A broken, knocked-out, or non-restorable tooth is stressful -it affects how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile, often with no warning. The good news: if you’re in Arlington or Mansfield, you don’t have to wait weeks to fix it. In many cases, a missing tooth can be replaced the same day with a dental implant.
Here’s what to do right now, and what your replacement options look like.
What Counts as a Tooth Replacement Emergency?
You should seek prompt care if you have:
- A tooth knocked out completely from injury or trauma
- A tooth broken or cracked below the gumline
- A severely decayed or infected tooth that can’t be saved
- A failed crown, bridge, or old implant
- A tooth so loose it can’t function
Leaving a gap untreated isn’t just cosmetic. Neighboring teeth can shift, the opposing tooth can over-erupt, and the jawbone in that area begins to shrink within months. Acting quickly protects your remaining teeth and keeps more treatment options open.
What to Do Right Now
If a tooth is knocked out:
- Pick it up by the crown (the white part) -never the root.
- If it’s dirty, rinse gently with water; don’t scrub.
- Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk or saliva.
- Call us immediately -time matters.
If a tooth is broken or painful:
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek to reduce swelling.
- Avoid chewing on that side.
- Call to be seen as soon as possible.
In every case, the fastest path to the right outcome is a prompt evaluation.
Same-Day Tooth Replacement With Dental Implants
When a tooth is missing or can’t be saved, a dental implant is the closest thing to a natural replacement -it replaces the root and the visible tooth, and it helps prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
Thanks to our in-house, state-of-the-art lab and 3D digital workflow, Dr. Rushabh Doshi is often able to place an implant and replace a non-restorable single tooth on the same day. That means you can walk out without a visible gap, rather than waiting weeks between appointments.
Whether same-day placement is right for you depends on the condition of the tooth, the surrounding bone, and any infection present -which is exactly what an emergency evaluation determines.
Your Emergency Tooth Replacement Options
| Situation | Common Solution |
| Single non-restorable or broken tooth | Same-day single dental implant |
| Tooth needs removal first | Extraction + implant (often same visit) |
| Multiple failing teeth | Full-arch options like All-on-X |
| Need an immediate temporary | Temporary tooth while the implant heals |
The right option is matched to your specific situation at your visit -there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for an emergency.

A single dental implant at SmileOn starts at $2,699, which includes the consultation, 3D CT scan, implant, abutment, and a custom zirconia crown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a tooth be replaced the same day? Yes. Thanks to our in-house lab and 3D digital workflow, a non-restorable single tooth can often be replaced with a dental implant on the same day, depending on the condition of the tooth and bone.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out? Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or saliva. Then call a dentist immediately -time is critical.
Is a missing tooth a dental emergency? A knocked-out tooth, a tooth broken below the gumline, or a painful infected tooth should be treated promptly. Even a stable gap should be evaluated soon, since neighboring teeth shift and jawbone shrinks over time.
How much does emergency tooth replacement cost? A single dental implant starts at $2,699, including the consultation, 3D scan, implant, abutment, and crown. Final cost depends on whether an extraction or bone graft is required.
Can I get an implant if my tooth needs to be removed first? Often, yes. In many cases the extraction and implant placement can be completed in the same visit. An evaluation confirms whether immediate placement is right for you.
