Call Us Right Away If You:
✓ Have severe or worsening tooth pain
✓ Knocked out or broke a tooth

Why Choose Summit
Same-Day Appointments
When you’re in pain, waiting isn’t an option — we do our best to see you the same day.
A 24-Hour Emergency Line
Call the main number any time for guidance on how to reach our doctors.
A Team That Knows You
You’re not a stranger in a walk-in clinic — you’re part of the Summit family.
We Treat, Not Just Triage
We can relieve your pain and handle the problem, not just send you elsewhere.
What to Do Right Now
- Knocked-out tooth: handle it by the crown (not the root), keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us immediately — time matters.
- Broken or chipped tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces, and use a cold compress for swelling.
- Toothache: rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove trapped food — don’t place aspirin directly on the gum.
- Lost filling or crown: keep it if you can, avoid chewing on that side, and call us to get it re-secured.
How a Visit Works
- Call us — day or night — and we’ll guide you.
- We get you in, often the same day.
- We relieve your pain and diagnose the problem.
- We plan any follow-up care, at your pace.
Common Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, signs of infection, or a lost filling or crown all warrant a call.
What do I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Handle it by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us right away — seeing us quickly gives the best chance of saving it.
Will I be seen the same day?
We reserve time for emergencies and do our best to see you the same day.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
It depends on what’s needed. We’ll be upfront about costs and help with insurance and payment options.
What if it’s after hours?
Call the main office number — our 24-hour line has instructions for reaching a doctor.
