Emergency Oral Surgery

Dental emergencies require prompt professional attention. Signature Oral Surgery & Implants provides urgent oral surgical care and emergency dental care for patients in Lubbock and the surrounding area who are experiencing severe tooth pain, dental trauma, jaw injuries, or oral infections. Dr. McDonald and our team of oral surgeons work to see emergency patients as quickly as possible to relieve pain and discomfort, and address the underlying dental problem, and protect your oral health.

Dental emergencies can occur at any time, from broken teeth or knocked out teeth to injuries affecting your mouth, sudden swelling, irritated gums, or a persistent toothache. While you’re on your way to our office, a cold compress against the cheek can help relieve swelling and discomfort, and gentle pressure with clean gauze can help manage minor bleeding. If a tooth has been knocked out, keeping it moist and reaching our office as soon as possible gives us the best chance to save it. Immediate treatment is essential for the best outcome, and our team is here to help guide you through what to do until you arrive.

If your recommended procedure or dental problem requires additional treatment beyond initial emergency care, our doctors will walk you through your treatment options and help you plan your recovery, including any follow up appointment reminders.

Whatever the emergency, our practice is here to help patients and their families throughout Lubbock and Hobbs, NM. If you have questions about a dental emergency, feel free to speak with our team, complete our contact forms, or visit us at either office. Your comfort, your smile, and your oral health matter to us.
