If a loose tooth remains in your mouth, don’t touch it or try to remove it. There’s a chance it can be saved once you visit our office. If your tooth falls out, make sure to bring it with you when you come in for treatment.
In case you’re unsure how to handle a missing tooth:
When it comes to a dental emergency, the cost can always be a worry for many patients. Here at Precision Dentistry & Implants, we offer in-house financing options to help you receive the care you need.
We work with third-party financial companies like CareCredit and Lending Club. Once approved, they will cover partial, or sometimes full, costs of your dental treatment. During your visit, you can discuss these options further with our financing team.
If an infection such as decay or gum disease goes untreated for an extended period of time, the damage may be too extensive to repair the tooth and extraction could become your only option.
Reasons you may require a tooth extraction include:
If you notice your filling or dental crown has become loose or broken off, give us a call to get it repaired right away. We can restore and save your tooth by giving you a new filling or crown. However, it’s important to know that you shouldn’t wait long to come in for emergency care because we may not be able to preserve your tooth after a certain period of time.
We know the pain caused by an infected root canal can be hard to tolerate. At our Kerrville dental office, it doesn’t have to be with our emergency root canal therapy. Once you come in, we’ll immediately remove the infection from your pulp and fully restore your tooth with a dental crown. You’ll be able to leave our office with a healthy tooth and no more pain.
Throughout your orthodontic treatment, there’s oftentimes a chance something can happen. If this is the case, we offer emergency orthodontic care to help repair any broken brackets or wires.
Dental emergencies are generally dental issues that require immediate attention. Emergencies can be life-threatening and lead to lasting changes in your oral structure.
Dental emergencies as defined by the ADA include:
Urgent dental care is a step below a dental emergency, requiring immediate attention to relieve pain and the risk of infection. Urgent dental situations include a knocked-out tooth, severe dental pain, tooth fractures, and similar situations.
To reach us for an emergency dental appointment, call (830) 896-8343. We’ll assess your emergency situation over the phone and schedule an appointment for you with Dr. Huff to get your emergency taken care of.
Dr. Huff does his very best to ensure all his patients are safe and the correct steps are taken during an emergency. He’ll make sure you’re comfortable during treatment and that your emergency is fixed to the best of his ability.
Most people can get back to their daily lives a few days after the extraction. Simple extractions don’t take very long to recover from and you’ll be able to resume your normal physical activity 48 to 72 hours after the procedure.
More complex extractions may require more time. The most important thing for you to do is to follow your post-operative instructions from Dr. Huff. These instructions help your mouth to heal as quickly as possible without complications.
No, tooth extractions aren’t painful when they’re done properly. During the procedure, you’ll be given a strong local anesthetic so you won’t feel any pain. You may feel a little pressure, but Dr. Huff will make sure you’re as comfortable as possible during your extraction.
You may feel some pain and discomfort in the days after your extraction as your mouth heals, but this is normal. Dr. Huff may prescribe pain relievers and give you instructions on taking care of your oral health after the procedure.

One of the best dental experience I have ever had. I loved my dentist in Austin, so when I moved, I was very nervous – but no longer. They really make going to the dentist feel like self care, as it should feel
