Emergency Dentistry
When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. Whether you’ve broken a tooth, developed severe pain, lost a crown, or experienced a dental injury, receiving prompt treatment can make all the difference in relieving discomfort and protecting your smile. 

Our practice offers same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, providing timely, compassionate care when you need it most.

Our priority is to quickly diagnose the cause of your emergency, relieve your pain, and restore your oral health with treatment options that are efficient, durable, and designed to get you back to your normal routine. In an emergency? Call Woodruff Dental in Nokomis today.

Fast, Comprehensive Emergency Care

When you arrive for your emergency visit, we perform a thorough examination to identify the source of your discomfort and develop the right course of treatment. Whenever possible, we strive to complete your treatment during the same appointment, minimizing additional visits and helping you return to your daily life sooner. The most common dental emergencies we treat are:

  • Severe toothaches
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Cracked teeth
  • Lost fillings or crowns
  • Dental infections or abscesses
  • Knocked-out or loose teeth
  • Swollen gums or facial swelling
  • Dental trauma from accidents or sports injuries

No matter the situation, our team will explain your treatment options and work quickly to restore your comfort.

Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology

One of the biggest advantages of our emergency dental care is our ability to create high-quality restorations in a single visit using CEREC® technology. Traditional crowns often require multiple appointments and temporary restorations while a dental lab creates the final crown.

With CEREC, we can digitally design, fabricate, and place many custom crowns during the same appointment. Benefits of same-day crowns include:

  • One convenient visit
  • No temporary crowns
  • Digital impressions for greater comfort
  • Beautiful, natural-looking results
  • Strong, long-lasting restorations
  • Less time away from work or family

We offer premium ceramic and zirconia crowns that are custom-crafted to restore both the appearance and strength of your tooth.

Prompt Care Can Save Your Smile

Many dental emergencies become more serious when treatment is delayed. What begins as a small crack or minor discomfort can quickly progress into infection, significant tooth damage, or the need for more extensive treatment. Seeking care as soon as possible often allows for more conservative solutions, less pain, and better long-term outcomes.
