A chipped tooth after a fall, a filling that comes loose at dinner, or a toothache that starts on a Sunday does not wait for a convenient day. The sooner it is looked at, the more options you usually have.
Charlotte Dental Arts welcomes same-day emergency dentistry visits from Quail Hollow, about 19 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 Quail Hollow Patients Should Head to the ER First
If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading toward your eye or neck, or bleeding you cannot control, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Those situations come before any dental visit, and we can see you afterward for the tooth.
What to Do Until You Reach Us From Quail Hollow
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 Quail Hollow Patients
We start 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. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care Near Quail Hollow
How quickly can I be seen from Quail Hollow?
We welcome same-day emergency visits. Call us first and our team will tell you how soon to arrive. The office is about 19 minutes from Quail Hollow depending on traffic.
What should I do about a chipped tooth?
Rinse gently with warm water, keep any piece that broke off, and call our office. Even a small chip can leave a sharp edge or an exposed area, so it is worth having it looked at promptly.

Do I need to call before I drive over?
Yes, please call first. That lets our team prepare for you and tell you how soon to come in. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, describe what happened and we will help you decide.
