Bring Back Your Smile With Restorative Treatment
Your smile is in skilled hands here if you come in with a dental emergency. We have helped many patients with their dental disasters, so you can feel confident in the level of care you'll receive from us. Along with our expertise, our office uses modern technology like digital and panoramic X-rays and digital scanners for your treatment.
Plus, you can choose your sedation option if you're nervous and need to take the edge off your anxiety. We offer inhaled sedation with laughing gas, oral conscious sedation in pill form, and IV sedation to put you in a sleeplike state. You can also relax with a pillow, blanket, and headphones if you want.
Your dentist may use some of these services to treat your dental emergency:
- Tooth Fillings - We offer both amalgam (silver) fillings and tooth-colored composite fillings to repair dental damage.
- Same-Day Crowns - Our CEREC system will make a new crown for your tooth repair while you wait. It's so convenient not to have to wear a temporary and return for a second visit.
- Root Canal Treatment - Your dentist can stop your toothache and save your tooth from extraction with a root canal.
- Tooth Removal - Your tooth may need removal to protect the health of your other teeth and gums.
Take Necessary Steps at Home Before You Arrive
We always aim to see patients the same day whenever possible to treat urgent dental care situations. However, there are steps you can take at home to find relief from pain or to handle the emergency situation before you arrive.
- For tooth pain, swish your mouth with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the affected area, or take a store-bought pain reliever like Tylenol or aspirin.
- For a broken tooth, collect the pieces you can find and place them in a container of milk or saliva.
- If you've lost a tooth, you must see us right away. Keep it moist with milk or saliva. If you get here soon enough, we may be able to put your tooth back in its socket.

Commonly Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies
What can you do for my dental emergency?
When you come in for a dental emergency, we'll first assess your condition to determine the next steps. Depending on your situation, we will recommend particular services to restore your smile. They may include a tooth-colored filling to repair dental decay, a same-day dental crown to strengthen a damaged tooth, a root canal to repair an infected tooth, or a tooth extraction if we're not able to save your tooth.
What are some common dental emergencies?
There are few emergencies your dentist hasn't seen in his 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.
Can I prevent dental emergencies?
No one can anticipate every possible dental emergency, but you can take steps to reduce your odds of having such a problem. Following ADA recommendations - brushing and flossing daily and getting regular dental cleanings - reduces your risk of tooth infections and gum disease. Plus, wearing athletic mouthguards during sports can protect your teeth from injuries.
What should I do if I knock out a permanent tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If it's dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing away attached tissue. If possible, place it back into the socket or keep it moist in saliva while seeking immediate dental care. Acting quickly may improve the chance of saving the tooth.
What should I do if my dental crown falls off?
Keep the crown if you can find it and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Don't use household glue to put it back in place. The exposed tooth may be sensitive or vulnerable to damage, so arrange a dental appointment as soon as possible to have it evaluated and repaired.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Unlike bone, cracked tooth enamel cannot repair itself. Small cracks may only need minor treatment, while deeper cracks can expose the inner tooth and lead to pain or infection. Having the tooth examined early gives you the best chance of protecting it before the crack becomes more serious.
