Let Us Help Alleviate Your Discomfort and Restore Your Oral Health

Our goal is to get you back on the road to oral health as quickly as possible. As a trusted emergency dentist, you can count on our office for prompt, skilled, and reliable care.

Treatment for dental problems such as a toothache or fractured tooth varies depending on the extent of the damage. Care may involve placing a new dental filling, dental bonding, or a larger restoration such as a crown to rebuild the tooth's form and function. If the damage has reached the tooth's nerve and vital inner tissues, you may need root canal treatment to save your natural tooth. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure with a greater than 95% success rate.

Although we provide leading-edge care and do all we can to help save your tooth, sometimes a dental extraction is required. If you lose a tooth, there are several excellent replacement options available, including dental implants, conventional fixed bridges, and partial or complete dentures. Today, dental implants represent the most advanced method for replacing a lost tooth and reestablishing a complete, beautiful smile.

Common questions

What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?+

Call our office right away. We provide guidance for dental emergencies and will get you in as soon as possible. If you're experiencing severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?+

Yes, if you act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently without scrubbing, try to place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call us immediately—the first 30 minutes are critical for successfully re-implanting a tooth.

Will I need a root canal for my toothache?+

Not necessarily. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your toothache. It could be a cavity that needs a filling, an infection requiring antibiotics, or damage to the nerve that needs root canal treatment. We'll examine you and explain your options.
