Emergency Dentist in Coral Gables & Miami

A dental emergency is any oral problem that causes severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling, or the loss or fracture of a tooth. Knocked-out teeth, dental abscesses, broken teeth with exposed nerves, lost crowns or fillings that cause pain, and injuries to the lips, gums, or jaw all need urgent attention from an emergency dentist in Coral Gables or Miami.

Yes. Dr. Javier Cutino reserves time in the schedule every day for emergencies, so patients from Coral Gables, Brickell, Coconut Grove, and greater Miami can usually be seen the same day they call. Call (305) 496-1618 as early as possible and describe your symptoms so the team can prioritize your visit.

Pick the tooth up by the crown, never the root, rinse it gently with milk or saline, and place it back in the socket if you can. If reinsertion is not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to the office within 30 to 60 minutes. Fast action gives the tooth the best chance of being saved.

Go to a hospital emergency room for facial trauma, a suspected broken jaw, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling that closes the eye or throat. For toothaches, abscesses, broken teeth, and lost restorations, an emergency dentist is faster, less expensive, and able to definitively treat the tooth rather than only manage pain.

Yes. The practice accepts PPO insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment so you know your estimated cost up front. Flexible payment options are available for patients without insurance.

Cost depends on the treatment needed. An emergency exam with imaging is typically the smallest part of the visit, while treatments such as fillings, root canal therapy, or extractions vary. You always receive an estimate before care begins, and PPO benefits are applied at the time of treatment.

Rinse with warm salt water, use an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory if it is safe for you, apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek for 15 minutes at a time, sleep with your head elevated, and avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods. Never place aspirin directly against the gum, as it burns the tissue.

The office is at 336 Sevilla Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134, minutes from Downtown Coral Gables, Miracle Mile, South Miami, and Coconut Grove, with quick access from US-1 and I-95 for patients coming from Brickell and Downtown Miami.
