EMERGENCY DENTAL SERVICES
Our emergency dental clinic offers fast treatment for a range of dental emergencies.
Emergency Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved, our emergency dentists can provide an emergency dental extraction. After a dental extraction, we recommend replacing the damaged tooth with a dental implant, crown or bridge.
A dentist emergency tooth extraction may be recommended if a tooth is badly damaged, affected by severe periodontal diseases, infected, or remains painful after a restorative treatment such as root canal treatment, filling, or crown. However, this is usually the last option. When possible, we recommend a root canal treatment to save the natural tooth, which is better for your overall oral health.

Emergency Wisdom Tooth Removal
A wisdom tooth removal becomes an emergency when it is causing you unbearable pain. In cases of impacted wisdom teeth, a wisdom tooth with cavities or exposed nerves, it is important to get quick and attentive care. Read more about wisdom tooth removal.
Emergency Filling Replacement
When a filling is loose or falls out, it is important to have it replaced. While this is a dental emergency that doesn’t need as quick attention as a broken tooth, abscess or swelling, it should be kept clean and replaced with an emergency dentist filling within 3 days.
