A chipped tooth, a crown that came loose, swelling that woke you up. Call us. Whenever the schedule allows, we’ll get you in the same day.

Dental problems rarely arrive at a convenient moment. A tooth cracks on something soft. A crown comes off over breakfast. A dull ache in the jaw turns into a night you can’t sleep through. Whatever brought you here, the first step is simple: pick up the phone and tell us what’s happening.
Our team keeps room in the daily schedule for urgent visits, and when you call during office hours we will do everything we can to see you the same day. If we can’t reach a definitive fix in a single appointment, we’ll get you comfortable first and plan the rest properly, without rushing the work that deserves care.
And if you’re unsure whether what you’re feeling counts as an emergency, call anyway. We would far rather talk it through than have you wait it out.
If any of these sound like what you’re dealing with right now, give us a call. This is exactly the kind of visit we make room for.
Whether it’s a small chip on a front tooth or a crack that’s sharp to the tongue, we can smooth and protect it now and discuss a lasting repair, bonding or porcelain veneers, once you’re out of discomfort.
Crowns can loosen, fracture, or come away entirely, leaving the tooth beneath sensitive and exposed. Bring the crown with you if you still have it; in many cases it can be recemented the same day.
Swelling is your body signalling that something needs attention. It should never simply be waited out. Please call us so we can look at it promptly and find the cause.
A dental abscess is an infection at the root of a tooth or in the surrounding gum, and it often announces itself with throbbing pain, a bad taste, or a tender bump on the gum. Treatment may involve draining the infection, root canal treatment, or in some cases removing the tooth.
A crown that has worked loose from its implant, tenderness in the gum around the post, or an implant that simply feels different than it did: we place and restore dental implants here, so we can evaluate the whole restoration rather than just the surface.
Sudden jaw pain, a joint that locks or clicks, or a stretch of clenching and grinding that has left your teeth aching: these often trace back to the bite and the jaw joint. Learn more about our approach to TMJ and TMD treatment.
We hold room in the schedule for patients in pain. Call during office hours and, whenever we possibly can, we’ll bring you in the same day rather than asking you to wait for the next opening.
Arriving in pain is stressful enough. For patients who find dental treatment difficult, nitrous oxide can make an urgent appointment feel calm and unhurried, just tell us when you call.
Relief is the first step, not the last. Because we do our own crowns, veneers, and implant restorations, the tooth we settle today can be finished beautifully here as well, by the same team, on your timeline.
A few simple, common-sense steps can make your visit easier, and can sometimes make the difference in what we’re able to save.
First steps
If you have swelling that is spreading, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or an injury involving more than the teeth, please seek medical care or go to your nearest emergency room first, then call us so we can take care of the dental side.
Nobody plans an emergency visit, and many of our patients arrive apprehensive as well as uncomfortable. Our team is used to that. We’ll listen first, explain what we’re seeing in plain language, and never begin anything before you understand it.
For patients who find dental treatment genuinely difficult, nitrous oxide is available, a gentle option that lets an urgent appointment pass calmly and comfortably. Mention it when you call and we’ll plan for it.
Our office is at 11 Chambers Street in the heart of Princeton, an easy walk from anywhere downtown.
