Real Results from Our NYC Patients
“I’m writing this review in the honor of talented and magnificent Dr. Nikitaev!
Today I came to see him as an emergency because my front veneer got cracked and broken in half. I urgently needed a temporary veneer or crown, and Dr. Nikitaev was able to sculpt my temporary veneer right on the spot, in 15 min, and made it look like an actual ceramic veneer. The color matched my other veneer teeth perfectly.
I was beyond impressed, happy and greatful. What a talented doctor, beautiful human being and a true artist. Thank you so much, dear Dr. Nikitaev!”
“Visting NYC on a business trip and my tooth broke eating breakfast. Found 209 NYC Dental via Google and was in there office within an hour. From the front desk to my consultation the team were fantastic. Dr Reddy, explained one of my crowns had broken, cleaned it all up, scanned for a new one and 2 days later, you wouldn’t know it had happened. Thank you for the great service and reasonable pricing.”
“My spouse’s tooth broke during a weekend trip to NY -we called on a Saturday morning and were able to go right over and get in for an emergency dental appointment. (We tried several other emergency dentists first and no one could see her.) They got us in right away and were extremely friendly and helpful. Great dentist and would highly recommend.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Chipped Teeth
Can a chipped tooth heal on its own?
No, enamel cannot regrow.
Tooth enamel does not contain living cells, so a chipped tooth cannot repair itself naturally. Professional dental treatment, such as bonding or veneers, is required to protect the tooth from further decay and restore its function.
Is a chipped tooth considered a dental emergency?
Yes, if accompanied by pain or sharp edges.
If your chipped tooth causes severe pain, exposes internal nerve tissue, or has sharp edges cutting your cheeks or tongue, you should seek emergency dental treatment immediately.
