Toothache, broken tooth or swelling? Call us and we will do our best to see you today. Our $49 emergency exam includes the exam and X-rays you need, and Dr. Vishala Patel will get you out of pain first, then explain your options and costs before any treatment.
Most dental emergencies get worse, not better, with time. A cracked tooth can split, and an infection can spread to your jaw and face. Being seen quickly often means a simpler, less expensive fix and less time in pain.
Call us first, even if you are not sure it is an emergency. Our team will ask a few questions, tell you what to do right now and get you on the schedule as soon as possible.
Call us right away if you have:
Once you are out of pain, Dr. Patel can usually complete the treatment you need right here, without sending you to another office.
We find the cause, relieve the pain and treat infection, often with a root canal that saves the tooth.
Root canal treatment ↗Bonding, fillings or a crown restore a damaged tooth so it looks natural and works normally again.
Dental crownsA knocked-out tooth can sometimes be saved if you are seen within about an hour. Call immediately.
We clean, protect and replace lost fillings and crowns to stop sensitivity and further damage.
Dental fillings ↗When a tooth cannot be saved, we remove it gently and talk through replacement options like implants.
Tooth extraction ↗Cuts, swelling and abscesses in the gums, lips or cheeks are cleaned, treated and checked for infection.
Severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, a broken jaw or heavy bleeding should be treated at the nearest emergency room first.
When you are in pain, you want someone calm and skilled. Dr. Patel focuses on getting you comfortable first, then explains exactly what happened and what your options are.
As a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and an AAID-trained implant dentist, she can handle most emergencies in our office, from root canals and crowns to extractions and tooth replacement, so you are not bounced between offices.
