Tooth Pain or Swelling
Call for severe or worsening tooth pain, gum or facial swelling, a bad taste, drainage, fever with dental symptoms or pain when biting. A dentist must identify the cause before recommending treatment.
Dental needs do not always fit a weekday schedule. Star Dental is open seven days a week, including Saturday and Sunday, for urgent concerns, new patients and planned dental care. Hours, appointment openings and the treatment available can vary, so call 303-222-1414 before traveling. Walk-ins are available, but calling first helps the team prepare for your concern.
Star Dental operates seven days a week, but an online phrase such as “dentist open today” or “dentist open now” does not confirm that a clinician or treatment slot is available at this moment. Office hours can change for holidays, weather or operational needs, and the time required depends on the dental problem.
A weekend examination can identify the problem and the safest next step. The care that can be completed depends on the diagnosis, medical history, time available and whether referral is appropriate.
Call for severe or worsening tooth pain, gum or facial swelling, a bad taste, drainage, fever with dental symptoms or pain when biting. A dentist must identify the cause before recommending treatment.
A weekend evaluation can assess a chipped or fractured tooth or a lost restoration. The dentist may protect the tooth, restore it, recommend root canal care or discuss extraction depending on the damage.
Call immediately for a knocked-out, loosened or displaced tooth or an injury to the mouth. Timing matters, especially for a permanent tooth. Serious head, jaw or facial trauma belongs in an emergency department.
Increasing pain, continued bleeding, fever, severe swelling or a foul taste after treatment should be discussed with the treating office. If that office cannot be reached, tell Star Dental what procedure was performed and when.
Weekend appointments can help families establish care without missing work or school. The first visit may include an examination, clinically indicated X-rays and a treatment plan; cleaning or treatment depends on need and available time.
Star Dental can evaluate a broken, loose or painful denture and discuss repair, reline or replacement. Completion time depends on the appliance and required work; no same-day denture or repair completion is guaranteed.
When you call, explain where the problem is, when it began and whether symptoms are stable or getting worse. Mention swelling, fever, drainage, trauma, severe pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, continued bleeding or a recent dental procedure.
That information helps the team estimate how much evaluation time may be needed and whether Star Dental is the appropriate setting. After the examination and any necessary X-rays, the dentist will explain what can be completed that day and what follow-up care may be helpful.
Most toothaches, lost fillings, localized swelling and broken teeth are best evaluated by a dentist. Call 911 or go to an emergency department for:
