Dr. Patel was very fast and efficient. Lawrence was helpful and considerate of my comfort level. The entire team made sure I was aware of any potential issues and gave excellent feedback. I think the atmosphere in this place was amazing from the time I entered until I left. Great reception staff and all around great experience. I really felt like I was heard and cared for . Definitely will return for all other dental needs.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.

My son and I both went here for a routine exam and cleaning. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The office was very clean,open and practical. The front desk was very nice and knowledgeable in explaining some of my general insurance questions. Dr. Patel was also very nice and very thorough when explaining what she was doing and our treatment plans at the end. I could not have been happier with the service. The rest of my family will now go here too.

In a world where it takes forever to get any kind of medical appointment, I needed a reliable dentist- *quickly* - following serious trauma to my front tooth. Dr. Patel was beyond helpful and efficient in providing me the appropriate care that I needed as well as eased my nerves throughout the process. Our family has been looking for a new dentist for a while now and there is no doubt we will be continuing our dental care at this practice! Not to mention, her office space is beautiful, warm, and welcoming!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Patel. She is so warm, personable, and thorough in her explanations of every step. It's clear that she's trying to do the best thing for you and what you're most comfortable, instead of racking up your bill (a problem I had with the last dentist I tried). Her office is lovely and modern, her staff all incredibly kind, and the scheduling and online portal tools are incredibly convenient. I am definitely a patient for life after my first visit today.

Dr Patel was amazing! Her office is so bright and fresh and clean and her patient care is the best I’ve ever experienced. I will never go to another dentist here in the Charlotte area.

As a new patient, I felt well taken care of from beginning to end. Dr. Patel, Glenn and Melissa were all so caring and exemplified the true meaning of professional patient care. I will definitely be returning and referring family and friends to the Highland Creek Modern Dentistry practice.

Don't Suffer in Pain – Get Emergency Care Now

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

  • A knocked-out or broken tooth
  • Severe toothache
  • Broken or cracked dentures
  • Lost filling or crown
  • Abscess or swelling in the gums or jaw
  • Severe bleeding in the mouth
  • Injury to the mouth, teeth, or gums

How are Dental Emergencies Treated?

At Highland Creek Modern Dentistry, we understand the urgency of dental emergencies, and we strive to provide prompt and efficient dental care to our patients. Our emergency dental services include:

  • Examination and diagnosis: Our dentist will examine your mouth and diagnose the dental emergency. She will use the latest technology and techniques to determine the extent of the damage and the best course of treatment.
  • Pain relief: Dental emergencies can cause severe pain and discomfort. Our dentist will provide pain relief medication to alleviate the pain and make you comfortable.
  • Tooth restoration: If your tooth is knocked out or broken, our dentist will try to save it by reattaching it or repairing it. We use the latest techniques and materials to restore the tooth's function and appearance.
  • Dental fillings and crowns: If you have a lost filling or crown, our dentist will restore your tooth's function and appearance by placing a new filling or crown.
  • Root canal therapy: If you have an abscess or infection in your tooth, our dentist will perform a root canal therapy to remove the infection and save the tooth.
  • Denture repair: If your denture is broken or cracked, our dentist will repair it to fit properly and function well.

How to Avoid Dental Emergencies

Prevention is the best way to avoid dental emergencies and injuries. Here are some tips to help you maintain good oral health and prevent dental emergencies:

  • Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque and bacteria from your mouth. This will help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which can lead to dental emergencies.
  • Wear protective gear: If you participate in sports or recreational activities, wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from injury.
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects: Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candy, which can cause your teeth to crack or break.
  • Visit your dentist regularly: Visit your dentist at least twice a year for routine checkups and cleanings. Your dentist can detect and treat early signs of dental problems before they become dental emergencies.

See the Dentist ASAP

Receiving prompt and efficient dental care for a dental emergency has several positive impacts on the patient, including:

  • Pain relief: Dental emergencies can cause severe pain and discomfort. Urgent dental care provides immediate pain relief, making the patient comfortable.
  • Preservation of teeth: Prompt dental care can save a tooth that has been knocked out or broken, preventing the need for tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
  • Preventing further damage: Urgent dental care can prevent further damage to the mouth, teeth, and surrounding tissues. If left untreated, dental emergencies can cause serious complications, leading to further damage, pain, and discomfort. Prompt treatment can prevent these complications and promote faster healing.
  • Saving time and money: Receiving urgent dental care can save time and money in the long run. Delaying treatment can lead to more complicated and costly dental procedures. Timely treatment can prevent the need for expensive and time-consuming dental treatments.
  • Boosting self-confidence: Dental emergencies can cause embarrassment and self-consciousness. Prompt treatment can restore the appearance and function of the teeth, boosting the patient's self-confidence and self-esteem.
