We can address many different urgent concerns, including sudden pain, missing or knocked out teeth and structural damage. We also provide a call service that works round the clock all year.

Appropriate care can significantly ease discomfort and lessen the severity of any damage.

Providing Relief and Treatment for Current Patients and New Patients

Have you or a loved one ever had a dental emergency and could not reach your dentist? It is a stressful and in most cases a painful experience.  Whether you are a current patient or a possible new patient, we will still treat your dental emergency. We view it as an opportunity to show you the exceptional care you will receive from our skilled, compassionate doctors and staff at Ocala Dental Care

Sudden Toothache Relief

A sudden or severe/painful toothache could indicate that dental decay has reached the nerve of your tooth and you may need a root canal procedure to remove the infection and alleviate the pain.

Knocked Out Tooth Repair

A knocked-out tooth is among one of the most alarming dental emergencies. However, with our expert care we can quickly restore your appearance and dental function. In fact, in many cases we can save your natural tooth. However, you must act quickly when the tooth comes out. Rinse it off carefully without touching the roots. Then place it back in the socket and bite down to keep it in place. If this causes too much discomfort, store the tooth in a container of milk, saliva or saline.

If we cannot reattach your natural tooth we can replace it with a nearly identical restoration. A bridge is a common affordable option. Comprised of three or more crowns, the restoration will attach to your natural teeth, much like a single crown. We use advanced materials such as porcelain and zirconia, and we often provide same day bridges. Alternatively, a dental implant will replace both your tooth and the root itself. Dr. Salifu  and Dr. Geris performs all steps in implant dentistry. Once treatment is complete, you will have an incredibly stable and lifelike restoration that will also prevent jawbone recession.

Broken or Cracked Tooth Repair

The protocol for a broken tooth is like that of a knocked-out tooth. If the missing piece is large enough, store it in milk, saliva or saline. In the interim, you can minimize discomfort by taking over the counter medication or using and ice pack. If there is any bleeding gently bite down on a piece of gauze.

The right treatment will depend on the severity of the structural damage. In most cases, a crown may be needed to restore.  We use porcelain and zirconia for our restorations. Therefore, your custom-crafted crown will have a natural color and a slight translucence. Finally, if a large crack has exposed your tooth root, we will typically recommend root canal therapy.
