Why Choose Emergency Dentistry?

Dental emergencies can happen without warning—sudden tooth pain, swelling, trauma, or a broken restoration can disrupt your day and your peace of mind. Emergency dentistry focuses on rapid diagnosis, pain relief, and protecting your long-term oral health.

At Manyak Dental Group, emergency care isn’t rushed or reactive—it’s thoughtful and thorough. We take the time to understand what’s happening, explain your options clearly, and stabilize the issue while planning for lasting solutions. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, a chipped or knocked-out tooth, or an infection, emergency dentistry can help you regain comfort and control.

Laser technology makes it possible to treat early cavities without the need for traditional drilling or numbing. Instead, we gently remove decay with pinpoint accuracy for a faster, quieter, and more comfortable experience for both kids and adults. 

Laser therapy is a fast, effective way to treat cold sores and herpetic lesions. By targeting the area with gentle laser energy, we can relieve pain, speed up healing, and even stop an outbreak if caught early. Treatment is quick, requires no anesthesia, and can reduce the frequency and severity of future flare-ups. For best results, schedule a visit as soon as you feel tingling or burning and our team will take it from there. 

Whether you're looking to reshape uneven gums for a more balanced smile or need to remove inflamed gum tissue due to gum disease, laser treatment offers a precise, low-discomfort option. There's usually little to no bleeding, and healing time is quicker than with traditional methods.

A laser frenectomy is a simple way to release a tight or restricted tongue or lip tie. It's a quick procedure with minimal discomfort, and because there's no cutting or stitches, healing tends to be much easier—especially for infants and young children.

Preparing a tooth for a crown or filling doesn’t always require a drill. In many cases, we can use a laser to shape the tooth with accuracy and less discomfort. It’s a great option for patients who prefer a quieter, more relaxed experience.

Lasers allow us to perform minor oral surgeries with fewer stitches, minimal swelling, and an overall easier recovery experience. For example, if you have an unusual bump or sore in your mouth, we can use a laser to remove a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further evaluation, usually with little to no bleeding and minimal discomfort.

We also use lasers to uncover teeth that haven’t fully erupted, such as impacted canines or premolars. This is especially helpful during orthodontic treatment, making it easier to guide the tooth into place without the need for traditional surgery.

Our Difference

Comprehensive, Whole-Health Approach

We don’t just treat the symptom—we look for the cause. Emergency visits are approached with your long-term oral health in mind, so today’s fix doesn’t become tomorrow’s problem.

Calm, Concierge-Level Care

Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming. From your first call to your time in the chair, we prioritize reassurance, clear communication, and comfort-focused care.

Thoughtful Technology

Advanced imaging and modern diagnostic tools help us quickly identify the issue and deliver precise, effective treatment—often in a single visit when possible.

Common Reasons to Seek Emergency Dental Care:

  • Sudden or severe tooth pain
  • Swelling, infection, or abscess
  • Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
  • Dental trauma from accidents or sports
  • Uncontrolled bleeding or gum injury

The Emergency Dentistry Process

When you’re in pain or distress, the last thing you need is uncertainty. Our process is designed to move quickly while keeping you informed and comfortable every step of the way.

Request a Visit
01

Prompt Evaluation

Your emergency visit begins with careful listening. We want to understand when the problem started, how it feels, and what’s changed. Using digital X-rays or advanced imaging when needed, we identify the source of your discomfort—whether it’s an infection, fracture, trauma, or inflammation.

This focused evaluation allows us to diagnose accurately and avoid unnecessary treatment, even in urgent situations.

02

Immediate Relief & Stabilization

Our first priority is helping you feel better. Once we understand the cause, we move quickly to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and stabilize the affected area. Depending on your needs, treatment may include managing infection, repairing or protecting a damaged tooth, or placing a temporary restoration.

Throughout treatment, we explain what we’re doing and why, so you feel informed and in control—even in the middle of an emergency.

03

Next Steps & Follow-Up

Emergency care often solves the immediate problem, but it can also reveal underlying issues that deserve attention. Before you leave, we’ll review what we found, discuss any recommended follow-up care, and outline a clear, thoughtful plan moving forward.

Our goal is not just to resolve today’s concern—but to help prevent future emergencies and support your long-term oral health with confidence.

Our Patients Say it Best

I've been coming here for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. I used to be  terrified of the dentist to the point I didn't go for 4 years but because of the atmosphere and staff I feel so comfortable I've fallen asleep twice. I have most appointments with Jackie and she is great. Overall all of the staff is welcoming and some of the nicest people.

Daniel C.

Always an enjoyable experience when I visit Maria at Manyak Dental Group for a cleaning. Thorough, friendly, and caring for all of my dental needs. Everyone there is happy and helpful, plus the atmosphere is calming and comfy for those longer appointments.

Jamie G.

Love this office! Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist and dentists are so friendly. Jackie is an amazing hygienist- so very gentle and I love just listening to her and talking to her when my mouth isn't being worked on. Would give them 6 stars if I could.

Arlene F.

This has been my dentist for nearly 10 years and there’s nothing I wouldn’t trust them with. I drive down from SF multiple times a year because I don’t want to change! Always super friendly, effective and efficient. Today I had work done on a filling by Dr. Levine and Sarah - they used a new cold laser that allowed me to forego anesthesia and it was awesome. Also my hygienist Jackie is the best!

Mackenzie H.

Dr. Manyak is wonderful. She is so professional and comprehensive. I love the fact that her office is so “ high tech” and she has all the latest equipment that makes getting my treatments so easy and painless!  Also Amadell is great as has such a gently touch. Every one in the front office is great as well!  I highly recommend Dr Manyak and co!

Sheri M.

I recently had my teeth cleaned and sealants applied at Manyak Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The hygienist, Jackie, was thorough and gentle during the cleaning, and I truly appreciated her attention to detail and the care she took to ensure my comfort throughout the process. After the cleaning, I met with Dr. Dui for my sealant application, which was quick and painless. He explained each step of the process, making me feel at ease the entire time. I highly recommend Manyak Dental Group to anyone seeking quality dental care!

Mikaela F.

Always a great time at this dentists office! They’re amazing. Jackie the nurse does a great job and has been working with me for a few years already. Jenny is always understanding of my busy schedule and does great work getting appointments set. Even though I moved away I still commute to this dentists office. Definitely recommend!
