Urgent Dental Care: Restoring Comfort and Confidence
At Murrayville Dental Clinic, we help provide immediate relief for distressing dental emergencies, such as pain or injury. Our dental professionals are dedicated to providing emergency dental care to address your urgent needs promptly and effectively. We have flexible appointments to help you seek time-sensitive care for when your oral health is impacted unexpectedly.
Toothache Relief
Toothaches can be excruciating and disrupt your daily life. Whether it’s caused by decay, infection, or other issues, our dental team will promptly diagnose the root cause of your pain and provide immediate relief. We’ll alleviate your discomfort and discuss the appropriate treatment options to address the underlying issue.
Chipped or Broken Tooth Repair
Accidents happen, and a chipped or broken tooth can be both painful and cosmetically concerning. Our emergency dental care includes swift assessment and repair of damaged teeth. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may use techniques like dental bonding, dental crowns, or veneers to restore your tooth’s appearance and function.
Lost Filling or Crown Replacement
Losing a filling or crown can expose sensitive tooth structures and cause discomfort. Our services include replacing lost or damaged fillings and crowns to protect your teeth and prevent further complications. We use high-quality materials to ensure a seamless and durable restoration.
Abscess Treatment
Dental abscesses are painful, pus-filled infections that require immediate attention to prevent the spread of infection and alleviate discomfort. Our team of emergency dentists will drain the abscess, provide antibiotics if necessary, and develop a treatment plan to address the underlying dental issue, such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction.
Knocked-Out Tooth Re-implantation
A knocked-out tooth can be saved if re-implanted promptly. In the event of a dental trauma, carefully rinse the tooth (avoid touching the root) and place it back into the socket if possible. If not, store it in a milk container and seek immediate dental care. Our urgent dental services include re-implantation attempts and follow-up care to increase the chances of saving your natural tooth.
Emergency Dental Extractions
Sometimes, a dental emergency may necessitate tooth extraction, particularly if the tooth is severely damaged or decayed. Our skilled dental team will assess the situation, provide anesthesia for your comfort, and perform extractions when required, ensuring that you receive the necessary care with compassion and expertise.
Treatment for Facial Trauma
Facial trauma, such as a broken jaw or facial lacerations, can be distressing and require immediate attention. Our emergency dental care extends to addressing facial injuries, providing essential treatment to stabilize fractures and facilitate proper healing.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Orthodontic emergencies, such as broken braces or wires, can cause discomfort and require prompt attention. Our orthodontic specialists are available to address these issues, provide adjustments, and ensure that your orthodontic treatment progresses smoothly.
Pain Management and Dental Sedation
We understand that dental emergencies can cause significant pain and anxiety. Our dental team offers pain management solutions, including local anesthesia and dental sedation options, to ensure your comfort during emergency procedures.
When to Seek an Emergency Dentist:
It’s crucial to recognize when dental problems constitute an emergency. Common signs that you should seek immediate dental care include:
- Severe tooth pain or persistent oral discomfort
- Bleeding from the mouth that doesn’t stop
- Swelling or lumps in the mouth, face, or neck
- Broken or knocked-out teeth
- Damaged dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns
- Signs of infection, such as a dental abscess or swollen gums
If you experience any of these symptoms or believe you are experiencing a dental emergency, please get in touch with us immediately by phone. We are here to provide the expert care you need at our Langley Clinic to address your dental emergency promptly and effectively.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Why Urgent Dental Care is Critical
Relieve Pain
When an emergency situation arises, it's important to try to see a dentist as soon as possible to prevent pain from lingering and distressing the patient. Prolonged pain can be both mentally and physically taxing.
Improved Chance of Repair
In certain situations, like with a knocked out tooth, the faster you can see a dentist, the better the chance of repair and restoration. A quick assessment is your best chance at long-term success after an injury.
Prevent Further Damage
The longer a dental issue remains untreated, the more likely damage and decay are to occur. Even if a patient feels "fine", there are many underlying factors contributing to oral health that are at play. It's better not to take chances.
