When a Filling or Crown Won’t Be Enough
If you’re in East Austin and facing one of these situations, our team can evaluate the problem quickly and explain what surgery would involve before we begin.
Problems That Can Call for Surgery
A dental abscess that needs surgical drainage
An infection spreading past the tooth
How the Process Works
Getting You Seen When It Counts
Quick Assessment
Surgical problems rarely improve on their own. Call early and we’ll work to evaluate you the same day.
After-Hours Openings
If trouble starts once the workday is over, ask about later appointment times.
Saturday and Sunday Slots
Injuries and infections don’t keep office hours, so weekend visits are available for urgent surgical cases.
What Delay Can Cost You
1
Problems Tend to Grow
Infection can spread and injuries can worsen, which often makes the eventual treatment more involved.
2
Pain Needs the Source Removed
Impactions and deep infections hurt until the cause is dealt with. Medication alone rarely solves it.
3
Healthy Structure Is Worth Protecting
Acting sooner helps preserve more of your natural tooth, gum, and jawbone for any rebuilding later.
4
Recovery Tends to Go Smoother
Treating a problem before it becomes severe generally means an easier, quicker healing process.

Emergency Oral Surgery FAQs for East Austin Patients
How will I know if I need surgery instead of a regular extraction?
Teeth that are impacted, broken beneath the gum, or anchored by curved or fused roots usually need a surgical approach. Your exam and X-rays will show which applies to you.
Is Emergency Oral Surgery Painful?
The area is fully numbed before we start, and sedation is available for anxious patients or longer procedures. Any soreness afterward is typically manageable with medication.
How Long Is Recovery After Emergency Oral Surgery?
It depends on the procedure. A simple surgical extraction may settle within about a week, while more involved surgery can take longer. We’ll give you a timeline for your case.
What should I do right after surgery?
Follow the instructions we give you. These usually include biting on gauze to control bleeding, skipping straws and smoking, eating soft foods, and taking prescribed medication as directed.
What does emergency oral surgery cost?
Cost depends on how complex the procedure is and whether sedation is used. See our insurance eligibility and dental financing pages for payment options.
