Q1. What counts as a dental emergency?

A
dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or jaw that
requires immediate professional attention to relieve severe pain, stop active
bleeding, save a tooth at risk of being lost, or treat an infection before it
spreads. Common dental emergencies include a knocked-out (avulsed) tooth, a
cracked or fractured tooth exposing the nerve, a severe toothache that does
not respond to over-the-counter pain relievers, a dental abscess or swelling
in the face or jaw, a broken or lost crown or filling leaving tooth structure
exposed, uncontrollable bleeding from the gums or oral tissue, and trauma to
the teeth or jaw from an accident or sports injury. If you are unsure whether
your situation qualifies as an emergency, call (702) 341-9160
and our team will help you determine the best course of action immediately.

Q2. Does Summerlin Dental Solutions offer same-day
emergency dental care?

Yes.
When you call our office and describe a dental emergency, our team
prioritizes your care and works to schedule you as quickly as possible —
often the same day. We understand that dental emergencies do not follow a
schedule, and we structure our practice to accommodate urgent cases alongside
regular appointments. Dr. Cohan and her team are experienced at rapidly
assessing emergency situations, using our AI-assisted diagnostics and 3D CBCT imaging to identify the full extent of
damage quickly, and providing definitive treatment rather than temporary
fixes whenever possible. Our goal is to resolve your emergency in a single
visit so you leave the office with the problem truly addressed, not merely
managed.

Q3. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

A
knocked-out permanent tooth is one of the most time-sensitive dental
emergencies. If you act quickly, there is a good chance the tooth can be
successfully reimplanted. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part) —
never touch the root. If the root is dirty, rinse it gently with milk or
saline solution for no more than 10 seconds. Do not scrub it, use soap, or
wrap it in tissue. If possible, gently place the tooth back in the socket and
hold it in position by biting on a clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert it,
place the tooth in a small container of milk, saliva, or an emergency tooth
preservation product (available at most pharmacies). Then call Summerlin
Dental Solutions immediately at (702)
341-9160. The best outcomes occur when
reimplantation happens within 30 minutes, so time is critical. Dr. Cohan has
the expertise and technology to splint and stabilize a reimplanted tooth and
monitor its healing over the following weeks.

Q4. How much does emergency dental care cost in Las Vegas?

Emergency
dental care costs vary widely depending on the nature and severity of the
emergency. An emergency exam with digital X-rays at Summerlin Dental
Solutions is affordable, and additional treatment costs depend on what is
needed — a simple re-cementation of a crown is significantly less expensive
than an emergency root canal
or dental
implant. Our team provides a
clear cost estimate before any treatment begins so there are never surprises.
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of emergency treatment,
and our front office team will verify your insurance benefits immediately upon arrival. For patients without
insurance or with remaining out-of-pocket costs, we offer 0% interest financing through HFD with approval in under a minute and no credit impact.
A dental emergency should never be delayed because of cost concerns — we will
find a financial solution that works.

Q5. What should I do for a severe toothache before I can
get to the dentist?

While
you are waiting to see Dr. Cohan, there are several steps you can take to
manage the pain. Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen
(Advil, Motrin) as directed on the package — ibuprofen is generally more
effective for dental pain than acetaminophen because it reduces both pain and
inflammation. Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water (half a teaspoon
of salt in eight ounces of warm water) to reduce bacteria and soothe
irritated tissue. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the
painful area for 15–20 minutes on, 15–20 minutes off to reduce swelling.
Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages that may aggravate
the pain. Do not apply aspirin directly to the gum tissue, as this can cause
a chemical burn. And most importantly, call us at (702) 341-9160
as soon as possible — a severe toothache usually indicates infection or nerve
involvement that will not resolve on its own.

Q6. Can a cracked or broken tooth be saved?

In
many cases, yes. The outcome depends on the severity and location of the
crack. A minor chip or crack that does not extend below the gum line can
often be repaired with dental bonding, a porcelain veneer, or a dental crown.
A deeper crack that reaches the nerve chamber may require root canal
treatment followed by a crown to save the tooth. A tooth that is cracked
vertically through the root, however, often cannot be saved and may need
extraction followed by a dental
implant or bridge.
At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan uses our 3D CBCT scanner to
visualize the exact extent of the crack in three dimensions — something a
standard flat X-ray often cannot reveal — so she can determine whether the
tooth is savable and recommend the most conservative treatment path. The
sooner you are seen after a crack, the better the chances of saving the
tooth.

Q7. What is a dental abscess and is it dangerous?

A
dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, usually
occurring at the tip of a tooth root (periapical abscess) or in the gum
tissue alongside the root (periodontal abscess). Symptoms include severe
throbbing pain, swelling in the face or jaw, fever, a foul taste in the
mouth, and sensitivity to pressure. A dental abscess is a serious medical
emergency because the infection can spread to the jaw, neck, and even the
brain if left untreated. In rare cases, an untreated abscess can lead to
sepsis, a life-threatening systemic infection. If you experience facial
swelling with fever and difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest
emergency room immediately. For all other abscess symptoms, call Summerlin
Dental Solutions at (702) 341-9160 for same-day evaluation. Dr. Cohan will drain the
abscess, prescribe antibiotics, and develop a treatment plan to address the
underlying cause — whether that means root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, or extraction with replacement.

Q8. My crown fell off — is this a dental emergency?

A
lost crown should be addressed promptly, though it is generally less urgent
than a knocked-out tooth or abscess. The exposed tooth underneath is
vulnerable to sensitivity, further damage, and bacterial contamination. If
your crown comes off, gently clean both the crown and the tooth. You can
temporarily re-seat the crown using over-the-counter dental cement or denture
adhesive (never use superglue). Avoid chewing on that side and call Summerlin
Dental Solutions to schedule a visit as soon as possible. In most cases, Dr.
Cohan can re-cement the original crown during a quick appointment if it is
still intact and fits properly. If the crown or the underlying tooth is
damaged, she will discuss replacement options including a new custom crown
fabricated using our TRIOS digital scanner for a precise, comfortable fit.

Q9. What dental emergencies can Summerlin Dental Solutions
treat?

Our
practice is equipped to handle virtually any dental emergency, including
knocked-out, loosened, or displaced teeth, cracked, fractured, or broken
teeth, severe toothaches and dental pain, dental abscesses and oral
infections, lost or broken crowns, fillings, or veneers, broken dentures or
orthodontic appliances, soft tissue injuries including lacerations to the
gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue, jaw pain and TMJ emergencies, post-surgical
complications, and objects lodged between teeth. Because Summerlin Dental
Solutions offers general dentistry, restorative care, cosmetic dentistry, dental
implants, and sedation dentistry all under one roof, Dr. Cohan can provide definitive
treatment for most emergencies in a single visit rather than referring you to
a specialist and delaying your care.

Q10. Does dental insurance cover emergency dental care?

Most
dental insurance plans cover emergency examinations and diagnostic imaging.
Additional treatment such as root canals, crowns, extractions, and
reimplantation is typically covered under your plan’s “basic” or “major”
services categories, though coverage percentages and annual maximums vary by
carrier and plan. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, our front office team
verifies your insurance benefits immediately when you arrive for an emergency
visit and provides a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket costs before
treatment begins. We also accept 0% interest financing through HFD for any costs not covered by insurance, with approval
in under a minute and no credit score impact. Visit our insurance and financial information page for a complete list of accepted plans.

Q11. What technology does Summerlin Dental Solutions use for
emergency diagnosis?

Speed
and accuracy are critical in a dental emergency, and Summerlin Dental
Solutions has invested in the most advanced dental technology available to ensure both. Our AI-assisted radiological
analysis system reviews diagnostic images alongside Dr. Cohan, helping
identify fractures, infections, and hidden damage that might be missed by
traditional methods — crucial when minutes matter. The 3D cone beam CT
scanner (CBCT) provides a complete three-dimensional view of the affected
tooth, jawbone, and surrounding structures in seconds, revealing the full
extent of a crack, the spread of an infection, or the precise position of a
displaced tooth. Digital X-rays deliver instant images at up to 90% less
radiation than conventional film, eliminating the processing delay of
traditional film. The TRIOS digital scanner captures precise impressions
without messy putty trays, enabling same-day crown or restoration planning
when needed. Our soft tissue laser can treat gum lacerations with less
bleeding, less swelling, and faster healing than traditional surgical
methods. And dual-screen exam rooms display your images in real time so you
understand exactly what has happened and why Dr. Cohan is recommending the
treatment she is.

Q12. Is Dr. Cohan experienced with dental emergencies?

Dr.
Marianne Cohan has over 31 years of clinical experience and has treated
thousands of dental emergencies during her more than 25 years serving the Las
Vegas community. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the
State University of New York at Buffalo with dual honors, including the
Periodontics Award and the Operative Dentistry Award. Her extensive training
and decades of hands-on experience mean she has encountered virtually every
type of dental emergency and developed the diagnostic instincts to rapidly
assess complex situations under pressure. She is an Accredited Member of the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (fewer than 1% of dentists), a Best
Dentist in America through peer nomination, and a 19-time Best of Las Vegas winner across four categories including Best Dentist and Best
Customer Service. She maintains active memberships in the AAFE, AAID, ADA,
Academy of Laser Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry. When you
are in pain and frightened, you genuinely could not be in better hands than
Dr. Cohan’s.

Q13. Can I receive sedation during emergency dental
treatment?

Yes.
Dental emergencies are stressful and often painful, and Summerlin Dental
Solutions offers three levels of sedation dentistry to ensure your comfort during emergency treatment.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides gentle relaxation and can be
administered immediately during your emergency visit. Oral sedation offers
deeper calm and may be available depending on your medical history and the
timing of your visit. IV sedation is available for the most invasive
emergency procedures or for patients with severe dental anxiety who need the
deepest level of comfort. Beyond sedation, our spa-like office provides
comfort amenities including warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones,
complimentary beverages, and personal entertainment screens at every
treatment chair — because even in an emergency, we believe you deserve to
feel cared for, not just treated.

Q14. Where is the nearest emergency dentist to The Summit
and The Ridges in Summerlin?

Summerlin
Dental Solutions is located at 851 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV
89145, centrally positioned in the heart of Summerlin between Tivoli Village
and Boca Park. Residents of The Summit can reach our office in approximately
10–12 minutes via Town Center Drive to Rampart Boulevard. Residents of The
Ridges travel south on Rampart or connect via the 215 Beltway in a similarly
short drive. In a dental emergency, this proximity can make a significant
difference in outcomes — particularly for a knocked-out tooth where
reimplantation success drops dramatically after 30 minutes. Save our number
in your phone now: (702) 341-9160. When an emergency strikes, you will not have to waste
time searching for a dentist.

Q15. Can Queensridge residents get same-day emergency dental
care at Summerlin Dental Solutions?

Absolutely.
Queensridge and Queensridge North are among our closest neighboring
communities, located just 5–10 minutes from our office on Rampart Boulevard.
Many of our long-time Queensridge patients have our number saved as their
first call for any dental concern, and they know from experience that our
team prioritizes emergency cases and works to accommodate same-day visits
whenever possible. Whether you have cracked a tooth, lost a crown, or are
experiencing a sudden toothache, call (702)
341-9160 and let us know it is urgent.
Queensridge residents can be in Dr. Cohan’s chair within minutes of making
that call.

Q16. Is there an emergency dentist near Henderson that
accepts same-day patients?

Yes.
While Summerlin Dental Solutions is located in Summerlin, we regularly serve
emergency patients from Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem who are willing
to make the 25–30 minute drive via the 215 Beltway because of the level of
care, technology, and expertise they receive. Henderson patients choose us
for emergencies because Dr. Cohan’s 31 years of experience, advanced CBCT
imaging for accurate fracture diagnosis, and ability to provide definitive
treatment in a single visit — rather than a temporary patch with a referral
to follow — means fewer total appointments and a better outcome. When you
call with an emergency, our team will work to accommodate you as quickly as
possible regardless of which Las Vegas community you are traveling from.

Q17. Can patients from Centennial Hills and Spring Valley
get emergency dental care at Summerlin Dental Solutions?

Yes.
Centennial Hills and North Las Vegas residents reach our Summerlin office in
approximately 20–25 minutes via the 215 or US-95, while Spring Valley
patients are just 10–15 minutes south along the 215 Beltway. Both communities
represent growing segments of our emergency patient base. Spring Valley
residents in particular benefit from the short drive to our office when time
is critical, and Centennial Hills patients consistently tell us they prefer
our practice for emergencies because the combination of same-day
availability, advanced diagnostic technology, and comprehensive treatment
capabilities under one roof eliminates the multi-appointment runaround they
have experienced at other offices. Call (702)
341-9160 from anywhere in the valley
and we will get you seen as fast as we can.

Q18. Should I go to the emergency room or an emergency
dentist?

For
most dental emergencies, an emergency dentist is a better choice than a
hospital emergency room. ERs are equipped to manage life-threatening
conditions, control severe bleeding, and prescribe antibiotics, but they
generally do not have the specialized equipment, materials, or training to
provide definitive dental treatment. An ER visit for a toothache typically
results in a prescription for pain medication and antibiotics along with
instructions to see a dentist — which means the actual problem remains unresolved.
At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan can diagnose the cause of your pain
using 3D imaging and AI-assisted analysis, perform the treatment needed to
resolve it (root canal, extraction, restoration, abscess drainage), and do it
all in one visit. The exception: if you experience facial swelling that is
restricting your breathing or swallowing, uncontrollable bleeding that will
not stop with pressure, or a suspected jaw fracture from trauma, go to the ER
first, then follow up with us for definitive dental care.

Q19. How can I prevent dental emergencies?

While
not all dental emergencies are preventable, many can be avoided with
proactive care. Maintain regular preventive dental visits every six months so Dr. Cohan can identify and treat
small problems — a tiny crack, early decay, a weakened filling — before they
become emergencies. Our AI-assisted diagnostics and CBCT imaging catch issues
that traditional exams often miss, giving you an early warning system that
most dental practices cannot offer. Wear a custom-fitted mouthguard during
contact sports and high-risk activities. If you grind or clench your teeth,
ask about a night guard
to protect your teeth while you sleep. Avoid using your teeth to open
packages, crack nuts, or chew ice. And address gum disease
promptly with deep cleaning
when recommended, as untreated gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss
and dental abscesses.

Q20. How do I reach Summerlin Dental Solutions in a dental
emergency?

Call
us immediately at (702) 341-9160. Let the team know you are experiencing a dental
emergency and describe your symptoms. We will prioritize your care and work
to see you as quickly as possible — often the same day. If you prefer, you
can also book
online or start with a virtual consultation, though for true emergencies we recommend calling
directly for the fastest response. Our office is located at 851 S Rampart
Blvd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV 89145, centrally located in Summerlin between
Tivoli Village and Boca Park, easily accessible from the 215 Beltway and
Summerlin Parkway. We serve emergency patients from The Summit, The Ridges,
Queensridge, Henderson, Centennial Hills, Spring Valley, and throughout the
Las Vegas Valley. New patients are always welcome — you do not need to be an
existing patient to receive emergency care. Complete your patient forms
online on the way to our office to save time upon arrival.

The Summit

One of Summerlin’s most exclusive guard-gated
communities, The Summit is approximately 10–12 minutes from our office via
Town Center Drive and Rampart Boulevard. In a dental emergency — especially a
knocked-out tooth where every minute counts — this proximity can be the
difference between saving and losing a tooth. Summit residents trust Dr.
Cohan for the same reason they chose their community: an uncompromising
standard of excellence.

The Ridges

Nestled against Red Rock Canyon, The Ridges
is a short drive from Summerlin Dental Solutions via Rampart Boulevard or the
215 Beltway. Ridges residents value having a dentist with 31 years of
emergency experience, advanced 3D diagnostic imaging, and same-day treatment
capability within minutes of home. Dr. Cohan’s sole-practitioner model
ensures you see the same trusted dentist every time — including during an
emergency.

Queensridge

Our closest neighboring community at just
5–10 minutes from our office. Queensridge families have trusted Dr. Cohan for
over two decades, and many have our office number stored as their emergency
dental contact. The combination of geographic proximity and clinical
expertise makes Summerlin Dental Solutions the natural emergency dental home
for Queensridge residents.

Henderson

Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem patients
reach our Summerlin office in approximately 25–30 minutes via the 215
Beltway. Henderson residents choose Summerlin Dental Solutions for
emergencies because Dr. Cohan’s CBCT 3D imaging, AI-assisted diagnostics, and
comprehensive on-site treatment capabilities mean the emergency is fully
resolved in one visit rather than parceled out across multiple offices and
appointments.

Centennial
Hills

North Las Vegas and Centennial Hills
residents travel south on the 215 or US-95 in about 20–25 minutes. This
growing community has become an increasingly significant part of our
emergency patient base, with families and professionals choosing us because of
the speed of diagnosis, the breadth of same-day treatment options, and the
genuine compassion of a team that treats emergency patients like people in
distress, not interruptions to the schedule.

Spring
Valley

Located just south of Summerlin along the 215
Beltway, Spring Valley patients reach our office in 10–15 minutes — making us
one of the fastest emergency dental options for this densely populated
community. Spring Valley residents frequently cite the combination of rapid
access, advanced technology, and Dr. Cohan’s calm, experienced approach to
emergency care as the reasons they choose Summerlin Dental Solutions when the
unexpected happens.

AI-Assisted
Radiology

Our artificial intelligence system reviews
emergency diagnostic images alongside Dr. Cohan in real time, highlighting
fracture lines, infection spread, and bone involvement that might be subtle
on traditional X-rays. In an emergency, where speed and accuracy are equally
critical, this AI second opinion helps ensure nothing is missed in the
initial assessment.

3D CBCT
Scanner

The cone beam CT scanner produces a complete
three-dimensional view of the affected area in seconds — revealing the exact
depth and direction of a crack, the spread of an abscess, the position of a
displaced tooth root, or the integrity of surrounding bone. This information
is essential for determining whether a tooth can be saved and planning the
most effective treatment approach.

TRIOS
Digital Scanner

When an emergency requires a same-day crown,
bridge, or restoration, the TRIOS digital scanner captures precise
impressions in minutes without messy putty trays. This enables Dr. Cohan to
begin the restoration process immediately rather than sending you home with a
temporary fix while waiting weeks for a lab-fabricated restoration.

Soft
Tissue Laser

For emergencies involving gum lacerations,
soft tissue trauma, or infection, our dental laser provides minimally
invasive treatment with less bleeding, less swelling, and faster healing than
traditional surgical methods. The laser can also be used to drain abscesses
and disinfect infected tissue with greater precision and comfort.

Digital
X-Rays

Delivering instant diagnostic images at up to
90% less radiation than conventional film, digital X-rays are the first line
of emergency assessment. Results appear on screen in seconds — not minutes —
eliminating the processing delay that can feel like an eternity when you are
in pain.

Dual-Screen
Exam Rooms

Every treatment room features dual monitors
that display your emergency images in real time. Even in a crisis, Dr. Cohan
takes the time to show you what she sees and explain her recommended
treatment, because understanding what has happened and why a particular
course of action is necessary reduces fear and builds trust — two things that
matter enormously when you are in the chair with a dental emergency.

Computerized
Smile Design

For emergencies involving visible front teeth
— a broken incisor, a lost veneer, trauma to the smile zone — smile design
software helps Dr. Cohan plan a restoration that matches your existing teeth
in shade, proportion, and contour. Even in an emergency, the aesthetic
outcome matters, and this technology ensures your restored smile looks
completely natural.
