Emergency Dental Care in Scarborough, ON

Dentistry at Alton Towers is well-equipped to handle your tooth emergency. Some common tooth emergencies we help with are:

  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Broken or lost restorations, like a filling or crown
  • Cracked or broken dentures
  • Toothaches 
  • Dental infections or abscesses
  • Knocked-out teeth

We encourage patients to contact our Scarborough dental clinic before going to the hospital emergency room. Your dentist is much better equipped to provide dental emergency treatment, and it may save you valuable time and money. 

Emergency Treatment We May Recommend

Every patient's needs are different, especially in an emergency. However, some of the treatments our dentist may recommend could include one or more of the following procedures:

  • Tooth-colored fillings — Eliminates tooth decay and other damage that could be causing discomfort
  • Porcelain crowns or veneers — Covers compromised or damaged teeth and restores them to health
  • Root canal treatment — Eliminates tooth infection, alleviates pain, and protects natural tooth structure
  • Tooth extraction — The last resort when root canal treatment can't save a compromised tooth
  • Dental implants — The best option for replacing one or multiple missing teeth
