If you need emergency dentistry in Albuquerque, Legacy Dental has you covered. Our friendly and professional team is here to give you the care you need.
Book NowWhen you think of a medical emergency, the dentist probably doesnβt come to mind. But problems with your teeth can be excruciating and debilitating. They need immediate attention. Albuquerqueβs Legacy Dental Procedures helps with toothaches, performs emergency root canals and fixes cracked or missing teeth on short notice. If you have no insurance, our team offers financing options to help you cover your dental emergency.
Your comfort and well-being are important to us. We provide tailored care designed to meet your unique needs. Our dentists never pressure you into treatments you donβt need, so you only get the services you want. No matter what brings you to our practice, we never judge, scold, or guilt our patients. Your smile is the reason for everything we do, and we want to help you achieve your best smile yet!
Our expert dentists, Dr. Stewart Anderson and Dr. Derek Lines, are here to help you when you need us the most. We treat a variety of dental conditions, including:
Accidents happen, but you should never ignore a broken, chipped, or cracked tooth. Call to set up your appointment as soon as possible. Our emergency dentist is not on call 24/7, so we may not be able to see you immediately. See our office hours at the bottom of our page.
After your injury, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress on your face to relieve pain and swelling. Because Legacy Dental may be able to reattach any broken or chipped pieces during your appointment, simply bring the tooth to your appointment in a wet towel. Avoiding immediate dental care can result in emergency root canals later.
From Isotopes baseball to Lobos football, Albuquerque residents love sports. But sometimes, a good game results in a bad injury. Sports injuries and other accidents can cause your teeth to become loose or even to fall out (be avulsed). Legacy Dental can help with emergencies involving loose or knocked-out teeth.
When you lose a tooth, try to gently insert it back into place. If thatβs not possible, rinse the tooth under a faucet. Do not scrub, as that may cause root damage. If teeth are preserved correctly, our emergency dentists may be able to reinsert them.
Toothaches may seem harmless, but they may be signs of a serious problem. Prolonged aches and pain can lead to or exacerbate tooth decay. Call Legacy Dental as soon as you feel discomfort or pain.
