What Sets Us Apart Why People See Us for Emergency Dental Needs
One-Stop-Shop
Many practices have to refer patients out for complex emergency dental problems. Our dentists at both of our Spring, TX, offices are prepared to handle virtually any dental emergency in-house. Under our care, people with dental emergencies don't have to shuttle from office to office.
Advanced Technology
We spare no expense when it comes to advanced dental technology. For example, many dental emergencies require crowns. Our dentists have invested in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology that allows us to solve a dental crisis by providing same-day crowns.
Soothing Sedation
Dental emergencies are often painful. We do not want patients to experience any excess suffering once they step into one of our Spring locations. To heighten relaxation and prevent pain, our skilled dentists offer a number of sedation dentistry options. Depending on your needs, you can receive minimal sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia.

Both luxury amenities and our empathetic team help make emergency dental situations as comfortable and calm as possible. We have been a pillar of the greater Houston community for years, and consistently add new patients to our dental family who are often referred by current patients.
Each of our dentists brings decades of experience, training, and skill to meet virtually any patient need. Drs. Robert Gatewood and Todd Swann honed their dental abilities during their years of service in the Navy and Army respectively. Dr. Jack Stephens graduated in the top 10% of his class at Houston’s University of Texas Dental School, and Dr. Christopher Pagano's professional honors include recognition of proficiency by the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology.

I had to have an emergency root canal on the very back tooth. (Hard to keep your mouth open enough). Dr. Swan was so patient as well as his assistant. I’ve had three different dentists here over the years and everyone is so attentive to your comfort and safety.

Our emergency dentists can handle nearly any emergency dental situation. The following are some treatments we can administer:
Cracks, chips, and other dental trauma can weaken a tooth and expose it to further damage or infection. We provide same-day crowns that can restore your natural teeth or replace damaged restorations. The durable crowns we offer can also help you avoid future dental emergencies.
Most people need a filling at least once in their life. If decay or cracking is causing your dental emergency, our dental fillings can replace decayed tissue and prevent further decay. Many patients who experience dental emergencies are surprised at how simple and convenient our fillings procedures are.
Sometimes the best solution for a dental emergency is removing teeth. Although we will always try to save a tooth, you can count on us for gentle and precise care if extraction becomes necessary. We also offer solutions like dental implants and dentures to replace teeth.
In many cases, a root canal infection is the cause of severe toothaches, swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity. This procedure is often associated with further pain and discomfort. We pride ourselves on performing root canal therapy that our patients say feels just the same as a simple tooth filling.
Payment Options
An emergency dental situation needs prompt attention, not time wasted worrying about the cost of care. In a dental emergency, the last thing our dentists want you to worry about is cost.
We work to make our emergency dental care affordable in two ways:
Insurance
We accept most major insurance plans. Our experienced dental team can help navigate insurance issues and can work directly with your insurer to help you gain the most coverage of your care.
Financing
Our emergency dentists have decided to accept multiple forms of third-party financing, which allow our patients to pay for dental work in affordable installments. Choices include CareCredit®, Compassionate Finance™and Wells Fargo.
