How we treat urgent problems

- Crowns and bridgesA crown protects and restores a severely damaged or broken tooth. If a tooth is lost, a bridge can fill the gap.
- Root canal treatmentFor severe tooth pain, a root canal removes infected tissue inside the tooth, relieving pain and saving the tooth.
- Tooth removalIf a tooth is too damaged to save, a gentle extraction relieves pain and prevents further problems.

The short answer
Emergency dentistry is prompt care for urgent dental problems, including severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a broken crown, a lost filling and sudden gum swelling or bleeding. The dentist first assesses your condition, then treats the cause with a tooth-colored filling, a crown or bridge, a root canal, an extraction or gum disease treatment. Quick care relieves pain, reduces the risk of spreading infection and saves natural teeth when possible.
Emergency dentistry FAQ
- Can you help with my dental emergency?
- Yes, emergency dental care is available, and same-day appointments are often possible. Over many years of practice, Dr. Kiumars Karbasi treats dental emergencies as part of his general care. Our team delivers compassionate, gentle care during a dental crisis. Call the office as early as you can and we will do our best to see you promptly.
- What can you do for my dental emergency?
- When you come in for a dental emergency, we first assess your condition to determine the next steps. Depending on your situation, we may recommend a tooth-colored filling to repair decay or a lost filling, or a dental crown to strengthen a damaged tooth. An infected tooth may need a root canal, and a tooth that cannot be saved may need to be extracted. We will relieve your pain and address the underlying issue as quickly as possible.
- What if I have a dental emergency without insurance?
- We will still treat your dental emergency if you do not have dental insurance. You deserve the same level of care as someone who does. We provide several payment options to take care of the cost, including third-party financing. New patients without insurance can also ask about our emergency exam and X-ray special.
- What counts as a dental emergency?
- Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a broken crown or tooth, and a lost filling are all reasons to call us right away. Sudden gum swelling or bleeding should also be checked promptly, because it can be a sign of advanced gum disease. If you are not sure whether your problem is urgent, call the office and describe what happened. We will tell you what to do next and when we can see you.
- Why should I not wait to treat a dental problem?
- Treating a dental problem early prevents a small issue from becoming a bigger one. Quick care can save a natural tooth that might otherwise be lost and reduces the risk of an infection spreading. It also gets you back to eating and speaking comfortably sooner. A broken tooth, a lost restoration or sudden pain is easier to solve early.
