Office Reviews

I am terrified of dentists, but, broke a front tooth and had to go. Called and got right in and cannot say enough good things about this place!

Excelente atención y recomiendo para cualquier tratamiento dental que usted nesecite

I absolutely freaking love these guys! I have been coming here for the better part of a year now….my teeth were in horrible condition from dry mouth, lack of hygine and other mistakes. Dr. Ridder is absolutley amazing. Very educated in her field, makes you feel very comfortable about whatever procedure is going on, and for someone with extreme dental hygine that is a BLESSING! 5/5 would recommend!!

Love this office! I have the the worst anxiety but Isaiah and Dr. Ridder were so nice and helped me feel at ease. I definitely reccomend this Dentist 100% ! Thank you !!

I’m from out of town and had an emergency. Dr. Ridder got me in and took care of everything on short notice. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I felt confident from the start and they fixed me up super quick. I highly recommend this place.

I originally came in with a tooth infection. Dr Ridder fixed me right up and all the staff were super friendly. This is now my permanent dentist. They not only take care of emergencies but also do crowns and regular dental care. They are also open later than most dentist. I would highly recommend this dentist!

Dr.Ridder is amazing. The staff is amazing as well, very kind & comforting. Ive had bad experiences with past dentists, and they were by far the best. I came in to do a root canal, and you always hear bad things about the procedure, but she made me so comfortable, i didnt feel a thing, and it was so quick, with all that, youd think i wouldnt be up to doing anything after, but i even went home and finished about day of cleaning & laundry, etc. Im definitely sticking with this doctor for all my dental work.

I’ve been here a few times now for different needs. Everyone I’ve talked to here has been extremely nice and helpful. Brianna though goes above and beyond to be welcoming and kind. She is so sweet and helpful and definitely makes me feel a little more calm, which is helpful since I have a little bit of anxiety about the dentist.

Everyone was absolutely amazing! I need a tooth extracted that was pretty badly abscessed and they did amazing work. Even though I am pregnant, the dentist was able to take good care of me. I would highly recommend this please for any emergency. Thank you again to the entire staff that helped me today with my tooth emergency!

Doctors are professional, staff are very, very friendly, and they have ALWAYS called us back when they missed our phone call. We’re very blessed to be in their care.

Message: Was in town for business and walked in for an emergency! They fit me in immediately! Dr. Pham was awesome! Answered all my questions and gave me all my options and the details I would need to undergo in the future with the options. He did a wonderful job... I was in a lot of pain, but with all the work he did, it’s surprising that I wasn’t in more pain than I was!! Thank you, Dr. Pham!

Dr. Pham and his assistant took very good care of me. I called The Emergency Tooth Doctor because Gentle Dental kept giving me the run around about needing to have this appointment and that appointment before getting my tooth pulled(and they cancelled my appointment). I simply wanted the tooth out of my mouth that was causing me pain for two weeks straight. When I called The Emergency Tooth Doctor they got me in the same day, did the exam, went over the options (root canal/cap vs extraction) then pulled the nuisance tooth. I plan on using them for my regular visits going forward. The entire experience was very easy and as pleasurable as a tooth extraction can be. Thank you Dr. Pham, assistant and The Emergency Tooth Doctor.

I had to go in and have a impacted wisdom tooth pulled and they did a amazing job! Dr. King is a miracle worker, I felt nothing the whole entire extraction and was in and out in no time! I would recommend them to anyone!

I’ve been to these godsends masquerading as dentists 3 times now and have had appointments with Dr. King and Dr. Miller both of whom have been nothing short of awesome. I came to them with a severely jacked up mouth and Dr. Miller went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out and I will be forever grateful.

If I could give more stars I would. After years of serious dental issues, seeing a ton of dentists who pawned me off on others or did minimal or garbage work, I have found my forever dentist.
Dr. Loi Nguyen is so beyond fabulous. Talk about knowing his stuff!!!! He’s extremely caring, gentle, honest. Makes the best plan for you with many factors kept in consideration. He is my knight in shining armor. I’ve had more work done in 2 weeks ( 8 extractions) than I have had in 7 years. Again, he really knows his stuff. I trust him 100%. And the staff! I’ve never been treated with so much love. I’ve been hugged, had my hand held, talked thru painful shots. I honestly couldn’t have ended up in better or more caring hands. I also love how quickly you can get in. If your in pain, in and out of pain the same day. And open 7 days?! Awesome! Prices are very reasonable. They take your ins. And do all the leg work. I couldn’t be more thrilled and this is my forever dentist.
In fact, even my 20 year old daughter is now a pt. And sitting in the dentist chair as we speak!!!
Come here for everything. Not just an emergency but general dentistry as well. Xrays. Cleaning. Cavities. Crowns. You name it.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Xxxx

I can’t say enough good about Dr Pham. He did my daughter’s root canal with care and ease when she was very anxious.

A co-worker and I were talking when I felt the electrified twang of searing pain. Naturally, what I said next was probably something that probably shouldn’t be said at work… or ever. It was painful but something I’d been dealing with for the better part of a week or more. I was losing sleep and becoming more irritable than I already am. She kindly referred me to The Emergency Tooth Doctor–namely, Dr. Pham. I was NOT really into seeing an immediate care dentist because I didn’t know such a thing existed and I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t have to wait with this pain for eons for an appointment. I was offered an appointment slot that day. Dr. Pham was stellar. He took the time to discuss treatment options, what the different treatments entailed and the risk/benefits associated with them. Although I was being rather unrealistic thinking the tooth just needed a filling (I was in denial), he went along with what I wanted until it became clear that something more extensive needed to happen and he performed my first-ever root canal. I’m not the easiest dental patient to work on. With the exception of most alcoholic beverages, I seem to be immune to numbing agents. I’ve always been like that. It takes a hell of a lot of anesthetic to make me drool. Dr. Pham managed to keep me as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. I appreciate the patience, understanding and kindness that he exhibited in dealing with the challenge I inadvertently threw at him. Thanks Dr. Pham and team! I highly recommend.

The Best. Went here on a Saturday in extreme pain with a broken tooth and a screaming infection. I was most embarrassed about the condition of my teeth due to lack of dental care for several years. I have an extreme fear when it comes to dentist. I was put at ease from the second that I walked through the door. The staff and the Dentist himself were the kindest I have ever seen in a dentist office. (never once did they appear to judge me or the condition of my mouth) As a matter of fact they spent the time to settle me down and kept telling me that it was no big deal, that I didn’t need to be embarrassed, that they had seen much worse. (I doubt that, but none the less it gave me comfort)…. Prices were more than fair for the extraction and follow up care. I will be making follow up appointments to have the dentist start the long road to recovery for a healthy mouth….no fear of being made to feel ashamed or any dirty looks or comments from the staff…..I love this place and look forward to the day I can smile once again with a toothy white smile….

My husband had a tooth break while. My husband had a tooth break while working an overnight shift. The folks at The Emergency Tooth Doctor saw us the very next day- a Sunday! My husband spent 23 years in the military and I must say he hated dental visits until the doctor here fixed his filling. He can not stop raving about what a great dental experience this was. The cost was reasonable, too! Thank you for having such a wonderful practice available for emergency care.

The Emergency Tooth Doctor Eastside. I needed a root canal for almost a year and was lazy about it, I took care of it the best I could without a dentist. It was highly likely to get infected, and it did. I woke up on a Sunday morningand I looked like a monkey with a monkey and a black eye. I had insurance so I called all of the “emergency” dentists open on the weekends. Nobody called me back except for Dr. Pham of the SE location on 125th and Stark. He called me back at 7:00am on Sunday morning and I had the root canal finished by 1:00pm. It was a 50/50 decision to keep the tooth or pull it. I kept the tooth and now have a crown and all my other work done by his office. I would highly recommend giving him a call at least. His office worked with my schedule, budget and most importantly my insurance. My only advice is to take precaution when dealing with a toothache, be proactive! When other dentists are busy, The Emergency Tooth Doctor will help you out!…

Wonderful! Highly Recommended. My daughter was traumatized & in horrible pain after a terrible experience with an extraction at another dentist. She developed an abscess on a Sunday, and I called The Emergency Tooth Doctor’soffice. They were so kind and got her in immediately. They treated her with tender care and prescribed an antibiotic. The cost was amazingly reasonable, cheaper than a regular dental visit! I can’t say enough good things about this office!…

Awsome Service. They were super friendly and didn’t hassel me. They started with the lowest priced solution and would have gone from there if necessary. Any money spent on the first treatment would have gonetoward the next treatment. They really helped me out and I was on my knees in pain that day. Fast and professional. Oh, and I don’t have insurance so the price matters. God Bless and Keep up the good work.…

I woke up one morning to find a big ol’ hunk of an old filling just… gone. I panicked. On my own with no insurance, I was having terrible visions of having to resort to Castaway-esque self-dentistry with ice skates. Fortunately, before I got too carried away, I hopped on the internet to search for answers. I eventually came across The Emergency Tooth Doctor here on Yelp and saw that they were actually okay with us uninsured folks. I called in, they explained to me how to get set up with CareCredit, and I was in one of their (really comfortable) chairs the next morning. The ladies at the front desk were laid back but still super helpful, and my hygienist (Christy?) was pretty hilarious. Knowing my financial state, she and Dr. Tanada focused only on my broken filling and didn’t rattle off a list of all the procedures I should probably get done. They were very understanding and gave me an affordable, if temporary, fix for my problem, and explained how to get a more permanent solution once I can afford it. I should also mention that this was the first time in about 12 years that I’ve been able to sit through a dental appointment without nitrous. I’m usually a wreck when I sit in the chair, but with these fine people, it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had.

I had a tooth partially knocked out playing with my 80lb boxer at 8pm on a Saturday. After going to the emergency room where I was given painkillers and antibiotics, but no advice or referral for weekend dental service, I went online and found The Emergency Tooth Doctors. They were able to put my tooth back in place and splint it to the neighboring teeth while it healed. I did follow up with my own dentist the following Monday, and he was surprised and pleased with the job the folks at the Emergency Tooth Drs. A year later and no one can tell I almost lost one of my front teeth. Good service and totally worth going to for after hour dental emergencies!

Dr. Thomas Pham is one great dentist! If you are looking for a dentist, I would certainly say check him out. But, if you have an emergency at 10pm on a Sunday night, I promise he will be the only one to be there to help with your pain. I broke two teeth eating peanuts on a Saturday night at about 9:30 and he had me in the dentist chair and out of pain by 11pm. Thanks Dr. Pham

Baby, Chicken, Wuss: These are all words that describe me in regard to dental work. Anyway, I neglected a sore tooth for too long, until this Saturday when the tooth finally had enough and said “you know what? Eff you” and decided to revolt by developing a lovely abscess. And by lovely, I mean blindingly painful, can’t get any sleep, handfuls of ibuprofen, awful pain and swelling. I called The Emergency Tooth Doctors at 9am on Sunday; I was in the office at 11. My anxiety was completely out of control. (Dignity and restraint were in very, very short supply for Miss Genna V. on this day. Oh, I lost it, totally lost it.) I was nervous and scared and really embarrassed by the fact that I had let this tooth get to this point due simply to being such a complete child about these things. Dr. Tanada and his assistant calmly assured me that they were there to help….. no problem…..we will get this taken care of. They told me that at any point I could let them know if I felt pain and they would stop and make sure I got properly numbed. I did this many, many times as I was really tense and just burning right though the stuff. They probably had to order more anesthetic after my visit. But it was never a problem, they said this is totally normal and I felt like much less of a blubbering idiot. They said nice things to calm me down and they really did make sure I was comfortable. (The assistant also calmly, gently, reminded me to breathe, many times; pathetically, in situations such of these I do actually need to be reminded.) Anyway, I will keep the yucky details of the issue and my procedure to a minimum but believe me when I say – GO SEE A DENTIST, people, when your teeth hurt! This office just took such good care of me, made me comfortable and went the extra mile to assure that I was leaving their office with aftercare instructions, a few prescriptions, but most importantly pain-free. They took this sobbing FOOL and turned me into someone who would write a 5-star review of a dental office. Prices were totally reasonable too, I thought. They don’t charge any more there simply for the convenience factor. Also they are not just emergent/urgent dentistry – they do regular checkups, fillings, and the like as well. I can’t recommend them enough. They dealt with my trainwreck; they will deal with yours too, and they do it with a smile, a soft voice, and some kind words.

Wonderful staff and clean environment!!! I come here and it always fast and easy! I love this place.

We had to go here in a pinch after my husband lost a bonding on his front tooth on a Saturday morning when our regular dentist was closed.  They fit us in in a few hours and the process was easy.  The resulting bonding looks great.

Garrett Z.

Quality service, staff are friendly and easy to talk to. I've had multiple procedures here and have always felt well cared for. Dentists do an excellent job of explaining the procedures.

Ashley B.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give 100. Honestly. This place has helped me out so much, in ways that words can't even amount to. I had such low self-esteem because of my teeth before being treated here. My front tooth was cracked and it has caused me to hide my smile for two years. Dr. Nyugen and the dental assistants that worked on my mouth today changed all of that. Thank you all so much. Truly.
