When a dental emergency strikes, every minute counts. My Scottsdale Dentist provides immediate, same-day emergency dental care in Scottsdale, AZ. Save our number now — you never know when you’ll need us.
A dental emergency can happen to anyone, at any time — a sports injury, biting down on something hard, sudden severe pain that wakes you at 3 AM. When it happens, you need a Scottsdale emergency dentist who can see you the same day and provide expert treatment to save your tooth and relieve your pain.
At My Scottsdale Dentist, Dr. Steven H. Poulos, Dr. Erica Elannan, and Dr. Mike Wassef have more than 50 years of combined experience treating dental emergencies. We keep same-day appointment slots open specifically for emergency patients, so you never have to wait days in pain or settle for a trip to the ER.
When a dental emergency happens, many people instinctively head to the hospital emergency room. But for dental-specific emergencies, a dedicated emergency dentist in Scottsdale is almost always the better choice. Here’s why:
Emergency rooms handle medical emergencies first. A toothache or broken tooth will be triaged behind heart attacks, strokes, and broken bones. At My Scottsdale Dentist, you’re seen by a dentist who treats dental emergencies every day, with the specialized tools and materials needed to fix the problem — not just manage the pain.
ERs can prescribe antibiotics and painkillers, but they can’t re-cement a crown, splint a knocked-out tooth, or perform an emergency root canal. Our emergency dentists can. Quick action by a dental specialist often means the difference between saving and losing a tooth permanently.
An ER visit for a dental issue typically costs $500-$1,500+ and results in a referral to a dentist anyway. Coming directly to our Scottsdale emergency dental office means you get definitive treatment at a fraction of the cost, often in a single visit.
Knowing what to do in the first minutes after a dental emergency can save your tooth. Here are step-by-step instructions for the most common emergencies:
The longer you wait, the more complicated (and expensive) treatment becomes.
My Scottsdale Dentist provides emergency dental care for patients of all ages throughout Scottsdale and the surrounding communities. We serve patients from Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Tempe, Phoenix, and Mesa.
Our office is conveniently located at 9070 E Desert Cove Ave, Suite 105, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. We’re open Monday through Saturday with same-day emergency slots available every day we’re open.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. If cost is a concern, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and ScratchPay — so you never have to delay treatment due to finances. We also accept our MSD Dental Plan membership ($99/year) for patients without insurance.
New patients welcome. Most insurance accepted. Same-day appointments available for emergencies.
