Emergency Dentistry

A dental emergency never waits for a convenient time, and neither should your care. Beam Dental offers same-day emergency dentist appointments across our New York and New Jersey locations. Whether it’s a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our team will see you quickly, relieve your pain, and protect your smile.

Same-Day Emergency Dental Care

When you’re in pain, every hour matters. That’s why we reserve time each day for urgent dental care and walk-in emergencies. Call the Beam Dental location nearest you, and we’ll get you in front of a dentist as soon as possible, often the same day you call.

Toothache Relief

A toothache that’s severe, lasts more than a day, or comes with swelling is your body’s signal that something needs attention. We’ll find the cause, whether it’s decay, infection, or a damaged tooth, and treat it at the source, not just the symptom.

Chipped, Cracked & Broken Tooth Repair

A broken or chipped tooth can usually be saved when it’s treated quickly. Depending on the damage, we’ll restore your tooth with dental bonding, a crown, or a veneer, and have you smiling comfortably again.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth is one of the most time-sensitive dental emergencies. The best chance of saving it is within the first hour. Keep the tooth moist (in milk or saliva), avoid touching the root, and call us immediately.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, a prompt extraction relieves pain and stops the problem from spreading. We perform same-day emergency tooth extractions and will walk you through comfortable replacement options like implants and bridges.

Dental Abscess & Infection Treatment

Swelling in your gums, jaw, or face can signal an abscess, an infection that won’t resolve on its own. We treat dental infections promptly, often with root canal therapy, to save the tooth and protect your overall health.

Lost Crown or Filling

A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure and can quickly turn painful. We’ll repair or replace the restoration and make sure the tooth underneath stays healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a dental emergency?

Severe or persistent tooth pain, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, and swelling in your mouth, jaw, or face are all dental emergencies. If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll help you decide what to do next.

Should I go to the emergency room or an emergency dentist?

For most dental problems, an emergency dentist can treat the cause. Hospital ERs typically can’t perform dental procedures. Go to the ER first if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, facial trauma, or swelling that’s spreading rapidly.

Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?

In most cases, yes. We hold time for dental emergencies at our New York and New Jersey offices. Call the location nearest you as early as you can, and we’ll fit you in as soon as possible.

Do you treat dental emergencies without insurance?

Yes. You don’t need insurance to be seen for a dental emergency at Beam Dental. We accept most major insurance plans, and our membership plan and flexible payment options help make urgent care affordable.

Do you treat dental emergencies for kids?

Yes, our dentists care for patients of all ages. If your child chips a tooth, knocks one out, or wakes up with a toothache, call us right away and we’ll get them seen quickly.
