What Our Clients Say
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma to the teeth and gums that requires immediate medical attention. Common emergencies include a knocked-out tooth, a severe abscess or infection, a cracked or broken tooth causing pain, or a lost filling or crown that leaves a nerve exposed. If you are in pain and cannot wait, it is an emergency.
Yes. At Dental Line, we reserve time in our daily schedule specifically for patients in urgent need. We understand that dental pain can be unbearable, so we prioritize getting you into a chair as quickly as possible. In most cases, if you call us in the morning, we can see you the same day to diagnose the issue and provide immediate pain relief.
Yes! We are one of the few dental offices in Encino and the San Fernando Valley with Sunday availability. We know that dental emergencies don’t just happen during “standard” business hours. If you experience a toothache or injury over the weekend, you don’t have to wait until Monday morning in pain—contact us immediately for Sunday care.
Time is critical—you typically have a 30- to 60-minute window to save the tooth. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the chewing surface), never the root. Gently rinse it with water if it’s dirty, but do not scrub it. Try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in a small container of milk or saliva. Call us immediately or head straight to our Ventura Blvd office.
The cost depends on the type of treatment needed to stabilize your condition (e.g., a filling, root canal, or extraction). We provide transparent pricing and will give you a clear estimate before any work begins. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible financing to ensure you can get the relief you need without worrying about the immediate cost.
If you have a life-threatening emergency, such as a fractured jaw or swelling that makes it difficult to breathe or swallow, go to the ER immediately. However, for tooth-specific issues like a broken tooth or severe toothache, a dentist is better equipped to treat the root cause. ERs generally do not have dentists on staff and can only provide pain medication or antibiotics rather than fixing the tooth itself.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Irena Starchenko is an expert at handling urgent restorative cases with a calm and gentle touch. Our office is equipped with advanced digital X-rays and 3D imaging to find the source of your pain instantly. Combined with our rare Sunday hours and same-day commitment, we provide the fastest path to relief in Encino.
