What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry is exactly what it sounds like: urgent care when a tooth breaks, an infection flares up, or pain gets bad enough to stop your day. The goals are simple. Get you out of pain fast, fix the problem, and save the tooth whenever we can. If something feels wrong, call us. We keep room in the schedule for exactly this.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Not sure if your situation counts as an emergency? These are the ones we see most. When in doubt, call and we'll tell you.
Severe Toothache
Pain that won't quit usually means decay or infection. We find the cause and stop the pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Best saved within the hour. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and call us on your way.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Exposed inner layers hurt and invite infection. We repair the tooth before it gets worse.
Lost Filling or Crown
The tooth underneath is left unprotected. A quick fix stops sensitivity and further damage.
Dental Abscess
Swelling or a bump on the gums can mean serious infection. This one should never wait.
Soft-Tissue Injury
Cuts to lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue can bleed a lot. We'll stop the bleeding and treat it.
When Do You Need an Emergency Dentist in Highland Heights, TX?
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.
Unbearable Pain
Tooth pain that won't ease with over-the-counter relief is a sign you need to be seen right away.
Facial Swelling
Swelling in the face, jaw, or gums can indicate a spreading infection that needs urgent care.
Dental Trauma
A knocked-out, loose, or broken tooth from an injury should be treated as quickly as possible.
Persistent Bleeding
Bleeding in the mouth that doesn't stop after applying gentle pressure calls for immediate attention.
Dentistry That Puts You First
You're Heard
Your comfort starts with being listened to. Tell us what worries you, what hurts, and what you wish were different about your smile. We build the plan around you, never the other way around.
Comfort Comes First
Warm blankets, headphones, and gentle sedation options melt the anxiety away. Even lifelong dental avoiders tell us this is the first office where they finally feel at ease.
Results You'll Smile About
Every crown, veneer, and smile we finish is held to one standard: would we be proud to see it on someone we love? Expect work that makes you want to show off your smile again.
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.
Omg I love this office my family have been coming here for years and I wouldn't change there so sweet and professional. My favorite is Vanessa she is quick and fast with our paperwork we are always in and out quick I love this office
Very nice and comforting place. Very nice people. Vanessa is the best. 😁 They booked me for a same day appointment and fixed me up! Check them out!
The dentist office is quick and professional I would recommend them to my family and friends
Decided to go to the dentist after several years of procrastination. I really enjoyed the service at Nova Dental. The office is modern and the staff is great. Vanessa was super helpful with insurance questions and booking the appointment. I really appreciated Rayans attention to detail during the cleaning. Doctor Rashid was quick and explained the procedures thoroughly. I will be back to this location for more dental care as well as my family.
I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei

Emergency Dentistry FAQ
- Do you see emergency patients who have never visited before?
- Absolutely. Many Highland Heights neighbors first meet us on their worst dental day. We treat the emergency first and worry about paperwork after you are comfortable.
- What if my child knocks out a tooth?
- Stay calm, find the tooth, and keep it moist in milk. Call us right away. Kids' dental injuries look frightening, but quick action saves teeth more often than you would think.
- What counts as a dental emergency?
- Severe pain, swelling, bleeding that won't stop, and knocked-out or broken teeth are all dental emergencies. If you're unsure, call us and we'll help you decide how quickly you need to be seen.
- How fast can I be seen?
- We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day, often within hours. Call (281) 741-7400 as soon as a problem arises so we can get you in quickly.
- What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?
- Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing it, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and get to us as soon as possible. Dr. Tatari can often re-implant a tooth that's treated within the hour.
- How much does emergency dental care cost?
- The cost depends on the treatment you need, and we'll always explain the price before we begin. We also offer flexible payment options to make urgent care more affordable.
- Does insurance cover seeing an emergency dentist in Highland Heights, TX?
- Many dental plans cover emergency exams and treatment, and we welcome most major PPO plans and accept Medicaid. Our team will help verify your benefits and review your options.
- Is Lava Dental actually in Highland Heights?
- Yes, we're on Antoine Drive near Pinemont, inside the 77091 zip. Most neighbors are about five minutes from our front door, and plenty just walk over.
- Do you see kids and whole families?
- All ages, every day, from first baby teeth to dentures. Booking the whole family back-to-back is a neighborhood favorite.
- What if I haven't seen a dentist in years?
- You'll get zero judgment here. We'll take it one step at a time: a gentle exam, clear photos of what we see, and an honest conversation about what actually needs attention (and what doesn't).
