A dental emergency can arise for many reasons. It may be due to a traumatic oral injury, a cracked or fractured tooth, extensive tooth decay, a broken filling, periodontal abscess, dental infection, problematic wisdom tooth, or a painful soft tissue lesion- just to name a few. Whatever the case may be, it’s always a good idea to get a timely evaluation and prompt care. If left untreated, dental problems often worsen, leading to more serious consequences to your oral health and overall well-being.
And, while painful dental problems are typically the reason for an urgent dental visit, we also provide prompt care for broken dental appliances or dentures and dislodged crowns, which are frequently more unsightly and inconvenient than uncomfortable.
Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something is not quite right and though there are many reasons for oral pain, one of the most common complaints and reasons for seeking urgent dental care is a toothache. Whether you simply need a filling, a crown, or require a root canal procedure to save your tooth, we’ll alleviate your discomfort and restore the look and function of the involved tooth.
Dental trauma can result in a defect as minor as a small chip in tooth enamel to a more extensive and painful crack or fracture. With sufficient force, a tooth can even be displaced or completely knocked out of its socket. With prompt emergency care, many injured teeth can be restored and saved.
The last teeth in your mouth to develop, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to fully erupt or may be positioned in the wrong direction. These issues can affect your dental health as well as overall well-being. Our office refers out our posterior extractions to Oral Surgeons that we know and trust.
A broken or lost dental prosthesis or restoration can cause embarrassing gaps in your smile as well as compromise your ability to eat and speak with ease. If you’ve lost or broken a dental filling, denture, crown, or other dental appliance, you can rely on our office to perform a prompt repair or provide a durable and cosmetically pleasing replacement as quickly as possible.
If your dental emergency is painful, if it affects the appearance of your smile, or if you suspect that an infection is present, our office will make every effort to see you as soon as possible for care. While emergency dental care is a service we hope you'll never need, you can rest assured that your oral health is in the best of hands at our office!
