A cracked tooth at dinner. A sudden throbbing that wakes you at 2 a.m. A knocked-out tooth during your child’s soccer game. Dental emergencies arrive without warning, and when they do, every minute matters. At Sopris Smiles, we prioritize urgent cases and work to get Sheridan-area patients in as quickly as possible — often the same day.
Dr. Golnaz Samimifar is equipped to handle most dental emergencies in-house, which means resolving the problem completely rather than stabilizing and referring. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, call us directly at (303) 761-2999. You can also explore our full range of dental care for Sheridan patients.
Understanding what qualifies as a dental emergency helps you act faster when it matters most. Not every toothache demands same-day care, but certain situations genuinely cannot wait. According to the CDC, tooth disorders account for nearly 2 million emergency department visits each year — most of which a dental office could have addressed more effectively and at lower cost.
Intense, persistent pain unresponsive to over-the-counter medication. Often signals infection or nerve involvement that requires immediate evaluation.
Cracks extend quickly. A fractured tooth causing pain or temperature sensitivity needs same-day evaluation to prevent further damage.
Swelling, fever, or a pimple on the gum near a tooth signal infection that can spread rapidly. Call immediately — this is a medical urgency.
A lost crown, broken filling, or dislodged veneer leaves tooth structure exposed. Call us to assess urgency — some need same-day attention, others can wait a day.
Our Sheridan-area patients benefit from a practice that invests in technology that makes emergency treatment faster, more precise, and more comfortable. Our CEREC system allows us to design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment when a tooth fractures — no temporary, no second visit. Our Solea® CO2 laser allows many soft-tissue emergency procedures without anesthetic injections, which is especially valuable for anxious patients in an already stressful situation.
Custom ceramic restorations in one appointment. No temporaries, no waiting with a vulnerable tooth.
Soft-tissue procedures without injections — faster, more comfortable for anxious emergency patients.
Full 3D scan of tooth, root, and surrounding bone lets Dr. Golnaz assess damage completely before treatment begins.
For ongoing restorative care after an emergency, explore our restorative dentistry for Sheridan patients.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
When you are in pain or facing a dental crisis, you need a provider who will take your situation seriously and deliver care you can trust. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Colorado Dental Association, the Metro Denver Dental Society, and the American Dental Association. She brings that depth of training, along with genuine compassion, to every emergency case.

Do not wait for an emergency to worsen. Contact our office and we will get you the care you need as quickly as possible.
Call us immediately — time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown only, not the root. If it is clean, try gently replacing it in the socket and holding it there. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Do not rinse it with water or let it dry out. The sooner you reach us, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day. When you call, we assess your situation and get you in as quickly as possible. For severe pain, swelling, or trauma, let us know immediately so we can prioritize your case.
For severe swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or signs of serious spreading infection, go to the nearest emergency room. For other urgent situations, call our office number and follow the after-hours message. Dr. Golnaz personally follows up as quickly as possible.
No. We welcome new patients with dental emergencies. We will evaluate your situation and get you taken care of. Establishing a longer-term care relationship can happen after the immediate crisis is resolved.
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of emergency visits. We verify your coverage before treatment begins and walk you through your out-of-pocket estimate clearly. For patients without insurance, we offer membership plan options that provide predictable access to care.
