Dental emergencies can be unexpected and stressful. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, our experienced team is here to provide prompt and effective care. Our priority at Burlington Family Dentistry is to relieve your pain and address your dental emergency with the highest level of professionalism and care.
On occasion, our team of experts cannot save a tooth. When this is the case, we may recommend an extraction.
Often this is a simple procedure, which consists of our restorative dentist numbing the area and gently removing the tooth.
We’ll be sure to keep the area clean and check on your comfort throughout the procedure. After the tooth has been removed, we can provide a few restorative options, such as bridges or dental implants.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause overcrowding, alignment issues, or discomfort. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may lead to infection, pain, or damage to surrounding teeth. Our skilled team performs wisdom teeth extractions with precision and care, helping to prevent these complications. We provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal healing.
Teeth are incredibly durable, but at times excessive trauma or decay can impact their structure and health. When these issues affect the nerve or inside of your tooth, it can lead to an infection and can be very painful. However, this doesn’t mean your tooth cannot be saved!
With root canal therapy, our expert team can remove the infection and restore the integrity of your tooth. What’s more, this treatment is not painful and has been redesigned to provide a more comfortable experience.
During a root canal, the area around your tooth will be numbed, and you may be sedated (depending on your anxiety level). Then your dentist will carefully clean the area and remove the infection. The inside of your tooth is then filled with a special resin to secure the structure and prevent further infection. The tooth is then sealed with a crown.
This innovative procedure allows you to enjoy the benefits of a fully-functional tooth once again!
