We consider a dental emergency to be any injury or damage to your teeth or gums, or loose or lost restorations like crowns or fillings. Lack of treatment could lead to an increased risk of serious complications, which is why your Allen, TX, dentist offers emergency dentistry. In today’s blog, we’re looking at common emergency situations and giving tips for easing discomfort.
A New Smile With All-On-4®
At one time, a full set of dentures secured with dental implants meant anywhere between six and eight implant posts per arch, which limited candidacy for many people.

But what if you have sustained total tooth loss? You may need a full denture, and your Allen, TX, dentist has both removable and implant-secured options available!
Creating A Custom Partial Denture
When you have several lost teeth, and gaps spread out across your smile, a bridge may not be enough to replace your lost teeth, and a full denture may not be needed. Fortunately, there is a middle ground with a partial denture. In today’s blog, your Allen, TX, dentist will explain how we create a partial denture, and the benefits of addressing your tooth loss!
Does Your Smile Need A Bridge?
When you lose a single tooth, or up to three in a row, then you could have a serious problem. Even minor tooth loss may lead to major complications for your smile, and for your overall quality of life. To help replace lost teeth and improve your quality of life, your Allen, TX, dentist may suggest treatment with a custom-made dental bridge.
When Does A Smile Need A Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
If you have a single issue with your smile, we may recommend a single solution, such as a filling or maybe a crown. But what if you have multiple oral health issues with your smile, issues that require more than one solution? In these scenarios, your Allen, TX, may recommend a full mouth reconstruction (FMR) to help correct them.
Avoid An Extraction With Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, then an extraction is required to protect smiles from major complications. However, sometimes your Allen, TX, dentists can prevent the extraction with a root canal treatment, which treats infected or abscessed teeth and ensures a lifelike appearance afterward. In today’s blog, we learn when to seek treatment, and what to expect from a root canal.
Repairing Your Smile With Modern Dental Crowns
