Toothache? Broken Tooth? Swelling? We Make Dental Emergencies a Priority.
Dental pain hits out of nowhere.
And you should never have to sit around suffering through it.
At Forever Smiles, we treat a dental emergency like the real issue it is.
Our promise stays dead simple: We do everything in our power to get you into a chair within 24 to 48 hours. And in plenty of cases, we can slide you in the very same day.
If your schedule is wide open, we can often see you immediately.
You do not need to be an existing patient at Forever Smiles to get emergency help. Whether you have trusted us for decades or this is your first time calling, our team jumps into action to wipe out your pain.
What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
Dental problems crop up without warning, requiring fast care to kill pain, stop spreading infections, and save compromised teeth.
Common emergency situations include:
- Deep, throbbing toothaches
- Cracked or snapped teeth
- Severe facial swelling or dental infections
- Fully knocked-out teeth
- Sharp, chipped edges
- Lost fillings or popped-off crowns
- Broken or cracked dentures
- Sudden mouth trauma
- Sharp pain whenever you bite down
- Painful gum abscesses
- Uncontrolled bleeding after dental work
And if you feel unsure about your symptoms, just give us a call. Our team will figure out how fast you need care and lock in a spot.

Quick, easy, and completely commitment-free — from the comfort of your home.
What Happens During an Emergency Visit?
We focus on one clear goal right out of the gate: finding out why you hurt.
During your emergency visit, we might perform:
- A quick, targeted dental exam
- High-definition digital X-rays
- Advanced 3D CBCT imaging
- High-resolution camera photos or digital scans
- A thorough diagnosis of the underlying issue
- Instant treatment to kill your pain before you leave
We refuse to just slap a temporary bandage on your pain.
We want to pinpoint the root cause, walk you through your options, and map out a plan that keeps your mouth healthy for good.
Designed to Accommodate Emergencies
Most dental practices book their schedules solid for months, leaving zero room for walk-ins or urgent calls.
Forever Smiles operates on a completely different blueprint.
Our dentists work alongside multiple skilled assistants, allowing us to manage complex treatments while keeping schedule slots open for daily emergencies.
Our Glencoe location boasts 14 full-featured treatment rooms, while our Chanhassen office features 9 complete operatories. Having this much clinical space lets us take care of emergency patients instantly without throwing off scheduled visits for others.
And that setup is totally intentional.
Providing fast emergency care is central to who we are, so we built our entire schedule and practice layout around it.
If a tooth problem feels like a crisis to you, it becomes a top priority for us.
Comfortable Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies bring enough stress on their own without worrying about pain in the chair.
We go the extra mile to make your urgent visit surprisingly relaxed and completely painless.
Depending on your comfort level, we offer:
Deep local numbing agents
Soothing nitrous oxide laughing gas
Relaxing oral sedation pills for qualifying patients
Toasting warm blankets and neck pillows
Overhead TVs for easy distraction
Noise-canceling headphones with music
We know most emergency patients walk in anxious, hurting, and worried about what comes next. But we take the time to explain every detail, answer your questions, and make sure you feel totally safe.
Common Emergency Treatments
Depending on what your diagnostic scans reveal, your fix might include:
Tooth-colored composite fillings
Immediate root canal therapy
Gentle tooth extractions
Repairs for broken or chipped enamel
Re-cementing or replacing loose crowns
Targeted treatment for spreading infections
Draining painful abscesses
Prescription antibiotics or pain relief
Whenever possible, we start the permanent fix during your emergency visit. And if you need follow-up appointments to finish the job, we walk you through the entire timeline, plan, and cost upfront so you face zero surprises.
Our Commitment to Emergency Patients
We hear the exact same story from new patients every week:
“I called half a dozen dental offices, and nobody had an opening for a month.”
That is just not how proper dental care should work. When you are in pain, you deserve immediate relief and real help.

Whether you are battling an agonizing toothache, a broken tooth, severe swelling, or a sudden injury, Forever Smiles is ready to take care of you.

“I want to thank Dr. Knorr, all your assistants, everyone. It’s the best thing I ever did. I would do it again, and I would come to this place again. As a matter of fact, it’s the only place I’m coming to.”
Marion

“You know, trying to not smile all the time to all of a sudden a big smile now. It still brings tears to my eyes—from no confidence to what I am right now—it’s amazing. Come see Forever Smiles, the best place I have ever been to. Definitely the place to go.”
