Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. That is why Sierra Tahoe Dental offers flexible after-hours care to save your tooth—and your peace of mind.
Severe Tooth Pain or Abscess
If pain is keeping you awake or radiating to your jaw or ear, you need immediate attention to stop the infection.
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
From skiing accidents to biting down wrong, we can repair broken teeth quickly to restore your smile and comfort.
Swelling or Signs of Infection
Swelling in the gums or face is a sign of a serious infection. Do not ignore it—urgent treatment is required.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
A lost restoration can leave nerves exposed and sensitive. We can often re-cement or replace it in a single visit.
