Dental emergencies never happen at convenient times, often occurring during evenings, weekends, or holidays when you least expect them. Severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, or sudden dental trauma can cause significant discomfort and anxiety, requiring immediate attention to prevent long-term complications and preserve your oral health.
At Sopris Smiles in Cherry Hills Village, Dr. Golnaz Samimifar provides prompt emergency dental care using advanced technology and compassionate treatment approaches. With over 1,000 hours of continuing education and state-of-the-art equipment including Solea laser technology for anesthetic-free procedures, we offer comfortable, effective solutions for urgent dental situations.
Dental emergencies come in many forms, each requiring specific care to address immediate pain and prevent further damage. Severe toothaches often indicate underlying issues like deep decay or infection, potentially leading to abscess formation if left untreated. An abscessed tooth occurs when bacteria enters the pulp through decay, periodontal disease, or a cracked tooth, causing infection and pus buildup.
Dental trauma from sports injuries, falls, or accidents can result in knocked-out, chipped, or fractured teeth. The American Dental Association recommends keeping a knocked-out tooth moist and, if possible, placing it back into the socket without touching the root. If this isn’t possible, store the tooth between your cheek and gums while seeking immediate care.
Our advanced technology allows us to handle many emergency procedures with minimal discomfort. The Solea laser system enables us to perform certain procedures without local anesthetic, particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety or those seeking comfortable treatment during stressful emergency situations.
Lost fillings or crowns expose sensitive tooth structure to temperature changes and bacterial invasion, causing significant pain and increasing infection risk. These situations require prompt attention to prevent further damage to the underlying tooth structure.
We utilize CEREC same-day crown technology for many emergency restorations, allowing us to design, create, and place permanent restorations in a single appointment. This eliminates the need for temporary solutions and multiple visits during an already stressful situation.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
Each emergency situation requires careful evaluation and appropriate treatment to address immediate concerns while planning for long-term success. For severely damaged or infected teeth, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth instead of removing it. Root canals are used to repair and preserve teeth with serious infections or extensive damage.
Our comprehensive emergency examinations include digital imaging and thorough assessment of the affected area. We evaluate not just the immediate problem but also surrounding structures to ensure we address all related issues. This approach prevents complications and provides the most effective treatment for your specific situation.
For patients experiencing dental anxiety during emergency situations, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and moderate sedation. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask to help you relax during treatment.

Many emergency situations benefit from immediate treatment rather than temporary solutions. Our CEREC technology enables us to provide permanent restorations during emergency visits, eliminating the need for multiple appointments when you’re already dealing with pain and inconvenience.
The following emergency situations often require immediate attention to prevent complications:
Quick action in these situations often means the difference between saving and losing a tooth, making prompt professional care essential.
Understanding when dental problems require emergency attention helps you make appropriate decisions about your care. Severe, persistent tooth pain, especially when accompanied by facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing, indicates a serious condition requiring immediate treatment.
Any trauma resulting in loose, displaced, or knocked-out teeth constitutes an emergency. Time is critical in these situations, as prompt treatment significantly improves the chances of successfully saving damaged teeth. Similarly, significant bleeding from the mouth or injuries to the lips, tongue, or jaw require immediate professional attention.
Our comprehensive approach to emergency care considers your entire oral health picture, not just the immediate problem. We evaluate how emergency situations may impact your overall dental health and develop treatment plans address both urgent needs and long-term stability.
