Emergency Dental Care
Schedule an appointmentAt Masters Dentistry, we make every effort to see emergency patients as quickly as possible. Emergency care is provided for both adults and children, with a focus on comfort, safety, and clear communication. Care is focused on relieving discomfort, identifying the source of the problem, and clearly explaining next steps. We manage a wide range of urgent concerns, including tooth pain, infection, broken teeth, and dental injuries. Treatment may include extractions, root canal therapy, or other procedures to relieve pain and stabilize the situation. We continue to follow your care after the visit and remain available if questions or concerns come up.
When tooth pain or infection develops, care is focused on relieving discomfort quickly while identifying and addressing the underlying cause. Your condition is evaluated carefully so the most appropriate treatment can be recommended, with a focus on relieving pain and stabilizing the tooth as efficiently as possible.
A broken or chipped tooth can happen suddenly and feel overwhelming. Care is focused on protecting the tooth, restoring its structure, and preventing further damage, while helping you feel comfortable as quickly as possible.
Depending on the extent of the damage, treatment may include cosmetic bonding or a crown. These approaches are designed to restore the tooth in a way that looks natural and blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
When a tooth cannot be saved, extractions are performed with careful attention to your comfort and safety. The process is explained clearly so you know what to expect throughout the procedure.
After the extraction, next steps for healing and tooth replacement are discussed so you feel prepared moving forward. Options may include a dental bridge or dental implants, depending on your needs and long-term goals.
A knocked-out (avulsed) or displaced tooth can feel alarming and requires prompt attention. If possible, the tooth should be gently placed back into the socket right away or stored in milk until you are able to be seen.
Time is critical in these situations. We make every effort to see you as quickly as possible, evaluate the tooth, and take immediate steps to stabilize and protect it.
We are here to guide you on what to do next and help you feel supported throughout the process.
A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth exposed and lead to sensitivity or discomfort. Prompt care is important to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
We evaluate why the restoration came off, including factors such as decay or bite forces, to help prevent the issue from recurring. Treatment is approached conservatively to preserve your natural tooth.
If the tooth requires additional support, options such as a new dental crown, dental bridge, or dental implant may be recommended.
Dental emergencies can happen to children, whether from injury, tooth pain, or infection. Care is provided in a calm, supportive environment with a focus on comfort and safety.
We take the time to evaluate the situation carefully, explain what is happening in a way that is clear for both the child and parent, and provide treatment that is appropriate for your child’s needs. Nitrous oxide may be used when appropriate to help your child feel more relaxed during treatment.
Our goal is to help your child feel at ease while addressing the issue promptly and safely.
