What our Patient Think About Us?
Emergency Dentist in Burnaby
Severe tooth pain, swelling, or a sudden injury can happen without warning. When it does, you need fast, reliable help. At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, our emergency team provides urgent dental care with timely pain management and same-day stabilization when clinically appropriate.
Our priority is to diagnose the issue quickly and keep you comfortable. Using digital X-rays, intraoral scanning, and modern imaging, we identify the cause of your symptoms and outline clear next steps. Whether it’s a broken tooth, infection, or trauma, our clinic is here to support you with calm, compassionate care.
If your emergency involves a knocked-out tooth or severe fracture, you may require follow-up restorative treatment such as a dental crown to protect the tooth once stabilized.
What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue involving acute pain, trauma, bleeding, swelling, or infection that requires immediate attention. Prompt care not only relieves discomfort but also helps preserve your teeth and prevent serious complications.
Understanding what’s truly urgent can help you act quickly when it matters most.

If you’re unsure, it’s always safer to Call our Burnaby clinic. We’ll help assess the urgency and guide your next steps.
Common Signs You Need Immediate Dental Care
You should contact an emergency dentist right away if you experience:
Throbbing or severe tooth pain
Swelling in your cheek, jaw, or under your eye
Loose or missing fillings/crowns with exposed nerves
Bleeding gums or mouth injuries
Fever with facial swelling, which could indicate a spreading infection
Sensitivity to hot or cold that worsens over time
These symptoms can escalate quickly and often signal underlying issues like infection, fracture, or nerve involvement.
These symptoms can escalate quickly and often signal underlying issues like infection, fracture, or nerve involvement.
When to Go to the Dentist vs. the Hospital
Most dental emergencies are best handled by a dentist, not the ER. However, go to the hospital or call 911 immediately if:
- You have facial trauma with heavy bleeding
- There’s difficulty breathing or swallowing
- You suspect a broken jaw
- Facial swelling is accompanied by high fever or confusion
For everything else, including broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, infections, abscesses, or dental pain, our Burnaby emergency dental team can provide same-day assessment and stabilization when availability and clinical needs allow.
If you are ever unsure or symptoms worsen rapidly, seek emergency medical care immediately.

What to Expect During an Emergency Dental Visit
At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, every emergency appointment is focused on fast diagnosis, immediate comfort, and a clear plan for what comes next.
Emergency Exam and Digital X-Ray
A focused exam and digital X-rays identify the source of pain—,such as decay, infection, or trauma.
Immediate Pain Relief and Stabilization
We provide fast relief by smoothing sharp edges, draining infection, prescribing medication, or placing a temporary restoration.
Same-Day or Follow-Up Treatment Options
We stabilize the tooth when possible and outline next steps, including treatments like root canal treatment in Burnaby if needed.
Types of Emergency Dental Treatments We Provide
When you’re in pain, you need timely care and clear answers. Our emergency services provide urgent dental assessment and treatment in Burnaby, with a focus on comfort and long-term oral health.
Emergency Fillings for Cavities and Fractures
When decay or a broken tooth exposes the sensitive inner layers, an emergency filling can restore structure and relieve pain quickly.
We remove the damaged tissue, clean the area, and place a temporary or permanent filling, depending on your specific needs. This protects the tooth, restores basic function, and prevents the issue from worsening.
In many cases, emergency fillings are temporary measures to stabilize the tooth until a follow-up visit is scheduled for a long-term solution like a crown or full restoration.
Root Canal Therapy to Stop Infections
Severe, throbbing pain or facial swelling often indicates an infected nerve. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals the tooth to stop the infection from spreading. This procedure is intended to relieve pressure and address infection and helps save the natural tooth. A follow-up crown may be recommended for long-term protection and strength.
Crown and Veneer Repairs
A cracked crown, loose veneer, or broken restoration can cause sharp discomfort and expose the tooth underneath. We smooth rough edges, re-cement or temporarily repair the restoration, and assess whether replacement is necessary. Using digital imaging, we ensure a secure fit and plan next steps within your comprehensive restorative dental services.
Tooth Extractions and Post-Extraction Care
When a tooth is too damaged to save, tooth extractions in Burnaby provide immediate relief from severe pain, infection, or trauma. We perform extractions gently under local anesthesia, give clear aftercare instructions, and discuss options for replacement—such as bridges or implants. Prompt removal prevents complications and supports healthy healing.
Pain Management and Sedation Dentistry
Emergency care begins with controlling discomfort. Depending on your needs, we offer local anesthesia, medications, and gentle techniques to help manage discomfort during treatment. For anxious patients, oral sedation is available to help you stay relaxed throughout treatment. This approach is intended to support a calmer, more comfortable experience while we stabilize the issue and plan any necessary follow-up care.
How to Prevent Future Dental Emergencies
Most dental emergencies can be avoided with consistent preventive care and simple daily habits. At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, we help support your oral health from unexpected pain, fractures, and infections through proactive, personalized guidance.
Schedule Regular Dental Exams and Cleanings
Routine visits allow early detection of cavities, cracks, and gum issues before they become painful emergencies. Regular preventive checkups keep your smile healthy and stable.
Use a Custom Nightguard or Sports Mouthguard
Grinding, clenching, and sports injuries are major causes of dental trauma. A custom-fit guard absorbs impact and protects teeth from fractures.
Avoid Using Teeth as Tools
Opening packages or biting hard objects can chip or break teeth instantly. Treat your teeth gently to prevent accidental damage.
Treat Cavities and Cracks Early
Minor issues worsen quickly and lead to emergencies if ignored. Early care prevents infections, fractures, and sudden severe pain.
