When a dental emergency strikes, fast care can make all the difference. We provide same-day emergency dental appointments in Edmonton to help you get relief from urgent dental concerns like toothaches, broken teeth, swelling, and infections. If you are experiencing dental pain, broken teeth, or infection, call us right away at 780-540-5324 for fast triage and booking (walk-ins welcome during posted hours).

Who We Serve and Where We Are

We are a NW Edmonton clinic serving Schonsee, Lake District, and nearby communities with emergency services available five days a week, including weekends. Our Edmonton clinic is located at 16729 71 St NW, with phone number 780-540-5324 for emergency appointments.

How Fast Can You Get Seen?

Our emergency appointments can often be provided the same day, with evening and weekend options to reduce your wait and help fit your schedule. During your call, we will ask focused questions about your pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma, or fever to triage your case and direct you to the safest care as soon as possible.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

What counts as a true dental emergency we see the same day includes severe toothache that will not settle, facial swelling, a broken tooth with pain, bleeding that does not stop, or a knocked-out tooth. If you have swelling that is spreading or difficulty swallowing, call us so we can triage you quickly and recommend urgent care.

What Types of Dental Emergencies Do We Treat?

Common dental emergencies we handle include severe toothaches, jaw discomfort and swelling, broken fillings or crowns, chipped or fractured teeth, and root canal therapy for infected teeth. If you have a lost crown or broken tooth, bring any fragments or the restoration with you to your emergency visit. For a knocked-out tooth, call us immediately, time matters for a better outcome.

What Happens During a Same-Day Emergency Visit?

Same-day emergency visits at our clinic start with a fast triage followed by a focused exam to find the cause of your pain, with the goal of providing immediate relief and a safe plan forward. Depending on what we find during your exam, we may provide treatment on the same day or offer a temporary solution to calm symptoms and book you for follow-up care if needed. You will always leave your emergency visit knowing what happened, what we did that day, and what comes next.

Comfort and Support, Even When You Are Nervous

We offer sedation options for children and anxious patients to make emergency visits more comfortable. We are trained and equipped to deliver calm, patient-centred care for people of all ages, no matter how anxious or urgent the situation.
