Our Emergency Dentistry Procedures
Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal therapy, our emergency dentist will explore extraction as a treatment option. We use gentle extraction techniques for comfortable procedures and can administer sedation to keep you comfortable. We can then place an implant and implant-supported crown to fully replace your tooth.
Worried About Your Emergency Treatment? Your Comfort Is Our Priority
We understand that some patients have had poor past experiences with dentists and are anxious about dental care. A dental emergency and subsequent appointment may cause feelings of anxiety, but our Amarillo, TX, dentists will do everything they can to make you comfortable. If you need a little help relaxing in our care, we can administer sedation.
Paying for Your Treatment Dental Emergencies Are Often Covered
Most dental emergencies can eventually lead to widespread damage that requires additional treatments to correct, so emergency treatment is often considered medically necessary. Therefore, your dental insurance should contribute to or cover the cost of your care. Our Amarillo, TX, dental office is proud to accept most insurances. We can file your paperwork and help you maximize your benefits.
If you're uninsured or have out-of-pocket expenses, we accept financing through CareCredit®. This third-party lender allows patients who qualify to pay for medical and dental care in affordable monthly installments.
