Emergency dentistry
Urgent dental issues can feel overwhelming, especially when pain or swelling appears suddenly. At Altima Hess Village Dental Centre, we do our best to see emergency patients the same day and guide you through each step with calm, clear communication.
Our goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and reassured — from the moment you reach out until you know what comes next.
We can help with
- Toothaches or sudden pain
- Swelling or infection
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Injuries to teeth or gums
- Concerns that feel urgent or uncertain
A steady, supportive approach when you need it most
We listen first, assess the situation carefully, and explain every option in simple, honest terms. Whether you need short-term relief or treatment to address the underlying issue, we make sure you understand what’s happening and why.
What to expect during an emergency visit
Your appointment begins with a focused exam to identify the cause of your symptoms. We take any necessary images, review our findings with you, and outline the most predictable next steps. If treatment is needed right away, we explain it clearly and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
