If you have broken a tooth, developed sudden dental pain, or something simply doesn't feel right, call Alpers Family and Cosmetic Dentistry at (480) 998-3355.

Dental Emergencies We Can Help With
Sometimes you know right away that you need a dentist. Other times, you're staring at a chipped tooth or dealing with pain that keeps getting worse and wondering whether it actually counts as a dental emergency.
If you're concerned, call us. Our Scottsdale dental team can help you determine what makes sense based on what's happening.
Emergency dental services may be appropriate for concerns such as significant tooth pain, a chipped or broken tooth, a damaged restoration, dental trauma, or another sudden change that needs prompt attention.
Our office handles general, restorative and cosmetic emergency cases, so you can feel at ease knowing you’re in good hands. Our first priority is to understand what happened, get you comfortable, and determine what needs to happen next.
Getting to the Cause of Your Dental Emergency
Getting you out of pain matters, but we also want to understand why you're hurting.
A painful or broken tooth can have several possible causes, and what you feel doesn't always tell us the whole story. Our team will evaluate the area and use diagnostic imaging when appropriate to understand what's happening beneath the surface.
From there, we'll explain what we see and walk you through your options. Depending on the problem, treatment might involve repairing or protecting a damaged tooth, addressing infection or decay, or removing a tooth when it cannot be predictably saved.
You won't be expected to make a decision without understanding what's going on first.
Emergency Care With Your Long-Term Health in Mind
When your tooth hurts, it's understandable to want the fastest possible solution. We want relief for you too, but we also don't want a short-term fix to create another problem later.
Our approach to emergency dentistry is the same thoughtful, conservative approach we bring to the rest of your care. Whenever possible, we want to preserve healthy tooth structure and recommend treatment that makes sense for your long-term oral health.
If your emergency uncovers a larger dental issue, we'll explain it clearly. We'll talk about what needs attention now, what can wait, and what options you have so you can make an informed decision without feeling pressured.

Clinic FAQs
Have questions? We’ve got you covered
Can I get a same-day emergency dental service in Scottsdale?
If you need immediate dental treatment, call our Scottsdale office at (480) 998-3355. We work hard to accommodate emergency requests so we can evaluate the problem, help alleviate your discomfort, and prevent further complications when possible.
Because availability can vary from day to day, calling us directly is the best way to find out how quickly we can see you.
What should I do if I break or chip a tooth?
Call us so we can determine how quickly the tooth should be evaluated. A small chip and a badly fractured tooth can require very different treatment, and it's not always possible to tell how much damage has occurred just by looking at it yourself.
Until you're seen, avoid chewing on the affected tooth. If you've recovered a piece of the tooth, keep it and bring it with you to your appointment.
Should I see an emergency dentist for severe tooth pain?
Significant or worsening tooth pain is a good reason to call a dentist promptly. Tooth pain can have different causes, and determining the source is important before deciding how it should be treated.
Dr. Alpers can examine the tooth and use diagnostic imaging when appropriate to determine what's happening and explain your treatment options. Even if you’re traveling, if you’re in pain, we recommend a quick trip to be seen for emergency dental services.
What treatments can an emergency dentist provide?
The treatment you need depends on what's causing the emergency. Alpers Dentistry provides restorative and surgical services including fillings, dental crowns, tooth extractions, dental implants, and other treatments that may be appropriate depending on your diagnosis.
The first step is an examination. We want to understand the problem before recommending how to fix it.
