Dental Trauma in Brisbane | Brisbane Emergency Dentist

What Is Dental Trauma?

Dental trauma refers to any injury to the teeth, gums, jaw, or soft tissues of the mouth. It can result from direct impact, sudden pressure, or accidents such as:

  • Slips and falls.

  • Road or sports injuries.

  • Hard food impacts.

  • Accidents involving the face or jaw.

  • Sudden injury during wrong brushing technique

Trauma can include broken or chipped teeth, loosened crowns, fractured dentures, or injuries to the lips, tongue, and gums. Even minor incidents should be examined by a dentist to prevent infection or permanent damage.

At Brisbane Emergency Dentist, we provide immediate assessments and same-day treatment for all types of dental trauma, helping you recover quickly and safely.

Types of Dental Trauma and What to Do

In the last year, we’ve treated 500+ dental emergencies across Brisbane and helped 300+ patients avoid hospital A&E visits. Our mission is simple: immediate pain relief, lasting solutions.

Broken Tooth

A broken tooth that affects the inner layers can expose the sensitive pulp, leading to pain, sensitivity, and risk of infection. Immediate attention is crucial to prevent bacteria from entering the damaged area. Our dentists assess the extent of the fracture using advanced imaging and provide appropriate treatment, such as bonding, crowns, or root canal therapy if needed. Early intervention not only restores comfort but also helps preserve your natural tooth structure for the long term.

Broken or Lost Filling

A broken or missing filling can leave your tooth vulnerable to decay and discomfort. You may notice sharp edges, sensitivity to hot or cold, or even food getting trapped inside the cavity. Our clinic offers prompt replacement using high-quality composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We clean the area thoroughly, remove any decay, and restore your tooth’s integrity and appearance. Quick action prevents deeper infections and ensures your filling lasts for years.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency that requires urgent care within the first hour for the best chance of saving it. If possible, gently place the tooth back into its socket or store it in milk and head straight to the clinic. Our team will carefully reinsert or replace the tooth and stabilise it to promote healing. Acting fast can make all the difference between saving or losing a tooth, so contact us immediately if this happens.

Broken Dentures

Damaged dentures can cause discomfort, affect speech, and make eating difficult. Whether a tooth has snapped off or the base has cracked, our dentists provide same-day repair or replacement solutions whenever possible. We assess the damage, reinforce weak areas, and ensure a perfect fit for comfort and stability. Regular maintenance and gentle handling can help prevent future breakages, keeping your smile functional and natural-looking.

Prosthodontic Dental Repair

Prosthodontic issues, such as damage to crowns, bridges, or dentures, require professional repair to restore both aesthetics and bite function. Our experienced dental team uses precision techniques to fix, reshape, or remake damaged prosthetics, ensuring they blend naturally with your existing teeth. We prioritise comfort, durability, and appearance, helping you regain full confidence in your smile.

Broken Crown Emergency

A broken crown can expose the underlying tooth and cause sensitivity or discomfort while chewing. This situation can quickly escalate if bacteria reach the inner layers of the tooth. Our emergency dentists assess the damage, remove any loose material, and provide a temporary or permanent crown replacement depending on the condition. We ensure the repaired tooth looks natural and functions properly, preventing further infection or decay.

Traumatic Occlusion

Traumatic occlusion occurs when the bite is misaligned, causing excessive pressure on certain teeth or jaw joints. This can lead to pain, mobility, and long-term wear of your teeth. Our dentists perform a detailed bite analysis and make gentle adjustments to balance your bite. Treatment may involve reshaping teeth, adjusting fillings or crowns, or creating a night guard to protect your teeth from grinding. Correcting your bite helps prevent future damage and promotes jaw comfort.

Endodontic Emergency

An endodontic emergency involves severe pain, swelling, or infection inside the tooth’s pulp. It can arise from untreated decay, trauma, or cracked teeth. Our dentists provide urgent root canal treatment to remove the infection, clean the canal, and seal the tooth to stop bacteria from spreading. Timely care not only relieves pain but also preserves the natural tooth, helping you avoid extractions and further complications.

Dental Veneers Appointment

If your veneers are cracked, chipped, or detached, quick professional repair is essential to restore both appearance and protection. Our dentists can reattach, replace, or polish your veneers to make them look brand new again. We ensure a seamless colour match and a secure bond to maintain durability and comfort. With expert care and gentle handling, your veneers can continue to enhance your smile beautifully and naturally.
