Contact UsWhat Are Dental Emergencies?
Searching for urgent help during a dental emergency can be an inconvenient, painful hassle — on top of the stress you may already be feeling. Unforeseen dental emergencies might be a result of sports mishaps, physical altercations, stumbling over something, or merely eating crunchy foods. Our dedicated dental team offers prompt emergency dentistry in an attentive environment. We are able to address many kinds of serious dental problems for Wellesley, MA, and surrounding area patients, such as damaged fillings, oral pain, and dislodged or fractured teeth. Tooth trauma won't necessarily trigger oral pain right away; therefore, it's crucial to get your mouth checked for any unknown damage if you experience facial trauma. At Wellesley Aesthetic Dental Group, we always strive to provide emergency dental care as quickly as we can.
When Is Emergency Dental Care Needed?
Patients of any age can develop a dental emergency. Common emergencies include sudden toothaches, dislodged or fractured teeth, developing an abscess, broken restorations (including crowns and bridges), oral bleeding or sensitivity, and other tooth-related injuries. Seeking out emergency dental treatment as promptly as possible is the most effective way to relieve dental pain and maintain your oral health. Sometimes, it can be the deciding factor between keeping and losing a tooth. If you're unsure if you've experienced a dental emergency, we'd rather you err on the side of caution and give our office a call so we can determine if you should come in right away.
Wellesley Aesthetic Dental Group Reviews
Patient with Dr Rafla for 25 yrs - After a car accident at 19 yrs old my only option back then was dental bridges. At 40 yrs old with nerve pain & failing bridgework I saw Dr. Rafla for implants.He is a total professional & expert periodontist, as well as kind, caring person. My implants have not failed in 25 yrs. I moved to Maine to retire and when told to see a local periodontist I couldn't start with someone new. I drove 3 hrs back to Worcester, MA for a consult because I trust Dr. Rafla.
I originally came to Dr Rafla in 2021 for an implant. I live in CT and I wasn't able to get an appointment in my area. Dr Rafla was recommended so I called. I got an appointment with a couple days. The implant was perfect and Dr Rafla is amazing. I have a dentist in Connecticut but I continue to see Dr. Rafla every six months for a cleaning and check up. The hygienists do an amazing job. My cleanings at Dr Rafla's office just feel cleaner than my regular dentist. I end up paying out of pocket, but it's worth it for the cleaning and the check up.
Dr. Lee did an outstanding job on my 2 crows. Her assistant Jessica was very helpful during the procedure. Elizabeth is a wonderful hygienist and very knowledgeable. Liz at the desk was very helpful regarding my dental insurance questions. The Wellesley Office location is clean, bright, parking is available on-site with multiple spots. Office provide friendly environment. Thank you.
Second root canal I have had with her. She is terrific!!
Today was my first experience with Dr. Rafla and his wonderful, efficient, but most of all kind staff. I went to this very much dreaded appointment with no idea of what to expect. My poor teeth are so sore and they are making everything difficult. I have horrible gagging reflex which makes everything harder for those that are trying to take x rays to be able to guide me into having a proper diagnosis and treatment. Trust me when I say I was a difficult patient. I expected the doctor to say there wasn’t much hope for them. Instead after reviewing what I was giving him to work with he listed off the perfect game plan. All aspects would be easier on me and my issues and seem to offer a perfect solution. I hope Coach Bill Belechick has competition in writing a game plan. Dr Rafla can give him a run for his money. In no time at all Dr. Rafla had a plan devised to ease my pain and fix the pockets in my gums. I am anxious now to correct these problems and move forward with the plan Thank you Dr. Rafla and team for being both gentle and kind with me today.

Prior to making a treatment plan, we will fully assess your specific issue in order to render a diagnosis. Oral imaging could be needed to check for hidden damage, such as to the bone, tooth roots, or jaw. After we fully learn the severity of your oral issue, we will talk about your choices for treatment. At our Wellesley, MA office, the primary goal of an urgent dental visit is to ease dental discomfort and identify any injuries. We aim to restore the function, look, and total health of your smile as promptly as we can. Follow-up visits could be required.
