What Counts as a Dental Emergency

If you're in real pain, can't sleep, can't chew, have visible swelling, or have a tooth that's been knocked loose or knocked out — that's an emergency. Same goes for a lost crown or filling, or a broken tooth that's sharp or sensitive. Call 928-289-4441 and we'll get you in.

What Happens When You Get Here

We start with a quick exam and digital x-ray to see what's going on under the surface. Dr. Gardner will get straight to the point and tell you whether your tooth can be saved with a root canal and crown, or whether extraction makes more sense. You'll get the plan and the price before treatment begins — no surprise bills.

When Treatment Has to Wait

If a tooth is too infected to numb properly, we'll start you on antibiotics for a few days, get the infection under control, and bring you back to finish the work safely. We'd rather get it right than rush it. You'll go home with a clear plan and the medication you need to feel better in the meantime.

Common Questions

What is same-day dental pain relief?

Same-day pain relief means we evaluate and treat your dental emergency the day you call (or the next day) — toothache, broken tooth, swelling, lost crown. Winslow Dental sees both established patients and the public, with an after-hours line that goes directly to Dr. Gardner.

How much does emergency dental care cost in Winslow, AZ?

It depends on what your tooth needs. We'll give you ballpark pricing before any treatment starts and walk through your insurance coverage and payment options. We accept CareCredit and offer in-house payment plans. Visit our Finances & Insurance page for details.

Does emergency treatment hurt?

Dr. Gardner has a reputation for being unusually good at getting patients numb. Most emergency treatment is genuinely comfortable once we have you anesthetized. For longer or more involved procedures, oral sedation and nitrous oxide are available. Tell us if you're nervous — we adjust the plan.
