Stephens Emergency Dentist

I had been having severe headaches for about three weeks that finally turned into a toothache in back molar. I thought I could tough it out and things would get better, it didn’t. I ended up going to the emergency room Sunday morning for the pain they tried to put a block in my jaw to no avail. At 11pm on that Sunday night I looked on google and found Dr. Brett Stephen’s office hours were open until 11:30pm. I thought “No way” I had my wife call bc I could barely talk bc of the pain, and I had to keep cold water in my mouth bc the nerve was burning, to my shock Dr.Stephens answered and asked if we wanted to come in now, we packed up all the kids and drove like the wind from Utah county. When we got there he was waiting at the door, he rushed me in. Let me preface with I’ve never had a filling, cavity or a tooth pulled (only wisdom surgery but I was put under anesthesia) So I was pretty nervous, not knowing what to expect. The doctor explained everything very thoroughly. He showed me an x-ray that he shot of my jaw, explained exactly what he was going to do and gave me an option, but while I was thinking, he actually numbed my mouth and my jaw so I could not feel my tooth anymore, it was instant relief from that excruciating pain that I had been dealing with for so long it was not painful and he knew exactly what I needed. He gave me a few minutes to talk with my wife if I wanted the tooth pulled or I needed a crown if he pulled my tooth, he would do an implant. We decided to go with the pulling tooth route in less than 30 minutes I was out of his office and feeling so much better I could actually think and function I was amazed. I didn’t have a ton of pain just from the removal. I actually didn’t feel anything. Dr. Stephen’s Is one of the last good ones out there he is so kind and it’s amazing on a Sunday night in Utah of all places you could find someone like him open and willing to take care of you. I would recommend him to anyone he checked up on me via text the next day and his office has continued to check in to make sure I’m doing well. I will never go anyplace else other than this dentist office ever again thank you to all the staff and his wife for being committed to their craft and being great people. It’s been a week since it happened and my mouth is healing perfectly no issues whatsoever. I wish I could do 10 stars instead of five.

I found Dr.Stephens in 2018 when I lost a crown over a holiday weekend and needed emergency dental services. Since then Dr.Stephens has been my only dentist and has helped on multiple occasions with my emergency dental needs. To say I have bad teeth is an understatement and having spent thousands of dollars over the years and seen countless dentists, I can say that Dr.Stephens is the best I’ve ever been to. I’ve never had a dentist take the time as he does to listen to my concerns and kindly address my fears. He is the absolute best with shots and I have literally taken naps while getting dental work done by Dr.Stephens. I still get nervous going in for dental work due to dental ptsd from previous dentists but it quickly fades once I’m in the chair and he’s there to calm my nerves and put me at ease. In my experience and opinion, he is the best dentist I’ve ever gone to and I now travel from out of state just to have him do my dental work because he is that good. Also, his crowns are phenomenal! Thank you Dr. Stephens!!
