Your Emergency Appointment at Precision Dental Group

An emergency clinical and radiographic exam will be done on the problem area. Recommendations and/or treatment will be offered to resolve your active concern. We encourage all patients to return for a comprehensive dental check-up after immediate concerns are addressed to prevent future emergency visits.

The Benefits of Receiving Urgent Dental Care

We know that in some cases, especially if there is little discomfort, receiving dental care can seem like a hassle. However, there are many reasons why you should receive care quickly for your smile.

Not treating a dental emergency can lead to permanent damage to your teeth or gums. In some severe cases, it can even lead to tooth loss. Stepping in as early as possible can help prevent these issues.

Emergency dental care can provide immediate relief from pain or swelling while also addressing the underlying issue.

We focus on comprehensive dentistry, so we know just how important your mouth is to your overall health. Infections and other dental issues can affect your entire body if left untreated.

A small treatment that addresses a dental issue can prevent a longer or more extensive issue down the road. For example, treating a small cavity with a filling can prevent a root canal or a tooth extraction.
