    In their words

    It all began with a single patient. She was frustrated at the desire to have a change in her dental health, but could not find a great dental office who cared about her as a person. She needed a place that would treat her like family. Seeing her life change due to dental health started us on a new mission. And we soon found there are many other patients just like her.

Emergency dental care: specialist or general dentist?

Most dental emergencies are handled by general dentists who keep same-day or after-hours slots. You may be referred to an endodontist or oral surgeon afterward. Facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a jaw injury needs a hospital emergency department.
