Dental emergencies are stressful, painful, and never happen at a convenient time. At Stephen Cheung DDS in Lodi, CA, we offer same-day emergency dental care so you can get the relief you need - fast. Whether you're dealing with a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, an infection, or a knocked-out tooth, our team is ready to help with calm, compassionate, effective treatment. Current patients and new patients alike are welcome to call.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, remember this simple rule: if it hurts, it's an emergency.
Common urgent concerns include severe toothache or swelling, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, dental abscess or infection, broken fillings or crowns, bleeding gums after trauma, and pain while biting or chewing. These issues can worsen without care and may threaten your overall health.
Common Emergency Treatments
Dr. Cheung is experienced in providing fast, effective relief for a wide range of dental emergencies - always with a calm, reassuring approach. Treatments we commonly provide include:
- Gentle tooth extractions
- Root canal therapy for infected teeth
- Same-day dental crowns
- Tooth-colored fillings for broken or decayed teeth
- Temporary repairs and antibiotics for infections
Same-Day Appointments Available
While we are not a 24-hour clinic, we do our best to offer emergency appointments the same day during business hours. After-hours inquiries will be addressed promptly the following morning. If you're in pain, call us right away at (209) 369-3617.
Emergency Dental Costs & Insurance
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and can help you understand your emergency care benefits before treatment begins. For patients without insurance, we offer affordable rates and will work with you to create a manageable payment solution. At Stephen Cheung DDS, you'll never be surprised by hidden fees - we believe in honest, transparent pricing, especially when you're already dealing with the stress of an emergency.
