Same-Day Emergency Care
Pain does not check calendars. Same-day slots exist because of that.
A broken tooth on a weekend trip, a crown that came off in your hand, a face that started swelling overnight: dental emergencies are about time. The practice holds room in the schedule for same-day emergency visits, and cross-border patients are seen with the urgency the situation actually has.
The emergency visit has one goal first — get you out of pain and out of danger. Definitive treatment is planned properly afterwards, with imaging and options, not improvised while you hurt.
What happens when you call
Triage on the phone
You describe what happened; we tell you honestly how urgent it is, what to do right now, and when to come in — same day when the situation calls for it.
Diagnose and relieve
Imaging finds the cause, anesthesia stops the pain, and the immediate danger — infection, exposed nerve, sharp fracture — is handled in that visit.
A real plan after the crisis
Once you are comfortable, the definitive fix is planned with options in writing. Emergency dentistry done in a panic is how teeth get lost; the second step here is never rushed.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or growing pain, swelling of the face or gum, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, bleeding that does not stop, a lost crown exposing sensitive tooth. When in doubt, call and describe it — the honest answer may be reassurance, and that call costs you nothing.
I am in San Diego. Does same-day really work across the border?
Yes — the clinic sits minutes from the crossing in Zona Río, and emergency slots are held with border timing in mind. Call before you leave; by the time you arrive, the room and the plan for your first hour are ready.
What patients say
“From the moment I first reached out by email, my experience with Makeover Dental Studio has exceeded every expectation. The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team behind it.”
“I went in there as a walk in and came out a happy customer. Great service and beautiful facility.”
“Very pleased and impressed with the professional service and attention given at this clinic. All of the staff is very attentive. Dr. Erika answered all my questions and concerns, she explained in detail the whole process of my braces…”
“Thank you so much for saving the day. I don’t remember the last time I had such a painful toothache. My wisdom teeth were definitely not helping. Thank you for taking me in last second…”

Frequently asked
What patients ask before they book. If yours is not here, the fastest answer is a call.
- Your case planned in 3D before treatment begins
- A treatment plan written in English
- A direct line to the clinic once you are home
That is what the emergency slots are for. Call first so the time is confirmed and you are not driving on a guess.
Handle it by the crown, not the root; keep it moist — in milk or inside your cheek — and come immediately. Minutes genuinely matter for reimplantation.
It is time-sensitive: the exposed tooth is vulnerable and sensitive. Keep the piece, avoid chewing on that side and have it reattached or replaced promptly.
Only when it truly cannot be saved, and you will see the imaging that says so. Getting you out of pain does not require deciding the tooth’s future in the same hour.
No. Emergencies are taken as they come, including visitors who have never set foot in the practice.
