Dr. Teja may be the best dentist I have ever encountered. He has done extensive dental work for me and I am very pleased with the results. He is kind and caring in the process. There was no pain of any consequence.

Tooth Extractions
Some patients that come in for an emergency visit due to tooth pain require an extraction. If a tooth has become so damaged that it can no longer support a restoration, the only option dentists have left is tooth extraction. If we have to extract a tooth, we offer treatment options to replace missing teeth, including dental implants, dental bridges and dentures.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin
Dr. Teja is the only dentist in the area that provides a service called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This treatment involves taking a blood sample from the patient. The blood is then put in a centrifuge machine to obtain a sample with a high concentration of platelets. The platelets can be used after the tooth extraction procedure to expedite healing, reduce the risk of infection, and preserve and regenerate the jawbone.
Additional Services
Root Canal Therapy
When patients come in for an emergency visit due to severe tooth pain, a root canal infection is often the cause. In some cases, the tooth can be preserved with root canal therapy and placement of a dental crown. Our dentist can refer patients to a specialist for the procedure, and then patients can return to our practice to have a crown placed.
Dental Crowns
Patients who have a broken tooth or damaged restoration often need a dental crown. At our San Angelo, TX, practice, we can complete this treatment in a day. Immediately after your emergency visit, you can expect restored dental comfort, function, health, and appearance with your new crown.
Dental Fillings, Inlays, & Onlays
Many people experience a dental emergency due to a cavity or a cracked filling. Both of these conditions can result in considerable pain. During your appointment at our practice, Dr. Teja can place a tooth-colored dental filling. Or, if a filling would be insufficient, he can provide inlays and onlays. These special restorations replace larger amounts of tissue and are designed to fit your tooth like a puzzle piece.
Periodontal Care
Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums are a clear sign of gingivitis and gum disease, and should be considered a dental emergency. If left untreated, the infection can cause serious damage to the gums and jawbone, eventually resulting in tooth loss. Dr. Teja can perform a professional cleaning, prescribe antibiotics if needed, and educate patients on proper oral care to prevent periodontal disease.
Why Should You Schedule an Emergency
Visit with a Dentist?
Relieve Pain
Seeking dental care can provide you with immediate pain relief. Rather than relying on over-the-counter oral pain medications or just "toughing it out," visit a dentist to get real relief from dental pain.
Preserve Your Oral Health
Ignoring dental problems won't cause them to go away. In fact, they are more likely to get worse. For example, delaying a root canal will eventually result in tooth loss and other serious issues. Meanwhile, a knocked-out tooth can often be saved with prompt attention for a dentist. Don't hesitate - get in touch with us as soon as possible!
Reduce Long-Term Dental Costs
The cost of a dental filling is far less than endodontic therapy and placement of a dental crown. The cost of tooth extraction and replacement is also higher than more conservative options. By seeking care now, you can save money in the long run.

I was so nervous to get a shot and have my cavities filled but Dr. Teja and his team did an amazing job. I didn’t feel the shot or any of the things they were doing during the procedure. If I had to do it again I would with them!
