Our Katy, TX dental practice can work with you if you want to make dramatic cosmetic dental improvements. We can also help you plan services meant to restore an incomplete smile, or to help you address issues that contribute to your flawed bite. What you might not realize is that in addition to helping you plan care, we can also help you when you need treatment on short notice! We do provide emergency services for our patients when they experience a dental injury, or when they have an issue with dental pain. We can provide the necessary restorative services, and ensure that you remain confident in your appearance after urgent work is done.
What Can I Do If I Think I Need Emergency Treatment?
If you have active dental pain, or a physical injury that needs to be treated, you can reach out to arrange care. Whenever possible, we will make sure that a patient is able to see us in the same day of the incident. In addition to arranging your visit when you call, we can talk to you about taking preliminary steps to help you manage the health of your tooth, and your discomfort. Calling for help as soon as you think you need emergency treatment is important, as a delay can put more space between you and the services that you require!
Providing Quality Care On Short Notice
During your appointment, your dentist will make sure that your needs are fully addressed. The first step will involve managing the health of your tooth. Once this is done, the next step will be to restore it. Our practice can use lifelike dental crowns for serious tooth injuries, so your smile is not changed. If the damage is only superficial, it may be treatable with a dental veneer, which only covers the front of your tooth.
In the event that your dental emergency damages a tooth to the point where it cannot be saved, your dentist can talk to you about starting the process of planning prosthetic dental work. You can learn about the benefits of having an implant-held restoration – this arrangement keeps your prosthetic secure, so it is more useful when you bite and chew.
Addressing The Effect Your Dental Emergency Has On Your Smile
Modern restorations, as well as cosmetic dental work when it is appropriate, can ensure that your smile is not permanently altered by your dental injury. Your dentist can determine what kind of restoration might be required after providing treatment for your tooth.
