COVID-19 Emergency Dentist | NYC

Next in-person emergency appointments currently available: Saturday, May 23rd

Due to coronavirus COVID-19 we’re currently offering virtual and in-person visits for urgent treatment by appointment only. We have a Scheduling Coordinator available Monday to Friday during business hours, so please call, text, or email us and we’ll help you reserve the next appropriate visit. Virtual visits might be available sooner than in-person visits and can often help manage symptoms until an in-person visit is possible.

Possibly an emergency:

• A toothache or dental pain
• Bleeding that can’t be controlled
• An abscess or infection resulting in pain or swelling in the mouth
• Dental trauma like a broken tooth
• Filling a cavity that’s causing discomfort
• Removing stitches after oral surgery
• Re-cementing a crown or bridge that fell out
• Replacing a lost or broken crown or bridge

Not an emergency:

• Preventative wellness visits or gum care visits
• Invisalign
• Removal of wisdom teeth that are not painful
• Aesthetic dental procedures like whitening or veneers

Health & Safety protocols

The health and safety of our patients, team, and community are our top priorities.  The office is quiet and clean, and we’ve implemented additional protocols for all in person visits. These include:

• Enhancing our health history screening to include questions about COVID-19 symptoms and exposure
• Asking people to wait outside to help us keep a safe social distance
• Making sure everyone washes or sanitizes their hands when they arrive
• Taking everyone’s temperature & oxygen level upon entering the office
• Requiring  patients and guests to wear masks in the office
• Limiting the number team members in the office
• Seeing only two patients at a time
• Ensuring all team members wear appropriate protective equipment at all times
• Providing hospital-level PPE to our clinical team (there is an extra $20 fee to help us cover this cost)
• Sanitizing clinical and common areas regularly

You can read even more about our infection control protocols here. We take this seriously.

Like everyone else, we are in uncharted waters with this situation. Our goal is always to do what’s in the best interest of our patients and team, so we will continue to update our plans and policies accordingly.

Thank you for your support & understanding.

Emergency Dentist | NYC

Life is unpredictable, so chances are you’ll experience a dental emergency at some point along the way. It’s okay. We know these things happen and we’re here to help, even on the weekends. Central Park West Dentistry is open early mornings and late evenings, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays for emergency dental appointments. We’re not open overnight, but we do have a friendly answering service who can schedule you for a next-day emergency appointment, sometimes as early as 8am.

No matter what the trouble is, we’ll see to it that you’re taken care of and back to smiling in no time. Dental emergencies can feel scary, but our team of experts will take x-rays to quickly determine the cause of the issue and work with you to find the best solution. Most of the time we can provide treatment on the spot.

Some of the dental emergencies our dentists see frequently include:

• Toothaches
• Abscesses
• Chipped teeth
• Swollen gums
• Dental trauma
• Accidents
• Broken or lost crowns
• Root canals
• Infections and inflammation
• Veneer, bridge, and crown re-cements
• Tooth extractions
• Cavities
• Broken or lost teeth

When you call us to schedule your 1st emergency appointment, we reserve the right to request your credit card number to reserve time with the doctor just for you.  This allows us to avoid double booking appointments (a practice common at other offices) and ensures you have the dedicated time you need with your provider. Once an appointment is booked- unless we hear otherwise – we’ll expect you’ll be there. Please let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you won’t be able to make it. If you cancel your appointment less than 48 hours in advance or skip it, we’ll charge your credit card a $75 cancellation fee. We promise we’ll only charge this card if you don’t keep your reserved appointment.
