About Emergency Tooth Doctor East
Based on Southeast Stark Street in the Mill Park area of Portland, Oregon, Emergency Tooth Doctor East is a dental practice serving the area. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Nice doctor, relieved my pain quickly and skillfully. Was also able to talk with them on the phone. Would recommend.
Great experience, Very qualified dentistry and staff. Honest pricing.
I had a great experience here! I needed a tooth removed after it suddenly got infected and I went in, and they pulled it a couple days later (not immediately because I needed to take antibiotics to dull the infection). It was painless and a pleasant experience! Stunned that I could get in so fast and it was so pleasant. Affordable too without insurance!
They helped me right away with antibiodics and said I need either tooth pulled or root canal. The antibiodics killed the pain. I went to sleep dentistry and they said I just needed a crown. The pain went away from the antibiodics but came back so bad a week after I stopped the antibiodics. So the emergency dentist was right. Always get another opinion.
Dr Shoemaker saved me from a lot of pain and misery this weekend as I wait for a root canal with my regular dentist this week. He helped explain why I was in so much pain and was able to treat me enough to make the next few days bearable. The whole staff was really helpful and they were able to see me same day on a Saturday. I couldn’t be more grateful, thank you!
Honestly the dentist herself was quick and amazing however a year later they tried to bill me for work they didn't do. What made matters worse is that they're trying to bill me for service they did not do and when I went to the office they don't even seem to know what is going on or why I'm there. This place is a wreck.
Prior to procedure I asked about antibiotics or pain medication prior to the procedure they assured me they would give both. Soon as procedure was over the receptionist handed me a slip of paper that said to take over the counter Tylenol and ibuprofen. Which is fine tbh-but I was treated like I was drug seeking. I’ve given birth without epidurals, I do not take strong pain pills for anything except post op, when bone, muscle, tissue etc are cut into.. also I developed an infection 3 days post op. This was one of the most painful /slow recoveries. If you do have to come here for an extraction you will be disfigured and need multiple bone graft procedures before you can get an implant. If you need an extraction go to an oral surgery center. Do not make my mistake. Emergency tooth Doctor double charged me. I had to pay 550 for extraction after they told me that my insurance would cover it. Then had to fight for weeks to get a refund after finding out that my insurance also paid them 440$
