Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments: Immediate Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule—they disrupt your workday, interrupt family gatherings, and can turn a peaceful night into hours of discomfort. At Marco V. Colella, DMD, PLLC, we understand that when dental pain strikes or trauma occurs, waiting days for treatment isn’t just inconvenient—it can lead to worsening conditions, unnecessary suffering, and more complex treatment needs. As your dedicated Batavia dentist with over 12 years of emergency care experience, I’ve structured our practice specifically to accommodate urgent dental needs with same-day appointments that provide prompt relief and expert care. Our commitment to emergency availability reflects our belief that responsive care is essential to both your immediate comfort and long-term oral health.
