Emergency Dentistry

Fast relief when you need it most. Our emergency dentistry services are available for sudden pain, trauma or infections—so you can get back to smiling without delay.

About Emergency Dentistry

When a dental emergency strikes—whether it’s a raging toothache, a cracked tooth, or a knocked-out tooth—you need prompt, expert care. At Fairfax Dental & Cosmetics, we offer same-day appointments for urgent situations, employing gentle pain management and the latest techniques to diagnose and treat your issue quickly. Our compassionate team will stabilize your condition, relieve your discomfort, and create a follow-up plan to restore your smile fully.

How it Works

Rapid Triage & Exam

Call or complete our online form to let us know it’s an emergency. We’ll see you the same day for an immediate exam and X-rays.

Pain Management

We administer local anesthesia and provide prescription-strength pain relief to control your discomfort right away.

Definitive Treatment

Depending on your need, we’ll perform tooth repair (fillings, crowns), repositioning (for dislodged teeth), root-canal therapy, or extractions.

Recovery & Follow-up

You’ll receive detailed home-care instructions and a follow-up plan—whether that’s a final restoration, referral to a specialist, or routine monitoring.

Who It’s For

  • You have severe tooth pain or swelling that won’t go away
  • You’ve fractured, chipped or knocked-out a tooth
  • You’re experiencing a dental abscess or infection
  • You have lost or broken a crown, filling or restoration
  • You can’t reach relief with over-the-counter medications

No matter the nature of your dental emergency, our team is devoted to more than just immediate relief. We’ll guide you through every step of your recovery—from post-treatment care instructions and pain-management strategies to scheduling any necessary follow-up or restorative work—so that your smile is not only saved today, but stays healthy for years to come.
