Emergency dentistry - Fast Response
When to call for emergency dentistry
Immediate situations requiring 24/7 service include: safety hazards (gas leaks, electrical sparks, flooding), complete system failures (no heat in winter, no AC in extreme heat), and damage that's rapidly worsening.
What to expect from emergency service
Emergency dentistry providers near you typically arrive within 1-3 hours. Expect premium pricing (50-100% surcharge) due to off-hours availability, rapid response, and priority scheduling. Most provide temporary fixes immediately and schedule permanent repairs during business hours.
Before the tech arrives
If safe to do so: shut off water/gas/power to affected area, clear access paths, document damage with photos, and prepare to describe the problem clearly. Have your phone ready to accept updates on arrival time.
