The Problem

Dental Pain Doesn't Wait. Don't Make It.

Throbbing tooth pain takes over your whole day. You can't focus, can't sleep, can't eat on that side.

A broken tooth feels like a cliff in your mouth. A knocked-out tooth has a survival window measured in hours, not days. An abscess is an infection, and infections don't get better on their own.

When you're in it, the only thing that matters is getting seen.

The Agitation

The Wrong Move Will Cost You More Than the Right One

Waiting it out. Pain that comes and goes is the tooth warning you, not healing. Infections don't resolve on their own. They spread.

Going to the ER. ERs manage pain and rule out wider infection. They can't fix the tooth. You'll leave with a prescription and the same problem, plus an ER bill on top of the dental bill.

Handling it at home. Every hour a knocked-out tooth, deep crack, or lost crown sits without professional care, the situation gets harder to fix.

The single best move is to get a real dentist on the phone.

The Solution

Same-Day Emergency Care at Jayhawk Dental

When you call us with an emergency, we do everything we can to see you the same day.

Describe what's happening to our team. They'll triage by phone and slot you in. If we can see you within hours, we will.

You arrive at a practice that has been treating emergencies on Iowa Street for 25 years. On-site sedation, CEREC same-day crowns for broken teeth, and a full restorative team led by Dr. Yasin if your emergency turns into a longer-term plan.

You won't be triaged in one office and treated in another. We handle it here.

Comfortable, calm dental treatment environment
What We Treat

Common Emergencies We Handle In-Office

  • Severe toothache

    Throbbing, pulsing, or constant pain. Often a sign of infection or a deep cavity reaching the nerve.

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth

    From a sports injury, a hard bite, or sudden trauma. We can place a temporary or same-day permanent crown to protect the tooth.

  • Knocked-out tooth

    Time matters. Call us on your way. We'll give you instructions over the phone while we prepare for your arrival.

  • Dental abscess or infection

    Swelling, fever, a bad taste, a visible bump on the gum. Treated with drainage, antibiotics, and root canal therapy where needed.

  • Lost or broken crown or filling

    Often fixable in a single visit, so the tooth is protected before you walk out the door.

  • Urgent extraction

    When a tooth cannot be saved, removing it stops the pain immediately. We can talk replacement options once you are out of pain.

In a Single Visit

One Trip, One Fix, Back to Your Life

We treat most dental emergencies start to finish in our Lawrence office.

  • Same-day CEREC crowns

    A permanent crown manufactured and placed in a single visit for eligible cases. No two-week wait, no temporary you have to baby.

  • Root canal therapy

    The fastest path out of severe tooth pain caused by nerve infection.

  • Fillings and repairs

    For chips and cavities causing pain. Fast, comfortable, and done.

  • Extractions with sedation

    When the tooth cannot be saved, we can remove it the same visit. Oral sedation and nitrous oxide available if you need them.

Paying For Your Care

Don't Let Cost Stop You From Calling

Emergency care is more affordable than letting the problem grow. We file insurance directly, offer member pricing on emergency procedures, and have financing for anything left over.

In-Network Insurance

  • Delta Dental
  • Cigna
  • Aetna

We file claims directly so your benefits apply to your quote before any work begins.

In-Office Membership Plan

Our in-office membership plan covers your routine care for a flat annual fee, including cleanings, exams, and standard X-rays, plus member pricing on everything else.

Flexible Financing

  • Sunbit
  • CareCredit

Split larger treatment plans into monthly payments that fit your budget. Many plans include no-interest options when paid on schedule.

If you're in pain, call first. We will sort the payment side out alongside the treatment, not as a gate in front of it.
