Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies are stressful and rarely happen at a convenient time, but there’s no need to panic when you have a trusted dental team on your side.

At Comfortable Dentistry, our dentists keep time open in our schedule specifically for emergency patients. Whenever possible, we provide same-day treatment. If dental visits make you anxious or fearful, we also offer sedation dentistry to help you feel at ease.

Don’t hesitate to contact us at (305) 444-7345 if you or a loved one experiences a dental emergency in Coral Gables, FL.

Dental Emergencies We Handle

At Comfortable Dentistry, our dentists combine their skills and expertise to provide comprehensive care, including emergency treatment. Even if you don’t see your problem listed below, please call us first. We can offer guidance and assess your condition over the phone. Here are some of the dental emergencies we handle:

  • Broken or lost restorations — If you lose a crown or filling, it needs prompt repair to protect your tooth and smile, even if it isn’t causing discomfort.
  • Knocked-out teeth — Time is critical. The sooner we treat a knocked-out tooth, the better the chance of saving it.
  • Chipped or broken teeth — A chipped or broken tooth needs repair to prevent further damage and discomfort.
  • Toothaches or dental pain — A persistent toothache often signals an infection, which won’t resolve on its own.

Comfortable, Stress-Free Dental Care

At Comfortable Dentistry, we handle a wide range of dental services. Depending on your needs, here are some of the treatment procedures that our dentists may recommend for dental emergencies:

  • Tooth-colored fillings — Ideal for repairing small areas of tooth decay.
  • Dental bonding — Uses composite resin material to repair minor concerns, like chipped or broken teeth.
  • Porcelain crowns — A crown restores and covers a fractured, damaged, or decayed tooth down to the gumline.
  • Root canal treatment — A root canal eliminates infected tissue from inside your tooth and also preserves its natural structure.
  • Tooth extraction — The final option if the tooth is unsalvageable

If you lose a tooth due to an emergency, our dentists can also talk with you about your tooth replacement options. We offer comprehensive implant dentistry at Comfortable Dentistry, so you can work with the team you trust from start to finish.
