Emergency Dentist in Scarsdale, NY — Available 24/7

A severe toothache can be caused by infection, a crack, an abscess, or nerve exposure. We take an X-ray or CT scan to identify the source, provide immediate pain relief, and begin treatment the same day — whether that means starting a root canal, draining an abscess, or prescribing antibiotics. The goal is to get you out of pain before you leave.

A knocked-out tooth can often be re-implanted if you arrive within 30 minutes. Keep the tooth moist — in milk or between your cheek and gum — and come in immediately. For broken teeth, we stabilize the remaining structure with a temporary restoration the same visit and plan definitive treatment (crown, veneer, or bonding) based on the extent of damage.

If a crown or filling falls out, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity. Bring the crown with you if you still have it — in many cases it can be re-cemented the same day. If the crown no longer fits or the tooth underneath has decayed further, we place a temporary restoration and schedule the permanent one. Our in-house lab can often fabricate a new crown quickly.

Facial swelling or a dental abscess requires prompt attention — infection can spread. We drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, and manage pain immediately. A follow-up plan is established for definitive treatment, which may include a root canal, extraction, or both depending on the tooth and the extent of infection.

A cracked denture, broken clasp, or damaged retainer can leave you unable to eat or speak comfortably. Bring the broken pieces in — our in-house lab can often repair dentures, partials, and appliances the same day. If the denture is beyond repair, we take impressions for a replacement and provide a temporary solution while the new one is fabricated.
