Same Day Dentistry Iowa Falls

If you or a loved one need fast or urgent dental treatment in Iowa Falls, Dr. Brad Miller may be available to provide the necessary treatment on the same day, depending on his availability and the time when you call the office.

What procedures can be handled on the same day?

Any injury or problem that affects the health of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues, resulting in severe pain or discomfort can be a considered serious enough to urgent treatment. That said, there are other oral issues that may not have obvious symptoms like pain, but require immediate care before they get worse.

For instance, Dr. Miller can provide same-day dentures for a quick fix to your smile and to restore the function of your mouth as you wait for a permanent solution.

When you have a problem that needs a fast solution, it is important that you seek dental assistance as soon as possible to preserve your oral health.

Some dental problems that can be addressed on the same day include:

Toothache

Toothache or sensitivity to heat or cold that is persistent may indicate that you have a cavity or tooth damage extending to the tooth pulp, where your blood vessels and nerves are located. The pain tends to be more severe with serious damage. Dr. Miller will diagnose your case and recommend an appropriate treatment, such as tooth-colored fillings, crowns, or root canal. He may use x-rays to determine the severity of the problem. If the tooth cannot be saved, it will be extracted, after which you can discuss possible tooth replacement options.

Damaged Crown

Although porcelain crowns are tough and durable, they can come off or break, especially if they’ve been in place for a long time. Damaged crowns will not only weaken the tooth, but also cause sensitivity or pain. It is important to get the crown replaced as soon as possible to protect and preserve your tooth and eliminate the symptoms.

Dislodged Tooth

A partially or completely knocked out tooth is a serious dental emergency that might cause you to lose an otherwise healthy natural tooth. A dislodged tooth after trauma, such as a fall, sports injury, or accident, can be saved if it is restored in its socket as soon as possible. Other problems that might require urgent care include:

• Broken braces and other dental appliances
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Abscessed Tooth
• Traumatic Oral Injury
