Save Your Tooth & Restore Your Smile
While our emergency dental team is always here to help you during urgent situations, preventive care is the best way to avoid dental emergencies altogether. By visiting our practice for regular dental checkups and cleanings, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.
However, even with the best preventive care, dental emergencies can still happen unexpectedly. You can count on us to be there for you when you need us most. Your dentist will work quickly to examine your smile, provide relief, and perform any necessary treatments to get you back to optimal oral health.
Your dentist may recommend:
- Tooth Fillings – If you have a severe toothache caused by decay or damage, your dentist can restore your tooth with a filling. It will prevent further damage to the tooth and restore your smile.
- Dental Crowns – If your tooth is chipped, cracked, or broken, a dental crown can restore its structure, strength, and appearance. Your dentist will place a temporary crown until your customized one is ready for placement.
- Dental Bridge – If you have knocked out a tooth, a bridge can replace the tooth and restore your oral function. A bridge is supported by nearby teeth and will prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Gum Disease Treatment – If you are experiencing gum pain, swelling, or bleeding, your dentist will treat the infection with a deep cleaning procedure. He’ll follow it up with antibacterial treatments.
A dental emergency can feel stressful. That’s why we have numerous sedation options available to you. Laughing gas and oral conscious sedation can provide prompt relief from stress and make you feel calm while your dentist restores your smile.
Call 907-268-2756 to meet with your emergency dentist in Anchorage. You can also request an appointment online.

I have had a hard time visiting dentists for most of my life, this Father and son team make it easy and get rid of most of your fears. The key is communication and a great chair side manner. I have lots of problems with my teeth and have required a lot of work, with a magic sedition pill and some excellent skill these guys have taken care of the most immediate problems. Thanks to them I have no more pain in my teeth and my teeth are looking better and better.

I have seen Nile Ersland for thirty three years and have the utmost confidence in him. Dr Nile Ersland is knowledgeable in every aspect of dentistry and has mentored his son to become a part of a very trustworthy dental practice. Having a number of dental challenges is not easy, but knowing you are being taken care of by the best is comforting. Having confidence in your smile can make a big difference. Thank you Dr. Nile for your expertise and friendship over the years! If you are in need of an excellent dentist, visit Ersland Family Dentistry!

I had a filling and it was virtually painless. They have this fancy tool that holds your mouth open so you can rest your jaw, which helps a lot. I was late and they were very forgiving. Dr. Ersland does a great job of answering questions and keeping you informed. I also told them I get migraines, so they did my entire cleaning by hand rather than use the drill. The office is incredibly accommodating, thank you!!
