Pee Dee Implant Center provides emergency tooth replacement in Florence, South Carolina for patients across the Pee Dee region. A tooth knocked out, fractured below the gumline or acutely infected is a same-day problem, and what happens in the first 24 hours changes what your options look like six months later.
What do I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, never the root. Rinse it in milk or saline, not water and never scrubbed. Reimplant it into the socket if you can and bite gently on gauze. If you cannot, keep it in milk or in your own saliva and get to a practice within 60 minutes. Reimplantation success drops sharply after the first hour and is close to zero after two, because the periodontal ligament cells on the root surface die once they dry out.
Can an implant be placed immediately after an emergency?
Sometimes. Immediate placement into the fresh socket works where the socket walls are intact and there is no active infection, and it saves three to four months. Where the tooth fractured the bone or the site is infected, the socket is debrided and grafted instead, and the implant follows in three to four months. The CBCT taken on the day decides which of those you are getting.
Will I leave with a gap?
No. Where a front tooth is involved, a temporary is fitted the same day: an immediate temporary crown on the implant where stability allows, otherwise a bonded bridge or an interim partial denture. Nobody is sent home with a visible gap in the aesthetic zone. See same-day dental implants for how immediate loading works.
What does emergency tooth replacement cost in Florence, SC?
Emergency assessment and CBCT run $150 to $400. Extraction of a fractured tooth runs $250 to $650, more where it is surgical. An immediate temporary runs $300 to $800. Where an implant goes in the same day the total runs $3,500 to $5,500 including the final crown. Socket grafting adds $300 to $1,200 where immediate placement is not possible.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A tooth knocked out or driven into the socket. A fracture below the gumline. Swelling of the face or jaw, which signals spreading infection and needs treating within hours rather than days. Uncontrolled bleeding after an extraction. A loose or painful existing implant. A chipped enamel edge with no pain is not an emergency and can wait for a normal appointment.
Technician insight
The decision that costs people most is leaving an extraction socket ungrafted because there was no plan for an implant yet. The ridge loses roughly half its width in the first year, so a $600 graft on the day becomes a $4,000 block graft when you decide two years later that you do want the tooth back.
