Immediate Implants

Losing a tooth leaves you with a gap in your smile; fill that gap right away with immediate implants. Dental implants can stop you from losing bone mass while restoring your bite, but the longer you go without a tooth, the more likely you are to lose bone, so timely care is crucial. If you've lost a tooth, or require an extraction, ask us if a dental implant is right for you.

What do I do in a Dental Emergency?

Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding

Dental emergencies can be stressful, but staying calm helps you think clearly and act quickly. If there’s bleeding, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and use a sterile gauze or clean cloth to apply light but steady pressure. Hold it in place for 10–15 minutes or until the bleeding slows down. If a tooth has been injured, avoid touching or disturbing the area. Keeping calm will help you get through those first few critical moments until you can get professional help.

Control Swelling & Pain

For most dental injuries, you can manage pain and swelling temporarily at home. Use over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to control discomfort, but steer clear of aspirin—it can thin your blood and worsen bleeding. You can also apply a cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your cheek near the affected area in 10-minute intervals. This not only eases inflammation but can also help you feel more in control while you wait to be seen.

Call Us Right Away

Once you’ve managed your symptoms, the most important next step is to call our office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

What should I expect during an emergency dental visit?

When you visit an emergency dentist, like Dr. Yenan Xu at 803 Dental, you can expect a thorough and compassionate approach to your dental emergency. The visit typically begins with an assessment of your symptoms and a discussion about the events leading up to the emergency. This helps the dentist understand the nature of the problem and determine the most appropriate course of action.

Next, the dentist will conduct a detailed examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums. This may involve taking X-rays to get a clearer picture of the issue. Once the examination is complete, the dentist will discuss their findings with you and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The goal is to alleviate pain, address the immediate concern, and prevent any further complications.

Throughout the process, Dr. Xu and his team at 803 Dental prioritize patient comfort and ensure you are informed and involved in every step of your treatment.

What should I do if my dental work has fallen out?

If a dental restoration falls out, try to keep it safe and bring it with you in a sealed plastic bag or small container. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth, and stay away from very hot, cold, or sugary foods that could irritate the exposed tooth. A lost filling or crown can leave your tooth vulnerable to bacteria and damage, so don’t delay. Contact our office and let us know what happened—we’ll do our best to get you in quickly and restore your smile.

What should I do about a severe toothache?

A toothache that lasts more than 1–2 days, especially if it’s throbbing, may be a sign of infection or an abscess. Try rinsing with warm salt water, applying a cold compress, and using OTC pain relief to stay comfortable. But remember, these are only temporary fixes. A dentist needs to assess the cause of the pain to provide long-term relief. Depending on the severity, we may recommend a root canal or other treatment to save the tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.

What should I do about a loose tooth?

If your tooth has been knocked loose from trauma or an accident, you may still have a chance to save it—but you need to act fast. Refrain from wiggling or pressing on the tooth with your fingers or tongue, as this can worsen the injury. Call our office right away. If treated early, we can often stabilize the tooth with a splint and give it time to heal and reattach to surrounding bone and gum tissue. Waiting too long could lead to tooth loss, so don’t delay reaching out.
