Atlanta Emergency Dentist, Dr. Mark Allan Padolsky, practices General and Emergency Dentistry with the Atlanta Dental Group PC located in the Midtown/Buckhead area of Atlanta. He is happy to see dental emergency patients and in fact, enjoys helping patients get out of pain. Because he offers emergency dental care, most emergency patients can be seen within two hours and often can receive their dental emergency work soon after their arrival. However, patients are only seen during our extended patient care hours. Call us before coming to be sure we are open.
There are many types of dental emergency problems and each type requires a different type of dental emergency treatment. However, every dental emergency visit begins with a panoramic x-ray and an emergency dental examination. Proposed treatment is always put in writing to help avoid confusion about what is being done before our Atlanta Emergency Dentist begins any procedure . If necessary, our front office staff can assist with financing for qualified patients who wish to pay their dental costs over time.
A dental emergency physician may not be the right choice. Many emergency dental patients in Atlanta go to a hospital emergency room instead of an Atlanta Emergency Dentist. A medical doctor (physician) is not a dentist and will usually just prescribe antibiotics and pain medication. Nothing is usually done at the hospital and the emergency dental patient ends up having to pay again to see an emergency dentist. If there are no significant medical injuries, it makes good sense to see an emergency dentist first.
The Atlanta Dental Group PC offers comprehensive Cosmetic, Implant and Restorative dental services to all of its patients and is not strictly an emergency dental clinic. However, its emergency dental services are extensive. After receiving your emergency care, you are welcome to join our family of patients and receive your regular dental care with our dental group.
