Severe Toothaches

A sudden, intense toothache can be caused by decay, an abscess, or trauma. Our dentists use digital X-rays and intra-oral cameras to pinpoint the cause of your pain. Depending on the diagnosis, we may recommend a filling, root canal, or extraction to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications.

Cracked or Fractured Teeth

A cracked tooth can result from biting down on hard foods, sports injuries, or accidents. If you have a cracked tooth, visit our emergency dental office immediately to prevent infection or further damage. We may repair the tooth with a dental crown, a veneer, or dental bonding, depending on the severity. For complex fractures, CEREC® same-day crowns provide a durable, natural-looking solution in a single visit.

Knocked-Out Teeth

A knocked-out tooth is a time-sensitive emergency. If possible, place the tooth back in its socket or store it in milk or saliva and head to our office immediately. Our Houston dentist will assess the tooth and attempt to reimplant it, using advanced techniques to stabilize it. Quick action within the first hour significantly increases the chances of saving the tooth.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

A lost filling or crown can expose sensitive tooth structures, causing pain and vulnerability to infection. We’ll replace the restoration using high-quality materials and custom lab fabrication to ensure a seamless fit. Same-day CEREC® crowns eliminate the need for multiple visits, getting you back to normal faster.

Dental Abscesses

A dental abscess is a painful infection that can spread to other parts of the body if untreated. Symptoms include swelling, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth. Our emergency dentist will drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics if needed, and perform a root canal or extraction to eliminate the infection.
