    Proto Mini Dental Implants are an option for patients who are looking to replace their lost teeth but who either don’t want or are not candidates for traditional implants. Many patients want to replace their missing teeth but do not want to undergo the invasive surgery that is required for regular implants. Other patients are not candidates for traditional implants because they lack the bone mass to support the implant.

What is emergency dental care?

Emergency dental care treats urgent problems such as severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, or bleeding that will not stop. The first goal is to relieve pain and control infection; full treatment may follow at a later visit.

Emergency dental care: specialist or general dentist?

Most dental emergencies are handled by general dentists who keep same-day or after-hours slots. You may be referred to an endodontist or oral surgeon afterward. Facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a jaw injury needs a hospital emergency department.
