About Urgent Dental Care
Urgent dental care covers situations where a tooth is causing significant pain, infection, or structural damage that needs prompt attention rather than waiting for a routine appointment. At Cornerbrook Smiles Dental, our two most common urgent treatments are root canal treatment, which saves an infected tooth from extraction, and wisdom tooth extraction, which resolves pain and prevents future complications from impacted teeth. Both are handled in house by our experienced team, with sedation available for patients who feel anxious.
Our Urgent Care Treatments
Root Canal Treatment
When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal removes the damaged tissue, cleans the canal, and seals the tooth to stop the infection from spreading. This treatment relieves pain rather than causing it, and it allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of losing it to extraction.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth often come in misaligned, impacted, or too crowded for the jaw to accommodate. This can lead to pain, infection, and damage to nearby teeth. We evaluate your wisdom teeth with digital X-rays and remove them safely, with sedation options available for a comfortable experience.
Signs You Need Urgent Dental Care
- Sharp or throbbing tooth pain that will not go away
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed
- Swelling around a tooth or in the jaw
- Pain, pressure, or swelling near the back molars
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- A tooth that has darkened or feels loose
If any of this sounds familiar, do not wait for it to get worse. Call us and we will assess you promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a root canal or a tooth extraction?
Your dentist will examine the tooth and take X-rays to determine if the tooth can be saved with root canal treatment or if extraction is the better option. We will always try to preserve your natural tooth when possible.
Is a root canal painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients feel relief from their original pain right after treatment.
How much does a root canal cost in Calgary?
Cost varies based on the complexity of your case. We provide a full assessment and transparent estimate before any work begins, with direct insurance billing available.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Some wisdom teeth grow in properly and cause no issues. We only recommend removal when there is pain, impaction, infection risk, or crowding.
Can I get a same day emergency dentist appointment near me?
Yes. We offer same day appointments for urgent cases whenever possible. Call us and we will prioritize your visit.
