Understanding the Costs of Emergency Dental Care in Huntington Beach
Dental emergencies can strike when you least expect them, bringing not only pain and stress but also the question: How much is this going to cost me? At Noleen Dental, we believe that urgent care should never be out of reach. That’s why Dr. Noleen Nguyen and her team are committed to transparent pricing, flexible options, and compassionate care for patients across Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and surrounding areas.
If you’re facing severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or any other dental emergency, you shouldn’t have to delay treatment because of cost concerns. Let’s break down what influences the cost of emergency dental care, what you can expect during your visit, and how Noleen Dental can help relieve pain without breaking your budget. Call our Huntington Beach dental office at (714) 375-0044 now to schedule your emergency dental visit.
What Affects the Cost of Emergency Dental Care?
The cost of emergency dental treatment varies depending on several key factors:
Severity of the Problem
A simple lost filling or lodged food causing pain may require a basic procedure like dental bonding or a deep cleaning. But if you have a dental abscess, severe pain from wisdom teeth, or a partially dislodged tooth, you may need a more complex and costly dental procedure such as a root canal or tooth extractions.
Type of Treatment Needed
Costs vary based on whether your emergency dental care involves:
- Root canal therapy
- Dental crown or bridge repair
- Surgical tooth extraction
- Antibiotics for soft tissue infections
- Replacement of a knocked-out tooth
Each dental treatment comes with its own price range depending on materials, the complexity of the procedure, and the time required.
Insurance Coverage
If you have dental insurance, many dental emergencies are partially or fully covered. At Noleen Dental, we work with most PPO insurance plans and will help verify your benefits during your initial consultation.
Time and Urgency
Weekend or after-hours visits may come with additional fees at some dental practices, especially if you would otherwise end up at a hospital emergency room. Our dental office aims to minimize added costs with same-day scheduling and extended hours.

Common Emergency Procedures and Cost Ranges
Please note: These are general ranges. You’ll receive a specific treatment plan and estimate after your accurate diagnosis by Dr. Nguyen.
- Dental Exam with X-rays: $100–$250
- Tooth Extraction (Simple): $150–$400
- Tooth Extraction (Surgical): $250–$600

- Antibiotics or Infection Management: $100–$300
Whether it’s soft tissue injuries, a broken brace, or a dental abscess, the emergency dental costs vary based on treatment and location in the mouth.
When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?
You should never ignore:
- Severe toothache or pain that won’t go away
- Knocked out tooth
- Excessive bleeding from the gums or mouth
- Swelling of the face or jaw
- Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
- Broken braces or wires
- Injuries to soft tissues like lips, tongue, or inner cheeks
Putting off care may lead to infection, bone loss, or complications that require more expensive procedures later. Emergency dental care often saves both your oral health and your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treating a knocked-out tooth depends on whether it can be re-implanted or must be replaced with a dental implant or bridge. Repositioning and splinting may cost $300–$600, while full replacement can range from $3,000 to $5,000.
Many dental emergencies are covered at least partially under PPO plans. We’ll check your benefits and provide a cost breakdown before beginning treatment.
While a hospital emergency room may help control bleeding or prescribe antibiotics, they often can’t treat the root cause. You’ll likely be referred to a dentist’s office and pay twice. Visiting Noleen Dental saves you time and money.
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter pain medication, and rinse with a mild salt water solution. Do not use sugar-filled gum or attempt to reattach a tooth with household adhesives.
