Emergency Dentist
In pain right now? Call us.
Imagine Advanced Dental Arts reserves time every day for emergencies. Call 609-896-0589 and we will get you seen as soon as possible - usually the same day.
A dental emergency rarely waits for a convenient time. Whether it is a toothache that kept you up all night, a tooth broken at dinner, or a crown that came off on vacation, our Lawrenceville, NJ team will relieve the pain first and then explain your options clearly - no pressure, no surprises.
Common Dental Emergencies and What to Do First
Severe toothache
Persistent, throbbing pain - especially with swelling or sensitivity to heat - usually means infection. We find the cause the same day and relieve the pain.
Broken, cracked, or chipped tooth
Save any pieces, rinse gently, and call. Depending on the damage we bond, place a same-day CEREC crown, or protect the tooth until a permanent fix.
Knocked-out tooth
Time matters. Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse briefly without scrubbing, and place it back in the socket or in milk. Call us on the way - a tooth replanted within an hour has the best chance.
Lost crown or filling
Keep the crown if you have it. The exposed tooth is sensitive and fragile, so we see you quickly to re-cement or replace it.
Abscess or facial swelling
Swelling in the gum, jaw, or face is an infection that needs treatment now. Call immediately; if swelling spreads toward the eye or throat or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room first.
Injured gums, lips, or a loose tooth after a blow
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to stop bleeding and a cold compress for swelling, then call so we can check the teeth and jaw.
What Happens at an Emergency Visit
We start by getting you comfortable and out of pain. A digital X-ray or in-house CBCT 3D scan shows exactly what is going on, and we explain the choices - repair, same-day CEREC crown, extraction, or a referral for root canal treatment when that is the best way to save the tooth. Nervous patients can add sedation. If a tooth cannot be saved, we talk through implant and bridge options before you leave, so the gap does not become the next emergency.

FAQs
+Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments in Lawrenceville, NJ?
Yes. Imagine Advanced Dental Arts reserves time every day for dental emergencies - call 609-896-0589 and we will get you seen as soon as possible, usually the same day.
+What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, an abscess or facial swelling, and bleeding that will not stop are all emergencies. If you are unsure, call Imagine Advanced Dental Arts and we will tell you how quickly you need to be seen.
+What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, rinse it briefly without scrubbing, and place it back in the socket or in a cup of milk, then call Imagine Advanced Dental Arts immediately - replanting within about an hour gives the tooth the best chance of survival.
+Can you treat an infected tooth or abscess?
Yes. Imagine Advanced Dental Arts relieves the pain and infection the same day - typically with antibiotics and drainage if needed - and then either saves the tooth or removes it. If a root canal is the right treatment, we coordinate it with a trusted endodontist.

Often, yes. Imagine Advanced Dental Arts uses CEREC same-day crowns and composite bonding, so many broken teeth are fully restored in a single emergency visit.
