Emergency Dental Care

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, you're welcome to call 321 Family Dental at (321) 254-0306, even if you've never been to our dental office before.

Our dentists leave time available in our schedule to accommodate patients experiencing tooth pain or other dental emergencies. Our goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as possible, and our dentists can offer same-day treatment in some cases.

Some dental emergencies we can help with are:

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Toothaches or abscessed teeth
  • Damaged or lost restorations (like fillings or crowns)
  • Cracked or broken dentures

Even if you don't see your condition listed here, please call our Melbourne dental office first. Our knowledgeable team members can assess your situation over the phone to determine if you need immediate attention or a future appointment.

Calling your emergency dentist first before heading to a hospital emergency room can save you time and money. Unfortunately, hospitals don't usually treat tooth emergencies and don't have the right equipment for them. So they will likely send you back to your dentist anyway.

It's difficult to say how much emergency dentistry in Melbourne, FL, might cost since every patient's needs differ. For example, one person having tooth pain may need a simple dental filling to eliminate tooth decay. In contrast, another having pain may need root canal treatment to eliminate a tooth infection. These two procedures would have different costs associated with them.

If you or a loved one is in pain or experiencing a dental emergency, we encourage you to call 321 Family Dental at (321) 254-0306 to determine your condition and the subsequent treatment steps.

If cost is a concern, we work with companies like CareCredit and Dentifits that offer third-party financing with affordable monthly payments for patients. CareCredit even has interest-free payments for qualified patients. 

321 Family Dental also offers an in-office dental membership plan that provides patients additional savings and discounts on treatment procedures for one low yearly membership fee. The benefits are available to you as soon as you sign up, and you can ask our team for additional details about the in-house membership plan if you have questions.

Our dentists never want financial concerns to keep patients from getting the dental care they need, especially during a dental emergency. Please don't wait to contact our Melbourne dental office. 

At 321 Family Dental, we make every effort to take care of emergency patients during business hours. However, if your emergency happens outside business hours, as they often do, you can still call our Melbourne dental office at (321) 254-0306. You will receive instructions on reaching our on-call dentist, who will assess your situation over the phone and determine if you need to be seen immediately. 

Our dentists can help with toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost restorations, broken dentures, and abscessed teeth. Some of the treatment they might recommend for you is:

  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Porcelain crowns or veneers
  • Root canal treatment
  • Tooth extractions
  • Dental implants

In some cases, our dentists can offer same-day treatment, depending on your needs. Our priority is to help you feel comfortable again as soon as possible and get you back to wellness.

If you or a loved one needs emergency dentistry in Melbourne, FL, please don't wait to contact 321 Family Dental. Tooth infections won't resolve on their own, and many tooth emergencies get worse and more painful the longer you wait to treat them. 

Even if you've never been to our dental office before, or if it's after hours, call us at (321) 254-0306 for prompt emergency dental care.

Sometimes, it is hard to know if you should seek dental treatment. Tooth pain or sensitivity are often sure indicators of a dental emergency. However, in some cases, it may not be as clear.
