Emergency Dentist Chattanooga
You Deserve to Have a Brilliant Smile.
A bad toothache, broken tooth, or swollen gums can make it hard to eat, sleep, or work. Contact McKinney Dental if you experience intense or persistent tooth pain, swelling around a tooth, a fractured tooth, or the loss of a permanent tooth. We provide emergency dental care in Chattanooga, TN, and assess problems such as possible infections, cracked teeth, and lost fillings or crowns. These problems can get worse without care, so it’s best to call when symptoms start rather than wait for your next routine visit.
At your urgent visit, we’ll ask about your symptoms, examine the affected area, and take X-rays if needed. We’ll then explain what we find and discuss treatment options based on your needs and the condition of your tooth. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, bleeding that won’t stop, fast-spreading facial or neck swelling, or a serious facial injury, go to a hospital emergency room right away.
The Emergency Dentist Chattanooga Trusts for Immediate Dental Care
Caring and Professional Dental Team
Our team knows that sudden dental pain can be stressful, especially when you don’t know what’s causing it. We take time to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel at ease during your visit. Rather than offer the same plan for every patient, we’ll explain the care that may fit your dental needs. If a tooth is damaged or painful, we’ll talk through the options after we examine it. Our goal is to help you understand your choices and feel informed before treatment begins.
Immediate Emergency Appointments Available
We offer emergency dental visits for patients with sudden tooth pain, injuries, and other urgent concerns. If you need care, call our office at (423) 266-1714 and tell us what happened and when your symptoms began. We’ll discuss appointment times and let you know how to request a visit. We offer same-day emergency visits when our schedule allows, but a visit is not guaranteed. Calling first helps you check current availability before coming to our Chattanooga office. You can also use our online appointment link to send a request for care.
Advanced Technology
We use dental technology, including panoramic X-rays and CEREC, to help us assess problems and plan care. Panoramic X-rays give us a broad view of your teeth and jaws when that type of image is needed. This can help us review areas that may not be easy to see during a dental exam. With CEREC, we can make certain crowns and other restorations in one visit when the tooth is suitable. Not every dental emergency calls for a crown or the same type of X-ray. We’ll examine your teeth and explain which tools and treatments make sense for your situation.
Tailored Pain Relief Options
We know pain can make a dental visit feel harder, so your comfort matters to our team. We’ll ask where it hurts, how long you’ve had symptoms, and what seems to make the pain worse. This helps us assess the concern and discuss ways to manage pain while we plan care. We’ll explain the treatment we recommend and give you time to ask questions. Although we can’t promise a pain-free visit, we’ll work to make your care as comfortable as we can.
