Emergency Dentistry in Spearfish, SD
Prompt, Compassionate Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times — but having a trusted local team makes all the difference. At Orchard Meadows Family Dental & Denture Clinic in Spearfish, we offer same-day care whenever possible and prioritize getting you out of pain and back to feeling like yourself.
Whether it’s a chipped tooth from a fall, a sudden toothache, or swelling you can’t ignore, we’re here with calm guidance, honest answers, and real solutions.
What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
If you’re in pain or something just doesn’t feel right, we encourage you to call. Common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Knocked-out or loose teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face
- Lost or damaged fillings, crowns, or other restorations
- Abscesses or infections
- Oral injuries from sports or accidents
Even if you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, our team is happy to help you assess the situation and schedule you quickly if care is needed.
Same-Day Appointments Available
When possible, we offer same-day emergency appointments for both new and existing patients. We know how stressful it can be to wait in pain, and our smaller team in Spearfish allows us to move quickly and provide individualized care.
If the issue can’t be fully resolved in one visit, we’ll provide a temporary solution to ease discomfort and create a clear treatment plan for follow-up care.
Emergency Care Without Sedation
While our Spearfish location does not offer sedation dentistry, most emergency dental treatments can be performed comfortably using local anesthetic. We take time to explain every step and adjust to your comfort level. For patients who may require sedation, we can coordinate with our Rapid City office or refer to a trusted provider.
Common Emergency Treatments
Depending on your specific needs, we may provide:
- Tooth extractions for non-restorable teeth
- Chipped/cracked tooth repair using bonding, fillings, or crowns
- Root canal therapy for infected or damaged teeth
- Replacement of lost fillings or crowns
- Guidance for home care if swelling or pain occurs after hours
We’ll also walk you through afte
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Gently rinse the tooth (without scrubbing), keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us immediately. Acting quickly increases the chance of saving the tooth.
Can I go to the ER for dental pain?
Hospital emergency rooms can help manage serious infections or trauma but typically do not treat dental issues directly. For dental-specific emergencies, we’re your best first call.
What if I have swelling or signs of infection?
Swelling, especially if accompanied by fever or pain, can indicate an infection and needs prompt attention. Call us right away for evaluation and treatment.
Do you accept walk-ins for dental emergencies?
While appointments are preferred, we do our best to accommodate urgent walk-ins based on availability. Calling ahead helps us prepare for your arrival.
Do I have to be a current patient to get emergency care?
No — we welcome new patients experiencing dental emergencies and will treat your immediate need with care and respect.
