A dental emergency can be scary and stressful, but knowing your dentist’s office can provide prompt care can offer important reassurance. Our patients can count on having access to care when an emergency arises, even if it occurs outside typical office hours. If you do suffer a problem during the weekend, or in the evening, an automated system can provide instructions on securing urgent care. So what can your dentist actually do for you in an emergency? The type of care you receive will be based on your needs. After addressing the immediate problem, and helping manage discomfort, your dentist can work to provide you with restorative dental care, so that you can fully recover.
Providing Lasting Care For Your Smile After An Emergency
Beyond immediate care, your dentist will provide help in restoring any damage suffered in an emergency. If you have a tooth that is badly chipped or cracked, it can be secured with a dental crown, which will provide you with lasting protection. In addition to keeping the tooth safe from infections, a crown will offer the kind of support that allows you to continue using that tooth to comfortably bite and chew food. If you have a tooth that is lost in an accident, a prosthetic supported with a dental implant will allow you to permanently address that loss.
Will Emergency Dental Work Affect My Appearance?
Thanks to the modern materials used to construct dental restorations, your emergency dental work can protect the quality of your smile. A porcelain or zirconia crown will be able to blend in with your surrounding natural teeth. Implant-supported restorations can offer valuable oral health benefits, but they are also popular because their presence can effectively restore your appearance.
