Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
How quickly can I be seen in a dental emergency?
At Prime Smile Dental, we prioritize emergency cases and strive to see patients on the same day. Our team works efficiently to ensure you receive prompt and effective treatment to alleviate pain and address the emergency.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of regular office hours?
If you encounter a dental emergency outside of our standard hours, we recommend contacting our office immediately to receive instructions from our answering service.

However, these are temporary measures, and seeing a dentist as soon as possible is crucial.
