Serving Aspen, CO for Emergency Dental Care

If you need a tooth immediately extracted due to infection or trauma, we can remove it to save your oral health and improve your smile. Give our Basalt office a call right away if you’re experiencing any pain or sensitivity from your tooth so our doctors can examine and extract it, if necessary.

If you have a cracked, loose, or lost crown, bride, or mercury-free filling, we recommend saving any pieces you may have of it and bring it in so we can save your tooth. Please don’t wait too long to give us a call, as it can increase your risk of infection.

Sometimes, your orthodontic clear aligners may crack or become lost, and waiting for a new set can affect your treatment. If this happens to you or your child, let our team know so we can get a new pair of aligners for you.

If your dental implant becomes loose or gets knocked out, it’s best to get in for an emergency appointment so we can address the situation. Also, if your dentures or implant-supported dentures break, bring them in with you at the next available appointment so we can repair it.

If you need emergency dental care, but our office is unavailable, you can go to the Emergency Room (ER) if necessary. The ER will treat you in certain instances, and they will bill your health insurance.

However, the ER typically won’t be able to treat most dental problems unless it’s a health emergency. They can provide you with temporary measures to reduce your discomfort until we’re able to see you.

Almost any dental problem that needs immediate treatment to stop bleeding, relieve pain, or save a tooth from further damage is considered a dental emergency. Whether a tooth is knocked out, a restoration is cracked, or you have a bad infection, Elevate Dental Wellness can help provide urgent dental care.

The emergency treatments we offer include tooth extractions, repairs for fillings, crowns, or bridges, orthodontic care, and dental implant or denture adjustments.

If your tooth gets knocked out, give our Basalt dental office a call right away. We will do our best to get you in within the hour so we can salvage your tooth.

Be sure to be delicate with your tooth and hold it by the top, not the root, so you don’t damage any cells. Additionally, rinse the tooth in water, but don’t scrub it, and bring it in with you to the appointment.

If you fracture one of your teeth, immediately rinse your mouth with warm water and use an ice pack on the outside of your mouth to reduce swelling. To help with pain, take an over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen.

Be sure to give us a call to get in for an emergency appointment so we can fix your broken, chipped, or cracked tooth. You may see online that you can buy oral glue to reattach your tooth, but please don’t do this. Only our doctors can successfully repair your fractured tooth.
