Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Severe toothache

Throbbing pain, pain when biting, or pain that wakes you up often means deep decay or infection. Treatment may include a filling, a root canal or an extraction.

Swelling or dental abscess

Swelling in the gums or face can be a sign of infection. An abscess needs prompt care and does not go away on its own.

Broken or chipped tooth

A cracked or broken tooth can often be repaired with bonding or a crown. Same-day CEREC crowns can restore a broken tooth in one visit.

Knocked-out tooth

Time matters. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently if dirty, and try to put it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep it in milk and come in right away.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it and avoid chewing on that side. A temporary repair may protect the tooth until it is fixed.

Wisdom tooth pain

Pain, swelling or a bad taste at the back of the mouth may come from an infected or impacted wisdom tooth. Learn about wisdom teeth removal in Reedley.

Broken denture or night guard

We can often repair or adjust dentures so you can eat comfortably again.

What to Do Before Your Visit

Rinse with warm salt water to keep the area clean
Use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for swelling
Take over-the-counter pain medicine as directed on the label
Do not place aspirin directly on the gums
Bring any broken pieces of tooth, crown or denture with you

What Happens at an Emergency Visit

We ask about your symptoms, examine the area and take X-rays. Then we explain what is wrong, your options and the cost before we begin. Our first goal is to relieve pain and stop infection. Some problems are fully treated the same day; others need a follow-up visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

Can I see a dentist today in Reedley?

Yes, Monday through Friday. Walk in or call (559) 637-0123 and we will see you the same day.

Are you open on weekends?

No. Our office is closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays. For a life-threatening emergency, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Is a toothache an emergency?

A toothache with swelling, fever or pain that keeps you awake should be seen as soon as possible. Waiting can allow an infection to spread.

How much does an emergency dental visit cost?

The cost depends on the exam, X-rays and the treatment you need. We explain the cost before we start any treatment.

Do you take Medi-Cal for emergencies?

Yes, we accept Medi-Cal Dental. Bring your Medi-Cal card and a photo ID.

What should I do if my child knocks out a tooth?

Baby teeth should not be put back in the socket. Keep the tooth, control bleeding with gentle pressure and call us. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, follow the steps above and come in right away.

Reedley Family Dental removes teeth that cannot be saved, including simple extractions, surgical extractions and impacted wisdom teeth. We perform extractions in our office on W Manning Ave in Reedley, CA, using local anesthetic and digital X-rays or 3D imaging to plan each case.

Saving a natural tooth is always our first choice. When a tooth is too damaged, infected or crowded to keep, a careful extraction protects your health and prepares the area for a replacement tooth if you want one.

Tooth Extractions at a Glance

Types: simple extractions, surgical extractions, impacted wisdom teeth and multiple extractions
Anesthesia: local anesthetic to numb the area
Imaging: digital X-rays, panoramic X-rays and CBCT 3D imaging when needed
Emergencies: same-day visits and walk-ins Monday–Friday
Replacement options: implants, bridges or dentures

Why a Tooth May Need to Be Removed

Severe decay that cannot be repaired with a filling, crown or root canal
A cracked tooth that extends below the gum line
Advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth
An infection that does not respond to other treatment
Impacted or problem wisdom teeth
Crowding before orthodontic treatment such as braces
Preparing the mouth for dentures or full-arch implants

Simple vs. Surgical Extractions

A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully visible above the gums. After numbing the area, the dentist loosens the tooth and removes it.

A surgical extraction is used when a tooth is broken at the gum line, has curved roots or has not fully come in. A small opening in the gum allows the tooth to be removed, sometimes in sections. Most surgical extractions, including many wisdom teeth removals, are done in our office.

What to Expect During an Extraction

1. Exam and X-rays

We check the tooth, the roots and the surrounding bone, and review your health history and medications.

2. Numbing

Local anesthetic numbs the tooth and gums so you feel pressure but not sharp pain. Read our instructions before anesthesia.

3. Removal

The tooth is removed gently. If needed, we place stitches and gauze to control bleeding.

4. Protecting the socket

When you plan to replace the tooth with an implant, bone grafting may be recommended to preserve the jawbone. Alveoplasty can smooth the bone before dentures.

Recovery After a Tooth Extraction

Bite on gauze for 30–45 minutes to help a blood clot form
Do not rinse, spit or use a straw for the first 24 hours
Use a cold compress for swelling during the first day
Eat soft foods and chew on the other side
Avoid smoking, which raises the risk of dry socket

See our detailed guides for after wisdom tooth removal, after an impacted tooth and multiple tooth extractions.

Replacing an Extracted Tooth

Leaving a gap can let nearby teeth shift and the jawbone shrink. Options include a dental implant, a bridge, dentures or full-arch implants when many teeth are missing. We discuss these options before your extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extractions

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

The area is numbed, so you should feel pressure but not sharp pain. Soreness afterward is normal and usually improves within a few days.

How long does it take to heal?

The gums usually close within one to two weeks. The bone underneath takes several months to fully heal.

Can you remove a tooth the same day?

Often, yes. For dental emergencies, walk in Monday through Friday or call (559) 637-0123. Some extractions need planning or a follow-up visit.

What is a surgical extraction?

It is the removal of a tooth that is broken, impacted or hard to reach, using a small opening in the gum. It is still done under local anesthetic.

How much does a tooth extraction cost in Reedley?

Cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical and whether grafting is needed. We explain the cost before treatment.

Do you accept Medi-Cal for extractions?

Yes, we accept Medi-Cal Dental. Learn more about our Medi-Cal dental services.

Do you refer complex cases to an oral surgeon?

If your case is better handled by a specialist, we will explain why and help with the referral.

Full-arch dental implants replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed bridge that is anchored to a small number of implants. Treatments such as All-on-4 use four implants per arch to support a full set of teeth that stays in place and does not come out at night. Reedley Family Dental plans and places full-arch implant restorations at our office on W Manning Ave in Reedley, CA.

If you are missing most of your teeth, have failing teeth, or are tired of a loose denture, a consultation with 3D imaging will show whether full-arch implants are right for you.

Full-Arch Implants at a Glance

Who it is for: adults missing most or all teeth in one or both arches, or with teeth that cannot be saved
Implants per arch: usually four (All-on-4), sometimes more depending on bone
Result: a fixed set of teeth that you brush and clean but do not remove
Planning: exam, CBCT 3D cone beam imaging and a written treatment plan
Cost: depends on the number of arches, extractions, grafting and the final restoration; you receive a written estimate at your consultation

Full-Arch Implants vs. Dentures vs. Single Implants

Conventional dentures rest on the gums. They are the lowest-cost option, but they can move when you eat or talk, and the jawbone under them slowly shrinks over time. Learn more about dentures.

Implant-retained (snap-on) dentures clip onto implants for extra stability but are still removed for cleaning. See implant-retained dentures.

Full-arch fixed implants are attached to the implants and stay in your mouth. They feel and function more like natural teeth and help preserve the jawbone.

Single dental implants replace one or a few missing teeth when the rest of your teeth are healthy.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Full-arch implants may be a good fit if you:

Are missing most of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw
Have several teeth that are badly decayed, broken or loose from gum disease
Wear a denture that slips, rubs or makes eating difficult
Are in good general health and able to have minor oral surgery

Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and some medications can affect healing. We review your health history and imaging before recommending treatment, and we will tell you if another option would serve you better.

The Full-Arch Implant Process

1. Consultation and 3D imaging

We examine your mouth, review your health history and take a CBCT scan to measure the bone and plan implant positions.

2. Treatment plan and estimate

You receive a written plan that explains the steps, the timeline and the cost, so you can decide with all the facts.

3. Extractions and implant placement

Any teeth that cannot be saved are removed and the implants are placed under local anesthetic. Bone grafting or alveoplasty may be needed in some cases.

4. Temporary teeth

In many cases a temporary fixed set of teeth can be attached soon after surgery while the implants heal. We will tell you at your consultation whether this applies to you.

5. Healing

Over the following months, the implants bond with the jawbone. Follow our instructions after dental implant surgery.

6. Final teeth

Once healing is complete, your final full-arch restoration is made and attached, and we check your bite and fit.

Caring for Full-Arch Implants

Brush twice a day and clean under the bridge with a water flosser or special floss
Keep regular check-ups and professional cleanings
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Avoid smoking, which raises the risk of implant problems

Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Arch Dental Implants

What is the difference between All-on-4 and full-arch implants?

All-on-4 is one type of full-arch treatment that uses four implants per arch. Some patients need more than four implants, depending on bone quality and bite. Both approaches support a fixed set of teeth.

Can I get teeth the same day?

In many cases a temporary set of teeth can be attached shortly after implant placement. Whether this is possible depends on your bone and how stable the implants are at surgery.

How long do full-arch implants last?

The implants can last many years with good home care and regular dental visits. The teeth attached to them may need repair or replacement over time, just like any restoration.

Is the procedure painful?

The surgery is done under local anesthetic. Most patients have soreness and swelling for several days afterward, which is usually managed with medication and the care instructions we give you.

Do I need bone grafting?

Not always. Full-arch designs often place implants where bone is strongest to reduce the need for grafting. Your CBCT scan shows whether grafting is needed.

How much do full-arch dental implants cost in Reedley?

Cost depends on whether you treat one or both arches, extractions, grafting and the material of the final teeth. We provide a written estimate after your consultation.

Do you accept insurance or Medi-Cal for implants?

Coverage varies by plan, and many plans cover only part of implant treatment. Call us and our team will review your benefits before treatment begins.
