- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Lost filling or crown
- Broken denture or partial
- Objects caught between teeth
- Dental trauma from accidents or sports
- Bleeding or trauma after extraction
- Root canal needed for severe pain
- Emergency tooth extraction

Understanding Our Advanced Technologies
To provide the best care, we use cutting-edge tools. Here's what some of these terms mean in simple language:
CEREC crowns let us repair or replace damaged teeth in just one visit. The name stands for Computer-assisted CERamic REConstruction. Using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), we create a custom ceramic crown for you right here in our office. You won’t need a temporary crown or extra appointments. You’ll leave with a permanent, natural-looking crown the same day.
3D CBCT means Cone Beam Computed Tomography. This advanced imaging tool gives us a clear, three-dimensional picture of your teeth, jaw, and nearby areas. It works like a high-tech X-ray, helping us find problems and plan treatments with a fast, painless scan.
