Restore Your Smile With Emergency Dental Care
It’s hard to imagine a dental emergency happening to you. However, studies have shown that one in five people experience dental trauma in their lifetime. That means one is likely to happen to you. Whether you knocked out a tooth playing sports or neglecting dental checkups has caught up to you, we’re here to help. Our team will focus on putting a stop to your pain. We have sedation available to ease your nerves, with a choice of laughing gas or IV sedation.
We’ll do an exam and take digital X-rays of your mouth. Depending on our findings, we may recommend:
- Tooth Fillings – If you have a cavity or dental damage, our composite fillings will repair your teeth. This material requires less tooth structure to be removed than metal fillings.
- Root Canals – An infection inside your tooth can cause a great deal of discomfort. We’ll remove the infected portion to restore your dental health.
- Dental Crowns – For serious damage or a large cavity, we’ll restore your tooth with a dental crown.
- Dental Bridges – If we can’t put back a tooth that has been knocked out, we can replace it with a dental bridge.
- Oral Surgery – We’ll extract a tooth only if it puts other healthy teeth at risk. After it’s been removed, we’ll discuss your replacement options.
