Our Emergency Dentistry Services
Emergency Tooth Extractions
In cases of severe trauma or decay, we perform emergency tooth extractions to alleviate pain and stop the infection from spreading. We place anesthesia, make an incision, and remove the tooth from its socket, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth is infected or highly damaged, we remove the infected pulp, clean, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
Same-Day Crowns
Following an emergency, same-day crowns provide immediate protection for damaged teeth. Thanks to our technology, we make them on-site and place them in a single appointment, restoring the tooth's strength and appearance.
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
Brush and floss twice a day
Wear mouthguards while playing sports to protect your teeth from injury.
Don't chew on hard objects like ice or hard candy.
Schedule regular dental cleanings and oral exams to detect and prevent dental issues early.
