When a dental emergency strikes, there’s no time to wait. At Indian Creek Dental, we understand how stressful dental pain or injury can be — and we’re here to help right away.

As a family-owned and operated practice, we treat every patient like family, with honesty, empathy, and urgency, when you need it most.

Our Marion dental practice is ready to treat common dental emergencies like:

Severe Toothache

A persistent or throbbing toothache is often a sign of infection, decay, or nerve damage that needs immediate attention. Our team will identify the cause, relieve your pain, and provide gentle, customized treatment to restore and protect your tooth.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, time is critical. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of saving your natural tooth. Our doctors act quickly to reimplant and stabilize the tooth whenever possible, or offer permanent replacement options such as dental implants if needed.

Cracked or Broken Tooth

A cracked or fractured tooth can expose sensitive nerves and lead to infection if left untreated. Depending on the severity, we may restore it with a dental filling, crown, or veneer to rebuild strength and appearance. We use state-of-the-art imaging to assess the damage and plan precise, lasting treatment.

Broken or Lost Filling or Crown

When a filling or crown falls out, it leaves your tooth vulnerable to decay or further damage. We can quickly replace or repair your restoration using durable, tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your smile.

Dental Abscess or Infection

An abscess is a serious infection that can cause swelling, pain, fever, or a foul taste in the mouth. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading. Our dentists use gentle root canal therapy or other restorative options to eliminate infection and save the tooth whenever possible.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Cuts, bleeding, or injuries to the lips, tongue, or gums can be painful and alarming. We'll carefully clean and assess the area to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and ensure there's no underlying damage to your teeth or jaw.

Swelling or Jaw Pain

Swelling around the jaw, gums, or face can indicate infection or an impacted tooth. Our team will perform a thorough evaluation and take immediate steps to reduce discomfort and address the cause.
