Our highly qualified emergency dentists at Gordon Dental draw on extensive clinical experience and advanced training to provide professional, timely treatment for a comprehensive range of dental emergencies, including:
Tooth pain can be a sign of decay, infection, or a cracked tooth. Our dentists will diagnose the cause of your pain and provide treatment such as fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction if necessary.
Accidents happen, and a chipped tooth can be painful and sensitive. We can repair broken teeth using composite bonding or crowns, restoring both function and appearance.
A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency. If treated quickly, the tooth may be saved and reimplanted. We provide urgent care to improve the chances of saving the tooth.
A lost filling or crown can expose the tooth and cause pain or infection. Our North Shore emergency dentists provide immediate replacement or repair to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
An abscess is a serious infection that needs prompt attention. We can treat infections with antibiotics, drainage, and follow-up care to prevent complications.
Bleeding gums can indicate infection, injury, or gum disease. Our dentists will assess the cause and provide gentle treatment to reduce inflammation and restore oral health.
For other emergency issues, such as tooth replacement, we offer fast assessment and treatment to restore your tooth and prevent further damage or infection.

Swelling can indicate infection or injury and should be assessed promptly, especially if it is painful or worsening.
