What it is

Emergency & repairs — the plain-English version.

Things break. A bracket pops off, a tooth chips, a crown comes loose. Call the office as soon as you can — we hold time in the schedule for same-day repairs when the situation warrants it. For after-hours emergencies, the voicemail provides next-step guidance.

Overview

How treatment works.

  • Broken or loose brackets re-bonded same-day when possible.
  • Chipped teeth assessed and repaired (bonding or temporary restoration).
  • Lost or loose crowns and fillings reseated.
  • Pain assessment — including whether the issue is dental or TMJ-related.

Is this for you

Call us right away if

  • A bracket comes off or a wire is poking your cheek.
  • A tooth is chipped, broken, or knocked loose.
  • A crown, filling, or veneer comes out.
  • You have sudden, severe tooth pain.
  • You've had a blow to the face or jaw.

The visits

What the process actually looks like.

Step-by-step, so there are no surprises at the chair.

  1. Call the office

    661-323-5910. The front desk will triage the situation and find you the soonest available slot.

  2. Assessment

    A quick exam — and, if needed, an x-ray — determines what's actually going on and what the right immediate fix is.

  3. Immediate care

    For most repairs, we can resolve the issue at the same visit. For anything that needs specialist input, we coordinate the referral and arrange interim relief.
