Emergency Dental Care
Our emergency dental services provide patients in Ashburn, VA with fast, compassionate care for unexpected dental issues, helping relieve pain and prevent further complications. When you or a family member experiences sudden tooth pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth, or an oral injury, our team is here to help when every minute matters.
Any oral pain, swelling, or condition that puts your dental health at risk should be treated as a dental emergency. Don't wait — prompt care relieves pain, prevents complications, and protects your smile. Many emergencies can be avoided with regular general dentistry visits. If infection is involved, our gum disease treatment may also be recommended. Not sure if it's an emergency? Contact our office and a team member will help assess your symptoms right away.
Intense, persistent tooth pain that interferes with eating, sleeping, or daily life is a sign something is seriously wrong — call us immediately for relief.
Store the tooth in saliva or milk and call us right away. Time is critical — with fast treatment, we can sometimes reset the tooth back into the socket.
A fractured tooth can expose the nerve and worsen rapidly. We'll assess the damage and restore your tooth with the appropriate treatment the same day.
Swelling in the jaw or face often signals a dental abscess — a serious infection that can spread. This is a true dental emergency requiring immediate care.
A missing crown or filling leaves your tooth exposed and vulnerable to pain and further damage. We'll restore protection quickly to keep your tooth safe.
Sports injuries, accidents, or falls that affect your teeth, gums, or jaw require prompt evaluation. We treat patients of all ages with gentle, expert care.
Not sure if it's an emergency? When in doubt, call us. A knowledgeable team member can help evaluate your symptoms over the phone and guide you on whether you need to come in right away. We'd always rather you call than wait and let a problem worsen.
Our Approach
Dental emergencies can be frightening and disruptive. Our approach is simple: assess your situation as quickly as possible, ease your pain first, then restore your oral health. Our dedicated team will be with you every step — explaining what's happening, what to expect, and making sure you feel calm and cared for throughout.
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, we perform gentle same-day extractions to eliminate the source of pain and prevent further complications.
Cracked, broken, or damaged teeth are assessed and restored with crowns, fillings, or bonding to protect the tooth and restore normal function quickly.
When infection reaches the tooth's pulp, root canal therapy relieves pain, eliminates infection, and saves the tooth — often in a single appointment.
When a tooth cannot be saved, we'll discuss all replacement options — implants, bridges, or partial dentures — to restore your smile and protect your oral health.
When We Can't Save Your Tooth
If a tooth must be removed due to injury, deep decay, or a failed root canal, replacing it promptly is essential to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and protect your long-term oral health. We offer three proven solutions.
The gold standard in tooth replacement — a titanium post fuses with your jawbone to support a custom ceramic crown that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural tooth. Lasts a lifetime with proper care.
Learn About Implants →A proven, time-tested solution that fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring to healthy neighboring teeth with custom crowns. Faster than implants with natural-looking results.
Learn About Bridges →Custom-crafted partial dentures can replace one or several missing teeth with a comfortable, removable restoration designed to blend naturally with your remaining teeth and restore your smile.
Learn About Dentures →Prevention
While we treat dental emergencies fast and compassionately, we'd much rather help you avoid one altogether. Many dental emergencies are preventable with consistent, proactive care. Here's how to protect yourself and your family:
Schedule regular checkups — Visiting POSH Smiles every six months lets us catch small problems before they become painful emergencies. Most emergencies we treat could have been prevented with routine care.
Brush and floss consistently — Brushing twice daily and flossing once keeps decay and gum disease at bay — the two most common causes of dental emergencies.
Wear a mouthguard during sports — A custom-fitted mouthguard from our office provides far superior protection against dental trauma compared to over-the-counter options.
Wear a nightguard if you grind — Bruxism (teeth grinding) is a leading cause of cracked teeth. A custom nightguard protects your teeth while you sleep and prevents many emergency situations.
Ask about our membership plan — Our exclusive in-house membership plan makes preventive care affordable for uninsured patients so cost is never a barrier to protecting your smile.
Common Questions
Act quickly — time is critical. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If you can't, store it in a cup of your own saliva or milk to keep it moist. Call us immediately at (703) 688-2323. The sooner you come in, the better the chances we can reattach the tooth.
Yes. We do everything we can to see dental emergency patients the same day they call. If you're in pain or experiencing a dental emergency, call our office at (703) 688-2323 right away and a team member will work to get you seen as quickly as possible. Don't wait — most dental emergencies worsen with time.
Any dental problem causing significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or involving a knocked-out or broken tooth should be treated as an emergency. Signs that warrant immediate care include: severe tooth pain that won't subside, visible swelling in the jaw or face, a loose or knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth with sharp pain, or a lost crown or filling causing pain. When in doubt, call us — we'd rather you check in and find out it can wait than suffer needlessly.
