Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies

What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling, infection, or uncontrolled bleeding. These issues require prompt care to relieve pain and prevent further damage. If you're unsure, it's best to call right away so your situation can be evaluated quickly.

Can I get same-day care for a dental emergency?

Yes, dental emergencies are often seen the same day. Quick care helps stabilize the problem, reduce pain, and protect your smile. Calling as soon as symptoms begin improves the chances of faster relief and may help limit the extent of treatment needed.

What if a dental emergency happens after hours?

After-hours dental emergencies can still be addressed. You'll have access to Dr. Keene's phone number so that guidance is available when you need it. This support helps you know what steps to take and whether immediate care is necessary before your next visit.

For decades, I had a trusted dental office with the most amazing hygienist. Well, the dentist, I trusted and the hygienist, both retired and the rest of that clinic I used to go to doesn't cut the mustard for me.

Quynh smiles feels like my new dental office. although I have only gotten a crown placed and one cleaning, I can say that the work is up to par with my current needs.

The office staff is professional, kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. Dr. Keene himself has great skill and for anyone needing a crown this is your guy. ONE STOP SHOP, he has the lab right there! For those of you who don't know what this means, it means that you leave with your permanent crown instead of the usual, 2 to 4 week wait with a temporary crown which often times falls out or has complication before the permanent crown gets sent back to your dentist.

Overall highly recommend this place.

My visit was scheduled to replace a crown. Although I was very nervous about the work that would be performed, the staff made me comfortable and the procedure was as pain-free as can be under the circumstances. Dr. Keene explained every step of the process. The technology he uses to make the same day crown is simply amazing. So happy I found his practice!

p.s—Kristin, the hygienist, was great!
