When the Unexpected Happens
A dental emergency rarely happens at a convenient time. Whether it's a knocked-out tooth during a mountain biking excursion at Bear Creek Lake Park or a sudden, throbbing toothache that hits in the middle of the night, dental pain is an urgent medical matter. At Raines Over the Rockies Family Dentistry, we are uniquely equipped to handle Dental Emergencies for the Lakewood and Littleton communities because we have the technology to provide "Definitive Care" in a single visit.
Defining a Dental Emergency
Not every dental issue is an emergency, but you should call us immediately if you experience:
- Avulsed (Knocked-out) Tooth: If we can see you within an hour, there is a high chance we can save the natural tooth.
- Severe Swelling: This often indicates an abscess or infection that could spread to the rest of the body.
- Fractured or Broken Teeth: Sharp edges can damage the tongue and cheeks, and the inner pulp may be exposed.
Same-Day Solutions with fastmill.io™ and iTero
Most emergency dentists will give you a "temporary" patch and send you to a specialist. Because we have the fastmill.io™ in-office mill, we can often diagnose a broken tooth with our Kavo 3D imaging, perform Root Canal Therapy if needed, and mill a permanent Same-Day Crown immediately. We stop the pain and fix the problem in one go.
Comfort During Crisis: IsoDry and Sedation
Emergency visits are stressful. We utilize the IsoDry system to keep your mouth supported and dry, ensuring the doctor can work with maximum speed. For patients in extreme pain or with high anxiety, we offer Sedation options to help you relax while we stabilize your smile.
In a dental crisis, every minute counts. Contact Raines Over the Rockies Family Dentistry for immediate, high-tech emergency care.
