Trusted by referring dentists
Many general dentists throughout New Jersey send their emergency endodontic cases to us for expert-level care.
When you call, we’ll guide you through managing your symptoms and schedule you as soon as possible.
Once you’re here, our specialists will:
- Assess the issue with digital imaging and a clinical exam
- Explain your options and provide clear cost estimates
- Begin treatment to stop the pain and save the tooth, often the same day
We’ll also coordinate with your general dentist to ensure you get the proper restoration or follow-up care.
Delaying care for a dental emergency can result in:
- More Pain – Infection spreads and pressure increases
- Tooth Loss – Damage can reach a point of no return
- Higher Costs – Waiting can turn a simple root canal into complex surgery
- Health Complications – Untreated infections may spread beyond the tooth and affect your overall health
Quick treatment gives us the best shot at saving your tooth—and your comfort.
Same-day relief from tooth infections, abscesses & cracked teeth
Tooth pain that comes on suddenly—or worsens quickly—can signal an infection deep inside your tooth. In these cases, waiting too long could lead to severe damage, tooth loss, or dangerous spread of infection. Our team of endodontic specialists is here to help.

Frequently asked questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Should I see an endodontist or a general dentist for an emergency?
Will I be in pain during the procedure?
No. We offer multiple sedation options, including IV sedation and nitrous oxide, to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience—even in emergency situations.
What if my tooth is cracked or broken?
If the crack reaches the inner pulp, you’ll likely need a root canal to save the tooth. Our team uses 3D imaging and microscopes to assess the damage and provide accurate treatment on the spot.
Can a dental abscess be treated the same day?
Yes. We can often drain the abscess, clean the infected area, and start root canal treatment during your emergency visit—relieving pain and stopping the spread of infection.
How much does an emergency root canal cost in NJ?
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency in Livingston or Summit?
What happens if I delay treatment?
Do you treat children during dental emergencies?
We focus primarily on adult patients and complex cases. If your child has a dental emergency, we’re happy to recommend a pediatric specialist or assess whether endodontic treatment is appropriate.
Can I return to my regular dentist after emergency treatment?
Absolutely. We’ll coordinate care with your general dentist to ensure a seamless handoff for any needed crowns or follow-up restorations after your emergency root canal treatment.
