Dental Emergencies in Santa Clara, CA

A dental emergency can ruin your day and cause tooth loss, serious oral health problems, or expensive dental work if not treated right away. When you have an emergency, our Santa Clara office can schedule a same-day appointment to relieve pain and resolve the issue quickly. Don’t let an emergency turn into a long-term health problem.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Any mouth injury, damage, or illness requiring immediate care is a dental emergency. You may need to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

• Knocked-out tooth
• Displaced tooth
• Broken or cracked tooth
• Lost crowns or fillings
• Broken jaw
• Facial lacerations
• Deep gum, tongue, or lip lacerations
• Uncontrolled bleeding

Same-Day Emergency Crowns With CEREC Technology

Lost or damaged crowns and fillings are among the most common problems our emergency dentist in Santa Clara sees. When a crown is missing, the exposed tooth is at risk of infection, rapid decay, breakage, and painful sensitivity to hot and cold. Delaying treatment can result in additional, permanent damage to an already compromised tooth and may require tooth extraction.

Fortunately, Chao Dental Studio can prepare and place same-day emergency crowns using CEREC technology. With this innovative approach, we can first eliminate your pain with the appropriate anesthetic, then examine the tooth, take digital impressions, and use advanced CEREC technology to design and fabricate a custom crown right here in our office. You can  have a new crown placed the same day, preserving your tooth and protecting it from future damage.

After Hours Emergency Dental Care – Get in Touch with Us

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, contact our office immediately at Chao Dental Studio Office Phone Number 408-554-1100. We will do everything in our power to see you the same day or the next morning. If your emergency is after hours, you can call for instructions on emergency dental care. Even if it’s at 3:00AM or over the weekend!

What to Do During a Dental Emergency?

Don’t panic. Call us immediately, especially if you need an emergency dental appointment. If you have lost a tooth, put it in milk or salt water and bring it to our office. When teeth are knocked out, act fast. Do not delay contacting us.

To manage pain and swelling before treatment, use ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Apply a cold compress or ice pack to your cheek. For a severe toothache, bite down on a wet teabag or use a few drops of clove oil. Don’t try to fix a broken tooth yourself. Professional care is crucial for recovery.
