Emergency Dentist
For a tooth that swelled up overnight or snapped on something hard. Call early, and we work to see you the same day when possible.
Patients looking for a dentist near Montebello, CA, come to our Whittier office, about 5 miles away, for checkups, fillings, crowns, extractions and emergency care. Our team speaks English and Spanish, and we accept all PPO plans.

Our dentists include two dental surgeons who handle emergencies themselves. When a tooth needs to come out or a root canal can’t wait, it is done in our office when possible, with no referral to an outside specialist.
The same team covers fillings, crowns, cosmetic work and orthodontics for children and adults, so the office that gets you out of pain can also keep up with the rest of your care.

Montebello is about 5 miles from our office on Greenleaf Avenue. More than half of Montebello households rent rather than own, and when people move, the habit of seeing the same dentist doesn’t always move with them.
If you are between dentists, we start with whatever is most urgent, then lay out the rest one step at a time, at a pace your budget can handle. You can describe it all in English or Spanish.
Once the urgent problem is behind you, you’re welcome to stay with us for cleanings and exams. Patients have relied on our full-service dentist in Whittier since 2003.
Most first visits from Montebello start with a specific tooth. These are the services that come up most.
For a tooth that swelled up overnight or snapped on something hard. Call early, and we work to see you the same day when possible.
When a tooth is broken past repair, our own doctors take it out here. First we look at whether a crown or root canal could keep it.
A crown covers a cracked or worn-down tooth so it can take normal chewing again. If the damage is small, a filling may be enough.
A dark spot or a tooth that catches floss is often a cavity that can still be filled in one visit.
For patients missing most teeth in one arch, or tired of a loose denture, a fixed arch on implants is an option we plan and build in-house.
If any of these sound familiar, a dental office near Montebello can find the cause before it gets harder to fix.
Pain that fades and returns usually means something is still going on inside the tooth. An exam and X-rays show whether it is decay, a crack or an infection.
Some breaks only need smoothing or a filling. Others reach deep enough that a crown is needed to hold the tooth together.
The tooth underneath is exposed and can be sensitive or sharp. Keep the crown if you have it, and call us so we can see whether it can go back on.
A swollen gum or cheek can point to an infection that needs prompt care. If it spreads toward your eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room.
When a broken tooth needs a crown, our dental technicians make it from high-quality ceramic. Digital scanners record your bite, and intraoral cameras show you the damaged tooth before we begin.
For extractions and more involved cases, our cone-beam CT (CBCT) shows the roots and surrounding bone in 3D, right here in our office.

We accept all PPO dental plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross and UnitedHealthcare. Before your visit, our team verifies your coverage and tells you upfront what your plan will pay. We send the claim for you once treatment is done.
Whether or not you have a plan, CareCredit, Cherry, low initial payments and manageable monthly payment plans can keep needed care from waiting.
