What counts as a dental emergency?

Pain you cannot control, swelling, bleeding that will not stop, or trauma to a tooth. When in doubt, call — we will tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.

My tooth was knocked out. What do I do right now?

Pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently in water or milk, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then call us immediately — the first hour matters most.

Do you see emergency patients without insurance?

Yes. We will give you the cost before treatment and CareCredit is available if you need to spread payments.

What treatment involves

Same-day urgent appointments

We hold slots each day at all three offices for patients in pain, including new patients who have never seen us before.

After-hours emergency line

Call (610) 457-5671 outside office hours. You reach our team, not a call center.

Pain and infection control

Draining an abscess, starting antibiotics where appropriate, root canal treatment or extraction — whatever stops the problem fastest and most safely.

Repairs while you wait

Re-cementing crowns, rebuilding broken teeth and replacing lost fillings, often in the same visit.
