Emergency Dentistry
Same-day relief for tooth pain, chips, breaks and urgent dental problems.
In pain? We'll get you seen — fast
Dental emergencies never happen at a convenient time. Whether it's a severe toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, or a gum infection, Dr. Hernández and our team keep same-day appointments open so you're not left waiting in pain. We're trained to handle everything from extractions and root canals to fast pain relief — the goal is always to treat the problem quickly and stop it from becoming more serious.

Common questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or a broken or knocked-out tooth all warrant an urgent visit. When in doubt, call us.
Can you see me today?
We reserve same-day slots for emergencies whenever possible. Call (915) 235-0110 and we'll get you in.
What do I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Keep it moist — in milk or against your cheek — and get to us as quickly as possible. Time matters.
What if it's after hours?
Call our line for instructions. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 or go to the ER.
What should I do with a broken or chipped tooth?
Avoid biting down on that side and don't eat or drink anything that touches the area. Minor chips are often repaired with bonding or a filling; more significant breaks may need a crown. Call us right away either way.
How fast can I be seen?
We hold same-day openings for urgent needs like severe pain, a broken tooth, or swelling. Call our office — a real person answers, not a robot — and we'll get you in as quickly as possible, often within hours.

We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible financing. Call us and we’ll verify your coverage.
