Find Fast Relief From Dental Discomfort

When a dental emergency strikes, you need prompt and expert care. We focus on relieving your pain, restoring function, and preserving your natural smile.
Your dentist can repair damaged teeth, by fixing cracks or breaks with fillings, inlays, or crowns.
We can also address tooth and gum infections with root canals or periodontal treatments.
Your dentist will perform gentle, safe extractions only when a tooth can’t be saved. If you lose a tooth, we can restore your smile with bridges or implant-supported restorations for a natural look.
Our team will carefully examine your smile and recommend the best treatment for your needs. No matter the issue, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Once your emergency has been treated, we’ll focus on long-term prevention. Proper care is essential to avoid recurring issues.
We’ll create a follow-up plan tailored to your needs, including regular checkups and personalized hygiene tips.
Whatever your most pressing dental needs, we help you return to your daily life without worries. With consistent care, you can maintain a healthy, resilient smile for years to come.

Read MoreCommon Questions About Dental Emergencies
If you knock out a tooth, act quickly. Gently rinse the tooth with water without scrubbing it, and try to place it back into the socket if possible. If that’s not an option, store it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist. Call our office immediately. Timely treatment can sometimes save the tooth and reattach it successfully.
A dental emergency often involves sudden pain, bleeding, or damage to your teeth, gums, or jaw. Common emergencies include severe toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and swelling or abscesses. If the pain is intense, or you’re experiencing swelling or bleeding that won’t stop, contact our office right away. Seeking prompt treatment can help prevent further complications and relieve discomfort.
Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to more severe problems, such as infection, tooth loss, or damage to surrounding teeth. Untreated infections can spread beyond the mouth and affect your overall health. Delaying treatment may also result in more extensive and costly procedures down the road. It’s always best to seek immediate care to protect your oral and overall health while preventing future complications.
