Emergency Dentistry in Wheaton, MD

Quick relief when your smile can’t wait.

Dental emergencies never seem to happen when it’s convenient. But when they do, you need a dental team that’s experienced, gentle, compassionate, and ready to adjust their schedule to take care of your needs.

At Elite Dental Center, we know that a sudden toothache or injury can be scary and stressful. That’s why we provide compassionate and effective emergency dental care in Wheaton, MD. Our goal is to help you stay calm, address your concerns, prevent complications, and get you out of pain and back to smiling in no time.

Common Emergencies Our Wheaton Dental Center Treats

Not every toothache or chip means a rush to the dentist, but some situations do need urgent care. Our emergency dentist in Wheaton, MD, is here to help you determine if your condition warrants same-day urgent dental care. Common dental emergencies we treat include:

  • Fractured or cracked teeth
  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Loose or displaced tooth
  • Severe toothaches
  • Lost or broken dental fillings/crowns
  • Infections, swelling, or dental abscesses
  • Soft tissue injuries like cuts to the lips, gums, or cheeks that cause heavy bleeding

If it hurts, bleeds, or looks scary—chances are it’s a dental emergency!

Unless you’re experiencing life-threatening symptoms (like difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, or facial trauma), your best bet is to call us first. We’re equipped with the skill, experience, and technology to handle most urgent dental issues quickly and save you a trip to the ER!

Think of a cracked tooth like a cracked phone screen—it usually gets worse if ignored. Call our emergency dentist in Wheaton right away so we can save your smile before the damage spreads.

Stay calm, pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and insert it back into its socket. If that’s impossible, put it in a glass of milk and get to us immediately. The faster you get here, the better your chances of saving the tooth and restoring your smile.


Yes! Whether it’s a big meeting, wedding, or date, our emergency dentist in Wheaton will help restore your tooth and confidence as quickly as possible.

I had a tooth ache requiring immediate attention. Gave them a call they immediately got me in the next morning, from the door, I felt very taken care, Dr. Walker is outstanding diagnosed the issue, did my extraction painlessly and I was on about my day minus that painful wisdom tooth. I have never been one that has looked forward to a Dental visit, it has always been the opposite, but the great folk at Elite Dental in Wheaton have definitely made my anxiety about Dental visits disappear. I look forward to them helping me keep my smile correct.

Went initially for a second opinion and they have won my endless appreciation as another office said I needed $2800 of work and Elite said there were no issues that warranted the treatment recommended. I do need a treatment but only on 3 teeth and NOT $2800!

I’m currently going through the dental implant process for 1 tooth and everything from a to z about the process/cost has been broken down and throughly explained to me. Elite Dental takes care and customer service to an entirely different level. Best dental practice in the area.
