Know the signs
What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any mouth or tooth problem that needs prompt care to stop bleeding, ease severe pain, save a tooth, or treat a spreading infection. Common examples include a knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth, a dental abscess, or bleeding that won’t stop.
Emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. Whether you have severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental injury, our team provides prompt, compassionate emergency care for patients in Plantation, Sunrise, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, and across Broward County.
If you’re not sure whether it’s an emergency, call (954) 472-2000. Quick advice can protect your tooth.

Cost & insurance
How much does emergency dental care cost?
Emergency care in Plantation often costs less than people expect. The emergency exam is free, and the rest depends on the treatment — a temporary filling costs far less than a root canal or extraction.
We accept most dental insurance, verify your benefits, and file claims for you. Before we start, you get a clear estimate, so cost never delays the care you need.
What affects the cost
- The treatment needed (repair, root canal, extraction)
- Whether X-rays or a temporary restoration are needed
- Your insurance benefits
- Sedation, if you choose it
Payment options
Most insurance accepted, plus flexible payment plans with 0% interest options for patients without insurance.
