Emergency Dentistry in Charlotte
A chipped tooth from a sports collision. A crown that snaps off mid-bite into chips and queso. A toothache that hits out of nowhere. None of these can wait weeks for an opening. Nelsen Dental Excellence keeps same-day slots open during the week so you’re not stuck waiting when it hurts now.
Dr. Jason Nelsen knows what a toothache does to your whole day. It’s hard to work, hard to eat, hard to think about anything else. That’s why Charlotte works to get emergency patients in fast, usually the same day you call. Digital X-rays and other diagnostic tools let us evaluate what’s going on right in the office, so you’re not guessing at how serious it is.
Immediate Care, When You Need It Most
Not everything is an emergency. But some things are, and knowing the difference matters. A toothache that keeps getting worse instead of better can mean an infection or abscess brewing underneath, and that needs treatment fast. Knocked a tooth out playing sports or in a fall? Get to us within the hour. That window makes a real difference in whether the tooth can be saved.
What to Expect During an Urgent Visit
Call us with a dental emergency, and our front desk team gets you assessed and on the schedule fast. They’ll ask about your symptoms and tell you what to do in the meantime, before you even walk through the door. When you arrive, you’ll be brought back quickly, no long wait in the lobby while you’re in pain. From there, Dr. Nelsen examines the issue, takes X-rays if needed, and walks you through what he’s seeing in plain terms. Then you’ll go over your options together. Same-day treatment is available in most cases, and most procedures happen right here, so you’re not being sent somewhere else to wait longer.
