Emergency Tooth Extraction Urgent
Emergency Tooth Extraction Urgent is a specialized dental service provided by the board-certified specialists at Aloha Dental Specialty Center in Beaverton, OR. Dental Sports Injury? Call (503) 822-0096 for Immediate Treatment Office hours: Monday through Friday 7 AM to 7 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8 AM to 2 PM.
Game Day Injuries Need Same-Day Treatment — We Are Ready
An elbow to the mouth during a basketball game, a hockey puck to the face, a collision on the soccer field, a handlebar impact during mountain biking — sports-related dental injuries are sudden, dramatic, and often involve multiple structures: teeth, bone, gums, and lips. At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, we treat the full spectrum of athletic dental trauma: avulsed teeth, crown fractures, root fractures, alveolar bone fractures, lip and tongue lacerations, and jaw injuries. Dr. Gvozden has the oral surgery training to manage complex facial trauma, and Dr. Ostovar handles the restorative rehabilitation. Call (503) 822-0096 from the sideline if needed — we will be ready when you arrive.
Time matters with sports injuries just as it does with any dental emergency. A knocked-out tooth needs reimplantation within 30 minutes for optimal survival. A displaced tooth needs repositioning before the bone begins healing in the wrong position. An alveolar fracture needs stabilization to prevent segment loss. Even a simple lip laceration benefits from prompt closure — wounds sutured within six hours heal with less scarring and lower infection risk than those closed later.
We serve athletes from youth leagues through adult recreational sports across Washington County. After treating your immediate injury, we discuss prevention — specifically custom-fabricated sports mouthguards that reduce dental injury risk by up to 60 times compared to no protection. Our digital impression system makes the process quick and the fit superior to any boil-and-bite product available at a sporting goods store. Conveniently located near Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Aloha for patients searching for quality dental care near me.

Understanding Your Investment
At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, we provide transparent pricing before any treatment begins. The cost of your procedure depends on clinical complexity, materials used, and sedation requirements. We walk you through every line item during your consultation so there are no surprises.
What Affects Cost:
- Clinical Complexity: Bone loss, sinus proximity, nerve involvement, or the need for grafting affects treatment planning and surgical time.
- Materials: We use research-backed implant systems, purified bone graft matrices, and high-strength ceramics from established manufacturers.
- Sedation: Options range from local anesthesia to IV sedation, each with different associated costs. We discuss the best option for your comfort and procedure.
Insurance & Financing
We accept most major dental insurance plans and file claims on your behalf. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment and submits pre-treatment estimates with clinical documentation to maximize coverage.
For out-of-pocket costs, we partner with CareCredit and Cherry for flexible payment plans. We also offer our ADSC Dental Savings Plan for patients without insurance.
Recovery & Healing Timeline
Understanding the healing process helps you plan ahead and follow post-operative instructions for the best possible outcome.
First 48 Hours
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal. Apply ice packs in 20-minute intervals and take prescribed or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Eat soft foods and avoid the surgical site when chewing.
Days 3 to 7
Swelling peaks around day three and then improves. The tissue begins closing over the surgical site. Continue with soft foods and use any prescribed antimicrobial rinse. Most patients return to normal activities during this phase.
Long-Term Healing
Surface tissue heals within two to three weeks. Bone integration and deep healing continue for three to six months. Avoid smoking, follow up as scheduled, and maintain good oral hygiene throughout recovery.
Questions during recovery? Call us at (503) 822-0096. We are available for post-operative concerns.
Sports Dental Trauma: Epidemiology and Prevention Evidence
The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation reports that athletes who do not wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to sustain dental injury. Basketball accounts for the highest number of dental injuries in the United States, followed by baseball, hockey, and soccer. Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that custom-fabricated mouthguards reduce concussion risk by 50% in addition to protecting teeth, by absorbing and distributing impact forces transmitted through the mandible. A study in Dental Traumatology documented that crown fracture is the most common sports dental injury (65%), followed by luxation (15%) and avulsion (10%).
Why Choose a Specialist?
Dr. Jovan Gvozden trained in facial trauma management during his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, including management of dento-alveolar injuries from sporting accidents. Dr. Ostovar provides definitive restorative treatment for fractured and damaged teeth. Our CBCT 3D imaging provides immediate assessment of root fractures, alveolar fractures, and condylar injuries that are frequently missed on standard X-rays in athletic trauma cases.

From Dr. Ostovar: What Patients Should Know
“I know oral surgery sounds intimidating — many patients tell me they’ve been putting this off for months or even years. Here’s what I want you to know: with IV sedation, you won’t remember anything. You’ll close your eyes, and the next thing you know, it’s done. Most patients say the anticipation was far worse than the reality.
Recovery depends on the complexity. For a straightforward case, you’re looking at 2-3 days of swelling managed with ice packs and ibuprofen, then gradual improvement over the following week. I recommend soft foods for 7-10 days — yogurt, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, smoothies. No straws, no smoking, no vigorous rinsing for at least 5 days.
I always use CBCT 3D imaging before any surgical procedure. A standard X-ray gives me a flat picture — the CT scan shows me exactly where the nerves are, what the bone looks like in three dimensions, and how to plan the safest approach. It makes a real difference in outcomes.”

Are You a Candidate for Emergency Tooth Extraction Urgent?
Most patients in good general health are candidates for emergency tooth extraction urgent. However, certain factors may affect your eligibility or require modifications to the treatment plan:
- Medical conditions: Uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or blood-thinning medications may require coordination with your physician before treatment.
- Bone quality: For emergency tooth extraction urgent involving the jawbone, adequate bone density is essential. A CBCT 3D scan during your consultation determines this precisely.
- Smoking: Tobacco use significantly impairs healing. We strongly recommend quitting 2-4 weeks before and after any surgical procedure.
- Age: There is generally no upper age limit. What matters is your overall health, not your age. We have successfully treated patients in their 80s and 90s.
The only way to know for certain is a consultation with our board-certified specialists. Call (503) 822-0096 to schedule your evaluation — we’ll tell you honestly whether this is the right treatment for your situation.
Typical Healing Timeline:
Days 1-3: Initial healing, mild swelling managed with ice and medication. Days 4-7: Swelling subsides, gradual return to normal diet. Weeks 2-4: Soft tissue heals completely. Months 2-6: Bone remodeling and full integration (for surgical procedures). Individual recovery varies — we provide detailed post-op instructions specific to your procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a coach do when a player gets a tooth knocked out?
Find the tooth. Handle it by the crown only — never touch the root. Place it in cold milk or the player's saliva (between cheek and gum if they are conscious and calm). Call (503) 822-0096 and transport the player to our office immediately. Speed is the single most important factor.
My child broke a tooth during a game — is it an emergency?
Yes. Bring the broken piece if you can find it, and come to our office. Even if the tooth is not hurting severely, the exposed dentin or pulp needs protection to prevent infection. Call (503) 822-0096 for a same-day appointment.
Can you treat dental injuries from contact sports?
Absolutely. We treat the full range: avulsed teeth, fractured crowns and roots, luxated (displaced) teeth, alveolar bone fractures, lip and tongue lacerations, and jaw injuries. Our oral surgeon and prosthodontist work together to manage complex multi-structure injuries.
Do custom mouthguards really make a difference?
The evidence is clear. Custom-fitted mouthguards distribute impact forces evenly and reduce dental injury risk by up to 60 times. Store-bought boil-and-bite guards are better than nothing but provide significantly less protection due to poor fit and thinner material.
How much do custom sports mouthguards cost?
Custom mouthguards at our office range from $250 to $500 depending on the design (single-layer versus multi-layer for high-impact sports). Compared to the cost of treating even a minor dental injury, the mouthguard is an excellent investment.
Can you treat a broken jaw from a sports collision?
Dr. Gvozden manages jaw fractures from sports injuries. Simple, non-displaced fractures may be managed with intermaxillary fixation (wiring the jaws together) or arch bars. Displaced fractures may require open reduction with internal fixation — plates and screws to realign and stabilize the bone.
My tooth got pushed sideways during a game — what now?
A laterally luxated tooth needs repositioning under local anesthesia and splinting to adjacent teeth. This should be done the same day. Do not try to move it yourself. Call (503) 822-0096 and come to our office immediately.
Should I go to the ER for a sports dental injury?
Come directly to us unless you suspect a jaw fracture, concussion, or have other non-dental injuries that need immediate evaluation. ERs cannot reimplant teeth, splint dental fractures, or perform definitive dental treatment. Call (503) 822-0096 on the way.
Can a dental implant replace a tooth lost to a sports injury?
Yes. After the initial injury heals and bone grafting is completed if needed, a dental implant provides the most natural-looking and longest-lasting replacement for a tooth lost to sports trauma. For growing children, an implant is delayed until jaw growth is complete.
What sports have the highest dental injury risk?
Basketball, hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, football, soccer, and cycling have the highest rates. However, dental injuries can occur in virtually any sport. We recommend custom mouthguards for all contact and collision sports, as well as activities with fall risk like skateboarding and mountain biking.
Can you see us on a Saturday if the injury happens during a weekend game?
Yes. We are open Saturday and Sunday 8 AM to 2 PM specifically for situations like this. Weekend sports injuries are one of the most common reasons patients call our emergency line. Call (503) 822-0096 from the field.
My child's lip is split open — can you suture it?
Yes. Dr. Gvozden sutures lip lacerations, especially those that cross the vermilion border (the line between lip and skin), which requires precise alignment for good cosmetic outcome. We also evaluate for underlying dental injuries that often accompany lip lacerations.
Is a root fracture worse than a crown fracture?
Root fractures are more serious because they compromise the structural support of the entire tooth. The prognosis depends on fracture location — fractures in the apical third have the best prognosis, while cervical root fractures often lead to tooth loss.
How long is recovery after a sports dental injury?
It depends on the injury severity. A bonded composite repair may be fully healed in days. A reimplanted tooth requires weeks of splinting and months of monitoring. An alveolar fracture needs six to eight weeks of healing. We provide specific timelines for your situation.
Can I return to play after dental treatment?
For minor repairs, same-day return may be possible with a properly fitted mouthguard. For reimplanted teeth, fractures, and sutures, we typically recommend at least one week away from contact sports. We provide sport-specific return-to-play guidance tailored to your injury.
