Welcoming dental office prepared for emergency appointments

When to call us right away

Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess, a broken crown, or trauma to the mouth or jaw — all of these need urgent attention. Don't wait it out. The sooner we see you, the more likely we can save the tooth and stop the pain.

Knocked-out tooth? Do this now

Gently rinse the tooth — don't scrub it — and try to place it back in the socket if you can. If not, store it in milk or in your cheek (in saliva) and head straight to our office. The first 30–60 minutes are critical for re-implantation.

New patients welcome

You don't have to be an established patient. Call (570) 558-9900, tell us what's happening, and we'll guide you on what to do until you arrive. Our team handles emergencies with the same calm, compassionate approach we bring to every visit.

Ready when you are

A healthier, brighter smile starts with one easy visit.

New patients welcome. Most insurance accepted. Same-week emergency appointments available.
