Same-visit relief
Most emergencies are stabilized in a single visit — re-implantation, root canal initiation, crown re-cement, temporary repair, or extraction.

Emergency Dentist Serving Davidson, NC.
A quick drive up I-77 from Davidson — same-day care for cracked teeth, dental abscess, knocked-out teeth, and severe pain. Bilingual team, most insurance accepted.
Davidson is one of those towns where the dentist you see for routine work might not be the one you can reach when something hurts at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday. Several long-running Davidson families call us first when something urgent happens — partly because we keep emergency capacity open in our schedule, and partly because the drive south on I-77 is genuinely short.
From the brick streets around Davidson College, you can be parked outside our office in about twelve minutes. From the neighborhoods near Davidson Pointe or River Run, it's closer to fifteen. Either way, it's faster than fighting traffic into uptown Charlotte.
Local hook
A short trip south on I-77.
The thing that makes Davidson Davidson — the walkable downtown, the college kids on bikes, the slower pace — also means there isn't a 24-hour pharmacy or urgent dental clinic on every corner. That's fine for most of life. It's less fine when a back molar splits during dinner at Kindred or your kid takes a soccer ball to the face at the rec center.
We've built our practice to absorb those moments. When you call, you talk to someone who can actually look at our schedule and figure out how to fit you in — usually the same day. Sometimes the same hour.
What we treat
The full range of dental emergencies, under one roof.
Severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked tooth, lost crown or filling, dental abscess, soft-tissue injuries, wisdom-tooth flare-ups, and pediatric emergencies — all handled in our office. For the full breakdown of each situation and step-by-step first aid, see our emergency dentistry pillar page.
3D imaging on site
CBCT and digital sensors let us see fractures and infections that conventional x-rays miss — critical when time matters.
Bilingual team
English and Spanish. We can verify benefits and walk you through cost estimates in either language before treatment begins.
Why us
Why Davidson families pick us up the phone.
Most of what an emergency needs — diagnosis, pain management, crown, root canal, extraction, even tooth re-implantation — happens in-house. That matters in an emergency because the alternative is being referred to a specialist 30+ minutes away in Charlotte. With us, you finish in one chair.
We also accept most major dental insurance, including the plans most common with Davidson College staff and the larger Lake Norman employers. If you don't have insurance, we offer payment plans and our in-house wellness plan that takes the sting out of pricing.
Directions
Getting to us from Davidson.
A 12-minute trip up i-77.
Heading south on I-77 is the obvious route. From Davidson College, take Exit 30 south, then continue 7 miles to Exit 36 for Mooresville. Once on NC-150, head east about a mile, turn right onto Main, then quick left onto W McLelland. We're on your right.
If you're coming from the older parts of Davidson near Concord Road, you can also take NC-115 north, which is a quieter drive and adds maybe two minutes.
