Emergency Dentist in West Hollywood
Fast guidance for tooth pain, broken teeth, swelling, lost crowns, and urgent dental concerns in West Hollywood.
Urgent Dental Care When Something Feels Wrong
Dental emergencies rarely come out of nowhere. Most start with something quieter: a crack that’s been widening for months, an infection nobody caught in time, a filling that finally gave out, or a bite that’s been off just enough to wear down a tooth. As an emergency dentist in West Hollywood, Dr. Hansel Montilla looks past the immediate pain to figure out what’s actually going on: your tooth structure, gum health, bite, and overall oral health all get checked before he recommends a next step.
The goal isn’t just to get you out of pain. It’s understanding why the problem happened, walking you through your options in plain terms, and if the damage goes beyond a simple repair, planning for solutions like a same-day crown or emergency dental implants.

Signs You May Need an Emergency Dentist
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent or intense tooth pain may be caused by infection, decay, cracks, bite problems, or other issues that need dental evaluation.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth should be checked quickly, especially if there is pain, sensitivity, or sharp edges.
Swelling or Possible Infection
Facial swelling, gum swelling, pressure, fever, or pus may be signs of infection and should not be ignored.
Lost Crown or Filling
A lost crown or filling can expose the tooth to sensitivity, decay, or further damage if it is not evaluated.
Pain When Biting
Pain when biting or chewing may indicate a cracked tooth, high bite, infection, or structural weakness.
Dental Trauma
Injuries to the teeth, gums, lips, or jaw should be evaluated quickly to determine the safest next step.
Emergency Dental Care Options at GeDental Wellness
No two emergencies look the same, which is why Dr. Hansel Montilla starts by figuring out what’s actually causing your pain before jumping to treatment. Emergency dentistry at GeDental Wellness in West Hollywood might mean restoring a broken tooth, replacing a lost crown, clearing up an infection, or repairing a damaged filling and for more extensive damage, that can include planning toward a restorative solution like a same-day crown or emergency dental implants.
Tooth Pain Evaluation
Tooth pain may come from decay, cracks, infection, bite problems, or damaged restorations. Dr. Montilla evaluates the cause before recommending treatment.
Lost Crown or Filling Care
A lost crown or filling can leave the tooth sensitive or vulnerable to further damage. Call our office so we can guide you on the next step.
Broken or Cracked Tooth Repair
A broken or cracked tooth may need bonding, a filling, a crown, a same-day crown for qualifying cases, or another restorative option.
Infection or Swelling Guidance
Swelling, pressure, fever, or pus may be signs of infection. Our team can help determine whether urgent dental care or medical attention is needed.

Posted on Google Jeanette TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have always been terrified of dental appointments, but after a couple years of neglect I knew it was time to face those fears head on. From the moment I arrived I felt cared for.. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Janae made me feel completely at ease on all levels, including insurance questions. Dr. Montilla carefully explained everything that we needed to do to take care of my dental issues. He is patient and gentle and has gained my full trust. I like that we are taking care in a heathy manner, not just "covering up" with a quick fix. I'm so pleased to have a dental office that truly cares and I will recommend Dr. Montilla to anyone and everyone.Posted on Google Matt MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Dentist’s Office in LA! My teeth have never looked better and it’s all thanks to themPosted on Google Bryan PalaciosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I previously posted this review under the wrong practice by mistake, so I wanted to repost it here for the correct office. I started going to Dr. Jay M. Schulman’s office when Dr. Montilla took over, and since day one I’ve felt so welcomed by Christina, Iliana, and Dr. Montilla. They were able to fix my chipped front tooth beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After going to my previous dentist for over 10 years, making the switch was a bit scary, but it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made. Janae joined the team not long after, and she’s been such a sweetheart as well! Everyone here is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients. They also check insurance coverage and always consult you before any procedures so you can make an informed choice. I have my Invisalign which is something that has been in my bucket list ever since Elementary school. (Even though I still had my baby teeth - I just always wanted a nice smile). I highly recommend visiting them! You’ll be in great hands!Posted on Google thomasj peningerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love the whole GeDental team! They are always caring and thoughtful. I went to them after having been terrified of dentists, and they have completely cured my fears.Posted on Google Stephan BaukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were able to fit me in last minute and gave me the best experience I could imagine, in spite of the circumstances (dental emergency…). Really happy with the work they did!Posted on Google Robert BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Dentist!. I've been with this practice for decades and I highly recommend Dr. Montilla and entire staff. They are all the best!Posted on Google Benecia JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Montilla is absolutely amazing! He’s very passionate and genuinely cares for his patients dental health!!Posted on Google Alana CuzorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Montilla is the best! I’ve had some preventative dental work done by him, and just did a crown which was done with a 3D scan and then made in-office on the same day. After numerous dental procedures, trials, and tribulations at other practices over the years, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Montilla!Posted on Google Travis CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. precise and friendlyPosted on Google Maurice LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Gedental and Dr. Montilla more. I have had horrible past experiences with dentists all my life in Los Angeles, with Dr. Montilla’s attention to detail and genuine care for not only my oral health/goals but my comfort and experience in his office I have completely changed my view on my dental appointments and would even say I look forward to them. 10/10!!!
