Your Situation Counts
Is It a Dental Emergency?
If You're In Pain — Yes.
Don't wait to figure out if it's "bad enough" to call. Here's what we treat same-day:
Toothache or Severe Tooth Pain
Throbbing, sharp, or constant pain — whether it came on suddenly or has been building for days.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
Especially if the edge is sharp, the tooth is sensitive, or you can feel exposed pulp.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Call immediately — time matters. Keep the tooth moist and come straight in.
Lost or Broken Crown or Bridge
Exposes the vulnerable tooth underneath. It can deteriorate quickly without protection.
Abscess or Facial Swelling
Can spread fast. If your face or jaw is swollen, call us now — this needs same-day attention.
Not Sure? Call Anyway.
If it's affecting eating or keeping you up at night — call us. We'll help you decide over the phone.

And no judgment. Whether you were at the dentist last month or last decade, you're welcome here. We've helped thousands of patients who'd put it off too long.
"I had extreme anxiety and cried alligator tears. But the dentist is SO GOOD and SO pleasant. I'm terrified of dentists but I think she has a patient for life."

Patient Stories
What Emergency Patients Say About A to Z
"I called all over town looking to book an appointment and they are the only dental office in my area who still answers the phone. I called on a Friday and was able to get an appointment for that following Monday morning."
"I was a walk-in with a toothache. Staff was so warm and welcoming. Doctor was very professional and made me feel so comfortable. Excellent chairside manner. I highly recommend A to Z!!"
"I had a very complicated case, but she knew exactly what to do. She informed me on my best options — unlike other dentists who only mentioned pulling the tooth. If you need any work done that's going to last for years, I recommend this dentist."
No Surprises
Worried About Cost? We Get It.
Here's how we handle it: we tell you the price before any work starts — not after. No surprises, no high-pressure "let's fix everything today," no being upsold while you're in pain. We accept most PPO insurance (including Delta Dental and MetLife in-network), and offer flexible financing if you're paying out of pocket.
