SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A ROOT CANAL

What We Treat

Severe or Sudden Tooth Pain

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

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

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

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

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 Six Forks Area Patients

Many of the emergencies we hear about from patients along Six Forks Road, 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.
