Personalized Emergency Care From a Dentist Who Knows You
Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. Whether you’re struggling with a cracked tooth, a knocked-out molar, or sudden, severe tooth pain, our team is ready to help.
Mount Vernon Dental Group doesn’t treat emergencies like a one-size-fits-all problem. We build personalized treatment plans based on your unique dental history and the urgency of your situation. Because we know our patients well, we act fast, accurately, and confidently when minutes count. Additionally, we will help you navigate your insurance coverage and explain our flexible financing options.
The dentist begins the visit by listening carefully. Understanding what happened helps us prioritize treatment. We then use digital X-rays, CBCT scans, and intraoral imaging to get a clear view of the problem immediately. These tools let us diagnose accurately and treat efficiently, all during the same visit.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe Tooth Pain
Pain that keeps you up at night or makes eating hard may indicate infection or damage. We identify the source and ease the pain fast, before it worsens.
Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Teeth
Even minor chips can lead to long-term damage. The dentist uses digital imaging and electric handpieces to quickly stabilize and repair your tooth.
Knocked-Out Teeth
A lost tooth is a true emergency. If possible, bring the tooth, and we’ll act quickly to save or replace it.
Swollen Gums or Abscesses
These can signal deep infections. Saliva testing and advanced imaging help us target the infection and prevent it from spreading.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
If a filling or crown falls out, your tooth becomes vulnerable. We offer same-day solutions to restore strength and protect it.
