A lost filling the morning of a big meeting, or a toothache that will not let you concentrate, is hard to ignore and easy to put off. The sooner a tooth is looked at, the more options you usually have, and waiting often makes the problem harder to treat.
Charlotte Dental Arts welcomes same-day emergency dentistry visits from Ballantyne, about 17 minutes from our office at 3135 Springbank Lane. Dr. Edwin Porter, a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, founded the practice in 1996, and Dr. Robert Lowe, a Diplomate of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry, can also see you.

When Ballantyne Patients Should Go to the ER First
What to Do Until You Reach Us From Ballantyne
Call our office and describe what happened, and our team will tell you how soon to come in. Until then, these general steps can help:
What an Urgent Visit Looks Like for Ballantyne Patients
We begin by finding the source of the problem and relieving pain, then stabilize a damaged tooth so it does not get worse.
When possible, we restore the tooth in the same visit, which matters when your day has other plans. With CEREC technology, a broken tooth can sometimes be restored with a crown milled in our office, and you can read more about our same-day crowns and bridges. If your tooth needs a different plan, your dentist explains it before treatment begins, and you can ask about sedation dentistry if dental visits make you anxious.
