Types of Urgent Dental Care

Oral pain and complications will only worsen and be harder to manage without prompt treatment. Receiving efficient urgent dental care from our skilled team is vital to alleviating pain and giving the tooth its best chance of survival and recovery.

We are ready and able to deal with the issues you're facing, regardless of how they have occurred. Some common types of dental emergencies that usually require urgent dental care include:

  • Avulsed or loose teeth
  • Loose fillings or crowns
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • A tooth infection
  • Swollen gums
  • Bleeding and gum lacerations

Our Advanced Emergency Dental Care Services

Our in-house technology will keep you comfortable while increasing the accuracy of diagnostics as we work hard to swiftly resolve your complication. We can repair single or multiple damaged teeth using our quality fillings and crowns that are customized in a lab to fit securely and naturally into your oral structure for the long term. If we determine that your oral health is being compromised by an infection, we can begin root canal therapy as soon as possible. We will craft an effective treatment plan designed to help you achieve optimal oral health as quickly as we can. If your tooth is beyond repair due to severe decay, infection, or trauma, we offer skilled extractions.

If you feel like you're experiencing a dental emergency, contact us immediately, and we will do our best to fit you into our schedule and see you the same day if possible if you're a patient of record. Even if you've never visited our practice, our dental team will work hard to see you within 1-3 business days to help you achieve relief. Should your situation be complex, our dentist can stabilize your condition and alleviate pain before scheduling a more in-depth procedure on our next available business day.

Emergency Dentistry FAQ

Our practice is ready and capable to begin working on swift solutions for your dental needs as soon as you contact us. It's also common to have questions during an emergency, and our team will work hard to keep you informed every step of the process. Some frequently asked questions regarding emergency dentistry include the following:

Can I contact you after hours if I have an emergency?

We know emergencies don't run on a convenient schedule. If you are suffering from a dental emergency after our regular operating hours, call us immediately and leave a message. Our dentist will call you back as soon as possible and talk you through the problem, setting up a prompt appointment for the next available business day. We may provide after-hours appointments during evenings and weekends for patients of record facing true emergencies.

If your crown has become dislodged and fallen out, retrieve it and call our dental office as soon as you can. We can schedule an appointment to craft you a new one if necessary. Keep your dislodged crown in a clean and safe place, and our dentists will provide any additional instructions needed before arriving for the coming appointment.

If the pain is severe, it may be a dental emergency, as it could be a symptom of an infection or tooth abscess, which is potentially life-threatening if untreated for long. If your toothache comes with fever, facial swelling, and swollen gums, it could be a tooth abscess. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're experiencing a persistent or severe toothache so you can receive the treatment you need and achieve relief from your dental pain.
