Emergency Dentistry
Prompt, compassionate care when you need it most.
Experiencing a dental emergency? Call us immediately.
A dental emergency can happen at any time — a sudden toothache in the middle of the night, a tooth knocked out during a weekend game, a crown that falls off before an important event. At Omni Dental Studio in Riverview, FL, we prioritize emergency patients and do everything we can to see you the same day. Dr. Ariana Merchi and our team are trained to handle a wide range of urgent dental situations quickly, calmly, and with genuine compassion.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe or worsening pain, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling causing significant discomfort, or signs of infection such as swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us — we would rather help you assess it over the phone than have you wait and let a problem worsen. Some situations that seem minor, like a small chip with no pain, can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others, like a knocked-out tooth or a spreading infection, require immediate attention.
Who We Treat for Dental Emergencies
We treat emergency patients of all ages — children, adults, and seniors. You do not need to be an existing patient to be seen for an emergency. If you are in pain and need help, call us at (813) 586-1990 and we will do our best to get you in the same day. We understand that dental emergencies are stressful and often frightening, and our entire team is focused on making you feel calm, cared for, and informed from the moment you walk through the door.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Our team is experienced in treating a wide range of urgent dental situations. Severe toothaches are one of the most common — often caused by deep decay, a cracked tooth, or an abscess that has reached the nerve. We also treat knocked-out teeth (time is critical — the sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth), broken or fractured teeth, lost crowns or fillings, dental abscesses and infections, soft tissue injuries to the gums or lips, and orthodontic emergencies such as broken wires or brackets causing pain. Whatever brought you in, we will diagnose the problem, relieve your pain, and explain your treatment options clearly before proceeding.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
When you arrive for an emergency visit, our first priority is your comfort. We will get you seated quickly and assess your pain level. Dr. Merchi will examine the affected area, take any necessary X-rays to understand the full extent of the problem, and provide a diagnosis. If you are in significant pain, we will address that first — often with local anesthesia — before discussing treatment options. Depending on the nature of the emergency, treatment may be completed the same day (such as a filling, crown re-cementation, or abscess drainage) or a follow-up appointment may be scheduled for more involved procedures. You will leave with a clear understanding of what happened, what was done, and what the next steps are.
Cost of Emergency Dental Care in Riverview, FL
The cost of an emergency dental visit depends on what treatment is needed. An emergency exam and X-rays typically range from $75 to $200. If treatment is performed the same day — such as a filling, extraction, or temporary crown — those costs are added on top. Most dental insurance plans include some coverage for emergency visits, and we accept most major PPO plans including Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, United Concordia, Humana, Ameritas, Principal, Sun Life, and most other PPO plans. We will verify your benefits and give you a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins. For patients without insurance, our Smile Studio Club membership plan and CareCredit financing options are available to help manage costs.
Recovery and Aftercare After a Dental Emergency
Recovery after emergency dental treatment varies depending on the procedure. After a tooth extraction, you can expect some swelling and soreness for two to three days — Dr. Merchi will provide detailed post-operative instructions including dietary guidelines, how to care for the extraction site, and what warning signs to watch for. After a root canal or abscess treatment, mild soreness is normal for a few days and typically resolves with over-the-counter pain relievers. After a crown re-cementation or filling, you can usually eat normally once the anesthesia wears off. Whatever your emergency treatment involved, we will make sure you leave with clear written instructions and a way to reach us if you have questions during your recovery.
