See How We Can Restore Your Smile in an Emergency

Dental emergencies happen all the time. While they may not threaten your life, they can damage your smile unless you get prompt care. We try to fit you into our schedule on the same day you call, whenever possible. We'll do a thorough exam of your mouth and likely get X-rays to diagnose what's going on with your dental health.

Depending on what we see, your dentist may perform treatments, such as:

  • Gum Disease Treatment - We'll revive your gum health and eliminate the infection. It'll help you avoid potential tooth loss.
  • Tooth Fillings - If you have a cavity, we'll remove the decayed portion of your tooth, then fill it with a tooth-colored filling.
  • Root Canals - An infection that has reached the pulp of your tooth needs a root canal to restore your tooth to health.
  • Inlays or Onlays - These partial crowns can cover the biting portions of your teeth or the sharp edges of your tooth.
  • Dental Crowns - A lifelike crown is often used to protect severely damaged teeth or mend cavities too large for fillings.
  • Dental Bridge - If you have lost one tooth or several, a dental bridge can be placed to fill the gaps in your smile.
  • Tooth Extractions - If a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save, we'll gently extract it to protect other healthy teeth.

We know some patients experience anxiety about the dentist. That's why we offer cozy amenities like massage chairs, soothing music or white noise, and warm blankets. If you like dogs, our comfort dog, April, can show you love and attention to put you at ease.

If you need the help of an emergency dentist in Waukegan, don't hesitate to call.

I am always greeted with friendly smiles. So much genuine care is put into every visit. The dentist and staff prioritize each patient’s comfort and they deliver quality care. And their dog, April, is beyond precious. I have been recommending them to everyone.

Was my first visit to Greenwood Dental today I was very impressed with everything! As I have always been apprehensive about someone “poking “ around in my mouth, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Kurziak doing a complete examination of my teeth, along with Dawn, the hygienist!! Doctor found a couple of issues, one I had known about and the other was very similar so I made an appointment to get this resolved! Also, there is a “comfort dog” on Wednesday to help allay someone’s apprehension, and “April “ the comfort pup, jumped on my lap and she really helped me relax!! As we have two Golden Retrievers, and I love dogs, April sure made my visit a lot less stressful!!! My wife also visited Greenwood Dental today, and she was very impressed and happy with the service!! We are certainly happy and glad we chose Greenwood Dental!😁 We would both HIGHLY recommend Greenwood Dental!!

My first time going, I noticed that everyone was friendly. The ambiance was warm and uplifting with good music playing. They asked what my concerns were instead of just suggesting treatments right away and they asked what exactly I wanted for my smile. I love that and how they paid attention to detail. In addition to that, they explain EVERYTHING to you. I had little to no questions because they were so thorough.
