02 / ROUTINE AND EMERGENCY EXAMS

You know what... Emergencies happen!

An emergency dental exam focuses on the problem area and may also include digital x-rays of the specific area of the mouth. The goal of an emergency dental exam is to address an acute issue, and to diagnose and recommend treatment to alleviate pain, swelling, or possible infection. Depending on the type of issue, we may be able to provide treatment on the same day, or may prescribe antibiotics to address an infection and to complete the treatment once the infection has cleared.

Emergencies include:

Toothache/Sensitivity
Broken/chipped tooth
Loss of a dental crown/bridge/veneer
Accidents to teeth
Loss of a dental filling
Sports injuries to teeth or gums
Swelling or inflammation in and around the mouth
Broken or ill-fitting partial or complete dentures
Lost or broken Invisalign attachments or trays
