Emergency Dentist Serving North Hills, NC
Same-day emergency dental care from a Falls of Neuse Road practice a short drive from North Hills.
A dental emergency in North Hills doesn’t wait for a convenient time. Falls Lake Dental is located on Falls of Neuse Road, a straightforward drive from North Hills via Six Forks Road, making us a practical option for North Hills patients dealing with sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a lost crown. We make every effort to see urgent patients the same day they call.
What We Treat
Severe or Sudden Tooth Pain – Intense, persistent toothache, especially with swelling or sensitivity to pressure, often points to infection or abscess. This needs prompt evaluation, not a wait-and-see approach.
Knocked-Out Tooth – A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if you get to us within 30 to 60 minutes. Handle it only by the crown, keep it moist, and call us on your way in.
Cracked or Broken Tooth – A crack or break that causes sharp pain when biting needs prompt evaluation to prevent further fracture or loss of the tooth.
Lost or Broken Crown or Filling – A lost crown or filling exposes the tooth to bacteria and pressure. We'll assess it and re-cement or replace it quickly, often the same day with our same-day crown capability.
Dental Abscess – Swelling, fever, or a pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth signals infection that can spread if untreated. This is a true urgent situation.
Same-Day Crowns for North Hills Patients
Many of the emergencies we hear about from North Hills patients, a cracked tooth or a lost crown, can be resolved in a single visit thanks to our in-office 3D printing technology. Instead of a temporary crown and a second appointment weeks later, we can design, mill, and place a permanent same-day crown in one visit.
