Emergency Care

What is Emergency Care?

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often when we least expect them. Even with routine preventative care, an emergency can occur that leaves you feeling distressed, frustrated, and in pain. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency, it is important to make an appointment to be seen right away. When you have the emergency handled and treated quickly, it prevents the problem from developing into something more serious.

Why might you need Emergency Care?

We consider any dental emergency important, so there is never a wrong time to contact us if you think you may be dealing with an emergency situation. An emergency can be something as simple as a filling that’s fallen out or something more drastic like an abscess that is causing severe pain. We are equipped to handle many different emergencies and will work to get you pain-free and treated quickly. Dr. Andrew Turchin is here to make your emergency appointment comfortable and convenient.

If you are dealing with a dental emergency, contact our office immediately so that we can work to get you in right away. When you come into the office, we will take x-rays of the area to diagnose the problem and plan the proper treatment.

Patient Testimonials

On vacation and my crown broke on a Friday. First dentist closed. Dr Turchin wasn’t open for office hours but the was there and kind enough to see me. Not only was he the first dentist to successfully numb me he was passionate about his work and clients. Fabulous Dentist! Top pick if I lived in the Aspen area. Kristen was also exceptional, his receptionist. Saved my vacation!! Thanks Dr Turchin.

Dr Turchin was wonderful and caring. My front tooth broke off while I was on holiday and I heard that he was an excellent cosmetic dentist who might be able to fix it quickly and painlessly. I left a voicemail around 9:30 Saturday evening and he returned my call in less than 30 minutes! He was vacationing out of town but helped me locate another dentist in town. Dr. Turchin sent me text messages EVERY DAY of my stay in Aspen to check on my progress and offered to see me the night he returned (even though he was still technically on vacation) to repair the tooth if I was still in town. He also found a terrific surgeon for me in my hometown so I could have a permanent repair when I returned home. A doctor with that kind of compassion HAS TO BE GREAT!

Arriving in Aspen to spend four days skiing, I had a huge toothache. Scared, the friendly staff fit me in quickly.X-rays were taken by the gentle, thorough dental assistant. Dr. T reassured me I had an infection under my cap and prescribed antibiotics. Also thorough examination of my entire mouth with explanations. Receptionist assisted me with filling out the “paperwork” initially. I’m so thankful and I feel better.

This gentleman desired a brighter smile, but wanted a natural look to suit his face. New veneers were handcrafted to look completely natural, and his smile was designed to better support his face.

A long time Aspenite didn’t like her two front teeth. After proper analysis and a Smile Test DriveTM we determined it was a more complex problem than just two teeth. Her bite had destroyed her teeth and smile, and aged her face. So we fixed her bite and smile using our Ageless Smile algorithm, which turned back the clock.

This 40 something Aspen and Sydney resident presented looking for a better smile. Because after 2 rounds of Invisalign and plenty of whitening, he was still left wanting. With almost no preparation of his teeth we were able to add the length, prominence, broadness on sides and the shade his smile was wanting for resulting in a more youthful attractive smile and fuller lips. He is ecstatic about his new smile! The Ageless Smile Algorithm nailed it again.

This hospital exec traveled for a couple of hours in search of the smile of her dreams. Her lack of tooth display was due to a skeletal issue known as an impacted and retrognathic maxilla, which means her upper jaw was too far up and back causing her smile to show less tooth volume and less lip support than ideal. We designed a new smile to correct that deficiency by making her teeth longer and building them out for more tooth support. Now she shows a more attractive and youthful amount of tooth display that is in harmony with her lower lip. She loves her new smile which gives her renewed confidence every day.

Unhappy with the size of her smile and her local dentist’s attempt to bond a little more length, this Florida woman came to Aspen to receive The

Ageless SmileTM. Traditional dentistry would have referred her for Jaw Surgery in order to bring her upper jaw down and forward to show more teeth. Although this was discussed, the patient chose the non-surgical route which gave a near surgical result for her esthetics and bite. Tooth display at smile and at rest are some of the main determinants in guessing ones age. She now shows a more youthful amount of tooth, which takes years off of her look.

Our favorite Miami Housewives star, interior designer, and hotelier was just back in our office for his new smile. Exactly like the temporaries but the brighter shade he chose. In fact, this is our very brightest shade that he saw on his dear friend and fell in love with, and why he came to us to begin with. He has been looking for a decade for someone who could give him a super bright smile that still looked natural. It’s all in the natural tooth form, texture, and translucency. He loves his new smile and commented after each visit that he was amazed that he felt like he had no work done after each appointment as he had no pain or sensitivity. Another great Ageless Smile!
