Emergency Root Canal

Emergency Dentist - Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, AZ

If you have tooth pain that is simply unbearable, an emergency root canal may be your best treatment option. If the pain begins when you drink hot or cold liquid, or when you chew with a particular tooth, but persists and gets worse, a root canal may be called for. Other times, you may need a  root canal after your dentist discovers the pulp chamber is compromised when placing a deep filling to prevent pain from starting. You may also need a root canal if you have severely broken a tooth, exposing the pulp chamber.  Even though the pain may be minimal at first, don’t wait to have injuries checked as the situation may become substantially worse and that may occur at a very inconvienent time.

Our Mesa dentists offer 24 Hour Emergency Dental information and when needed actual care, so you can get the the information and dental care you need now. Call 480-834-6991 to schedule an emergency appointment or you can email us to schedule a non-emergency appointment.

Quality Emergency Care

During an emergency root canal, the main concern is timeliness: getting the procedure completed now so you can begin getting over the excruciating discomfort of the abcessed tooth and begin recovery. But that doesn't mean you should sacrifice quality. After all, a poorly done root canal is likely to need to be redone later, and that is the last thing you want.

Our digital x-rays have superior resolution to conventional x-ray films, which helps us better determine the extent of your problem and plan successful emergency treatment from the get-go. Digital x-rays make it easier to determine whether your teeth have multiple roots or canals that need to be drained and sealed before the tooth is crowned. Undetected extra canals are a leading cause of the need to retreat root canals..

Complete Emergency Care

The Drs. of Smiles utilize CEREC technology, an advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing technology that can produce high-quality all-ceramic restorations while you wait. This means that you can actually get your porcelain crown  finished in one visit, rather than having to wait weeks and wear a temporary crown before the final crown is placed.

Depending on the nature of your emergency, a CEREC crown many not be appropriate. If you need additional follow-up, a temporary crown may actually be best for you while we have your final crown made. We will make recommendations when you visit us.

Comfortable Emergency Care

Emergency root canals are often the product of dental anxiety. If you put off normal dental treatment until it became an emergency, your anxiety doesn't go away just because you need treatment now. We offer nitrous oxide gas and oral sedation to help you overcome any anxiety you may have about have the "dreaded" root canal. (Amazingly, they are almost totally pain free as so many of our patients testify--trust us!)

Relaxation dentistry also means that you can get the emergency and regular dental care you need in the most comfortable way possible. Some of our patients even report that an experience with relaxation dentistry makes future visits easier and more relaxing, even without nitrous or oral sedation.
