Local to You, Not Just “In Manhattan”
When something goes wrong with a tooth, the deciding factor is usually speed — how fast you can actually get seen matters more than almost anything else. Being located at 185 West End Ave, Suite 1G, New York, NY 10023, close to Lincoln Center, Lincoln Square, and the Riverside Drive corridor, means patients in this part of Manhattan aren't choosing between an urgent care clinic that can't really address a dental problem and a dentist across town who can't fit them in for days. Call first — describing what's happening helps us prioritize your visit and know what to have ready.
Am I a Candidate?
If you're dealing with real pain, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or uncontrolled bleeding, that's an emergency worth calling about immediately rather than waiting to see if it improves. See our full Dental Emergencies page for guidance on specific situations — a broken tooth, a lost filling, or a dental abscess — while you're on your way in.

FAQ: Dental Emergencies on the Upper West Side
Severe or worsening tooth pain, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, a lost crown or filling that's causing pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial swelling are all reasons to be seen right away rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
We prioritize same-day and next-day emergency visits whenever possible for patients on the Upper West Side and near Lincoln Center. Call 212-877-7475 and describe what's happening so we can get you in as quickly as the day allows.
Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it in the socket if possible; if not, keep it in milk or between your cheek and gum, and get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
We see both existing patients and new patients in genuine dental distress. If you're new to us, call ahead so we can get basic information and prepare for your visit.
