Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule, and neither do we when urgent care is needed. Our practice prioritizes same-day appointments for Westfield patients experiencing:

• Severe toothaches or dental pain
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Knocked-out teeth (bring the tooth with you, if possible)
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Dental infections or abscesses
• Broken dentures or other dental appliances

For emergency situations, we maintain flexible scheduling to accommodate urgent needs. When you call with an emergency, our team assesses your situation immediately and provides instructions for managing pain or preserving damaged teeth until you can reach our office.

We also offer after-hours emergency contact information for existing patients, ensuring you never have to face dental pain alone.

Comfort-Focused Sedation Options for Anxious Patients

Dental anxiety shouldn’t prevent you from receiving necessary care. For our Westfield patients who experience nervousness about dental visits, we offer several sedation options to ensure complete comfort:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): A mild sedative that helps you relax while remaining fully conscious. Effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home afterward.
• State-approved general anesthesia: For complex procedures or severe anxiety, we partner with certified dental anesthesiologists to provide deeper sedation in a safe, monitored environment.

Before any sedation, Dr. Pavlakis thoroughly reviews your medical history and explains the process in detail. Many patients who previously avoided dental care due to anxiety now receive regular treatment comfortably with our sedation options.

Our office is uniquely positioned as one of the few general dental practices in the area approved to offer comprehensive sedation dentistry services, making advanced care accessible to patients who might otherwise avoid treatment.
