Home/Lombard, IL - Smile More Dental
That minor toothache on Friday could erupt into a serious abscess by Saturday. We can’t always predict a dental emergency, and it can be hard to find dentists open on weekends. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, time is of the essence. You will need a medical professional to treat your dental problem as soon as possible.
The weekend warriors at Smile More Dental Service are available Saturday or Sunday to provide you with prompt and professional dental care. We have offices in your area, and we can connect you with the nearest office that provides a wide range of dental services. Once you arrive, we will have someone ready to provide prompt care while attending to your oral pain.

A dental emergency can’t wait. If your once-minor toothache is becoming painful, you could be at risk of developing a root canal infection that could spread quickly. A weekend dentist can address your dental emergency so you can recover quickly and possibly be ready to return to work on Monday.
Prompt Sunday dentistry in Lombard, IL, can identify the cause of your toothache or jaw pain, treat the problem, and provide you with recovery instructions. The benefits of prompt action include improved oral health, the preservation of natural teeth (for treatments of cavities), cost-savings, and peace of mind knowing that the cause of your oral discomfort has been identified and properly treated. Many of our patients are able to reduce or eliminate the need for missing time away from work.
Dental problems generally do not resolve themselves. Whether you have an abscess, cavity, impacted tooth, or loose tooth, only prompt professional treatments can resolve those issues.
An infected tooth will further degrade over time. As bacteria dissolve the outer layer of enamel and, eventually, the dentin, the microbes will eventually reach the vulnerable inner layer of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissue. An infection will spread very quickly once it reaches this area, and the resulting pressure on the nerves at the center of the tooth can cause extreme pain. Your Saturday dentist can remove the pocket of infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal the tooth so the infection can not return. This step preserves your natural tooth.
Advanced gum disease requires deep cleaning and other steps to clean the pockets of infection and prevent further gum loss. Gum tissue recession is a leading cause of tooth loss. If your gums are bleeding, receding, or causing pain and discomfort, failing to address periodontitis can result in tooth loss and other serious dental problems.
If you require a tooth extraction but do not seek dental treatments, you risk developing a serious infection. A loose tooth can allow an infection to develop that can reach the jawbone and place the surrounding teeth in danger. Your dentist can gently remove the damaged or loose tooth so you can prepare to replace the tooth through the use of a crown, bridge, or dental implant.
No matter what is causing your oral pain, putting off treatment won’t make the pain go away. The professionals at Smile More Dental in Lombard, IL, are here to provide prompt weekend treatments so you can quickly recover and return to life and work.
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate treatment from a dentist. Teeth cleanings and fluoride treatments fall under general dentistry and are scheduled out six months at a time. By comparison, a dental emergency is a dental problem that has the potential to cause serious complications or even life-threatening infections if it isn’t treated immediately. Dental emergencies are also classified by dental conditions that cause extreme pain.
Examples of dental emergencies include:
Any dental emergency requires the prompt care and attention of a weekend dentist. While many dental clinics are closed on weekends, our office is open on Saturdays and Sundays. No appointment is needed, although having someone call ahead to describe the emergency can help our team prepare for your arrival. Once you arrive, our dentist will treat your dental emergency as a top priority.
Not every job affords time during the week for checkups and dental work. If your job requires your full attention during the week, a weekend dentist can help you handle lingering dental work without the need for missing work.
We stay open on the weekends to provide convenient service for our patients. Most dental offices are open five days or less a week, and those offices are usually booked throughout the day. If you have a weekend dental emergency, you do not have the luxury of scheduling an appointment. You’ll need prompt dental care at that very moment. Dental emergencies often cause great pain and discomfort. You’ll want to deal with those issues as soon as possible.
If you are looking for an emergency dentist open on Sunday, you came to the right place. Our office provides a wide range of dental treatments that can relieve your discomfort and restore your oral health.
Our office is equipped to treat any dental problem that is causing serious oral pain and discomfort. Don’t delay treating your dental emergency.
If you are in severe oral pain, the idea of booking an appointment can add stress to an already difficult situation. Many offices in the Lombard, IL, community will be closed on weekends, which can lead to frustration.
Prolonging your treatment is not an option. Our team is available 24 hours a day to connect you with a weekend dentist who will promptly address your emergency. Emergency Dental Service owns and manages a large number of dental offices that are open on the weekends. Either go through our website or give Emergency Dental Service a call.
If you are in extreme pain, it can be unsafe to drive yourself. This is why we recommend that you have someone drive you to and from your dental emergency. Since our office specializes in emergency care, you will spend less time waiting for service. There are generally fewer people waiting for dental services or emergency care on weekends.
Your dentist will ask about your symptoms. Provide any relevant information, such as when the discomfort or pain started, where you are feeling it, and what you think may have been the cause of the dental emergency. An examination will determine what the problem is. If the cause of the dental emergency is apparent, there may be no need for X-rays or digital imaging.
Your dentist takes steps to promptly manage your pain. This can be done through the use of local anesthesia that numbs the nerves near the injured tooth. In some cases, you could be given a form of sedation in addition to local anesthesia.
Depending on the underlying cause of your dental problem, your dentist will either treat the problem or take steps to stabilize you in preparation for a follow-up treatment. In many cases, your dental emergency can be addressed in one visit, but complex dental problems can require more time than the dentist has available once you arrive.
A weekend dental emergency can often be treated during your trip to our dental office. The treatment may include a tooth extraction, root canal treatment, or cavity treatment. The goal of any emergency treatment is to restore oral health, alleviate oral pain, and prevent further damage to your teeth and gums.
Your weekend dentist will not be able to restore your missing tooth with a prosthetic. This work is often performed by a specialized prosthodontist who will take time to properly fit you with a crown, bridge, denture, or implant-supported restoration. If your emergency dentist extracts your tooth, you will return home to recover without a tooth replacement. Your dentist will provide information on how you can restore your missing tooth.
Any cosmetic work that you are seeking will likely require a follow-up appointment. Minor fixes using dental bonding can be performed at our office, but any complex or time-consuming procedures may need to be scheduled for a later date.
At most dental practices across the country, the dentists are also the business owners. They have to be there when the office is open, and they hire hygienists and administrators to manage the office. Because those dentists set their own hours, they schedule their time as they see fit. Often, there are not enough patients or staff available to justify weekend hours.
For some parts of the country, the lack of dentists available on weekends can leave emergency room visits as the only option for addressing dental emergencies. Our offices work differently. We schedule our dentists and team members to better serve our clients’ needs. We understand that there is a unique need for weekend dental emergency services.
Due to the unique services that weekend dental offices offer, the fees associated with those services may be higher than your normal Monday through Friday dentist. There are extra costs for specialized treatments, and emergency dental care often requires urgent, specialized care. Don’t let concerns about costs keep you from urgent medical care. The doctors in our network will work with you to explore payment options. We routinely provide treatment to patients who do not have dental insurance.
Some procedures and treatments can be scheduled for days, weeks, or even months out. But a dental emergency requires urgent treatment. Putting off a root canal or tooth extraction can lead to complications that can become life-threatening.
When extreme pain strikes, let the team at Smile More Dental in Lombard, IL, provide prompt and quality dental care that restores your smile and oral health. We utilize the latest in dental technology and techniques.
