If any of this sounds like today, call us
Dental emergencies do not get better on their own. Here is what to do while you are on your way to us.
Broken or chipped tooth
Sharp edges or sensitivity after an accident. CEREC crowns are milled here, so most are rebuilt the same day.
Save any fragments · call usKnocked-out tooth
A tooth that has been fully knocked out can often be saved within the hour.
Keep it in milk · call immediatelySwelling or abscess
Facial swelling, a bad taste, or a bump on the gum means infection. A 3D CBCT scan shows us exactly where it is.
Call today · same-day priorityLost crown or filling
An exposed tooth is vulnerable and fractures easily. We can re-seat or replace it quickly.
Keep the crown · call usBleeding gums or soft-tissue injury

Not at all. Most emergency visits are new patients. You will be seen by Dr. Gent, and there is no obligation to move your ongoing care here.
For pain or swelling, rinse with warm salt water and hold a cold compress against the outside of the cheek. For a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saline, and come straight in. For a lost crown, bring it with you.
Tell us when you book. Nitrous oxide and IV sedation are both available, with IV sedation administered by a certified nurse anesthetist.
