Same-Day Emergency Dental Care in the Upper East Side, NYC

When you’re in pain, relief comes first — then finding out why. Because you can’t make good decisions in pain.

• Same-day appointments for patients in pain

• Dr. Daniel answers the phone — even after hours

• Relief first, decisions after

• In-house care for most emergency situations



A toothache at 2 AM. A crack that happened over dinner. Swelling that showed up out of nowhere. When dental pain hits, everything else stops — you can’t think, you can’t sleep, you can’t function. You just need it to stop.


Call us – that’s exactly why we’re here. We get you in, we find out what’s happening, and we get you out of pain. That’s the priority — relief first, everything else after.


What Same-Day Emergency Care Looks Like

When you come in with an emergency, we start by figuring out what’s going on — an exam, imaging if needed, and a clear explanation of what we’re seeing. Then we treat what needs to be treated right now.


That might mean draining an abscess. It might mean a temporary restoration to stabilize a cracked tooth. It might mean an emergency pulpectomy — removing the nerve to stop the pain immediately so we can complete a full root canal when you’re stable and we can plan properly.


Whatever it takes to get you comfortable and safe.

We don’t use your emergency as an opportunity to sell you a treatment plan. We deal with what’s in front of us, make sure you’re okay, and schedule a follow-up to talk about next steps when you’re not in crisis.


Emergency Care Is Easier When We Already Know You

When you’re in pain, the last thing you want is to explain your entire medical history to a stranger. If you’re already a patient, we know your history, your medications, your comfort level, and what we’re working with. Treatment is faster, safer, and less stressful — for both of us.


If you’re not a patient yet and you’re in pain right now, call us anyway. We’ll take care of you. And if you want to make sure future emergencies are smoother — or better yet, don’t happen at all — we’ll talk about that too.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What counts as a dental emergency?

    Severe or persistent tooth pain, swelling in your face or gums, a knocked-out or broken tooth, bleeding that won’t stop, or signs of infection like fever and pus. If you’re unsure, call us — we’d rather hear from you early than have you wait until it gets worse.

  • Can I come in the same day?

    Yes. We make room for emergency patients. Call us and we’ll get you in as quickly as possible. If it’s after hours, Dr. Daniel picks up the phone — you’re not being routed to an answering service or a voicemail box.

  • How much does emergency dental care cost?

    It depends on what’s needed. We’ll tell you what we’re seeing and what it will cost before we do anything beyond the initial evaluation. Many emergency procedures are partially covered by insurance, and we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry if needed.

  • What if I’m not a current patient?

    Call us anyway. We see emergency patients regardless of whether they’ve been to our office before. We’ll take care of you first and talk about becoming a regular patient afterward if you’d like.
