Same-Day Relief. Long-Term Solutions.

When sudden tooth pain, swelling, or a dental injury strikes, you shouldn't have to wait. At Pittsburgh Dentistry & Implants, we provide fast, compassionate emergency dental care — same-day appointments, expert diagnosis, and immediate treatment, all under one roof.

Whether it’s a broken tooth, infection, or severe discomfort, our experienced team is here to restore comfort, protect your health, and help you smile again.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

We understand emergencies come in all forms. Here’s what we can help you with — often the same day:

Severe Toothache or Sensitivity

Sudden, throbbing pain may indicate an infection or exposed nerve. Our team uses digital diagnostics and 3D imaging to find the cause fast and deliver immediate relief.

Dental Abscess or Infection

Facial swelling, pus, or foul taste in your mouth may signal a dangerous dental abscess. We offer emergency drainage, antibiotics, and treatment to prevent the spread of infection.

Broken, Cracked, or Knocked-Out Teeth

Whether from trauma or biting into something hard, fractured or lost teeth require urgent attention. We can often re-implant knocked-out teeth if you come in quickly enough.

Lost Filling or Crown

A lost restoration can leave your tooth vulnerable. We offer same-day repairs or replacements to prevent further damage or discomfort.

Bleeding Gums or Oral Injury

If you’ve suffered a mouth injury or have spontaneous gum bleeding, our team will stop the bleeding, assess for internal trauma, and guide the proper next steps.

Broken Dentures or Loose Implant Crowns

Your smile shouldn’t be on hold. We offer prompt repairs or temporary fixes for broken appliances and restorations.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Time matters. Here’s what to do before you arrive:

Tooth Knocked Out

Keep it moist in milk or saliva. Do NOT scrub it.

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water. Avoid aspirin directly on the gum.

Swelling

Use a cold compress, not heat.

Lost Crown/Filling

Keep the area clean. Temporary dental cement can help.

And then: Call us right away. We’ll fit you in as soon as possible.
