Get the Emergency Treatment You Need

Relax With Sedation & Amenities

During your emergency procedure, our team can ensure your complete comfort through advanced IV sedation. This safe, monitored approach will help you relax deeply while your surgeon works. Many patients report feeling like they slept through their entire procedure, with no memory of the treatment.

We’ve created a soothing surgical environment with warm blankets, soft pillows, and noise-canceling headphones. These thoughtful touches help reduce anxiety and create a calming experience, even during emergency treatment. We want you to feel as comfortable as you would in your own home.

During your emergency visit, your surgeon will take time to understand your symptoms, concerns, and treatment goals. Listening carefully to our patients leads to better outcomes and more comfortable surgical experiences. Your input helps us develop a treatment plan that addresses both your immediate pain and long-term oral health needs.

Know What to Do In an Emergency

If you’re experiencing a toothache or wisdom teeth pain, gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain medication can help manage discomfort until your appointment. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as this can cause tissue damage. For loose dental implants, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and keep the area clean.

Always call our office right away if you notice signs of infection like fever, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. While waiting for your emergency appointment, try to get rest and stay hydrated. Write down your symptoms and when they started to help our surgical team provide the best care.

Emergency Treatment Stops Pain & Restores Health

Our surgical team’s primary goal is to quickly eliminate your pain and restore your oral health. We understand that dental crises can feel overwhelming, which is why our treatment is designed to address urgent surgical needs. With many years of experience in emergency oral surgery, our team will quickly diagnose your condition and provide immediate relief while developing a long-term solution for your smile. You may need:

Tooth Extractions – When severe decay, infection, or trauma makes saving a tooth impossible, our team will perform a gentle extraction. We use advanced techniques that preserve surrounding bone and tissue. We’ll discuss tooth replacement options with you, so you can move forward with restoring your smile as soon as possible.
Wisdom Teeth Removal – Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause intense pain, swelling, and damage to nearby teeth. Our specialists use precise surgical techniques to remove problematic wisdom teeth while protecting important nerves and sinuses. We can often remove all four wisdom teeth in a single appointment under IV sedation for your comfort.
Loose Dental Implant Repair – A loose dental implant requires immediate attention to prevent implant failure. Our surgical team will carefully evaluate the cause of the loosening, whether it’s infection, bone loss, or a mechanical problem. We can often save the implant through specialized cleaning techniques, bone grafting, or implant restoration repair.

Our team utilizes state-of-the-art imaging technology. Our digital X-rays provide instant, detailed images while emitting significantly less radiation than film X-rays. For complex cases, our 3-D cone beam CT scanner creates detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, bone, nerves, and sinuses. This advanced technology allows us to plan your procedure with incredible precision, leading to more predictable results and faster recovery times.

Based on these detailed images and our clinical examination, we’ll explain your condition in clear, simple terms and discuss all available treatment options. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about your emergency care while providing the relief you need.

Call Mid-Manhattan Oral Surgery now at 212-918-1859 to be seen as soon as possible for dental emergencies in New York. If you have a non-emergency need, you can also make an appointment online.
