Dental emergencies never happen at a good time. At Endodontic Excellence in Reston, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments for patients experiencing severe tooth pain, facial swelling, root canal infections, cracked teeth, or dental trauma with or without a referral.

We leave room in our schedule every single day to accommodate urgent cases. That means:
- Same-day scheduling (text or call us at (703) 429-9926)
- Swift communication via text for instant responses
- Fast insurance verification so you know your coverage and benefits before your visit
- Immediate evaluation and treatment
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may need urgent care:
- Severe or lingering tooth pain
- Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- Trauma from sports or accidents
- A draining bump, abscess, or signs of infection
Still not sure? Give us a call or text. We’ll help determine whether same-day treatment is needed.
What we treat in our Reston emergency dental office
We’re equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies. Our on-site 3D imaging (CBCT) and microscope-enhanced diagnosis allow us to evaluate and act quickly to save your tooth.
All treatments are performed by board-certified endodontists who bring years of specialized training and expertise. We use GentleWave® and advanced laser technology to thoroughly clean infections in a faster, more effective way. For numbing, we combine Cetacaine® topical anesthetic, the computer-controlled Dentapen®, and the ultra-fine 33-gauge x-short needles, ensuring a virtually pain-free experience even for patients with high sensitivity.
Frequently asked emergency dental questions
Is emergency dental care covered by my dental insurance?
Yes, we accept most major PPO dental plans and can verify your coverage the same day.
Do I need a referral for same-day dental care?
No referral is needed. If you’re not already established with a general dentist, we can refer you to one of our trusted partners in your area for restoration of your tooth.
Should I go to the ER for tooth pain instead?
Most ERs aren’t equipped to handle dental issues. If you’re not in immediate danger (like difficulty breathing), we can likely help you faster and more affordably.
What if I have swelling in my gums or face?
This could be a sign of a serious infection. Contact us immediately.
What if I have a cracked tooth but no pain?
You may still need urgent care. Cracks can worsen and lead to infection. We can evaluate and treat the tooth before it becomes a bigger issue.
