental care approach is built around getting patients comfortable and treated without unnecessary delays.
We use AI-assisted diagnostic tools and digital imaging to assess your situation quickly and accurately the moment you arrive. This helps us identify the root cause of your pain or trauma efficiently so treatment can begin right away, rather than spending extra time on guesswork.
Our in-house dental lab is a significant advantage for patients who need restorations during an emergency. For patients who need a new crown, we can often handle it the same visit using our CEREC same-day crown technology. The ability to fabricate restorations on-site means fewer appointments and a faster return to normal. Patients dealing with a damaged tooth can learn more about dental crowns and how quickly we can restore full function.
Taking the right steps before you get to our office can make a real difference in the outcome of your treatment.
If your tooth has been completely knocked out, pick it up by the crown (the chewing surface), not the root. Rinse it gently with water if it’s dirty, but do not scrub it. Try to place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately and head to our office.
Over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress applied to the outside of the cheek can help reduce discomfort and swelling while you’re on your way in. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the gum tissue, as this can cause irritation. If you’re experiencing pain from what may be an infected tooth, a root canal may be the appropriate treatment, and our team can evaluate this quickly once you arrive.
When you arrive at our Sandy Springs-area office, we’ll take care of intake quickly so you spend less time filling out forms and more time getting treated. We’ll assess the situation using digital imaging and a thorough clinical exam, explain your options clearly, and get to work. We believe in price transparency, so there won’t be any surprises when it comes to cost. You can review our pricing before your visit so you feel confident going in.
We accept Delta Dental, Principal, and Ameritas, and we work with patients who are out-of-network with other insurance providers. Our team will walk you through your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
