Emergency Dental Services in Los Angeles, CA

Same Day Emergency Appointments

When you're in pain, waiting days for relief isn't an option. That's why we offer Same Day Emergency Appointments for new and existing patients in need of urgent care.

Whether you're dealing with a cracked tooth, severe pain, swelling, or trauma, we set aside time every day to ensure you're seen quickly. Call early, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you the same day you contact us.

When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?

Some dental issues simply can’t wait for a routine appointment. Call us immediately if you experience:

• A toothache or sharp pain that won’t go away
  
• Swollen gums, jaw, or face
  
• A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
  
• A knocked-out tooth (avulsed tooth)
  
• A loose or dislodged crown or filling
  
• Infection, abscess, or pus around a tooth or gum
  
• Bleeding from the mouth that won’t stop
  

We also handle complications from prior dental work, including failed root canals, broken porcelain crowns, and worn tooth-colored fillings.

What to Expect During an Emergency Appointment

We reserve time daily for urgent cases and treat emergencies with efficiency and empathy.

Step 1: Immediate Evaluation

Dr. Kayla Kigawa will perform a focused exam using diagnostics and digital imaging to pinpoint the issue.

Step 2: Pain Relief & Stabilization

We’ll relieve discomfort and stabilize your condition—whether that means antibiotics, a temporary crown, or drainage of an infection.

Step 3: Personalized Treatment Plan

Once you’re comfortable, we’ll discuss the best next steps, which may include:

• Tooth extractions
  
• Dental implants or replacement restorations
  
• Implant crowns or bridgework
  
• Referrals for complex surgical needs if necessary
  

Throughout your visit, our team ensures you feel supported, informed, and cared for.

Emergency Dental Care for Children

As part of our children’s dentistry program, we treat urgent pediatric dental concerns like injuries, knocked-out teeth, and sudden toothaches. We create a gentle, reassuring environment to ease fear and restore smiles fast.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

Prevention is key. Regular cleanings and exams, and proactive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride treatments help lower your risk of emergencies.

We also guide patients on trauma response and protective measures like mouthguards for sports.
