Our Emergency Dentistry Exam
Emergency Dental Care in Comfort
As a Fort Collins emergency dentist, it is our priority to keep you as comfortable as possible while you undergo any needed dental procedure used to address your dental emergency. As a patient at our dental practice, you’ll have the choice between oral sedation or iv conscious sedation if desired – both of which will allow you to comfortably relax during your treatment appointments. We offer Nitrous oxide for immediate anxiety relief for any patient. We also apply a local anesthetic to the problem areas to keep you from sensing pain.
What to do in a Dental Emergency
Toothache
If you’re experiencing a severe toothache, call us even if you don’t know why. Experience has shown that severe tooth pain almost always has an underlying cause that needs to be addressed.
Broken tooth or chipped tooth
Knocked-out Tooth
One of the more unfortunate and painful dental injuries is getting a tooth knocked out – usually due to trauma. According to the American Association of Endodontists, you need to act within 30 minutes to have a reasonable chance of saving your tooth.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Cracked Teeth
Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns are highly effective at fortifying and protecting weakened or damaged teeth. Unfortunately on very rare occasions they can become loose or even fall off of your tooth. If you think you need a crown, or if your crown has become loose or dislodged, call our office for immediate treatment.
Root Canals
If your tooth is infected, you may be in need of a root canal in order to not only preserve the infected tooth – but also to prevent the infection from surrounding teeth. Left untreated, an infected tooth may need to be extracted – which can result in a major loss of overall tooth function – and the need to replace the extracted tooth.
