What We Treat

Most dental emergencies, handled today

If something is wrong, call. Even if you are not sure whether it is an emergency, we will tell you on the phone whether you need to come in today.

Severe Toothache

Throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or pain that wakes you up. We diagnose the cause and stop the pain same-day.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Fractured front tooth, cracked molar, sharp edge cutting your tongue. Same-day repair with composite, crown, or onlay.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Best chance of saving a tooth is within 1 hour. Call us on the way. We will walk you through what to do while you travel.

Lost Filling or Crown

Tooth feels rough or sensitive after a filling or crown came loose. We replace or temporarily restore same-day.

Abscess or Infection

A dental abscess usually stems from untreated cavities, cracked teeth, or gum disease. It requires immediate dental attention, as it will not heal on its own and can spread.

Emergency Extraction

Emergency tooth extractions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are generally necessary when there is severe pain, trauma, infection, or loose teeth.

What Sacramento patients say

Plan Member

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Lost my dental insurance when I left my job. Compared the membership against three private plans on Covered California. The Smile Assurance Plan was cheaper than all of them and had no waiting period. Joined the same day.”

Family Plan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We are self-employed, so dental insurance was never worth the premium. Family of five on the Smile Assurance Plan costs us less than $450 a year. Got two crowns and four cleanings done this year, still saving versus what insurance would have cost.”

“Needed an implant. My insurance wanted me to wait six months and then was going to cover almost nothing. Joined the plan, got the implant the next week with 30% off.”

While You Travel to Us

Dental first aid: what to do right now

Quick steps for the most common dental emergencies. Call us first. We will walk you through these on the phone if needed.
01

Toothache: Rinse with warm water. Floss to dislodge food. Cold compress outside the cheek. OTC pain reliever as directed.

02

Knocked-out tooth: Hold by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently if dirty. Place in milk. Get to us within 1 hour.

03

Broken tooth: Save the pieces. Rinse your mouth and the pieces in warm water. Apply a cold compress to the cheek.

04

Lost crown: If painful, dab clove oil on the exposed tooth. Slip the crown back on with dental cement from a drugstore.
