Same-Day Emergency Dental Care in Gilbert — Call Today
When a dental emergency strikes — a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a knocked-out crown, or swelling and pain — the last thing you need is a week’s wait for an appointment. At the practice of Dr. Garza in Gilbert, emergency dental patients are worked into the schedule the same day whenever possible. Call us and the team will prioritize getting you seen and out of pain.
Same-day emergency care at this Gilbert dental practice isn’t a triage service — it’s definitive treatment. The clinical skill, technology, and in-office materials to address most dental emergencies completely — not just temporarily — are all present. If your broken tooth needs a CEREC crown, it can be placed today. If your infected tooth needs a root canal, it can be started or completed today. The goal is to solve the problem the day you walk in.
Severe Toothache
A toothache that is persistent, throbbing, or waking you at night is not a problem that will resolve on its own. It typically indicates pulp involvement — infection or irreversible inflammation inside the tooth — and requires intervention. Dr. Garza will diagnose the source, determine whether a root canal or extraction is the appropriate treatment, and complete or initiate that treatment the same day.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
A cracked or broken tooth can range from a minor enamel chip to a fracture through the cusp or root. For cracks and fractures that are restorable, Dr. Garza can assess the extent of damage, determine whether a filling, onlay, or crown is needed, and in most cases place a CEREC same-day restoration before you leave. For fractures below the gumline that cannot be saved, an extraction can be performed the same day with immediate guidance on replacement options.

Lost or Broken Crown
A lost or broken crown exposes the underlying prepared tooth to fracture and bacterial infiltration. This is not a wait-a-few-weeks situation. Dr. Garza’s office can assess the tooth, clean the margins, and in the vast majority of cases mill and place a new CEREC crown the same day the crown comes off — using the Garza/Crane crown removal instrument for controlled removal when needed.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is an acute bacterial infection that will not resolve without treatment. Signs include severe throbbing pain, visible swelling, fever, and a foul taste or smell. An abscess requires same-day attention — it can spread rapidly and, in severe cases, become a systemic medical emergency. Dr. Garza will drain the abscess, assess whether the tooth can be saved with a root canal or requires extraction, prescribe antibiotics if appropriate, and provide immediate relief.
Soft Tissue Injuries & Other Emergencies
Lacerations to the gums, lips, or cheeks; objects lodged between teeth; a broken dental appliance causing trauma — these are all situations the team at this Gilbert practice can address on an emergency basis. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, call anyway. The front desk will help you determine whether to come in today or schedule for the next available appointment.
Call First — We’ll Take Care of the Rest
Dental emergencies are stressful enough without the uncertainty of not knowing whether you’ll be seen today. At Dr. Garza’s Gilbert dental practice, the answer to that question is almost always yes — call (480) 539-7979 and the team will work to get you in the same day. Most PPO insurance plans cover emergency dental visits. If you arrive and the situation requires a same-day crown, extraction, or root canal, that treatment can almost always be initiated or completed in the same appointment.
