I followed Dr. Shane Maule to his newly opened practice with his twin brother. In the past, I had major TMJ issues, with all the accompanying problems and pain. This is the place for dental miracles and a sense of ""home."" Come on in, put on your headphones as you watch your favorite on Netflix, and get a $59 cleaning by one of these two KIND souls. You'll feel at home too!

Your Dental Home When Life Happens

Fast, Gentle Pain Relief

Pain stops first. Then we stabilize the tooth and map a conservative path forward. If a simple repair solves it, that’s what we recommend. If a larger fix is best for durability, we’ll explain why—using photos and scans so you can choose with confidence.

Same-Day Availability & Treatment

We hold time each day for urgent visits. When scheduling and clinical needs allow, we treat the problem the same day—repairs, temporary crowns, extractions, or root canals. If full treatment isn’t appropriate right away, we stabilize you, relieve pain, and book the next step fast.

Cost, Insurance, and Payments

You’ll receive a straightforward estimate before treatment. We accept most major plans, submit claims for you, and offer payment options to fit your budget. Relief shouldn’t wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?

We work with most major dental plans, submit claims for you, and explain your benefits before treatment. No insurance? We offer flexible payment options to fit your budget. Call and our team will review your coverage and costs in minutes.

What should I do for a severe toothache?

Rinse with warm salt water, take OTC pain relievers as directed, and apply a cold compress to the cheek. Avoid placing aspirin on the gums. Call our Phoenix office right away—we’ll find the cause with digital imaging and provide same-day relief whenever possible.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Often—if you act fast. Hold the tooth by the crown, gently rinse, and place it back in the socket or in milk. Come to our East Cactus Rd location immediately; teeth replanted within an hour have the best chance.

How much does emergency dental care cost in Phoenix?

Costs depend on the solution (exam/X-ray vs. root canal, extraction, or crown). We give a clear estimate up front, help you use insurance, and offer payment plans so you can get relief now and manage costs over time.

Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?

Come to an emergency dentist for most issues (toothaches, infections, broken teeth, lost crowns). Go to the ER first if you have uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing/swallowing, or a suspected jaw fracture—then follow up with us in Phoenix for definitive dental care.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments in Phoenix?

Yes. We reserve time daily for urgent visits and often treat the problem the same day—repairs, temporary crowns, extractions, or root canals—when clinically appropriate. Call early for the fastest availability.

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Severe tooth pain, swelling or infection, a knocked-out or broken tooth, lost fillings or crowns, bleeding that won’t stop, or trauma from sports/accidents. If it’s keeping you from eating, sleeping, or working, call our North Phoenix office for same-day help.
