Services We Provide

The causes of dental emergencies can vary significantly. You may be experiencing minor discomfort, or you’ve noticed bumps, discoloration, or changes in your oral health. Whatever the concern may be, Dr. Lavi and his staff can provide the treatment you need to restore and even improve your current dental health. Our emergency services include:

• Root canal therapy. This procedure can help restore a tooth at the risk of permanent damage. This procedure re-establishes the connection between root and tooth. Though often misunderstood, the procedure is quite painless and involves an easy, quick recovery.
• Gum pain relief. Discomfort along your gums should be taken seriously. Your gums play a vital role in your overall dental health. Pain that involves your gums could signify a larger concern within the deeper layers of tissue.
• Extractions. Dr. Lavi will always do what is best for your oral health. While we try to preserve your natural smile as much as possible, there are instances where a full extraction can be the best option. This is often due to a high risk of infection, or if a tooth is too damaged or decayed for restoration procedures. This procedure often provides the patient with immediate pain relief.
• Avulsed tooth. This is more commonly referred to as a tooth being knocked out. This can be caused by a hard blow to the face, jaw, or mouth. It is more common in high contact sports, but it can also happen from a bad fall. It is important to contact our office immediately if you find yourself in this situation. We must examine the empty socket for any further trauma. In some instances, we can restore the natural tooth. Other damage includes chips, breaks, or cracks that should all be examined to determine the cause and to prevent further damage from occurring.
• Toothache assessment. Toothaches can often start as a small sensitivity to temperature changes such as when eating or drinking. If left untreated, toothaches often grow in severity. This is because a toothache is often a sign of a larger concern that gets worse over time. It is important to have even the smallest toothache examined to avoid more complex issues in the future.
• Jaw infection. Oral infections can leave you feeling sick to your stomach and in serious pain. Even if you don’t notice any obvious issues with your teeth or gums, an infection could be spreading beneath the surface. An infection that is affecting your jaw bone or surrounding tissue can often cause your jaw to swell and become tender to the touch. Dr. Lavi can provide the medication and emergency services you need to eliminate the infection and locate the cause of the problem.
• Filling or crown replacement. If you lose a filling or crown, contact us immediately. These dental caps are vital in preventing further damage or decay to teeth that have already required a dentist’s attention. The sooner we can replace the item decreases your risk of further injury.

Prevent Dental Decay

Decay is a large cause of many dental emergencies. If you want to prevent the need for emergency dental care, taking preemptive care of your teeth can make a significant difference. You’ll want to brush and floss on a routine basis. You should also schedule regular cleaning appointments with our office. This allows us to keep records of your dental health, spotting any minor concerns before they can get worse.
