Immediate Implants

Losing a tooth leaves you with a gap in your smile; fill that gap right away with immediate implants. Dental implants can stop you from losing bone mass while restoring your bite, but the longer you go without a tooth, the more likely you are to lose bone, so timely care is crucial. If you've lost a tooth, or require an extraction, ask us if a dental implant is right for you.

What do I do in a Dental Emergency?

Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding

Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding

Dental emergencies can turn an ordinary day into a stressful experience, but it's crucial to remain calm because your dentist is here to assist you. Start by taking a deep breath and assessing the situation. If there's any bleeding from your dental injury, use a sterile gauze strip to apply pressure to the affected area. Maintain the pressure until the bleeding stops or until you reach our office.

Control Swelling & Pain

Control Swelling & Pain

If you're experiencing pain or swelling, you can temporarily alleviate it using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. However, avoid aspirin and similar blood-thinning medications, as they may hinder clot formation and make it more challenging to stop bleeding. In addition to medication, apply a cold compress to the cheek or lip near the affected area for relief.

I have appreciated Julia’s expertise and competence as a dental hygienist for many years. I will always be thankful for her keen eye catching a tricky dental problem  early on. I also like her and Dr Sage’s focus on prevention and oral health as the first step towards heart and brain health.

Just had my first visit with and I’ve never been treated so well by a dental team! I’m actually looking forward to working with them on addressing my periodontal and teeth issues. Highly highly recommend.

Dr Carns was, as always, friendly and professional.  He gave my teeth a good cleaning.  We discussed a cosmetic issue.  He gave me his thoughts and arranged for me to get a further opinion from Dr Sage.

Great dental work. Everyone I’ve worked with has been thorough, communicative and efficient. My impression is that the office makes a point to use up to date tech and techniques, and consistently makes patient comfort their priority (extra pillows and water are nice touches during long filling sessions!). Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sage Family Dentistry for over 5 years, ever since moving to Seattle. My kids also get their dental care here ever since they were born. Dr. Sage and all the other dentists, hygienists, and staff have all been great this entire time. I recently had a bad toothache on a Friday night, called in Saturday morning (when they're normally closed), and was in the office within 1.5 hours with Dr. Sage solving my issue - during a holiday weekend! Highly recommended.
