Featured Clinical Case

Severe Slip-and-Fall Trauma Recovery

A new patient who was traveling through the area suffered a severe slip-and-fall accident resulting in an avulsed (knocked-out) central incisor, severe intrusion of the lateral incisor into the jawbone, fractured tooth structure, and soft tissue lacerations. The patient contacted Loukas Dentistry and was seen the same day on an emergency basis. Dr. Loukas employed a multidisciplinary approach: surgical repositioning, reimplantation, root canal therapy, fixed splinting, and final restorative bonding, all completed in a single emergency visit to completely save and restore the natural smile.

Types of Dental Trauma We Treat

  • Avulsed Teeth: Teeth completely knocked out of the socket.
  • Intruded Teeth: Teeth driven upward into the jawbone.
  • Extruded Teeth: Teeth partially pushed out of the socket.
  • Lateral Luxation: Teeth pushed forward or backward.
  • Crown Fractures: Broken enamel and dentin, exposing the nerve.
  • Root Fractures: Cracks extending below the gumline.
  • Alveolar Bone Fractures: Damage to the bone supporting the teeth.

Our Multidisciplinary Approach

Treating severe trauma requires more than just one skill set. We provide comprehensive care under one roof:

  • Diagnostics: CBCT 3D imaging to assess hidden root and bone damage.
  • Oral Surgery: Repositioning displaced teeth and repairing soft tissue.
  • Endodontics: Root canal therapy to save the vitality of traumatized teeth.
  • Stabilization: Splinting loose or reimplanted teeth to allow bone healing.
  • Restorative: Bonding, crowns, or implants to rebuild the final smile.

Time is Critical in Dental Trauma

The success rate of saving a traumatized tooth drops significantly as time passes. If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, keep it moist (in milk or saliva), and get to our office immediately. Call (847) 696-1919 for urgent assistance.
