Bring Back Your Smile With Restorative Treatment

Your smile is in skilled hands here if you come in with a dental emergency. We have helped many patients with their dental disasters, so you can feel confident in the level of care you'll receive from us. Along with our expertise, our office uses modern technology like digital and panoramic X-rays and digital scanners for your treatment.

Plus, you can choose your sedation option if you're nervous and need to take the edge off your anxiety. We offer inhaled sedation with laughing gas, oral conscious sedation in pill form, and IV sedation to put you in a sleeplike state. You can also relax with a pillow, blanket, and headphones if you want.

Your dentist may use some of these services to treat your dental emergency:

  • Tooth Fillings - We offer both amalgam (silver) fillings and tooth-colored composite fillings to repair dental damage.
  • Same-Day Crowns - Our CEREC system will make a new crown for your tooth repair while you wait. It's so convenient not to have to wear a temporary and return for a second visit.
  • Root Canal Treatment - Your dentist can stop your toothache and save your tooth from extraction with a root canal.
  • Tooth Removal - Your tooth may need removal to protect the health of your other teeth and gums.

Take Necessary Steps at Home Before You Arrive

We always aim to see patients the same day whenever possible to treat urgent dental care situations. However, there are steps you can take at home to find relief from pain or to handle the emergency situation before you arrive.

  • For tooth pain, swish your mouth with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the affected area, or take a store-bought pain reliever like Tylenol or aspirin.
  • For a broken tooth, collect the pieces you can find and place them in a container of milk or saliva.
  • If you've lost a tooth, you must see us right away. Keep it moist with milk or saliva. If you get here soon enough, we may be able to put your tooth back in its socket.

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

2nd review— every nice lady Wonderful people. Rhonda was great at answering all my questions.

K. I. (Verified Patient)

Had an over all great experience. I believed I had an abscess by my wisdom teeth and it was fairly painful. Skyview Dental got me in the next day. I got both wisdom teeth removed and it was quick and extremely painless.

Commonly Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies

What can you do for my dental emergency?

When you come in for a dental emergency, we'll first assess your condition to determine the next steps. Depending on your situation, we will recommend particular services to restore your smile. They may include a tooth-colored filling to repair dental decay, a same-day dental crown to strengthen a damaged tooth, a root canal to repair an infected tooth, or a tooth extraction if we're not able to save your tooth.

What are some common dental emergencies?

There are few emergencies your dentist hasn't seen in his years of practice. Some are certainly more common than others. Emergencies that we see often include toothaches caused by a cavity or an infection, cracked teeth, broken teeth, and broken dental restorations. In most cases, we're able to resolve all these situations with restorative dentistry.

Can I prevent dental emergencies?

No one can anticipate every possible dental emergency, but you can take steps to reduce your odds of having such a problem. Following ADA recommendations - brushing and flossing daily and getting regular dental cleanings - reduces your risk of tooth infections and gum disease. Plus, wearing athletic mouthguards during sports can protect your teeth from injuries.
