You Should Contact Us For Emergency Care
A broken tooth or one that has come out of its socket is a serious problem requiring immediate attention. Ignoring the problem may lead to serious consequences. Fortunately, you may call us immediately for emergency care. If nobody picks up, we urge you to leave a voicemail and a member of our staff will call you back to schedule an appointment to address your concern. If possible, bring the pieces of your tooth with you in sealed container. For a dislodged tooth, bring it with you in a sealed container filled with milk or salt water.
Possible Treatment Options
Wondering what to expect? First, recognize that your comfort is of the utmost importance to us. We will do our best to ensure you feel relaxed and at ease regardless of the particular treatments you need. A broken or dislodged tooth may result in a need for the removal of tooth decay, a dental crown, or a tooth extraction. To replace a tooth that was lost or was removed as a result of excessive damage, we may offer a dental implant or a dental bridge.
