Urgent Dental Conditions We Handle the Same Day
A cracked tooth or lost crown exposes sensitive dentin to bacteria, even without immediate pain. Prompt care helps protect your natural tooth structure and prevent more complex and costly procedures later on. Dr. Boris Lipovetskiy uses advanced 3D CBCT imaging and holistic dental ozone therapy to treat the root cause, not just the surface symptom.
Whether your pain started this morning or you’ve been managing it for days, contact our office. We assess every emergency case individually and provide a clear treatment plan during your first appointment.
A fracture exposes your tooth to bacteria and affects your smile. We assess the damage with 3D CBCT scans and restore it seamlessly using biocompatible ceramic bonding or same-day zirconia crowns.
An exposed tooth is highly sensitive and vulnerable to rapid decay. We replace lost or outdated amalgam restorations with durable, mercury-free composite fillings and metal-free crowns.
Intense pain or swelling often indicates deep infection. We provide immediate pain relief, identify the root cause, and use holistic Ozone Dental Treatment to neutralize bacteria and safely address the infection.
Time is of the essence. If a tooth cannot be saved or reimplanted, we offer immediate extraction and holistic tooth replacement options, including biocompatible Zirconia dental implants to restore your smile.
Unsure whether you’re dealing with a dental emergency?
If you're in pain, something feels wrong, or you're worried about visible damage – that's reason enough to call. Early treatment protects your natural tooth structure and often prevents more complex procedures later on.
When Is It a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires an immediate visit, but recognizing clinical warning signs can help save your natural tooth structure. Our goal is always to preserve your smile — extraction is a last resort, not the first response.
If you experience any of the following, contact our emergency dentist in Fort Lauderdale for same-day care:
Persistent Pain (2+ Hours)
Throbbing pain that doesn't subside often indicates deep inflammation. Prompt evaluation helps us identify the source and determine the safest, biocompatible treatment to relieve your discomfort.
Visible Facial or Jaw Swelling
Swelling may indicate an infection that is spreading. Same-day care is essential to relieve pressure and safely neutralize bacteria, often using holistic dental ozone therapy.
Bleeding That Won’t Stop (15+ Minutes)
Minor bleeding after trauma is expected. However, if consistent pressure with gauze doesn’t slow the bleeding within approximately 15 minutes, seek professional evaluation immediately.
Knocked-Out or Displaced Tooth
A completely avulsed tooth can often be saved if treated within approximately 30–60 minutes. Keep the tooth moist and call us right away — time directly affects the outcome.
Fever with Dental Pain
A fever accompanied by a toothache or swollen gums may signal a serious infection. This requires prompt professional treatment to address the root cause and protect your overall health.
Why Patients Choose Us for Dental Emergencies
Backed by more than 33 years of clinical experience, Dr. Boris Lipovetskiy provides a full diagnostic workup with 3D CBCT imaging during your very first appointment. You leave understanding exactly what happened and what the treatment plan is — with no diagnostic gap between your emergency visit and follow-up care.
Full 3D Diagnosis on Day 1
Cone-beam CT scanning reveals hidden fractures and root issues that standard X-rays routinely miss. Your treatment plan is based on complete information, not assumptions.
Ozone Therapy — Natural Infection Control
Dental ozone is an antimicrobial agent that can eliminate bacteria in infected tissue with minimal invasion, potentially reducing the need for antibiotics in early-stage cases.
Same-Day Restorations with iTero
Digital impressions with iTero 3D scanning allow us to fabricate and fit many temporary and permanent restorations in a single appointment — no lab wait and no second visit for a crown.
Personal Care — One Doctor, Every Visit
Dr. Boris personally handles your emergency evaluation. You're not passed off to an associate after intake. The same clinician who diagnoses you treats you and monitors your recovery.
Biocompatible Materials Only
All temporary and permanent restorations placed during emergency visits use ceramic and zirconia. No amalgam, no BPA composites – we follow IAOMT SMART protocols throughout.
Triage by Phone Before You Arrive

Patient Reviews
Today I was fitted in during a busy time to repair a crown and fill a chipped tooth – I was simply there for a regular cleaning. All done and good to go! The practice is warm and efficient, and Dr. Boris always goes above and beyond.
Broke a tooth on a Friday morning and called the office in a panic. They fit me in within two hours. Dr. Boris placed a temporary bridge the same day, and I had a permanent ceramic restoration within a week. Couldn't be more impressed.
I had severe pain and swelling over the weekend. Called Monday morning and was seen within 45 minutes. Dr. Boris identified a hidden fracture with a 3D scan that a standard X-ray had missed entirely. He treated it during the same visit. I never had to see a specialist. Thank you, Dr. Boris.
FAQ
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral condition that causes severe pain, risk of infection, or structural tooth damage and cannot wait for a routine appointment. This includes persistent tooth pain, knocked-out or cracked teeth, a dental abscess with swelling, a lost crown or filling causing pain, uncontrolled bleeding, and jaw swelling.
Can I come in without an appointment?
We strongly recommend calling ahead first — even if it’s only 10 minutes before you arrive. This allows our team to prepare a room, review your chart if you're an existing patient, and minimize your wait time. We do our best to accommodate all urgent requests during office hours: Mon–Thu 8:30 AM–5 PM, Fri by appointment.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency in Fort Lauderdale?
In most cases, we can schedule emergency patients the same day they call during our regular office hours. Contact our office and describe your situation — our team will prioritize your appointment based on clinical urgency and current availability.
Does insurance cover emergency dental visits?
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover emergency exams and diagnostic X-rays, at least in part. Coverage for procedures such as extractions, crowns, and fillings varies by plan. Call us before your visit, and we'll pre-verify your benefits so you understand your out-of-pocket responsibility in advance.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it gently with water — do not scrub it. Keep it moist — ideally by placing it back in the socket or storing it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately at 954-525-5662. Reimplantation is most successful within approximately 30–60 minutes of the injury.
Do you offer emergency care for new patients?
Yes — we welcome both new and existing patients for emergency dental appointments. Please call ahead so we can gather your basic information and prepare your room before arrival. Bring your insurance card and any relevant medical history if available. No referral is required.
