A knocked-out tooth, a jaw that won't stop throbbing, or swelling that's getting worse by the hour — our Emergency Dentist line is answered live, day or night, and we triage by phone before you even arrive.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Emergency Dentist, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Phone triage determines urgency in under two minutes, so you know whether to come in now or first thing in the morning.
True emergencies are worked in the same day, ahead of scheduled cleanings if necessary.
Avulsed-tooth protocols are practiced, not improvised, because timing determines whether a tooth can be saved.
We quote emergency stabilization separately from any follow-up restorative work so the initial cost is clear.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
We assess for abscess, pulp infection, or referred pain and start relief measures the same visit when possible. Antibiotics are prescribed only when clinically indicated, not as a default response.
Re-implantation, when viable, is attempted the same visit using proper splinting technique. Bring the tooth in milk or saliva, never dry, and never scrub the root.
Sharp fragments are smoothed and the tooth stabilized the same visit while we plan any needed restoration. Some fractures need only bonding; others need a crown or, rarely, extraction.
If the original restoration can be reused, we'll often just re-seat it rather than starting over. Sensitivity from an exposed area usually resolves quickly once it's covered again.
We assess whether swelling is localized to a tooth or represents something requiring more immediate attention. Never ignore swelling that's spreading toward the eye or down the neck — call immediately.
We reassess recent extraction or treatment sites quickly rather than making patients wait for a routine follow-up slot. Most post-procedure complications resolve with a short, targeted visit.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Phone staff are trained to ask the right questions to gauge how urgent your situation really is.
We'll tell you what to do — and what not to do — before you even leave the house.
Emergency stabilization is quoted separately from any longer-term restorative work.
Most emergencies are stabilized the same visit, with any remaining work scheduled as a clear next step.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Emergency Dentist.
“Called at 10 PM about a knocked-out tooth and they talked me through keeping it moist the entire drive in. They actually saved it.”
“Woke up with my jaw swollen on one side and they got me in within two hours and drained an abscess I didn't know I had.”
“A crown fell out during dinner and they re-cemented it the same night before closing. Didn't expect that kind of availability.”
“The phone triage alone was worth it — they figured out it wasn't an emergency and saved me an unnecessary late-night trip.”
“Cracked a molar on a piece of ice and was seen the next morning first thing. Clear pricing before anything happened.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Emergency Dentist.
Anything involving trauma, swelling, or pain bad enough to disrupt sleep should be treated as urgent.
Most emergency cases are seen within hours of calling, not days.
Keep it moist — in milk if you can't reinsert it — and avoid touching or scrubbing the root surface.
You'll get a written estimate before treatment starts, even in an emergency — the visit isn't a blank check.
Yes — the emergency line is answered around the clock, even when the office itself opens later.
Our triage line handles uncertain cases every day; describing the symptom is usually enough for us to advise you.
If you're unsure whether your part of Old Westbury is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We staff Emergency Dentist phone triage 24/7 for Old Westbury residents, so a late-night crisis never has to wait until morning for advice. Same-day availability varies by hour, but the phone line itself is always staffed.
