How We Treat Dental Emergencies
To ensure you receive the most efficient and effective treatment, the following steps should be taken when a dental emergency occurs:
- Call and schedule an appointment – Our team members will schedule a same-day appointment should your situation require immediate care. After explaining the reason for your emergency visit, we will offer first-aid tips that you can use while you wait to see Dr. Lee.
- Undergo a thorough examination – When arriving at our office, we will escort you to a treatment room and take diagnostic images of your mouth. This will help Dr. Lee to more thoroughly examine the problem area while also performing a visual examination.
- Compile our findings – Lee will compile all of his findings to produce a complete treatment plan that includes the recommended services. He will go over it with you to determine if you would like to proceed.
- Helping you out of pain – Once you agree to the proposed plan, we will get to work relieving you of any pain while addressing the damaged portion of your smile.
