In that case, our prosthodontist has exceptional diagnostic and surgical skills, an empathetic chairside manner, and sophisticated technology to alleviate your pain and make you smile again comfortably!

Medical vs. Dental
Emergency Care
Specific situations should be treated with emergency medical interventions versus emergency dental care. For example, a concussion, facial laceration, neck/head pain, severe trauma, uncontrollable bleeding, or dizziness all require immediate emergency medical attention and a call to 911. On the other hand, if the injury is limited to your teeth and gums, the best option is to treat it promptly at our practice. Time constraints and a lack of dental knowledge and expertise often hamper accurate diagnosis and treatment of dental emergencies in hospital emergency departments.
Treatment Starts with an Accurate Diagnosis
Proper diagnosis is the first step in treating a dental emergency in Washington, DC. Our prosthodontist will review your medical and dental history and take digital X-rays to pinpoint the source of your pain, then decide on the most effective urgent dental care to resolve any of the following issues.
Comfortable, Prompt, State-of-the-Art Emergency Dentistry
If you experience any dental emergency, we offer same- or next-day appointments at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry. Typically, we can fabricate temporary custom dental restorations that look natural and seamlessly match your appearance within one to two days. Our on-site dental lab eliminates waiting several weeks for dental crowns that may have to be restored, retooled and retried several times before a comfortable and attractive fit is achieved. Permanent crowns fabricated on-site fit perfectly before you leave our office and can last over 35 years versus the customary five to 10!
