Immediate Dental Relief When You Need It Most

A sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or facial swelling can stop your day in its tracks. When you’re in pain, you don’t want to wait. At Ora Dentistry, we prioritize emergency patients with same-day appointments, so you can get the relief you need—fast.

Whether you’re in Elk Grove, Galt, Sacramento or the surrounding areas, our experienced team is ready to handle a wide range of urgent dental issues with care, speed, and compassion.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if what you’re experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency? Here’s a quick list of common dental issues that require immediate attention:

• Severe toothaches or sensitivity
• Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
• Swelling in the jaw, gums, or face
• Bleeding from the mouth that won’t stop
• Infections, abscesses, or pus discharge
• Lost or broken crowns, fillings, or veneers
• Trauma from accidents or sports injuries

If you’re in pain, call Ora Dentistry at (916) 975-1000—our team will guide you and book you for urgent care that same day.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Dental Visit

When you contact us with an urgent dental issue, we act fast:

1. Initial Call & Guidance
   Our front office team will assess the urgency of your situation and walk you through what to do next. For knocked-out teeth or swelling, we’ll explain how to preserve the tooth or manage the pain until you arrive.
2. Fast Check-In & Digital Intake
   Save time with online forms. Once you arrive, you’ll be seen as quickly as possible. We’ll prioritize stabilizing your discomfort and begin diagnosis immediately.
3. Thorough Diagnosis Using Advanced Technology
   We use digital X-rays and 3D CBCT scans (if needed) to precisely identify the issue—whether it’s an infection, nerve involvement, a hidden fracture, or trauma beneath the surface.
4. Immediate Treatment or Stabilization
   Whenever possible, we perform same-day treatment to alleviate pain and start healing. In some cases, such as severe infections or swelling, we may prescribe antibiotics first and schedule a follow-up procedure.
5. Compassionate Aftercare & Follow-Up
   You’ll receive instructions for at-home care, any needed prescriptions, and a follow-up visit to ensure full resolution. We’ll even check on you the next day if necessary.

Emergency Dental Treatments We Offer

Depending on the severity and nature of your dental emergency, we may recommend one of the following:

Toothache Relief & Infection Control

Severe tooth pain is often caused by deep decay, cracked roots, or abscesses. We’ll evaluate the affected area and may begin a root canal the same day, or prescribe antibiotics and schedule follow-up care.

Root Canal Therapy

When decay or trauma reaches the tooth’s pulp, root canal therapy can eliminate infection and save your tooth. Our advanced rotary instruments and sedation options make root canals painless and efficient.

Tooth Extractions

In cases of severe damage, infection, or non-restorable teeth, we provide gentle extractions and may place bone grafts to preserve future implant options.

Cracked or Broken Tooth Repair

We offer CEREC same-day crowns and composite bonding to restore broken teeth immediately, avoiding the need for multiple appointments.

Lost Fillings, Crowns, or Veneers

If a restoration falls out, we can typically rebond or replace it during your visit using modern digital imaging to match your existing tooth.

Sedation Dentistry for Anxiety or Trauma

Emergency dental visits can be nerve-wracking, especially for children or anxious adults. That’s why Ora Dentistry offers three levels of sedation:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): For mild anxiety and fast recovery
• Oral Conscious Sedation: A pill taken before your appointment to ease moderate fear
• IV Sedation: For complex cases or patients who want to “sleep” through treatment

You’ll be monitored closely to ensure complete safety and comfort.

Why Not Go to the ER?

Hospital emergency rooms are rarely equipped to treat dental problems. At best, you may receive temporary pain medication and be referred to a dentist. Save time, money, and frustration by coming to Ora Dentistry directly—we offer true dental solutions, not just symptom relief.

Serving Elk Grove, Sacramento & Galt

We welcome emergency patients from across Sacramento County, including:

Emergency Dentistry FAQs

Can you fix a broken tooth on the same day?
In most cases, yes. If the damage doesn’t extend below the gum line, we can usually restore it with bonding or a same-day crown.

Do I need an appointment for an emergency visit?
We recommend calling first so we can prepare. Walk-ins are accepted, but calling ensures we can accommodate you quickly.

How much does emergency dental care cost?
Costs vary by procedure, but we accept most PPO insurance plans and offer payment plans through CareCredit.

Can a dental infection become life-threatening?
Yes. Dental abscesses can spread to the jaw, face, or bloodstream. If you have facial swelling or fever, seek immediate care.
