What we treat

What counts as a dental emergency?

Common urgent problems include a cracked tooth, knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, broken crown, facial swelling, or a tooth that hurts when you bite. In Bucks County, Bristol patients often call from nearby Langhorne, Fairless Hills, Newtown, Holland, or Bensalem when they need fast evaluation.
Urgent signs to watch

Swelling or infectionSwelling in the gums, face, or neck can signal infection and should be checked quickly.
Broken or knocked-out toothA fracture or avulsed tooth needs fast attention, especially if the nerve or root is exposed.
Lost crown or fillingA missing restoration can leave the tooth sensitive, sharp, or vulnerable to further damage.

Same-day emergency slots are kept open daily, so many urgent cases can be assessed quickly. If you call from Bristol, the 6.4 mile drive from Langhorne is usually short enough to make same-day care realistic when space is available.

Intermittent pain can still mean decay, a crack, or nerve irritation. It is worth booking because symptoms often worsen later. An exam can show whether you need a filling, root canal, crown, or another type of urgent treatment.

Yes. Swelling can signal infection and should not be ignored. The dentist can check the source, take imaging if needed, and decide whether you need immediate treatment or a follow-up procedure to protect the tooth and surrounding tissue.

Yes. Oral and IV sedation are available in house. The complimentary sedation consultation includes a CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray, which helps the team plan care and discuss options before treatment begins.

That depends on the exam and imaging. A root canal may be needed if the nerve is infected or inflamed, while a crown is used to protect a weakened tooth after treatment or fracture. The estimate is given after the exam.

Yes. The office is in Langhorne, so Fairless Hills, Newtown, Holland, and Bensalem are all nearby Bucks County drives. That makes it practical for patients who need urgent care without going far from home or work.
