Emergency Dental Service in Jackson Heights to Turn Your Bad Day Around

Call, tell us what's wrong, and we'll tell you how soon we can see you.

Your comfort is our #1 priority, Dr. Ames walks you through it all step-by-step.

Dr. Ames owns the practice and treats your emergency himself, plus any follow-up visits after.

Root canals have a scary reputation. An emergency root canal treats the deep, throbbing ache of an infected tooth by cleaning out the nerve and sealing the tooth. The point is to keep your natural tooth instead of pulling it. Anesthesia comes first, and the fear is usually bigger than the visit itself. Everyone's different, so Dr. Ames checks in with you along the way.

A crown can come loose on a piece of caramel or for no clear reason at all. Either way, the tooth underneath is left exposed and often sensitive. With emergency crown repair and replacement, we re-cement the crown when it's still in good shape and make a new one when it isn't. If yours came off in one piece, bring it along. Dr. Ames looks over the tooth underneath before anything goes back on.

A popcorn kernel, a fall, a fork at the wrong angle. Teeth break in ordinary ways. Broken, cracked, and chipped tooth repair runs from smoothing or bonding a small chip to placing a crown over a deep crack. Which one fits depends on how far the damage goes, and an exam shows that. If it's a front tooth, our cosmetic dentistry work means the repair is shaded to blend with the teeth beside it.

Nobody wants to lose a tooth, and pulling one is never the first idea here. An emergency tooth extraction is for a tooth too damaged or infected to save. The tooth comes out, and you go home with clear instructions for the days ahead. Once the area has healed, Dr. Ames can walk you through ways to fill the space, such as a bridge or an implant.

Not sure if it counts as an emergency? Most people aren't. Severe pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a crown that came off are all reasons people call us. As your emergency dentist, Dr. Ames starts by finding the cause, because the same ache can come from very different problems. Then he tells you what he found in plain words, with no rush to decide on the spot.

Some problems can't sit until next week. If you're looking for a same-day dentist, the smart move is to call as soon as we open, since the morning is when the day's schedule has the most room. We fit urgent visits into the day whenever the schedule allows. And if today is truly full, we'll say so and give you the soonest time we have.
