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).

Understanding Your Treatment

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.

Listen to Your Smile

When Do You Need an Emergency Dentist in Highland Heights, TX?

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.
