My tooth started throbbing and I can't wait a week for an appointment.
"My son got knocked in the mouth at practice and his tooth is loose."
"I chipped my tooth and I don't know if it's serious."
"I've had a toothache for two days and nobody could get me in."
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone — and help is closer than you think. Bright Smile Dental holds same-day openings specifically for emergencies, so you're not stuck waiting in pain.
Throbbing, sharp, or constant pain is often a sign of infection or decay that has reached the nerve. This usually needs same-day attention.
Trauma from sports, falls, or accidents can knock a tooth out completely or crack it. Acting within the first hour gives us the best chance of saving the tooth.
Facial swelling, a bump on the gums, or a bad taste in your mouth can point to an infection that needs prompt treatment before it spreads.
Whatever the emergency, our goal is the same: get you out of pain and protect your long-term dental health.
Why do so many patients in Powell call us first when something goes wrong? Because we treat emergencies like emergencies.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
950+ five-star ratings on Google. Here’s what a few patients had to say about their dentures:
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Cheung and his wonderful staff. In recent years, I have had to have two separate implants. Dr. Cheung made certain that I was 110% satisfied with the results. They even followed up with me later in the day to see how I was feeling and how well the implant was matching the rest of my teeth. You definitely won’t be disappointed.
I can not adequately express my gratitude for the care I have received from Bright Smile! Everyone in the office — from the front desk to the hygienists to the dentists and specialists — always greeted me warmly, remembering details from previous conversations no matter how much time had passed between visits, and provided me with excellent care. I felt listened to and supported in overcoming my fears as I went through the dental implant process. This staff made themselves available whenever I needed questions answered, regardless of the time of day. I truly appreciate the care and quality of the work I received and I highly recommend the Bright Smile office! I continue to receive extraordinary kindness from the staff. They are patient in explaining the procedures and are engaging at every step in my care. As for the quality of the work, I can only say that in all my years of dental chair visits, I have never before been the recipient of such highly detailed dental care.
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am with the dentures I got from Bright Smile Dental. I was very disappointed with the dentures I got elsewhere and came to Dr. Kim a little exasperated. He took all the time that was necessary to get me the dentures that looked the way I wanted them to look. They are comfortable to the point that I don’t even feel like I’m wearing dentures. I had a difficult crossbite and significant bone loss and was a challenging case for sure! In addition to being aesthetically pleasing and incredibly comfortable, my dentures have proven to be functional far beyond what I could have ever expected. And his support staff couldn’t be more lovable! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You need a good dentist? Go to Bright Smile!!!
My dad needed denture replacements and he had a great experience here! He shared the staff was all very friendly and the dentist (Dr. Kim) was so helpful. Thank you 🙂

Bright Smile Dental holds same-day openings for emergencies. Call us first — if your case needs more than we can provide (like a medical emergency alongside the dental one), we’ll help direct you to the right place.
Usually not. Hospital ERs can manage severe pain, swelling, or infection with medication, but they typically don’t perform extractions or other dental procedures. They’ll refer you to a dentist for the actual treatment — which is where we come in.
According to the ADA, it’s anything involving severe pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or signs of infection. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us — we can help you decide over the phone.
There’s typically an emergency exam and X-ray fee, which similar to any new evaluation. We’ll walk you through the cost before any treatment begins, and most insurance plans cover a portion of the exam.
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your visit whenever possible, so you know what to expect.

Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if it’s dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or your own saliva and get to a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
Depending on the cause, relief can come from an extraction, a root canal, a same-day filling, or a repaired crown. We’ll diagnose the source of the pain first, then recommend the fastest path to relief.
Costs vary by case, but we offer new patient discounts, an in-house dental plan, and financing through CareCredit and Cherry to help make emergency care affordable, even without insurance.
