Frequently asked questions

How long do dentist appointments take?

Routine dental appointments, like teeth cleanings and dental checkups, take 45 minutes to an hour. Procedures like fillings, crowns, extractions, and dental implants can take up to two hours, depending on the complexity.

Come into Springs Dental for a same-day emergency dentist in Murrieta when you’re experiencing:

  • Severe tooth pain that doesn’t go away

  • A broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth

  • Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw

  • Bleeding that won’t stop after a dental injury

  • A lost filling, crown, or dental appliance causing pain or sensitivity

  • Signs of infection, like a bad taste in your mouth, fever, or pus

If you’re ever unsure, call us and we will guide you on what to do next.

Dental implants can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. A dental implant has three parts: the titanium post, the abutment, and the crown. While the post is typically permanent, the crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.

Invisalign treatment takes between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Mild tooth alignment issues take 6 to 12 months, while more advanced corrections can take over a year.

Yes, we have several options for payment plans and offer CareCredit so you never have to delay getting the dental treatment that you need.
