Time is a precious commodity when you are dealing with a dental emergency. Don’t wait to find out if your situation requires urgent care. In her 20-plus years of practice, Dr. Shook has treated many dental emergencies. You can trust her with yours. Some of the common circumstances you’ll want to call us for include:
- Cracked Teeth – Depending on the severity of the crack, we can restore your tooth with a dental veneer or a dental crown.
- Broken Teeth – If you are suffering with a broken tooth, we’ll usually mend it by placing a crown over your damaged tooth.
- Knocked-Out Teeth – If you get to us right away, we may be able to save your tooth. If not, we’ll ensure the site is in good shape for a future tooth replacement.
- Toothaches – A toothache is often a sign of a cavity or possibly an infected tooth. We can treat most cavities with a filling or other dental restoration. For an infected tooth, Dr. Shook can perform a root canal.
Though we offer same-day emergency appointments to everyone who calls during business hours, all of our current patients have access to after-hours emergency dental care as well.
