Dental emergencies can happen without warning. A knocked-out tooth, a severe infection, a broken jaw, or sudden swelling needs prompt evaluation and treatment by a trained oral surgeon, not just a general dentist. At Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery, Dr. Brian C. Lee provides same-day emergency appointments for urgent oral and facial conditions.
Our office at 20480 Pacifica Drive is open Monday through Friday. If you are experiencing a dental emergency in Cupertino, call (408) 214-5670 immediately.
What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing pain, discomfort, and potential long-term damage if left untreated. Emergency dentistry focuses on immediate diagnosis and treatment of urgent dental issues such as:
- Severe toothaches caused by infections or decay.
- Knocked-out teeth, which require prompt reattachment to prevent permanent loss.
- Broken or chipped teeth, often needing immediate repair to restore functionality and aesthetics.
- Facial or jaw trauma, including fractures and dislocations.
- Dental abscesses, which are serious infections that can spread if not treated promptly.
At Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide fast, reliable care to alleviate pain and restore your oral health.
Why Emergency Dentistry Matters
Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to complications like worsening infections, additional damage to teeth or gums, or even systemic health issues. Seeking immediate professional care ensures:
- Pain relief: Alleviating discomfort from injuries or infections.
- Infection control: Addressing issues like abscesses to prevent further spread.
- Preservation of teeth: Increasing the likelihood of saving damaged or knocked-out teeth.
- Improved outcomes: Early intervention minimizes risks of long-term oral health problems.
Emergency Dental Care Services We Provide
Our clinic specializes in a wide range of emergency dental treatments, tailored to your specific needs:
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Knocked-out or displaced teeth. If a tooth has been knocked out, time is critical. Place the tooth in milk or saline, avoid touching the root, and contact our office immediately. In many cases, the tooth can be re-implanted if treated within 30 to 60 minutes.
Broken, fractured, or cracked teeth. Teeth that are fractured below the gumline or split vertically often require surgical extraction and may need a dental implant for replacement.
Severe dental infections and abscesses. Untreated infections can spread to the jaw, neck, and airway. Dr. Lee provides surgical drainage, antibiotic management, and extraction when needed.
Jaw fractures and facial trauma. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon trained in emergency medicine and trauma, Dr. Lee treats fractures of the jaw, cheekbone, and orbital floor. Facial trauma cases are evaluated with our CBCT 3D scanner for precise diagnosis.
Post-surgical complications. Dry socket, excessive bleeding, or infection following a prior extraction or oral surgery procedure can be evaluated and treated the same day.
