Emergency Dental Care FAQs

Does my insurance cover dental emergencies?

Insurance plans vary on a case by case basis regarding whether or not they cover urgent dental care. When you call us for your emergency appointment (or even during your regular dental visit), our emergency dentist in Ridgefield can look into your insurance coverage for you!

Should I visit the hospital for a dental emergency?

If you have experienced trauma to the head or neck, have severe bleeding, or other bodily trauma, we recommend that you visit the emergency room or your general physician ASAP before coming to us, even if your smile is also damaged.

Is it okay to pull a loose tooth myself?

If your child has a loose baby tooth, it is generally okay to pull it. However, if you or your child has a loose adult tooth, do not pull it. Please contact our office right away and we can help you preserve your adult tooth and prevent it from falling completely out.

I had wisdom teeth that desperately needed to be taken out. I expected the first appointment to be just a consultation, but they did full mouth x-rays and extracted both on the spot! I was in and out in just over one hour. Super friendly staff. I'll be back for regular appts!

I had a dental emergency & was a new patient, this office fit me in within 30 minutes, I had called another practice and they couldn't schedule me for a week even though their website said same day emergencies. The staff was so nice and made me feel comfortable right away! Thank you for caring!

I broke a tooth and was looking for a good dentist when I stumbled upon their Gift of Smiles! I was fortunate to get in on it and the Dr was able to fix my tooth! As soon as my new Insurance kicks in, I will go back for more work! You guys are Awesome! 🙂

I needed to have a cleaning scheduled asap for getting invisalign so I called Smiles Dental in Ridgefield. Surprisingly they were able to get me in the very next day. I ended up needing to get a filling and they were also able to get me in the very next day for that as well. I'm very impressed with how friendly and professional they were.
