What Counts as a Dental Emergency in Indianapolis?

A dental emergency in Indianapolis is any sudden tooth pain, injury, or infection that cannot wait for a routine appointment. Bloom Dental's Virginia Ave office holds same-day appointments most days so Fountain Square, downtown, and south-side patients can get seen fast.

Dr. Brandt Finney and Dr. Patrick Kuhns treat emergencies themselves, in-house, at 435 Virginia Ave — a straightforward drive off the I-65/I-70 interchange for patients working downtown near Lucas Oil Stadium, at Eli Lilly's south-side campus, or anywhere along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, whose southeastern spur runs the length of Virginia Ave and ends right in Fountain Square.

Common dental emergencies we see include:

A knocked-out tooth
A severe, throbbing toothache
A broken or chipped tooth
A lost filling or crown
An abscess or facial swelling
Dental trauma from a fall, sports injury, or accident

Every case starts with a CBCT 3D scan so Dr. Finney or Dr. Kuhns can see exactly what is happening below the gumline before deciding on treatment — whether that means a root canal, a repaired crown, or a tooth extraction.

Before You Reach Us

What To Do Right Now: First-Aid Guidance for Common Emergencies

General guidance only, not a diagnosis. Call our Virginia Ave office as soon as you can so we can get you into the schedule.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with water, no scrubbing. Try to place it back in the socket, or hold it between your cheek and gum, or store it in a cup of milk. Call us right away and get to Virginia Ave as fast as you safely can.

Severe Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to clear any food caught between teeth. Do not put aspirin directly on the tooth or gum, it can burn the tissue. Call us to get on the schedule.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces if you can find them. A cold compress on the cheek near the tooth helps with swelling. Call our office and avoid chewing on that side until you are seen.

Lost Filling or Crown

Keep the crown or filling if you still have it and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side, and skip very hot or cold foods and drinks, the exposed tooth can be sensitive. Call for a same-day repair visit when possible.

Abscess or Facial Swelling

A bump on the gum, a bad taste, or swelling near a tooth can point to infection. Call our office the same day you notice it. Do not wait, an untreated infection can spread quickly.

When to Skip the Call and Go to the ER

If you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma, or swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away. This guidance is general information, not a diagnosis.

Why Indianapolis Patients Choose Bloom Dental

Why Choose Bloom Dental for Emergency Care in Indianapolis

Same-Day Openings, Most Days

Call our Virginia Ave office when you are in pain and we will do what we can to work you into that day's schedule. Earlier calls have the best chance of a same-day slot.

Treated In-House, No Referrals Out

Dr. Finney and Dr. Kuhns handle emergency exams, extractions, and root canals themselves at Virginia Ave. You are not sent to a specialist across town while you are in pain.

CBCT Imaging Finds the Real Problem Fast

A 3D CBCT scan at Virginia Ave shows us the root, bone, and nerve in detail before we decide on treatment, so the diagnosis is not a guess from a flat X-ray.

Doctor-Owned, Not a DSO

Bloom Dental is doctor-owned. Treatment decisions at Virginia Ave are made by the dentists in the room with you, not a corporate office reviewing costs from off-site.

Insurance & Financing Options

We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Medicare, DentaQuest, and AlwaysCare. Uninsured patients can ask about our Dental Membership Plan.

Central to Indianapolis

435 Virginia Ave sits just off the I-65/I-70 interchange in Fountain Square, close to downtown, Lucas Oil Stadium, and Eli Lilly's south-side campus. No suburban office park to navigate while you are in pain.

Common Questions

Emergency Dentistry in Indianapolis, IN — Answered

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any dental problem that involves severe pain, an injury to a tooth, or a risk of infection spreading. Common examples include a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache, a broken or chipped tooth, a lost filling or crown, and a swollen jaw or abscess. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, call our Virginia Ave office and our team will help you decide the right next step.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments in Indianapolis?

Yes. We hold same-day appointments most days for patients in pain at our Virginia Ave office in Indianapolis. Call as early in the day as you can so our team can work you into the schedule between Dr. Finney and Dr. Kuhns.

Should I call first or just walk in for a dental emergency?

Call first whenever you can. A quick call lets our team confirm we have a same-day opening, ask a few questions about your symptoms, and prepare the right room and equipment before you arrive. If you cannot reach us by phone during a true emergency, come in and our front desk will help you.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and avoid touching the root itself. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with water, no scrubbing. Try to place it back in the socket facing the right direction, or hold it between your cheek and gum, or store it in a cup of milk. Call our office right away and get to Virginia Ave as fast as you safely can. See the American Dental Association's MouthHealthy dental emergency guidance for additional first-aid steps.

Does dental insurance cover emergency dental visits?

Most plans cover at least part of an emergency exam and X-ray, and often a portion of the treatment that follows. We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Medicare, DentaQuest, and AlwaysCare, and our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins. Patients without insurance can ask about our Dental Membership Plan or financing through CareCredit and Proceed Finance.

What if my emergency happens on a Friday or after hours?

Our Virginia Ave office answers phones on Friday even though the clinical schedule is closed that day, so call and our team will help you find the right next step. For a true emergency involving heavy bleeding, facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or a serious injury, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 rather than waiting for a callback.

How much does an emergency dental visit cost?

Cost depends on the problem and the treatment it needs, so we do not quote a price over the phone. At your visit, we examine the tooth, explain what is wrong, and give you a written estimate before any treatment begins. Insurance, financing, and our Dental Membership Plan can all reduce your out-of-pocket cost.

What if I have facial swelling or think I have an abscess?

Facial swelling and a bad taste near a tooth can point to an infection, which needs attention quickly since it can spread. Call our office the same day you notice swelling. If the swelling is spreading fast, affecting your breathing or swallowing, or comes with a high fever, go to the emergency room immediately.
