Emergency Dental Care When You Need It – Call Now!

Dental emergencies can happen anytime, but relief is just a call away. Whether you're dealing with sudden pain, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental issue, we offer same-day appointments to get you out of discomfort and on the path to recovery as quickly as possible.

Accidents resulting in chipped, broken, or fractured teeth can occur unexpectedly. In some cases, especially with fractures, you may not even realize there’s an injury right away. That’s why it’s important to seek dental care after an accident—even if you’re not in pain. Early treatment can prevent complications like decay and infection, ensuring a healthier long-term outcome.

The sooner you seek treatment for a dental injury, the better your chances of avoiding permanent damage. Even a knocked-out tooth can often be saved if you get to our office in time. But accidents aren’t the only dental emergencies—sudden, severe tooth pain also requires immediate attention.

Toothaches can be caused by cavities, loose fillings, or infections requiring a root canal. No matter the cause, tooth pain is a warning sign that something is wrong. If your toothache suddenly disappears, don’t assume the problem is gone—this could indicate nerve damage, which requires urgent care.

If you're experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait. Call us today for prompt, expert treatment. We offer same-day and weekend emergency appointments to get you out of pain and back to health as quickly as possible.

The Importance of Emergency Dental Care

We offer emergency dental care to ensure you receive prompt treatment when you need it most. Ignoring a damaged or infected tooth can lead to more serious complications, including the spread of infection. Quick intervention not only relieves pain but also protects your overall oral health. If you're facing a dental emergency, don’t wait—seek care immediately to prevent further issues.

Why Choose Emergency Dental Care Over the ER?

While emergency room doctors are highly skilled in treating medical emergencies, they are not specialized in dental care. If you visit the ER for a dental issue, they can help stop bleeding and provide pain relief, but they won’t be able to restore a damaged tooth or address the root cause of your pain. In most cases, you’ll still need to see a dentist afterward.

By coming directly to us for emergency dental care, you can save yourself unnecessary pain, time, and money. We provide specialized treatment to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and restore your smile—all in one visit.

Emergency Dental Procedures: What to Expect

At The Art of Smile, our team offers the same high-quality care you would receive during a routine dental visit—but with the urgency your situation requires. During emergency appointments, we commonly treat:

Emergency Dental Care for Tooth Damage

Accidents can happen at any time, and teeth can often be damaged in unexpected ways—whether it’s from a car accident, sports injury, or a simple fall. While it may not be something most people anticipate, cracking or chipping a tooth during everyday activities like playing basketball is not uncommon. When tooth damage occurs, it’s important to seek prompt dental care to prevent further complications.

At our office, we can quickly address a variety of dental injuries, including cracked, chipped, or even knocked-out teeth. For fast and effective restoration, we often use dental bonding, a tooth-colored resin applied to the affected area, shaped, and hardened with a special light. This procedure can typically be completed in a single visit, allowing you to leave with a fully restored tooth. For more extensive damage, options like dental veneers or crowns may be recommended, though these treatments may require a follow-up appointment.

If your tooth has been knocked out, time is critical. If you can locate the tooth, rinse it gently and place it in a cup of milk before heading to our office right away. In some cases, we may be able to reattach the tooth. If not, we offer several options for replacing the missing tooth, including dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants—all of which can restore your smile to a natural appearance.

If you've suffered a dental injury, don’t wait—call us at (973) 845-9955 for immediate care and restoration.

Quick Relief for Toothaches: Emergency Dental Care When You Need It

Toothaches are one of the most common reasons people seek emergency dental care. When a severe toothache strikes, it can be incredibly painful and disruptive, and waiting until the next day can feel unbearable. Fortunately, we’re here to help. At The Art of Smile, we understand that most toothaches don’t appear without warning. Common signs like discomfort when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, or irritation when brushing or flossing can signal an issue that requires attention.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to call us at (973) 845-9955 as soon as possible to schedule a dental exam. By addressing the problem early, we can prevent it from escalating into a severe toothache. Our friendly team can work with you to find a convenient appointment time to fit your schedule, so you don’t have to wait for relief.

For severe toothaches, the cause is often infection or decay, and in these cases, a root canal may be necessary. During a root canal, we will remove the infected tissue, clean the area, and seal it to relieve the pain. We’ll ensure the procedure is comfortable by numbing the area and using anesthesia. Afterward, you’ll likely feel immediate relief. In some cases, the tooth may require a dental filling or crown for restoration, which we can complete right away or at a follow-up appointment.

If you're suffering from a toothache, don’t wait. Contact us today for fast, effective relief!
