Urgent Dental Care When You Need It

Tooth pain and dental injuries can appear suddenly. Lacey Smiles prioritizes same-day or next-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Our goals: relieve pain fast, prevent complications, and restore function with a long-term plan.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Any issue involving significant pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, or trauma needs prompt professional attention. Waiting can worsen symptoms and increase treatment complexity.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

  • Severe or persistent toothaches
  • Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
  • Knocked-out teeth (avulsed teeth)
  • Lost or damaged crowns, bridges, or fillings
  • Dental abscesses and infections
  • Gum/soft-tissue injuries and lacerations
  • Sudden jaw or facial swelling related to oral health

Not sure it’s an emergency? Call us—we’ll help you triage and advise next steps.

Why Timely Care Makes a Difference

  • Stops pain and controls infection
  • Saves natural teeth when treated quickly
  • Reduces costs/complexity vs. delayed care
  • Protects overall health (oral infections can spread)
