Emergency Treatments We Handle In-House

One of the biggest frustrations with urgent dental care is being told the office can’t treat your problem and sending you somewhere else. We work to keep that from happening. Our full-service practice handles the complete range of emergency treatments without referrals:

  • Emergency root canals: When deep decay or infection causes severe pain, a root canal removes the source and helps protect the tooth.
  • Tooth extractions: When a tooth can’t be saved, we can remove it and discuss replacement options the same day.
  • Dental crowns: A cracked or broken tooth can often be capped and stabilized during your emergency visit.
  • Fillings: Lost or broken fillings leave exposed tooth structure that’s sensitive and vulnerable. We replace them promptly.
  • Dental bonding: Chips and minor fractures can frequently be repaired with bonding in a single appointment.
  • Gum treatments: Abscesses and gum infections require immediate attention to help prevent spread to surrounding tissue.

We use current dental technologies to diagnose quickly and treat accurately. Whether you’re dealing with a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess, or a lost crown, we can handle it here.

How to Know If You Have a Dental Emergency

Not every dental problem needs same-day care, but some genuinely do. Knowing the difference helps you act quickly when it counts.

Situations that need same-day attention:

  • Severe or throbbing tooth pain that doesn’t subside
  • A knocked-out permanent tooth
  • Swelling in the mouth, jaw, or face (a possible sign of abscess or spreading infection)
  • Uncontrolled bleeding from the gums or a tooth socket
  • A broken tooth with sharp edges or an exposed nerve

Situations that can typically wait one to two days:

  • A small chip or crack with no pain
  • A lost crown or filling with manageable sensitivity
  • A dull, intermittent ache

A knocked-out permanent tooth has the best chance of being saved if you reach a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes. Keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it in your cheek during transport. Facial swelling that reaches the jaw, neck, or eye area, or that makes breathing or swallowing difficult, may signal a spreading infection requiring an emergency room rather than a dental office. Call 911 or go to the ER first in that situation.

What Happens When You Call with a Dental Emergency

When you call, we assess the situation and can get you scheduled as quickly as we can. You’ll be paired with a hygienist and doctor you’re already comfortable with, so there’s no time lost catching up on your history. Before any procedure begins, we explain what we’re seeing and walk through your options. If you’re in significant pain, we can address immediate comfort while we finalize the plan. Dr. Kayla Slatton, DDS, has handled same-morning emergency calls and resolved them in a matter of hours. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

An Established Grand Blanc Practice Behind Every Emergency Visit

There’s a real difference between a walk-in urgent care clinic and an established family dental practice that also handles emergencies. When your emergency is addressed here, follow-up restorative work can happen under the same roof, with the same doctors, without coordinating with another provider.

    "If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs. Werschky and Lewis!"
    I had a filling that came out. I was near the office and stopped in to see when I could get an appointment to get the tooth fixed. Sit down Rod and we’ll get you in shortly, was their reply. I was in the chair and getting my tooth fixed before I knew it. It was Monday and I know how Mondays are for anyone. I don’t and did not expect to get in so quick, but Drs Werschky and Lewis and the staff are so concerned about their patients I was not totally surprised. Thanks, If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs Werschky and Lewis!

    "Their kindness goes beyond routine pleasantries."

    Growing up as the youngest in a large family of six, and with finances often stretched thin, dental care simply wasn’t a priority for my hardworking parents. Because of that, getting fillings at age 54 was an entirely new experience for me. I’ll admit, I approached the appointment with a little apprehension. Thankfully, the staff here are exceptional. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness goes beyond routine pleasantries. They truly listen and engage in a way that feels sincere and personal. And the big question everyone asks: pain? None. Seriously. The most uncomfortable moment I had was when a stray beard hair got tugged. They explained every step clearly, checked in often, and made sure I felt in control throughout the process. What stands out most is the atmosphere. The team clearly enjoys working together. The laughter, friendliness, and professionalism speak volumes about how well this practice is run.

    "My comfort during the procedures was always a high priority."
    I have had extensive dental care with this practice since moving to Flint in 1996. Much of the work was major, and the reason for each procedure was always explained so I could understand why it was necessary. Also, my comfort during the procedures was always a high priority to Dr. Werschky and his assistants.
