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.

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.
