Dental Emergencies We Handle

Dr. Steven Brazis provides emergency dental treatment for many dental issues, such as:

• Emergency tooth repair – Injury or physical trauma from car collisions, sports, falls, and other accidents is a common source of damage to teeth. While loose, chipped, cracked, broken teeth, or missing teeth cause pain and negatively impact your smile, they can also affect your ability to chew, eat, and speak. In some cases, a damaged tooth can involve more serious issues such as damaged or infected nerves, blood vessels, or other tissues. Our team performs an extensive evaluation to determine the nature and extent of your tooth damage and creates an individualized treatment plan to restore functionality.
• Filling repair or replacement – If you are experiencing sensitivity or pain in a tooth with a filling, you need to visit a dentist right away. Often the result of daily wear and tear, a cracked, leaking, or loose filling is unable to provide adequate protection for your tooth. Damaged fillings allow food particles and bacteria to be trapped underneath, weakening your tooth and causing decay that can quickly spread to nearby teeth. We can assess your filling and determine whether it must be repaired or replaced.
• Crown repair or replacement – When tooth decay has advanced to a point that a filling is no longer an option, a crown is crucial for protecting weakened teeth from further damage. Dental crowns last an average of five to fifteen years before they require repair or replacement. If your crown is older than fifteen years, your bite becomes uneven, the gums around the crowned tooth are receding, or you experience pain in or around the tooth, we can ascertain the extent of the damage and repair it to restore its integrity or replace it with a new crown.
• Jaw pain or swelling – A painful or swollen jaw can result from a variety of serious dental issues. Natural abnormalities in the jaw, traumatic injuries, tumors, dental infections, viral infections, and infections of the bone, skin, salivary glands, or jugular vein can all cause extreme jaw pain and swelling. If you have trouble opening your mouth, breathing, speaking, or swallowing, the swelling rapidly progresses, or you notice other systemic symptoms, this is a dental emergency that requires prompt attention.
• Root canal therapy – Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that removes the inflamed or infected pulp inside a tooth, then fills and seals the space, typically with a crown. This treatment allows you to alleviate pain and restore functionality without a tooth extraction. The following signs indicate you may need a root canal: severe pain, sensitivity to temperature, chipped or cracked teeth, bumps on your gums, and tender, swollen, or darkened gums. Contact us immediately if you are experiencing these symptoms.
• Tooth extraction – When a damaged or decayed tooth is causing you pain and root canal therapy is not sufficient for treatment, a tooth extraction may be necessary to remove the tooth and prevent any infection from spreading to surrounding teeth. A dentist may also recommend a tooth extraction for impaction, overcrowding, gum disease, or trauma from an accident. Our team can evaluate your issue and determine the right course of action to eliminate your pain and restore your oral health.

Dr. Brazis also offers preventative care, bridges, dentures, dental implants, periodontal treatment, occlusal guards, tooth whitening, and dental bonding.
