At our urgent dental appointments, we focus on assessing symptoms and protecting oral function before more extensive treatment is considered. We review pain, swelling, injury, cracked or chipped teeth, and the condition of fillings, crowns, or bridges. Diagnostic imaging may be used when an infection, abscess, or dental trauma needs further evaluation. Depending on the results, we provide emergency oral care such as an emergency filling, broken tooth repair, chipped tooth treatment, emergency root canal treatment, or emergency tooth extraction. We explain the recommended care, recovery guidance, and any follow-up restorative work. Availability for 24-hour dentist or after-hours dentist services varies by clinical urgency and scheduling.
