Relief Starts With a Clear Plan
Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure what’s causing the problem. Emergency visits focus on identifying the source of the issue and relieving discomfort in a controlled, thoughtful way.
Clear explanations help you understand what’s happening and what needs to be addressed first.
Fast Evaluation
Urgent care doesn’t mean rushed care. Dr. Coffey takes time to assess the situation, review imaging if needed, and explain options clearly.
The goal is to stabilize the issue and make informed decisions—not pressure you into treatment.
One Location for All Dental Care
Because Madison Dental Studio provides comprehensive care in-house, many emergency issues can be treated and followed through without outside referrals.
This continuity helps keep care organized and reduces additional appointments during an already stressful situation.
We Work with Insurance
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue that causes pain, swelling, injury, or sudden changes to your teeth or gums. These situations often need prompt evaluation to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Tooth pain or swelling that doesn’t improve
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth after an injury
- Knocked-out or loose teeth
- Signs of infection, including abscesses or facial swelling
- Lost fillings or crowns that expose the tooth
- Gum injuries or bleeding that won’t stop
Not every dental concern feels urgent at first. If something feels off or uncomfortable, calling the office allows us to help you decide the next best step before the situation escalates.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knowing what to do right away can make a difference.
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency:
- Call our office as soon as possible
- Describe what you’re feeling and when it started
- Let us know if swelling, trauma, or severe discomfort is present
Our team will help determine how urgent your situation is and provide guidance until you arrive. Clear instructions help protect your tooth, reduce discomfort, and prevent further damage before treatment.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
Initial Call and Scheduling
Your visit begins with a phone call. We’ll ask a few focused questions to understand your symptoms and determine how quickly you need to be seen. When you call before 3 pm, same-day appointments are often available.
This step helps prioritize care and reduce unnecessary waiting.
Focused Exam and Imaging
Once you arrive, Dr. Coffey examines the affected area and may take digital X-rays to identify the cause of the problem. The goal is to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—not just treat symptoms.
Clear imaging allows for more accurate decisions and fewer surprises.
Stabilization and Relief
Emergency treatment focuses on addressing the immediate concern. This may include relieving discomfort, stabilizing a damaged tooth, or managing infection to prevent the issue from progressing.
Care is deliberate and focused on helping you feel better first.
Clear Next Steps
After the urgent issue is addressed, Dr. Coffey explains what was found and what follow-up care may be needed. Timing, options, and cost estimates are reviewed before moving forward.
You leave knowing what to expect, not wondering what comes next.
