Fix Breaks & Other Urgent Problems With Restorative Care
Restorative dental care fixes many common emergencies, including broken teeth. No matter what has happened, call us right away. We’ll work you into our schedule as soon as we can, often the same day. Here are some of the restorative treatments we may use to resolve your emergency:
- Tooth Fillings – If you have a toothache due to a cavity, we can often fix it with a filling. We use non-metal fillings for a natural look and to avoid metal sensitivities.
- Dental Crowns – If your cavity is too big to be repaired with a filling, we may use a crown instead. A crown can also mend cracked or broken teeth. It’s important to fix cracks and breaks ASAP, or you risk your tooth becoming infected or in need of an extraction.
- Tooth Replacement – If you get to us soon enough, Dr. Roderick may be able to reimplant a knocked-out tooth. If not, he can prepare you for a tooth replacement using either a dental bridge or a dental implant restored with a crown.
- Extraction – It’s usually possible to repair even badly damaged teeth, but if necessary, Dr. Roderick may recommend removing the tooth. He may refer you to a specialist for more complicated extractions.
No matter which treatment you receive, we’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia. You can also receive one of our three kinds of sedation: laughing gas, an oral sedative, or a drug-free method called NuCalm.
