What We Evaluate

If something has broken, chipped, or started hurting, call the office. Dr. Pooler will evaluate the situation and walk you through exactly what needs to happen next.

Chipped teeth

Minor and cosmetic, or the visible part of something deeper. We take a look and explain your options.

Broken teeth

Cracked and broken teeth are among the concerns we routinely evaluate.

Extractions

Our first goal is always to save your natural tooth. When an extraction is the right path, we use thorough local anesthesia and a careful, patient technique.

Severe tooth pain

Severe, throbbing pain is often a sign of an infection or abscess that needs attention. Do not wait for it to become unbearable.

Infections and abscesses

Dental abscesses and infections are routinely evaluated here.

Lost fillings and crowns

A filling or crown that has come out is worth a call, even if it is not painful yet.

Not sure if it counts? Describe what happened and we will tell you what to do next.

Dr. Pooler diagnoses it

Sometimes that means treatment in the office, sometimes antibiotics to manage an infection, and occasionally a referral to a trusted specialist.
TODAY’S AVAILABILITY

Can You See Me Today?

We may be able to see you the same day, depending on the time of your call and the care you need. Call the office to confirm current availability.

Call as early in the day as you can

If you are in pain, an early call gives us the best chance of fitting you in. Calling late in the afternoon makes same-day treatment difficult, but we will always work to find a solution for you.

After hours

If a dental emergency happens outside our normal business hours, call our main office number and leave a detailed message on the doctor’s emergency line. Dr. Pooler will try to respond that same day.

What an emergency visit costs

There is a fee for an emergency exam and typically for the X-rays needed to diagnose the problem. We will discuss those costs when you arrive and give you a clear estimate for any treatment needed after that.

WHO YOU WILL SEE

Born and Raised in Jacksonville

Dr. Quinton Pooler is a Jacksonville native who is proud to serve his hometown. A graduate of Florida State University and the VCU School of Dentistry, he brings a modern approach to a practice that has been a cornerstone of Jacksonville since 1978.

“I used to dread the dentist — bad experiences as a kid. Dr. Pooler’s team changed that completely. They’re so patient and gentle. For the first time, I actually don’t mind going.”
Sarah M.
“Finding a dentist the whole family trusts isn’t easy. My kids actually look forward to coming here — and my 4-year-old asks when he can go back. That says it all.”
Emily R.

We use local anesthesia to thoroughly numb the area. You will likely feel some pressure or pushing, and our gentle technique is designed to keep any discomfort to an absolute minimum. After the procedure you will get detailed, easy-to-follow aftercare instructions, and we are a phone call away during your recovery.

We are an out-of-network practice. If you have a PPO plan, you typically have out-of-network benefits, and we are more than happy to help you use them. Our team will call your insurance provider, deal with the paperwork, and file claims on your behalf. We also offer financing through CareCredit.
