We Handle All Types of Dental Emergencies

Dr. Sidki and the rest of the Alpha Dental Center team can handle any dental emergency, including:

• Toothaches—Toothaches can be easy to dismiss. However, if you are experiencing persistent dental pain that does not go away, this indicates a serious oral health issue that requires immediate treatment from a dental professional. Pain may worsen when biting down and be accompanied by sensitivity to heat and cold, headache, swelling around the tooth or in the jaw, difficulty chewing or swallowing, foul-tasting discharge, or a fever. Most toothaches are caused by untreated tooth decay, but they can also result from loose or damaged fillings, misaligned teeth, tooth grinding, or the eruption of wisdom teeth. Our team will determine the cause of your pain and treat the underlying problems with a fully customized treatment plan.
• Periodontal Disease—After tooth decay, the leading cause for a toothache is periodontal disease, which results from infection and inflammation of the gum tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. In its early stage (gingivitis), gums can become red, swollen, tender, and bleed during flossing. Without treatment, gingivitis will progress to periodontal disease. Accumulated bacteria progressively weaken gums, causing them to recede. In this case, the gums can no longer support the teeth, and teeth can loosen or fall out entirely. We can treat periodontal disease through deep scaling of the affected teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and pockets of bacteria. Then, we’ll perform root planing to restore your gum tissue and encourage the reattachment of gums to teeth.
• Dental Trauma—Dental trauma can result from falling, being struck in the face during a sports game or car accident, or biting down on something hard. Teeth may be chipped, fractured, dislodged from their sockets, or knocked out completely. These injuries usually cause bleeding, swelling, and pain. However, in many cases, the damage extends beyond the visible surface of the teeth to the gums and bone structures that support the teeth. Our team will use x-rays to determine the full extent of the damage and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Cracked teeth can be topped with a crown for added protection, teeth with injured pulp can often be restored with a root canal, and loosened teeth can be stabilized with a splint or bonding to adjacent teeth.
• Dental Implants—If you experience severe tooth damage and cannot save the tooth, we can perform an extraction and restore your smile with dental implants. Dental implants are titanium posts implanted directly in your jawbone to support a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge, or fixed dentures. These permanent implants look, feel, and function just like healthy, natural teeth. They prevent shifting into the space left by an extraction and restore your ability to eat and speak without the hassle of removable dentures. Unlike a traditional bridge, there is no need to alter nearby teeth. Fortunately, most implants last a lifetime.

Dr. Sidki also offers general dentistry, dental bridges, dentures, full mouth restorations, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and Invisalign clear braces.
