Emergency and After-Hours Dental Care in Edmonton
Dental emergencies rarely happen when it’s convenient. Severe tooth pain, sudden trauma, or swelling can disrupt your day and create real anxiety, especially when you’re unsure what to do next. In many situations, time plays a critical role. For example, a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when treated within 30–60 minutes.
At Gallery Dental, we understand the urgency. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments for patients across Edmonton and nearby communities. Unlike many clinics, Dr. Sekhon personally answers or returns after-hours emergency calls, ensuring you receive calm guidance and immediate support from the moment you reach out.
Are You Experiencing a Dental Emergency?
If you’re unsure whether your situation requires urgent care, trust your instincts and call us.
You should seek same-day treatment if you experience:
Severe Pain
Throbbing discomfort that disrupts sleep or daily life
Dental Trauma
A knocked-out, loosened, broken, or fractured tooth
Uncontrolled Bleeding
Bleeding that doesn’t stop after 15–30 minutes of pressure
Signs of Infection
Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing
Lost Restorations
Missing fillings or crowns exposing sensitive tooth structure
Common Emergency Dental Conditions We Treat
Lost Tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown (top) only and keep it moist in milk or saliva. Seeking care within 30–60 minutes gives the best chance of saving your natural tooth. We prioritize rapid reimplantation whenever possible.
Severe Toothache
Persistent, throbbing pain or extreme sensitivity may signal a deep infection or abscess. Our first priority is relieving your discomfort, followed by precise diagnostics to determine whether root canal therapy or other treatment can preserve the tooth.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Even painless fractures require prompt care to prevent infection and further damage. Depending on severity, we may provide same-day CEREC crowns or bonding to restore strength and appearance in a single visit.
Dental Abscess
An abscess is a serious infection that can spread if untreated. Symptoms like swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing require urgent intervention. Emergency treatment may include antibiotics, drainage, and definitive restorative care.
Lost Filling or Crown
When a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth can become highly sensitive and vulnerable. Bring the restoration with you if possible. We can provide a temporary or permanent replacement to protect your tooth.
Advanced Technology for In-Clinic, Same-Day Diagnosis and Treatment
In emergencies, guesswork isn’t acceptable. We use advanced digital x-rays and iCat 3D imaging to quickly identify hidden fractures, infection severity, and structural damage. This technology allows us to diagnose with precision and begin treatment faster.
Dr. Sekhon’s Emergency Expertise
Emergency dentistry goes beyond treating symptoms! It requires thoughtful decision-making to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. Dr. Sekhon’s commitment to personally returning after-hours calls ensures you receive expert guidance from the moment you seek help.
Common Questions About Emergency Treatment
How much does emergency treatment cost?
Emergency treatment costs vary depending on your diagnosis and the procedure needed to relieve pain, from temporary restorations to root canal therapy or extraction.
Insurance & Financing
Unexpected dental issues can be financially stressful. Most insurance plans provide coverage for emergency care, and our team will assist with claims and benefit verification. Flexible financing options are also available so you can receive urgent treatment without delay.
How quickly can Gallery Dental see emergency patients?
We provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Call us immediately, and Dr. Sekhon will personally return after-hours calls if needed.
Will the emergency dentist extract my tooth or try to save it?
Saving natural teeth is always our priority. Extraction is considered only when preservation isn’t clinically possible as a last resort.
Can an emergency dentist perform a root canal the same day?
Yes. When infection requires immediate treatment, Dr. Sekhon can begin or complete root canal therapy during your emergency visit.
Should I go to the ER or dentist for severe tooth pain?
For most dental emergencies, an emergency dentist is best equipped to treat the underlying cause. However, if swelling affects breathing or bleeding cannot be controlled, seek hospital emergency care immediately.
