Understandably, you may feel anxious if you’re experiencing a dental emergency. If so, you can receive laughing gas, which will relax you quickly when you breathe it in through a mask worn over your nose. Unlike some other methods of relaxation, it also wears off quickly. You’ll feel alert, not groggy, following your treatment.

The first visit the assistant who did my tour and walked me through everything was very kind. Today topped it. The hygienist was comforting and encouraging during my cleaning (I requested to only see her next time). The dentist and his assistant during my fillings afterwards were equally as comfort and encouraging. I will admit I was nervous and they did everything possible to make me comfortable and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This will now be mine and my family’s go-to dentist.
Had 3 fillings this morning with the new laser. It was the most pleasant cavity filling I have ever had in my life. No numbing and minimal pain, felt like a slight tooth ache barely. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone in the Colorado Springs area. I have also gotten several retainers here which were done with high tech scanning and fit great. Thank you!
I got 7 fillings at this office and it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Summer is THE most kind and caring dentist. He is constantly checking in and really cares about his patients. I didn’t feel any pain and his work and his assistants work was very quick. Parking is a breeze and his office location is pretty cool. There’s a little cafe downstairs. 10/10 Dr. Summer is now our family dentist and we couldn’t be happier. We drive an hour and a half to get to his office because he’s that good.
Had a wonderful first visit! Everyone from the front desk, to Leslie, to Dr. Sommers made me feel welcome and comfortable. They empowered me to be able to decide what is the best route to take care of some issues with my teeth. They pointed out things I have never had a dentist point out. I would recommend to everyone!
My experience at the office of Dr. Sommer was excellent. The staff was professional, highly skilled and warm. I found the communication between the dentist and myself, before and after my procedure, to be the best I’ve experienced in a medical facility. Kudos!
Both my husband and I are so relieved we found a dentist that is so professional and listen to us. We have been 4 years with Dr. Sommer and the only thing we regret is we didn’t find him earlier. Staff are very friendly and always smiling when we come in and listen to us when we ask them about availability for next appointments.
I have PTSD surrounding some medical experiences so I was very nervous to go to a dentist again. I’ve been to this office 3 times now and can honestly say they are doing things right. ALL the staff I’ve met are incredibly nice, understanding, patient, compassionate, etc. Dr Sommer took the time to discuss different options with me and answer all my questions without making me feel less than. He is willing to try holistic approaches that are less invasive too. The hygienists are gentle and really listen to your concerns. Last time I was second guessing getting my fillings and one of them told me to listen to my body and if I wasn’t ready then we should wait. I’ve never had a medical professional tell me to listen to my body! I felt very validated and understood. My husband also has gone here and they were able to avoid doing a root canal! We are very happy with this practice and think we will fly out to see them when we eventually move away. I never write reviews but felt so comfortable at this dentist office that I want others to know it’s a safe place with honest, caring people.
I am absolutely proud to say I have finally found MY dentist! Leslie and Dr. Sommer were so knowledgeable and provided me with detailed information regarding my oral health and ways to improve it. I didn’t feel like just another patient. They actually took time to get to know ME and not just my teeth. Definitely recommending to my family and friends and whoever is reading this post. Excited for my future treatment for sure!
Everyone at this dentist’s office is very kind, welcoming, and accommodating! Haven’t had any big procedures done yet (thank gourd) but so far have enjoyed every cleaning!
Most gentle hygienist, Leslie.. Teeth felt wonderful afterward. Tea and coffee stains all gone. Dr. SOMMER did an excellent job keeping me comfortable during a filling recently and 5 crowns a few years ago. I’ve had a lot of work done on my mouth with orthodontists and dentists. He is the best of the best. Now that I’ve moved out of state, I gladly drive 3 hours just to keep him as my dentist. With periodontal disease, I have seen substantial improvement because he has treated me with a bacterial reduction Lazer. Treatment is painless and Dr. SOMMER is the only one I have been able to find who utilizes this state of the art technology.
You can go to the ER if you’re experiencing dental distress such as a toothache or a broken tooth. However, with no dentist on staff, you won’t actually be able to get treatment for your problem and will still need to visit a dentist afterward. They can prescribe antibiotics if you have a fever or other signs of infection. If you are unable to stop bleeding at home, they can help with that as well.
When in doubt, it is always best to bring your concerns to us. Our team will get right to work on reducing your pain and finding a solution to your unanticipated oral health dilemma. For example, if you have had a tooth knocked out, call us right away. The earlier you get here, the more likely it is that Dr. Sommer will be able to reinsert your tooth into its socket.
Yes. We accept cash, check, credit cards, and a third-party financing plan. Plus our Springs Dentist Savings Club covers the cost of one emergency exam a year, if needed. If you have any questions or concerns about paying for your dental health care, please contact our Colorado Springs office ahead of time to discuss your payment options. If you do carry insurance, we can help you better understand your benefits and even file claims for you.
There are few emergencies that Dr. Sommers hasn’t seen over his many years of practice. Some are certainly more common than others. Emergencies that we see often include toothaches caused by a cavity or an infection, cracked teeth, broken teeth, and broken dental restorations. In most cases, we’re able to resolve all these situations with restorative dentistry.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
