Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Emergency Dentist?
Emergency dentistry involves urgent care provided by highly skilled dental professionals to treat acute dental problems. These emergencies range from severe toothaches to traumatic injuries such as a knocked-out tooth. Timely intervention is crucial for preventing further complications, from spreading infection to permanent tooth loss. Our dentist offers extended hours and same-day appointments so that urgent problems get handled quickly. Staying calm and calling our office right away gives us the best chance of saving the tooth.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Emergency Dentist
Preventing Complications
Prompt treatment prevents a manageable problem from turning into a spreading infection, a lost tooth, or a far more expensive procedure somewhere down the road.
Restored Function
Restoring function quickly means you can eat, speak, and sleep normally again rather than working around a painful tooth for days or even for weeks on end at home.
Same-Day Access
Same-day appointments and extended hours mean you are seen when the emergency actually happens rather than waiting until the following week for an available opening.
The Process
Our Step-by-Step Process
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Request an Appointment- 01
Immediate Comfort
Our dentist first takes steps to make you comfortable, which may include numbing the affected tooth to relieve your pain as quickly as possible.
- 02
Prompt Diagnosis
We discuss the diagnosis with you, and a small X-ray may be required to identify exactly what is causing the problem in the first place today.
- 03
Treatment Options
We review the best treatment options to correct the issue, and depending on the nature of your emergency, same-day treatment may be possible.
- 04
Interim Planning
When a permanent fix has to wait, we discuss an interim option and then schedule the final restoration for a separate visit a little later on.
- 05
Financial Review
We go over pricing considerations, including any insurance benefits that apply, along with the financial options that you may want to consider.
Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need Emergency Dentist
Severe Toothache
A tooth is causing severe and persistent pain that over-the-counter pain medication is simply no longer keeping under any kind of real control.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A tooth has been knocked out or badly loosened in an injury, and time matters a great deal where saving that particular tooth is concerned now.
Visible Swelling
Swelling has developed in your face, your jaw, or your gums, which can signal an abscess that needs treating right away rather than any later.
Broken Restoration
A crown, a filling, or a bridge has come loose or broken off, leaving the underlying tooth exposed and vulnerable to any sort of further damage.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “I cannot recommend Dr. Sanaz Yousefi and the entire team at Gardena Dental Group highly enough! After an accident left me with chipped teeth, I was anxious about the outcome, but Dr. Yousefi worked her magic to not only match the color perfectly but also restore them so beautifully that no one can tell they were ever damaged. The result was truly amazing! Additionally, their responsiveness in an emergency was exceptional. Despite the urgency of my situation, they scheduled me on the same day, which was a huge relief. The entire process was smooth, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind throughout. Thank you, Dr. Yousefi and Gardena Dental Group, for your excellent care and kindness. It's clear you all genuinely care about your patients, and it shows in every interaction. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!” — Hooman

- 5 out of 5 stars. “As a child I was traumatized by a dentist, so going to the dentist was a horrifying feeling. Then I had no choice; I broke a tooth and had to go to the dentist. I went to a few dentists but I never went back a second time. Here at Gardena Dental Group, everyone was so caring and understanding of my trauma. I had a great experience and was so happy with the results. I will definitely be going back to Gardena Dental Group whenever I need a dentist. Thank you everyone at Gardena Dental Group for your patience and understanding of my phobia.” — Grace
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Came in for the first time to this office for an exam. The office inside is nice and clean, with smiling faces from the staff all around. As they left me in the room to await my exam they were kind enough to give me the remote to watch some Netflix. For the exam I had Dr. Saz checking my teeth and taking pictures. He took the time to explain everything as he went through the x-rays and pictures. He was very kind and patient, and as someone who has anxiety when going to dentist, it was definitely appreciated. Before leaving, he made sure to ask if I had any questions and left me with a nice little dental traveling kit. Afterward, Jessica, the patient care coordinator, broke down my treatment plan and explained the associated costs and what my insurance was covered. It helps having someone like Jessica explain it all, because otherwise I'd be lost. She was very thorough and left me prepared for my next appointments.” — James
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Such a great dental office I seriously recommend this place to everyone! From the moment you walk in everyone is so friendly and respectful and knowledgable! Also the place is always clean and tidy! My dental hygienist was Manny and he was very patient and very kind. He communicated so well with me throughout my whole cleaning process and I felt way less nervous and scared! My dentist was Nathan and he is young but so experienced! I was the type that HATED coming to the dentist but I realized it was the dentist office I use to go to that made me dread dentists! This place is one of a kind and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone! 5/5 stars 🤗” — Pau
