Emergency Dentistry in Los Angeles

A knocked-out tooth, a crack, an abscess, a crown that came off on a Friday night, dental emergencies don't schedule themselves, and ER departments can do little beyond antibiotics and painkillers. Los Angeles has a real network of practices holding same day slots and after-hours lines, concentrated in Koreatown, Hollywood and Downtown. The listings below prioritize offices whose reviewers specifically describe being seen the same day, because 'emergencies welcome' on a website and an actual open chair are different things.

807 LA practices offer emergency dentistry, ranked below by rating and review volume.

Emergency Dentistry: what LA patients ask

What should I do with a knocked-out permanent tooth?

Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in milk or held in your cheek and get to a dentist within 30, 60 minutes, reimplantation success drops sharply after the first hour.
