Emergency dental care · Willoughby, Langley

Emergency Dentist in Langley

In pain, swollen, or broken a tooth? Call us. We keep time aside each day for urgent problems and will see you today wherever the schedule allows.

Call (604) 559-2212

Open Tuesday to Sunday — including both weekend days. Closed Mondays. Phoning is always faster than the form for anything urgent.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911

Go to your nearest emergency department rather than waiting for a dental appointment if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading towards your eye or neck, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury to the head or face.

When we’re open

When we can see you

We’re open six days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays — which is when a lot of dental problems happen and most clinics are shut.

We are closed on Mondays. If something happens on a Monday, call us anyway and leave a message, or use the guidance below to manage until Tuesday morning.

Is it an emergency?

Call us today if you have

Toothache that won’t settle

Particularly pain that wakes you at night, throbs, or doesn’t respond to over-the-counter painkillers.

Facial or gum swelling

Swelling can mean infection. Don’t wait to see if it settles — and if it’s spreading, treat it as a medical emergency.

A broken or chipped tooth

Especially if it’s sharp against your tongue, sensitive to air, or the nerve is exposed.

A knocked-out tooth

Time matters enormously here. See the first-aid steps below and call us straight away.

A lost filling or crown

Usually not painful at first, but the tooth underneath is exposed and can deteriorate quickly.

Bleeding that won’t stop

After an extraction or an injury. Persistent, uncontrolled bleeding needs urgent attention.

Not sure whether it counts? Call and describe it. We would far rather tell you it can wait until next week than have you sit at home in pain over a weekend.

Before you get here

What to do right now

General guidance while you’re on your way or waiting for us to open. It doesn’t replace being seen — call us as well.

Knocked-out adult tooth

Pick it up by the crown, never the root. If it’s dirty, rinse briefly in milk or saline — don’t scrub it. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite gently on a cloth. If you can’t, keep it in milk, or in your cheek. Get to a dentist as fast as possible: the first hour matters most. Don’t try to reimplant a child’s baby tooth.

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water. Take your usual over-the-counter painkiller as directed on the packet. A cold compress on the outside of the cheek can help. Never hold aspirin against the gum — it burns the tissue.

Broken or chipped tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water and keep any pieces in milk. Cover a sharp edge with orthodontic wax or sugar-free gum to protect your tongue. Use a cold compress for swelling.

Facial swelling

Cold compress on the outside, and call us the same day. If the swelling is spreading towards your eye or neck, or you’re struggling to swallow or breathe, go to hospital or call 911 instead.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it and bring it with you. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can protect the tooth briefly. Avoid chewing on that side.

Bleeding after an extraction

Bite firmly on clean gauze for 20 minutes without checking it. Stay upright and avoid rinsing, spitting or straws for 24 hours. If it hasn’t settled after an hour of steady pressure, call us.

Don’t wait it out. Pain that stops on its own often means the nerve has died rather than the problem resolving — and infection can spread quietly. If it hurt enough to look this up, it’s worth a phone call.

Ready when you are

Call and describe what’s happening

We’ll tell you honestly whether you need to be seen today, tomorrow, or whether it can wait — and we’ll fit you in where we can.

What happens

At your emergency visit

We get you out of pain first — that’s the priority
Dr. Han examines the tooth and takes an X-ray if one is needed

Online booking is best for routine appointments. For anything urgent, call — we can triage it properly on the phone and find you a slot that the booking system won’t show.

Questions

Emergency dental questions

Do you see emergency patients the same day?

We hold time back each day for urgent problems and see people the same day wherever the schedule allows. We can’t promise it in every case — but call and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do rather than leaving you guessing.

Are you open on weekends?

Yes. We’re open Saturdays and Sundays, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which is when many clinics are closed. We’re closed on Mondays.

I’m not a patient here. Can you still see me?

Yes. You don’t need to be registered with us. Call and we’ll take your details over the phone.

What will it cost?

An emergency examination and any X-ray needed is charged at the standard rate for those procedures, and you’ll be told the cost of any treatment before it goes ahead. We bill most major insurers directly, and we accept CDCP patients.

What if it’s the middle of the night?

Call us and leave a message, and use the first-aid guidance above. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a facial injury, don’t wait for us — go to your nearest emergency department or call 911.

Can you help with a knocked-out tooth?

Call immediately — the first hour matters most. Keep the tooth in milk or in your cheek, handle it by the crown rather than the root, and get here as fast as you can.

Do you see children for emergencies?

Yes. Call and tell us your child’s age and what’s happened, and we’ll arrange the right appointment.

Will I be seen by a dentist or a hygienist?

Emergencies are seen by Dr. Han. She is the only dentist here, so you’ll be seen by her every time.

Do you speak Korean?

Yes. Dr. Han is fluent in English and Korean.
