• Toothache: Rinse with warm water, floss gently, call if pain persists.
   
• Cuts/Bleeding: Apply ice and pressure with clean gauze.
   
• Knocked-Out Baby Tooth: Call for an appointment.
   
• Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth: Hold by crown, rinse gently, place back in socket or keep in milk, and call immediately.
   
• Chipped/Broken Tooth: Rinse, apply a cold compress, and bring any tooth fragments to the office.
   

For emergencies, call us at (609) 298-8309. If severe, call 911.

Implant-supported bridges replace multiple missing teeth without relying on natural teeth for support. They look and feel natural while providing strong, stable function. Unlike traditional bridges, they don’t require adjacent teeth to be shaved down, reducing stress and preserving healthy tooth structure.
