Emergency dentist in Wasilla
Severe toothache, swelling, a broken tooth, or a lost crown? Same Day Dental provides prompt, compassionate emergency care with the goal of relieving pain and completing lasting treatment whenever possible.
We strive to make emergency appointments a priority and will make every effort to accommodate emergencies right away.
Help when you need it
Dental emergencies are stressful. Our team will listen to what happened, evaluate the area carefully, explain what we find, and prioritize getting you comfortable. When appropriate, we can often move directly from diagnosis to definitive treatment in the same office.
Common dental emergencies
If something hurts, feels swollen, broke unexpectedly, or prevents you from eating normally, call our office. We will help determine how quickly you should be seen.
Persistent, throbbing, or biting pain may be caused by decay, infection, a cracked tooth, or inflammation inside the tooth.
Early evaluation can help determine whether a damaged tooth can be repaired with bonding, a filling, a crown, or root canal treatment.
Facial swelling, gum swelling, drainage, fever, or a bad taste can indicate infection and should be evaluated promptly.
A missing restoration can leave a tooth sensitive or vulnerable. We can evaluate whether it can be recemented, repaired, or replaced.
Falls, sports injuries, and accidents can loosen, displace, fracture, or knock out teeth. Timing can be important.
We evaluate damaged dentures, loose implant restorations, broken prosthetic teeth, and other appliance concerns.

Our goal is to solve the immediate problem while protecting your long-term oral health.
Your emergency visit
Tell us when the problem started, what makes it worse, and what matters most to you today.
An examination, digital X-rays, photographs, or additional imaging help us identify the source of the problem.
Our first clinical priority is controlling pain and addressing urgent infection or injury.
You receive clear options, costs, and next steps. Same-day definitive treatment may be available depending on the diagnosis and schedule.
Comprehensive treatment
Emergency treatment should not automatically mean a referral or a temporary fix. Dr. Nicholas Boyce's advanced restorative, implant, and surgical training allows Same Day Dental to provide a broad range of care.
Why Same Day Dental?
We combine prompt access with comprehensive dentistry. That means considering whether the tooth can be saved, whether replacement is needed, how treatment fits your schedule, and how to reduce additional visits.
Trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial trauma, or other life-threatening symptoms require urgent medical evaluation.
Implant-focused residency experience in surgical dentistry, implants, sedation, and complex restorative treatment.
Digital imaging, scanning, and same-day restorative technology help us plan accurately and reduce unnecessary visits.
We explain what is urgent, what can wait, what each option accomplishes, and the expected costs before treatment.
Dental pain can make anyone anxious. We focus on communication, profound anesthesia, and appropriate comfort options.
Emergency FAQs
We reserve time for urgent problems whenever possible. Call early so our team can assess your symptoms and find the soonest appropriate opening.
Many painful or damaged teeth can be restored. The answer depends on the amount of remaining tooth structure, infection, bone support, cracks, and your long-term goals.
Often we can, but it depends on the diagnosis, treatment complexity, your medical history, and the time available that day.
Most toothaches require a dentist for definitive treatment. Hospital emergency departments are appropriate for significant facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly worsening swelling.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing. Place it back in the socket if possible or keep it moist in milk, and call a dentist immediately.
Do not spend another night in pain
Our team will help determine how urgently you need to be seen and work to provide the right next step.
