We're Here For You!
For any existing patients, we as a staff make it a priority that any dental emergency will be seen that day. If a patient has what they feel and is an emergency for them, whether it's obviously pain or aesthetics, anything that they feel is emergent enough that it's compromising their day-to-day routine, we will make sure we get them in. We always allow time in our schedule as well on a daily basis for new patients; patients that would be new to our practice, new to our community that are in dental pain and have a dental need that we can get them in, we can see them. If not, offering treatment to them. At least giving them some education, diagnosis, typically medication, antibiotic medication to get them out of pain and at least get them to a point where they can get back to functioning and getting on with their routines to avoid having further issues with their dental pain. We also really strive and pride ourselves on patient communication. We offer a texting service, and our phone answering service allows myself and my office manager and other members of our staff to be receiving phone calls or text messages any time of day, night, during the week or weekend. If a patient truly has a dental emergency on a Friday afternoon, they are going to be hearing from us by Friday. It is not a situation where we have a Monday through Friday, sorry if you missed us mentality. We really, really aim to take care of patients that are in need so we keep that service available and take a lot of pride in monitoring that and communicating effectively with all of our patients.
In an emergency — or any time — you’ll find:
- Technology like our CEREC system for same-day dental crowns that allows us to quickly and efficiently solve your problem
- Same-day appointments in many cases
- A choice of dental sedation to ease your discomfort and help you relax
- A wide variety of restorative procedures to address everything from a broken tooth to a painful infection
- Private operatories for calm and quiet treatment
If you need emergency dental care, call us right away at 541-668-8070.
Benefit From Dr. Drew’s Restorative Expertise
During his Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of Florida, Dr. Blake Drew gained advanced training and hands-on experience treating many issues with restorative dentistry and oral surgery. Among the emergency dental situations he can treat:
Severe Dental Pain — Depending on the cause of your pain, Dr. Drew can mend a cavity with a filling or crown or perform a root canal to repair an infected tooth. He can also remove teeth too damaged to save as well as painful wisdom teeth.- Bleeding And Tender Gums — A gum disease treatment removes bacteria that causes your gums to bleed and hurt. Without treatment, you can lose teeth to gum disease.
- Broken And Cracked Teeth — We’ll likely use a dental crown to fix damage like breaks, cracks, and large cavities. With our CEREC system, you’ll receive your crown the same day you come in. There’s no need to spend days wearing a temporary while you wait for a dental lab to produce your restoration.
- Broken Dental Restorations — CEREC makes it quick and easy to fix a broken crown.
No matter which emergency dental treatment you receive, you can get either laughing gas or an oral sedative to soothe your nerves.
