Additional Information:

Emergency patients are seen from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Saturday. There is sometimes a wait to see the acute care provider if we have multiple walk-ins. In that case, we see patients based on the severity of their dental problems. Emergent dental situations are typically addressed on the same day. Other, less emergent issues such as chipped teeth or fillings, or other dental procedures that require an extended amount of time may be asked to return for a future scheduled appointment.

Our providers can place dental implants depending on the case's complexity and patient needs. We also work with outside specialists for more complicated implant cases. Generally, patients need to have all basic dental needs addressed and their dental health stabilized before initiating implant treatments. Dental implants can be a time-intensive process, typically taking several months or even a year before the final prosthetic is delivered after the initial surgeries. This ensures proper integration of dental implants and makes for more long-lasting and successful treatment outcomes.
