Fix Unexpected Dental Problems With Emergency Care

If you're experiencing a chipped or cracked tooth, lost filling, toothache, uncomfortable or swollen gums, or injury to your mouth, getting immediate care is important. As your emergency dentist in Merrillville, we're extensively experienced in treating patients with immediate oral care issues. We've dealt with just about every dental emergency that can come through our doors.

When you arrive, our objective is to get you out of discomfort. We'll take digital X-rays and images with our intraoral camera. Our advanced technology enables us to make precise medical diagnoses and recommend precisely what's needed to restore your smile.

We offer a wide variety of services to manage your emergency:

  • Tooth Fillings - We can fix cavities, replace lost fillings, or repair work damaged ones with tooth-colored fillings.
  • Root Canals - If you are in pain, root canals can save your tooth and help you avoid an extraction.
  • Dental Crowns - Repair seriously harmed or large cavities with an oral crown. It will blend in naturally with your other teeth.
  • Gum Disease Treatment - If you are dealing with contaminated gum tissue, we can carry out a deep cleansing procedure that restores your gum health.
  • Tooth Extractions - While we would choose to save a tooth rather than remove one, but sometimes, it's the best solution for your smile.

If tooth removal is needed, we'll follow it up by discussing your replacement options. You can even match your new tooth with an implant.

Whatever the solution to your dental issue, you can trust our team to treat you with the utmost empathy and regard. We will keep you comfy by numbing your mouth with an anesthetic. Sedation alternatives are readily available too.

Call 219-641-3422 to reach your Merrillville emergency dentist as soon as possible. We attempt to see you the same day you call, whenever possible. For routine care, you can also schedule online to make an appointment at J Michael Krischke DDS.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!
