Good to Know

Questions patients often ask

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, knocked-out or badly cracked teeth, and signs of infection usually need urgent attention.

Should I go to the ER or the dentist?

For most tooth-related emergencies, a dentist is best equipped to treat the problem. Go to the ER for serious facial trauma or if you have trouble breathing or swallowing.

Can you see me the same day?

We prioritize dental emergencies and do our best to arrange prompt appointments. Call 941-421-5840 as early as possible.

What if a tooth is knocked out?

Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva, avoid touching the root, and call us immediately — quick action improves the chance of saving it.

Dr. Lefton a very good dentist. I had a crown done recently everything went flawless. The dental assistant and hygienist are also excellent in their work. The front desk is very helpful and easy to work with. No problem recommending their services.
