But remember, a dental emergency is not always as obvious as a missing tooth. Maybe you’re experiencing severe, unbearable tooth pain, perhaps from an abscessed tooth or other damage. Regardless of the cause, don’t delay. Call our office immediately, and we’ll fit you into the schedule as soon as possible.

The most common emergency dental procedure we offer is treating cracked, knocked out, or broken teeth. Whether you heard a sickening snap as you were chewing on a piece of ice or fell teeth-first into the pavement, we can provide services to alleviate pain and fix your damaged smile. Emergency dental care is especially recommended if a large chunk of your tooth is missing, if there is clear nerve damage to the tooth, or if it’s been dislodged completely.
