Dental Emergency Care: Rapid Relief When You Need It Most


Dental problems don't always happen during business hours, and they rarely follow a convenient schedule. Whether it's a sudden, throbbing toothache, a crown that falls out before a meeting, or a tooth knocked out at a sporting event, you need help fast.

At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide comprehensive Dental Emergency Care with a focus on speed, comfort, and saving your natural teeth.

We recognize that dental pain is unique and debilitating. That is why we reserve flexibility in our daily schedule to accommodate urgent cases. Our goal is to see you the same day you call, diagnose the issue instantly with advanced imaging, and get you out of pain immediately.

EXPERTISE

Why Trust Us in a Crisis?


When you are in pain, you need more than just a quick fix; you need a lasting solution provided by experts who can handle complex trauma.

  • Advanced Diagnostics: We don't guess. We use 3D CBCT scans to instantly visualize fractures, infections, or nerve damage that standard X-rays might miss. This ensures we treat the root cause of your pain, not just the symptom.

  • Comfort Under Pressure: Anxiety often spikes during an emergency. We offer Nitrous Oxide and IV Sedation to help you stay calm and relaxed, turning a stressful event into a manageable experience.

  • Complex Capabilities: As a multi-specialty office with an implantologist and periodontist, we can handle complex emergencies, like re-implanting a knocked-out tooth or performing an emergency extraction and bone graft, without referring you elsewhere.

PROCEDURE

Types of Urgent Care We Provide


Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here are common conditions we treat effectively on a same-day basis:

  • Abscess & Infection Management: If you have facial swelling or a "pimple" on your gums, you likely have a serious infection. We can drain the abscess and perform a root canal to save the tooth and stop the pain.

  • Trauma Repair: For chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth, we can often bond the tooth back together or place a temporary crown immediately to restore your smile’s appearance.

  • Restoration Replacement: If a filling falls out or a crown comes loose, your tooth is vulnerable. We can re-cement or replace the restoration to prevent sensitivity and further decay.

  • Severe Toothache Relief: Persistent, throbbing pain usually indicates nerve involvement. We prioritize these cases to provide immediate relief through medication or treatment.

TESTIMONIAL

Patient Success Story: The Broken Front Tooth


Actual Patient Scenario

The Challenge: "David," a 28-year-old, slipped by the pool and broke his front tooth in half on a Saturday morning. He was not in pain, but he was horrified by his appearance and embarrassed to leave the house. He was worried he would need a "fake-looking" patch.

The Solution: David called our office, and we brought him in immediately. Dr. Almanzar assessed the break and found the nerve was safe. He used high-strength dental bonding to sculpt a repair directly onto the tooth.

The Result: In less than an hour, David’s tooth looked whole again. The color match was perfect. He left smiling and relieved. He told us, "I thought my weekend was ruined. You guys fixed it so fast, I can't even tell where it broke."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions


Is a chipped tooth an emergency?

If the chip is large, painful, or sharp to the tongue, yes. Even a small, painless chip should be treated quickly because it weakens the tooth structure, making it vulnerable to a deeper crack that could cause you to lose the tooth later.

Can antibiotics cure a tooth infection?

No. Antibiotics can reduce the swelling and temporarily manage the bacteria, but they cannot cure the source of the infection inside the tooth. You will still need a root canal or extraction to physically remove the infection and prevent it from returning.

What if my crown falls off?

Keep the crown! Clean it gently and bring it with you. In many cases, if the tooth underneath is healthy, we can simply re-cement the crown. Do not try to glue it back on with superglue, as this is toxic and can damage the tooth.

Do you treat children for emergencies?

Yes. We are a family practice and can handle dental trauma for children, such as knocked-out baby teeth or sports injuries. We prioritize getting them out of pain and keeping them calm.

What if I don't have insurance?

We believe pain relief shouldn't depend on insurance. We offer a transparent emergency exam fee and flexible financing options like CareCredit so you can get the treatment you need now and pay over time.
