What Dental Emergency Do You Have?
Select your situation below to see exactly what to do right now.
Severe Tooth Pain
Pain keeping you up at night or preventing eating usually signals infection, deep decay, or a cracked nerve. It will not resolve on its own.
Do this now: Call (818) 593-0700. Same-day exam $45.
→ Same-Day ExamKnocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical — best outcomes within 30 minutes. Hold by the crown, NOT the root. Store in milk or saliva. Do not scrub.
Do this now: Call immediately while driving in.
→ Call ImmediatelyBroken or Cracked Tooth
A fracture exposing the nerve becomes intensely painful fast. Bacteria enter and infection develops within hours. Same-day repair prevents escalation.
Do this now: Walk in or book same-day.
→ Same-Day RepairSwelling or Abscess
Facial swelling, throbbing pain, fever, or a bad taste means infection. A dental abscess can spread to the jaw, neck, or airway if untreated.
If swelling affects breathing: Go to the ER first, then call us.
→ Emergency Visit TodayLost Crown or Filling
An exposed tooth is sensitive, vulnerable to bacteria, and can crack further. We re-cement or replace most crowns and fillings the same day.
Do this now: Book same-day or walk in.
→ Same-Day ReplacementBleeding or Trauma
Persistent bleeding after trauma, extraction, or injury requires evaluation. Apply gentle pressure and come in. Gum lacerations are treated same-day.
Do this now: Walk in or call ahead.

Same-day care, honest pricing, and a doctor who treats you personally — not a rotating resident.
Phones Answered 24/7
Most dental offices only take calls during business hours. Our 24/7 scheduling line means you reach a real person at 2am on a Sunday, not a voicemail asking you to call back Monday.
Walk-Ins Always Welcome
No appointment needed. If you are in pain, come in. We hold same-day slots specifically for emergency patients. You will not be told to wait two weeks.
$45 Emergency Exam
Comprehensive evaluation including digital X-rays. All treatment options and costs presented before any work begins. No surprise bills. No pressure to proceed.
Dr. Elzayat Treats You Personally
USC-trained, FICOI-credentialed with 20+ years of experience. Every emergency patient is seen by Dr. Elzayat directly — not a resident, not a rotating associate.
Sedation Available
Nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation available for anxious patients. Dental emergencies are stressful enough — we make sure you are comfortable throughout your treatment.
Complete Care In-House
Extractions, root canals, temporary crowns, abscess drainage, and bonding repairs — all completed in-house. No referrals for the vast majority of emergencies.
Dental Emergencies We Treat Same-Day
From severe toothaches to knocked-out teeth, we handle the full range of dental emergencies in-house — no referrals needed.
Severe Toothache
A toothache that keeps you up at night usually signals pulp infection, deep decay, or a cracked tooth. Dr. Elzayat diagnoses the cause with digital X-rays and Cone Beam 3D imaging when indicated, then treats the same day. All options are presented clearly before any treatment begins.
Dental Abscess and Infection
A dental abscess will not resolve without treatment. Symptoms include throbbing pain, swelling, warmth, a bad taste, and sometimes fever. Dr. Elzayat drains the abscess and prescribes antibiotics same-day. An untreated abscess can spread to the jaw, neck, or bloodstream — do not wait.
Broken or Fractured Tooth
Depending on fracture depth, treatment ranges from bonding and temporary crown placement to extraction and implant planning. Dr. Elzayat evaluates fracture extent with X-rays and determines the most conservative effective treatment the same day.
Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Tooth
Best outcomes for reimplantation occur within 30 minutes. Call (818) 593-0700 immediately while heading in. Store the tooth in milk or saliva. Dr. Elzayat evaluates reimplantation viability and performs the procedure in-house when clinically appropriate.
Lost Crown or Filling
An exposed tooth is vulnerable to bacteria, temperature sensitivity, and fracture. Most crowns can be re-cemented same-day. If a new crown is needed, a temporary is placed immediately while your permanent restoration is fabricated.
Emergency Root Canal
When infection reaches the pulp, root canal treatment stops the pain and saves the tooth. Dr. Elzayat performs root canals in-house using the J. Morita Tri Auto ZX2+ rotary endodontic system. No referrals to an outside endodontist. Emergency root canals begin same-day when clinically appropriate.
Emergency Extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved, Dr. Elzayat performs emergency extractions in-house with local anesthesia or sedation. Bone grafting for future implant placement can be discussed and often performed at the same appointment.

Call to Verify Your Benefits — (818) 593-0700Why Timing Matters — The Emergency Dental Timeline
Many dental emergencies worsen rapidly without treatment. Here is what the clinical evidence shows about delayed care.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Best window for successful reimplantation. Periodontal ligament cells remain viable. Come in immediately.
Dental Abscess
Infection is localized to the tooth and surrounding tissue. Drainage and antibiotics highly effective. Straightforward treatment.
Spreading Infection Risk
Bacteria begin migrating through fascial spaces. Swelling increases. Treatment complexity and cost rise significantly.
Cellulitis / Systemic Risk
Infection can reach the jaw, neck, or floor of the mouth. Ludwig's Angina — a potentially life-threatening airway infection — begins in this window for untreated cases.
Hospitalization Risk
Untreated spreading dental infections can require IV antibiotics and hospitalization costing $5,000–$30,000 — and still do not fix the tooth.
A $45 exam today can prevent a $15,000 hospitalization tomorrow. Call now.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency
Dentist North Hollywood
Getting Seen
Do I need an appointment for a dental emergency?
No. Walk-ins are always welcome. Come directly to 11335 Magnolia Blvd Suite #1a, North Hollywood. If you want to give us a heads-up, call (818) 593-0700 — available 24/7.
How quickly can I be seen?
Same-day and next-day slots are held specifically for emergency patients. Walk-in wait times vary by time of day — our team gives you an honest estimate the moment you arrive.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown, signs of infection, fever alongside tooth pain, or anything stopping you from eating, sleeping, or functioning normally. When in doubt, call us — we would rather you call and find out it can wait than delay something that can’t.
Can I go to the ER for tooth pain instead?
The ER can prescribe antibiotics and pain medication but cannot fix the dental problem. You will still need a dentist — and ER visits for dental issues typically cost $800–$3,000. Calling A-Dental Center is faster, more effective, and far less expensive.
Cost & Insurance
How much is the emergency exam?
$45, including digital X-rays and clinical evaluation. All treatment costs are presented before any work begins.
How much does emergency dental care cost without insurance?
Emergency exam: $45. Extractions: $200–$600. Root canals: $800–$1,500. Temporary crowns: $300–$500. Ask about our In-House Membership Plan and CareCredit/Cherry financing.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major PPO plans including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, and Humana. We verify benefits before your visit.
What if I have no dental insurance?
Ask about our In-House Dental Membership Plan — a flat annual rate covering essential care with no deductibles and no claim forms. Financing through CareCredit and Cherry is also available.
Specific Emergencies
What do I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick up by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently — no scrubbing. Try to reinsert into the socket. If not possible, store in milk or saliva. Call (818) 593-0700 immediately and come in. Best outcomes occur within 30 minutes.
Will an emergency dentist pull a tooth same day?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Saving the tooth is always the first priority — but when extraction is the best option, it is performed in-house the same day.
Is facial swelling a dental emergency?
Yes. Facial swelling from dental infection is serious and can progress rapidly. If swelling is affecting breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest ER immediately. For all other facial swelling, come directly to A-Dental Center.
What happens if a dental infection spreads?
An untreated dental abscess can spread to the jaw (Ludwig’s Angina), neck, airway, or bloodstream (sepsis). This is a life-threatening progression. Do not wait — call (818) 593-0700 or walk in now.
My crown fell off — is that an emergency?
It is urgent. The exposed tooth is sensitive, vulnerable to fracture, and open to bacteria. Call us and come in the same day. We re-cement or replace most crowns same-day.
Can a cracked tooth be saved?
Depends on the fracture type. Superficial cracks and chips are repaired with bonding or crowns. Vertical fractures through the root typically require extraction. Dr. Elzayat evaluates with X-rays and gives you an honest assessment on the spot.
Treatment & Comfort
Does emergency dental treatment hurt?
No. Dr. Elzayat numbs the area before any treatment. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is. Sedation is available for anxious patients.
Do you offer sedation for emergency procedures?
Yes. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation are available. Let our team know when you call or arrive. Your comfort is the first priority.
Can you do a root canal the same day?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Emergency root canal initiation is available same-day. Completion may require a follow-up appointment for the permanent filling and crown.
What if I haven't been to a dentist in years?
You are not alone — this is one of the most common situations we see. There is zero judgment at A-Dental Center. We focus on solving your current problem first, then discuss long-term care at a pace that works for you.
