Our Patients’ Reviews

I came here with the worst pain of my life. The front desk was super helpful and booked me to see a specialist (which was hard on a Sunday). Dr. Kim fixed me up in no time and I have had no pain since. I can’t say what a relief it was going to 209 Dental and how helpful and caring all the staff are. Thank you!

Anum

Great experience today. I had a cracked tooth and needed an appointment quickly. I got one the next day and had a root canal done right away. Very professionally run office.

Thomas ODonnell

I think the service was overall great. I called and was given a same-day appointment. Once I arrived I was greeted by front desk and immediately serviced despite being told it may be a wait. The doctor was amazing at explaining in detail my specific situation and his assistant was very friendly as well. I’d highly recommend.

Gladys B

Quick and painless, took the time to answer all my questions

Chris

Had a dental emergency, called at 11:00, they got me in by 3:00. Staff and doctors were professional, friendly and totally accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

FAQs about Emergency Dentistry in NYC

1) How much is an emergency dental visit near me? ▾

Our $125 emergency evaluation includes an exam, up to two digital X‑rays, diagnosis, and prescriptions if needed. Total cost depends on the procedure required—palliative care, drainage for an abscess, bonding a broken or chipped tooth, root canal therapy, extraction/oral surgery, or a temporary dental crown. We verify benefits when possible and provide transparent pricing and written options before we begin; CareCredit financing is available for urgent treatment.

2) What is considered emergency dental? ▸

Dental emergencies include severe pain or swelling, broken or chipped teeth, knocked‑out/displaced teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, injuries to the mouth, and post‑surgical issues (dry socket, infection). If you have trouble breathing, high fever with rapidly spreading facial swelling, or heavy bleeding, go to the nearest emergency room. For most other problems, contact our NYC dental office for emergency dental care—we’ll triage and start prompt, effective treatment to prevent further complications.

3) Where should I go for a dental emergency in NYC? ▸

Choose emergency dentists in NYC for most dental issues—pain, infection, fractures, or lost fillings/crowns. We can numb the area, take digital X‑rays, and begin urgent treatment immediately to stop bleeding, relieve pain, and protect your oral health. Use the ER only for life‑threatening emergency signs (breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling with fever). Call 212‑355‑2290 to schedule a same‑day emergency appointment in New York City.

4) Where do I go for emergency dental care after hours? ▸

We’re open 7 days with reserved same‑day appointments; call during posted hours for immediate assistance and appointment today. After hours, request online and we’ll contact you at opening. Use cold compresses and OTC pain relievers as directed; keep a knocked‑out tooth moist (milk/saliva). If symptoms escalate—trouble breathing, fever with spreading facial swelling, or heavy bleeding—go to the nearest emergency room right away.

Yes. 209 NYC offers emergency dental care with no insurance. Start with our $125 emergency evaluation (exam + up to two X‑rays + diagnosis).

We offer transparent pricing, payment options, and CareCredit financing so you can access emergency dental care without delay.

6) Do you accept dental insurance for emergencies? ▸

Yes. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans for emergency care and file claims to help maximize reimbursement.

Testimonials

I was very lucky to have had a referral for this Dental Practice. From the wonderful staff at the front desk, who were very helpful and those who checked on my insurance to see if I was covered and this was all before I even had the actual appointment. This was my first time for a visit and I was greeted as if I had been going there forever. I was informed of what to expect and after I filled out my paperwork a lovely young lady came so I could have my x-rays which went well; then the hygienist came and got me - she looked over my x-rays and asked me some questions and then proceeded to clean my teeth. She did a wonderful job. Then the dentist came in for further examination and discussion of what my next steps should be. He was a wonderful doctor. This was a wonderful experience. Before today I was with the same dentist office for approximately 40 years and always adored them unfortunately, they retired. So, I am extremely thrilled to have found such a wonderful dental office and staff at 209 NYC Dental. I look forward to building a lasting relationship.
