Protect Your Oral Health With Emergency Dental Care
At Implant Dentistry & Laser Periodontics, you benefit from our modern technology and advanced treatment techniques to restore your smile. Plus, Dr. Crawford has over 25 years of experience as a periodontist. When you come in dealing with dental pain, we’ll do an exam to determine the best way to provide relief. We’ll take digital X-rays and photos of your mouth with an intraoral camera to make quick and effective diagnoses.
Depending on your smile needs, we may recommend:
- Periodontal Treatments – If you have inflamed, swollen, or painful gums, we can treat gum disease with periodontal care. We can perform deep cleaning procedures to eliminate the disease or offer laser dentistry for more serious infections. Either way, you’ll feel better quickly.
- Tooth Extractions – While Dr. Crawford would rather save a tooth, if it puts other healthy teeth at risk, he can gently remove it. Once it’s been extracted, he’ll discuss your replacement tooth options, including dental implants.
- Gum Grafting – If you have more serious stages of gum disease and have noticed loose teeth, Dr. Crawford will do a grafting procedure to restore your gumline. It will help you avoid tooth loss and other complications.
Sedation is available to ease your nerves. You can also relax in our heated massage chairs and take advantage of comforting touches like warm blankets and soft pillows.

Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out of my mouth this morning. Dr. Crawford, accompanied by his wonderful wife, Madelyn came to the office, even during this Memorial Day holiday weekend to bring healing and to restore me to my former self.They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. God’s blessings upon the entire Crawford family and office staff. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford’s office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist. This is a holiday weekend and Dr. Crawford didn’t even charge me. That’s Grace from on high. Thank you God for giving Dr. Crawford wisdom and knowledge to do such intricate work.
I’ve been a patient with Dr Crawford for nearly 25 years. He and his staff are very up to date on new procedures, very friendly, efficient easy to work with if you need to rearrange appointments and helpful dealing with insurance. I think you would have a hard time finding another office with more knowledge and experience to handle your periodontal issues.

Dr Crawford and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, competent, and compassionate. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed. The office is immaculate and the decor pleasing. They have taken care of my teeth for decades. I seriously doubt I would still have my own teeth if it were not for their care. And I am 80 years old!
I recommend Dr Crawford without hesitation.
My whole experience has been amazing. The entire office is professional, friendly, and very talented. Dr Crawford is so kind. I feel so lucky to have found him. I had 2 implants and I couldn’t be happier!
My procedure fixed a gum recession issue on my lower left. Dr Crawford and his staff were very thorough and all went well. It’s been two months now and the graft is healing up nicely. All of the follow up appointments went smoothly and on time. No issues what so ever.
The most amazing dentist/surgeon! The entire staff works as a team and make me feel like family. Dr Crawford is the very best and does excellent work! They gave me my smile back! Highly recommended 10 star for sure!!
I loved the care and treatment I received on my teeth today but also the registered hygienist was very professional and personable. Really I felt a sense of relief and not downgraded as in the past. I want to work with her again! Dr Crawford was great as always!!! Thanks. For once I felt good leaving the dental office.
