Emergencies

A dental emergency can be the result of an accident or injury, but it can also be the result of needing to get treatment that you have been putting off for a while. If you are hurting or have had an accident, it is important that you receive treatment right away.

Whatever the reason, Dr. Barotz will do what he can to see you the same day and get you out of pain. And at Barotz Dental, our dentists provide personalized follow-up care. Dr. Barotz or Dr. Zeitlin will personally give you a follow-up call in the evening after treatment to make sure you are comfortable and satisfied with the work you had done. That’s the Barotz Dental Difference.

Putting off dental treatment only increases the risk of permanent damage later, and can result in the need for lengthy and more expensive treatment down the road. If you are in pain, have lost a filling or have broken a tooth, please call our emergency number now.

If you have a dental emergency, call Dr. Barotz at Barotz Dental at (720) 253-1891.  Whether or not you have been our patient in the past, Dr. Barotz will make sure that you are seen and helped as soon as possible.  If you call after hours, you will be referred to our emergency contact line for immediate help.
