Emergency Dental Care for New Patients

You don’t need to be an established patient to receive emergency care here. We treat new patients with urgent dental needs the same day they contact us. Severe tooth pain, dental infections, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns—these situations require immediate attention, and we’re here to provide it.

Our practice serves patients throughout Raleigh and North Raleigh. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency and don’t have a regular dentist, call us. We’ll take care of the immediate problem first, then discuss any follow-up care you might need.

When you call with a dental emergency, we’ll ask a few quick questions to understand the situation and schedule you for a same-day appointment. Once you’re here, we’ll focus on relieving your pain first, then perform a diagnostic exam to determine the underlying cause. In most cases, we can provide definitive treatment the same day—whether that’s a filling, a crown, an extraction, or emergency root canal therapy.

Same-Day Care for Existing Patients

If you’re already a patient here and experiencing a dental emergency, call us immediately. We prioritize urgent cases and will fit you into the schedule as quickly as possible. Whether it’s sudden pain, a broken restoration, or trauma to a tooth, we’ll see you the same day and resolve the problem.

You know our team, and we know your dental history. That familiarity allows us to move quickly and make treatment decisions with confidence.

Emergency Treatments We Provide

Treatment for Tooth Pain and Dental Infections

Severe tooth pain and dental infections require immediate care. Pain that keeps you awake, throbbing that won’t respond to over-the-counter medication, or swelling in your gums or face—these are signs of infection or nerve involvement that won’t resolve on their own.

Delaying treatment allows the infection to spread and makes the problem more difficult to treat. We provide urgent dental pain treatment through emergency root canal therapy, drainage of abscesses, antibiotics when indicated, and extractions when the tooth can’t be saved. Our goal is to eliminate the infection, relieve your pain, and prevent complications.

Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair

A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth should be treated the same day to prevent further damage and avoid exposing the inner layers of the tooth to bacteria. Depending on the severity, we can repair a broken tooth with bonding, smooth sharp edges, place a temporary restoration, or prepare and seat a permanent crown.

Even if a broken tooth doesn’t hurt, the structural compromise makes it vulnerable to additional fracture or decay. Quick treatment protects the tooth and prevents a more complicated problem down the road.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a tooth can’t be saved. Severe decay, a fractured root below the gum line, or an infection that can’t be resolved with root canal therapy may require same-day tooth extraction. We provide emergency extractions when necessary, with sedation options available to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

After an extraction, we’ll discuss replacement options—dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures—so you understand your choices for restoring the gap. But the priority is resolving the immediate problem and getting you out of pain.

Lost Filling or Crown Replacement

A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth structure unprotected and vulnerable to further damage, sensitivity, and decay. If you’ve lost a filling or crown, call us for same-day repair. Depending on the situation, we may place a temporary restoration immediately or prepare a same-day permanent crown using our in-house CEREC technology.

Don’t wait on a lost crown or filling. The exposed tooth can deteriorate quickly, and what starts as a simple repair can become a more extensive and expensive problem if left untreated.

Sedation Dentistry Options for Emergency Visits

Emergency dental procedures can be stressful, especially if you’re already in pain or dealing with dental anxiety. We offer sedation options to help you feel calm and comfortable during treatment.

Nitrous oxide provides mild sedation that helps you relax while remaining fully conscious and responsive. Effects wear off quickly after the procedure.

Oral sedation involves medication taken before your appointment to create deeper relaxation. You’ll remain conscious but may not remember much of the procedure afterward.

IV sedation is available for more complex emergency procedures or patients with significant anxiety. It provides moderate to deep sedation administered and monitored by experienced professionals.

Sedation availability depends on the procedure and your medical history. We’ll discuss your options when you call.

Experienced Emergency Dental Team

Our doctors have extensive experience treating urgent dental cases. We’ve equipped our practice with the diagnostic technology needed to assess emergencies quickly—digital X-rays, Cone Beam CT imaging for complex cases, and intraoral cameras to show you exactly what’s happening.

Same-day availability is standard here, not something we squeeze in when convenient. Emergency situations require prompt attention, and we’ve structured our practice to accommodate urgent cases without making patients wait days for relief. Whether it’s a broken tooth, severe pain, or a dental infection, you’ll find experienced clinicians who know how to resolve the problem efficiently.

Common Signs You Need Emergency Dental Care

  • Persistent bleeding that won’t stop
  • A loose adult tooth
  • Lost filling or crown
  • Signs of infection like fever, pus, or facial swelling
  • Trauma to your mouth or jaw

What To Do Before Your Emergency Visit

While you’re waiting for your appointment:

For severe pain: Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to reduce swelling.

For a broken tooth: Save any pieces if possible. Rinse your mouth with warm water. Avoid chewing on the damaged tooth.

For a knocked-out tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with water if dirty, but don’t scrub. Try to place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Time matters—call immediately.

For a lost crown: Keep the crown if you have it. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth.

For bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. If bleeding doesn’t stop after 10-15 minutes, call us or seek medical attention.

These are temporary measures. The priority is getting you into the office for proper treatment.
