Dental Emergency Services We Offer

Our emergency dental services provide diagnosis and treatment as quickly as possible. Our services range from simple treatments such as fillings and extractions to more complex procedures such as root canals and crowns. In some cases, we may even be able to provide pain relief or antibiotics to help manage the pain. Regardless of what is causing you pain or discomfort, Dr. Walley and his team can provide the services you need to alleviate your problem.

Services we offer:

• Crowns—Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that is used to repair damaged, decayed, or misshapen teeth. A crown is designed to fit over the top of a tooth, and it is typically made from either porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two. Crowns can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as chips, cracks, decay, and discoloration. They can also be used to strengthen weak or damaged teeth and improve the overall appearance of your smile. In many cases, crowns are an excellent long-term solution for restoring dental health.
• Root Canals—Root canals are a type of dental procedure that involves removing damaged or infected tissue from the root of a tooth. Root canal treatments are often recommended for teeth that have been severely damaged by trauma, decay, or infection.
• Extractions—Extractions are one of the most common types of emergency dental services, and they can be used to remove broken teeth or teeth that have been damaged due to decay or injury. Extractions are usually performed under local anesthesia, and the procedure is usually quick and relatively painless.
• Fillings—Dr. Walley uses white fillings to repair and remedy certain dental emergencies. When a tooth has been damaged by decay, a filling is used to restore the tooth. The filling restores the tooth to its normal shape and function. The process involves removing the decayed area and then filling the empty space with a material like an amalgam, composite, or porcelain. Fillings are often used in dental emergencies because they can be used to repair broken or cracked teeth.
• Bone Grafting— A dental bone graft is a procedure that helps replace missing bone in your jaw with healthy bone from another part of your body. It can help improve the appearance and function of your teeth, as well as reduce pain caused by an uneven bite or other dental issues like tooth decay or tooth loss.
• Dental implant—Many emergency dental patients need one or more dental implants to replace missing teeth. A dental implant is a surgical procedure in which an artificial tooth is placed into the mouth to replace one that has been lost. Dr. Walley provides emergency implants when someone breaks or loses a tooth unexpectedly that cannot be restored. Emergency same-day implants are a quick way to restore a smile and save the embarrassment many feel when they lose a tooth.
• Jaw Pain and/or Swelling—Your gums are an important part of dental health, and when they start hurting or swelling, it means something is wrong. It could be a sign of infection, and it could spread to other parts of your mouth. It is essential to diagnose the cause of your jaw pain as soon as possible to prevent further injury and pain. Dr. Walley can assess your jaw pain and diagnose your condition, as well as treat it.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Dr. Walley offers routine maintenance appointments. To avoid experiencing a dental emergency, we recommend our emergency patients make an appointment with their regular dentist, if they have one, for routine appointments. These visits include x-rays and cleaning that will catch problems early or prevent them.

Additionally, practicing daily dental hygiene at home can minimize your risk for emergency dental services. Regular brushing and flossing will greatly improve your dental health when added to six-month routine maintenance appointments.
