What we treat today
Urgent dental care, four ways in
Each page says what happens, how many visits it usually takes, what you'll feel and how it's billed.
An urgent visit and a checkup
What we do, and what your regular dentist does
Both are good care. They are different jobs.

What we refer on
What we send on, and to whom
We say so at the first visit, and we say who to call.
A root canal
We calm the pain. The root canal itself goes to an endodontist, who gives you their own estimate.
Wisdom teeth and surgical removals
An oral surgeon takes these out. We tell you who to call and what to bring.
A broken jaw or a serious facial injury
That needs an emergency room first. Go there, then call us about any teeth.
Cleanings and checkups
We have no hygienists, so these stay with your regular dentist. If you don't have one, we'll tell you how to find one.
Braces, implants and cosmetic work
These are planned over months. A practice that does them is the better start.
Care that needs more than numbing
We use local anesthetic only. If you need more than that, we refer you to a dentist who offers it.
