Guide to After-Hours, Urgent Concerns & Emergencies

Legacy Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Brockton, MA

After-Hours Care & Emergencies

At Legacy Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, our patient’s health and safety are our top priority—even after regular office hours. If you experience a true emergency call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

For our post-operative patients with urgent concerns that don’t require ER care—like severe pain, swelling, or complications after a recent procedure—please contact our office and follow the prompts to reach the on-call oral surgeon. We’re here to help guide you through what’s urgent, what can wait, and how to stay safe until you're seen.

If the office is closed, call 508-586-5445 and you will be directed to our answering service. If needed, they will contact our on call surgeon for further instructions.
