Repair Damaged Teeth With Restorative Dentistry

We handle many common emergencies with restorative dental care:

  • Tooth Fillings – If you’re in pain caused by a cavity, we can often repair it with a dental filling. With tooth-colored composite fillings, you won’t have to worry about dark fillings showing when you smile.
  • Dental Crowns – A crown can mend a crack or break in a tooth or repair damage caused by severe dental decay.
  • Root Canals – If bacteria gets inside your tooth and causes an infection, you’ll need a root canal to remove the infected material and save the tooth.

In some cases, a tooth will be so badly damaged that an extraction is needed. In most cases, we’ll be able to remove the tooth for you.

Sedation Can Calm You in an Emergency

Even if you’re normally calm at the dentist, a dental emergency can make you feel anxious. We can soothe your nerves with one of our three kinds of dental sedation:

  • Laughing Gas – This relaxes you almost immediately when you breathe it in through a small mask. You’ll be able to drive yourself home since it wears off fast and leaves no lingering grogginess.
  • Oral Sedative – Though you’ll need to wait 30-60 minutes for it to take effect, a prescription pill will provide a deeper level of relaxation.
  • IV Sedation – This is our heaviest form of sedation. It will be administered by Dr. Tozzer, who teaches sedation safety at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC.

I just moved into the area. I did a lot of research on the dentist office's in my area and I didn't find one that caught my eye but Tozzer Dental did. The staff is amazing! I was late and lost and they were still very helpful and patient. Its been awhile seen I have seen a dentist but I felt right at home there. Everyone that spoke with me were very knowledgeable. After my appointment I was given great goodies to take home such as a coffee mug, cookies, and a gift certificate for Starbucks (Can we say winning!!!) So glad I came here...looking forward to my follow-up!

Dr. Tozzer and his entire staff are fantastic! They are very gentle and they make sure that you're comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Every time I go in, I always have such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies

In his 40 years of practice, Dr. Tozzer has seen many dental emergencies. Some of the most common ones are broken teeth, severe toothaches caused by infected teeth, and broken dental restorations. We reserve time in our daily schedule for handling emergencies, so we can quickly relieve any discomfort you’re feeling.

Some emergencies are more time sensitive than others. If a tooth gets knocked out, you’ll have the best chance of saving it if you can see us within an hour. We’ll give you directions on how to transport the tooth to our office. Most other emergencies can wait a day or so. We’ll give you directions on what to do to minimize discomfort until you can see us.

You can certainly go to the ER for dental emergencies, but be aware that a dentist will probably not be available to treat you. They will most likely offer you pain relievers and/or antibiotics to control an infection until you’re able to get a dental appointment. Infection can be serious, so you should go to the ER if you’re in severe pain or if you’re experiencing fever with pain and/or swelling.
