  • Knocked-out or loose teeth

  • Dental abscesses or facial swelling

Emergency Dental Treatments We Provide

Our Raleigh emergency dentist offers a full range of emergency dental treatments designed to relieve pain and restore oral health quickly.

  • Root Canal Therapy – Severe tooth pain may be caused by an infection inside the tooth. Root canal therapy can remove infection, relieve discomfort, and help save your natural tooth.

  • Tooth Extractions – When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health.

  • Dental Fillings and Bonding – Lost fillings, cavities, chipped teeth, and small fractures can often be repaired with tooth-colored fillings or dental bonding.

  • Dental Crown Repair and Replacement – Broken or lost dental crowns can leave teeth vulnerable. We provide crown repair and replacement to restore strength and function.

  • Treatment for Dental Abscesses – Dental abscesses can become serious quickly if left untreated. Prompt care can reduce infection, swelling, and discomfort.

  • Repair for Broken or Chipped Teeth – Depending on the damage, broken teeth may be treated with bonding, veneers, or dental crowns.

  • Reimplantation of Knocked-Out Teeth – Fast treatment improves the chances of saving a knocked-out permanent tooth. Contact our office immediately for emergency instructions.
