How We Treat Dental Emergencies

We are pleased to provide emergency dental care here in our Lexington office, so when you experience a sudden injury that requires professional help, don’t worry. Instead, discover how we can treat your problem area:

  • Call to Schedule an Appointment: You will need to call our office to let us know about the injury as soon as it happens. This will give our team a chance to identify a time for you to come in so that you can get the care you need. We offer evening and weekend appointments, and you can trust we will provide helpful first-aid tips over the phone to help you manage your situation while at home.
  • Receive an Emergency Exam: After arriving at our dental office, we will escort you to a treatment room and perform an emergency examination. We’ll take X-rays and perform a visual evaluation to determine the severity of the problem. Our team will also address immediate pain.
  • Review Our Findings: Our team of highly skilled dentists will review their findings with you, discussing the extent of the problem and how we plan to address it. We’ll create a customized treatment plan and make sure you are in agreement with the proposed service(s) as well as the estimated cost.
  • Administer Treatment: You can count on our dentist to work quickly to help you out of pain and restore your smile to its former beauty. If the problem can be addressed on the same day, we’ll go ahead and get to work. If a more complex method of care is required (i.e., root canal, tooth extraction, etc.), we may have you return at a later time.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes, and they range in severity, so it’s always best to call and alert us to a problem instead of waiting at home, hoping it will heal on its own. Our Lexington Smile Studio team is here to make sure your smile remains intact, functional, and beautiful, so never question whether to contact us about a nagging toothache, cracked or chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost dental crown or filling, or even serious jaw pain. We’re here to help!

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

Tooth and money

The only way to know how much you can expect to spend on your emergency dental appointment and treatment is to schedule a visit with our talented team of dentists. After evaluating the severity of the problem, we’ll craft a plan that indicates which service(s) we plan to use to restore your smile. While the initial visit is unlikely to cost much, the treatment you receive is what will make up the majority of your cost estimate. This is why it’s important to use your dental insurance if you have it. We’ll discuss your available payment options and how you can save more during this difficult time.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Preventive care is the best way to minimize potential dental emergencies, as many stem from poor oral hygiene. Seeing your dentist every six months for regular checkups and cleanings is essential if you want to avoid complications brought on by cavities and gum disease. However, for those injuries that cannot be avoided, there are ways to lower your risk and better protect your smile day after day.
