A cracked tooth at dinner. A sudden throbbing that wakes you at 2 a.m. A knocked-out tooth at your child’s soccer game. Dental emergencies arrive without warning, and when they do, every minute counts. The difference between keeping a tooth and losing one can come down to how quickly you receive proper care from a dentist who knows exactly what to do.
At Sopris Smiles, our team is equipped to handle urgent dental situations with the precision and calm that patients need most. Serving the Sheridan, CO community and the surrounding Denver metro area, we deliver dental care in Sheridan with the same advanced technology and compassionate approach that defines everything we do. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar, DMD, brings over 1,000 hours of continuing education to every patient encounter and leads a practice grounded in treating the whole person, not just the problem at hand.
Understanding what qualifies as a dental emergency helps you act faster when it matters most. Not every toothache requires an urgent visit, but certain situations demand immediate attention to protect your oral health and prevent complications from escalating.
Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat include severe or sudden tooth pain, a knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, dental abscesses or swelling in the jaw or gums, and soft tissue injuries to the mouth. These situations should never be left to wait. According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, tooth disorders account for nearly 2 million emergency department visits each year, a reminder of just how disruptive and widespread dental emergencies can be. Seeing a dentist as soon as possible, rather than a hospital emergency room, leads to faster, more targeted treatment.
If you have a knocked-out tooth, handle it only by the crown, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and place it back in the socket or store it in milk while you make your way to our office. Time is critical. The sooner you arrive, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
Our Sheridan-area patients benefit from a practice that invests in the kind of technology that makes emergency treatment faster, more precise, and far more comfortable. We use Solea CO2 laser technology, which allows us to treat many soft tissue concerns with minimal discomfort and no traditional anesthesia needles in many cases.
For patients who have experienced damage to a tooth, our CEREC same-day crown technology allows us to design, mill, and place a permanent crown in a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporary restorations and multiple visits.
After the immediate crisis is resolved, many patients require follow-up restorative care to fully rebuild their smile and protect their oral health. Our restorative dentistry services in Sheridan cover a full range of treatments, from fillings and crowns to dental bridges and implants. We take a comprehensive view of your needs and create a treatment plan that addresses both the urgent concern and any underlying issues that contributed to it. Our CBCT 3D imaging and digital scanning technology give us a thorough view of your oral health, so nothing is missed.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
When you are in pain or facing a dental crisis, you need a provider who will take your situation seriously, treat you with urgency, and deliver care you can trust. Dr. Samimifar is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Colorado Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. Her practice philosophy centers on holistic care, meaning we consider your overall health and wellbeing alongside your dental needs, never just the tooth in front of us.
Our patients choose us because we offer more than reactive care. We pair our emergency dental procedures with a thoughtful, personalized approach that reduces anxiety and puts you in control of your treatment decisions. We explain every step clearly, use the most advanced tools available, and work efficiently so you can get back to your life as quickly as possible. From your first call to your final follow-up appointment, you are treated like a person, not a problem to be solved.
