Emergency Dentistry
As a family dentist, it’s our mission and goal to take care of our patients whenever they need us. That’s why Nobel Dental Care offers emergency dentistry in Lancaster, SC.
What can emergency dentistry treat?
By now you know that emergencies often happen when we least expect them. The same is true for dental emergencies. You could be enjoying a nice meal when one of your teeth cracks or breaks. Or perhaps a filling falls out as you’re going about your day. These are hassles no one wants to go through. But fortunately, you’re not alone. Your friends at Nobel Dental Care offer emergency dental appointments when you have a situation that just can’t wait until your next scheduled appointment. Dr. Pooja Mehrotra provides emergency dental services to treat urgent needs like chips, cracks, breaks, or other issues that have impacted your teeth. Beyond the immediate pain and discomfort you may be feeling, seeking immediate treatment is also best for the long-term health of your teeth. The longer you wait, the less successful our treatment may be — or more extensive treatment may be required.
Why should I contact you for dental emergencies?
Our dental practice uses modern technology and the latest procedures to give you healthy teeth, greater comfort, an improved appearance, and peace of mind. We want the best for every patient we serve, and we believe that doesn’t just apply to your regularly scheduled appointment. Our staff is dedicated to making sure our patients know they can trust us to help them when they need it most.

Same Day Crowns
Technology today is changing our everyday lives. Many people, however, aren’t aware that technology also is impacting dentistry in new and exciting ways. Cutting-edge innovations in dental instruments are requiring less time in the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating satisfying results. One breakthrough instrument, called CEREC®, allows dentists to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings, saving patients time and inconvenience. That’s why Nobel Dental Care offers emergency dentistry in Lancaster, SC.
What is CEREC?
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CERamic REConstruction. Translated, it means that a dentist can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth.
How does the instrument work?
CEREC uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where the dentist uses CAD technology to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes about one hour.
Periodontics
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized type of dentistry that focuses solely on periodontal diseases. These diseases can cause serious damage to your gums and teeth. In the past, if you were diagnosed with gum disease, you had to find a specialist who wasn’t familiar with your dental history or individual circumstances. But at Nobel Dental Care, we can take care of all your dental needs. Dr. Pooja Mehrotra offers periodontic care for patients in Lancaster, Rock Hill, Indian Land, Heath Springs, Kershaw, and surrounding areas of South Carolina.
What periodontic treatments do you offer?
Our periodontist can treat even the most difficult cases, such as gingivitis. We provide our patients with a wide variety of treatments designed to return your teeth and gums to optimal health. We can also use surgical procedures as needed, including the placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants. At Nobel Dental Care, we examine our patients’ gums at every visit to see if there’s any evidence of gum line recession. We’ll evaluate your bite, as well as check for loose teeth. We use the most modern instruments and techniques to determine the depth of spaces between the teeth and gums — known as periodontal pockets — to assess the overall health of a patient’s gums. We also use X-rays to observe the health of the bone below the gum line.
If you’re looking for a dentist in Lancaster, SC who also specializes in periodontics, come to Nobel Dental Care. Dr. Mehrotra is currently accepting new patients. We’ll give you a complete dental exam and find out if there’s any evidence of gum disease. We’ll then come up with a treatment plan that’s designed to meet our ultimate goal — healthy teeth that will last a lifetime. Don’t put off taking care of one of your most valuable assets. Contact us for an appointment today.
Root Canal
When most people hear the words root canal, they feel anxious. After all, dental problems often happen unexpectedly – and aren’t very pleasant. However, modern dental procedures have changed and so have root canals. Although this type of appointment shouldn’t be met with dread like in the old days, dentists performing this type of procedure still have the same goal in mind: to get rid of infection or damage that causes intense pain inside your mouth. Dr. Pooja Mehrotra, a dentist in Lancaster, SC, performs root canals at Nobel Dental Care.
What are root canals?
Root canals are used to repair and rescue your teeth if they are severely infected. These infections can be caused by a variety of factors, such as cracks or chips in a tooth and tooth decay. During a basic root canal procedure, a dentist or endodontist will remove the nerves and pulp from the infected tooth. Then they’ll clean the area and seal it to avoid further damage to the infected area. The tooth will also be prepared for a crown or implant to be installed at a later time.
What are signs I may need a root canal?
Be aware of the signs of an infected tooth. If you have a tooth that’s causing you lots of pain, is sensitive to hot or cold drinks or food, and is tender to the touch when you brush your teeth or chew your food, then you need to find a dentist near you as soon as possible. When you come for your appointment at Nobel Dental Care, Dr. Mehrotra will examine your tooth, perform X-rays or other diagnostic tests, and determine whether a root canal will help fix the problem.
What should I do if I suspect I need root canal?
If you have a painful tooth and suspect that it’s infected, call Nobel Dental Care at (803) 286-6455. Our dentist in Lancaster, SC, is now accepting new patients for root canals and other general dentistry procedures. Make an appointment today, and let us help you have a healthy and pain-free smile!
