How We Treat Dental Emergencies

Schedule your same-day appointment today: When you call Progressive Dental Group, a team member will speak with you directly and determine whether you should come in immediately or the next business day. Ideally, we’ll get you seen the same day you call. We are open five days a week and every other Saturday, but at the very least you can get first-aid tips from our team ahead of your visit.
Complete an emergency exam with our dentists: Until we can confirm the cause of your dental emergency, we won’t know for sure which service will best address your concerns. We may have to perform a digital X-ray to better understand your needs as well. Our goal is to get you out of any immediate pain and determine the best treatment to resolve your symptoms.
Reviewing our findings: Following your emergency exam, our dentists will create a personalized treatment plan complete with cost estimates and a tentative timeline. We’ll make sure you’re fully informed on the cost of services we recommend before asking you to make a commitment.
Get the professional treatment you need: Our team will work quickly to resolve your symptoms. Common treatments include dental crowns, fillings, root canal therapy, and extractions, but we could also recommend another treatment depending on your emergency.
