Emergency Dental Care FAQs

Does my insurance cover dental emergencies?

Insurance plans vary on a case by case basis regarding whether or not they cover urgent dental care. When you call us for your emergency appointment (or even during your regular dental visit), we can look into your insurance coverage for you!

Should I visit the hospital for a dental emergency?

If you have experienced trauma to the head or neck, have severe bleeding, or other bodily trauma, we recommend that you visit the emergency room or your general physician ASAP before coming to us, even if your smile is also damaged.

Is it okay to pull a loose tooth myself?

If your child has a loose baby tooth, it is generally okay to pull it. However, if you or your child has a loose adult tooth, do not pull it. Please contact our office right away and we can help you preserve your adult tooth and prevent it from falling completely out.

I’ve always hated going to the dentist because of past experiences so I’ve been avoiding it for a bit. I’ve finally decided to take care of my teeth because my wisdom tooth was hurting so bad to the point where painkillers didn’t help. I’ve gotten all 4 of my wisdom teeth, deep cleaning, and fillings from this place and I’ve had the best experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I felt no pain for all of my services. I’m happy to have this place to take care of my teeth

I had a really tough root canal today. I was there for almost 6 hours. In the end an infected tooth that was almost cracked in half was saved. The doctor was patient and friendly and the assistant was amazing and accommodating. I was given an appointment the next business day from phoning in and they helped me set up my financial option for payments.

Beautiful office, great staff, and they have early hours so I could get in before work so my boss likes that! Nice printed out summary of work I need done after my initial cleaning and exam, and there was ZERO pressure to agree to any future work they suggested. I recommend Smiles Dental to anybody.

I love this place! Everyone is very friendly and put me immediately at easy. They are not only very skilled At preforming the mechanics of the dental procedures they explain the purpose of every step as well so you are not startled at sudden changes in sound or sensations in your mouth. Every staff member I have met has treated me like a friend not as “just a client”. I would recommend that you give Smiles a call when you need a family dentist.
