What to Expect at Your Visit

Immediate Evaluation & Stabilization

We’ll assess the tooth, surrounding tissue, and other areas for trauma.

Reimplantation or Replacement Plan

If the tooth is viable, we’ll reinsert and stabilize it. If not, we’ll discuss next steps, including emergency extractions or restorations.

Follow-Up & Monitoring

We’ll track healing and, if needed, refer you for root canal therapy or future implant placement — all coordinated through our office.
