    Smile Design Studio by KC, located in Rittenhouse Square, Center City Philadelphia, is a solo cosmetic and restorative dental practice led by Kirti Chopra, DDS, FAGD. Her approach favors conservative treatment when it can meet a patient's goals, with options like Bioclear or cosmetic bonding rather than defaulting to more extensive work, and every case begins with a full evaluation of the bite and gum health, not just the tooth in question.

What is emergency dental care?

Emergency dental care treats urgent problems such as severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, or bleeding that will not stop. The first goal is to relieve pain and control infection; full treatment may follow at a later visit.

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.
