“I had a great experience at Innova Smiles in Boston. I was visiting the city when I suddenly developed severe dental pain, and they were able to give me an immediate appointment, which was such a relief. After examining me, they diagnosed the issue as needing a root canal, and everything was handled with so much care and professionalism.”

In short

A knocked-out adult tooth is the most time-critical dental emergency — reimplantation is most likely when we see you within 30–60 minutes. Bring the tooth in milk or saline.
Emergency slots are reserved every business day. Office hours are Monday–Thursday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and Friday 9:00 AM–1:00 PM; the booking line takes calls around the clock.
Go to a hospital ER instead for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma with other injuries.
New uninsured patients can use the $99 emergency exam; most PPO plans cover 50–80% of emergency treatment, and 0% financing is available.
Walk-ins are welcome during office hours, but calling first lets the team triage your symptoms and hold a priority slot.

Professional-strength numbing gel before any injection. Most patients say they don’t feel the needle at all.

Urgent Care Technology

Same-Day Toothache Relief in Marlborough

We don’t guess what’s causing your pain. We use CBCT 3D imaging and low-radiation digital X-rays to see exactly what’s happening below the surface, so the right treatment starts on the first visit — not the third.

CBCT 3D Imaging On-Site
Cone-beam CT and a 3D facial scanner map the tooth, root, sinus, and nerve in seconds — critical for impacted wisdom teeth, hidden cracks, and infections that flat X-rays can’t catch.
Rapid High-Res Digital X-Rays
Digital sensors capture crystal-clear images in seconds, with up to 80% less radiation than film. Dr. Fatima shows you exactly what’s wrong on HD screens chairside.
Minimally Invasive Solutions
Precise imaging means we treat only what needs treating, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Patient Reviews

Real reviews from families across MetroWest Massachusetts.

“I had a great experience at Innova Smiles in Boston. I was visiting the city when I suddenly developed severe dental pain, and they were able to give me an immediate appointment, which was such a relief. After examining me, they diagnosed the issue as needing a root canal, and everything was handled with so much care and professionalism. Dr. Fatima was incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive. She is very soft-spoken, patient, and took her time explaining the procedure, which really helped put me at ease during a stressful moment. The clinic itself is beautiful—clean, well-decorated, and very comfortable. I really appreciated the little thoughtful touches like cold water and drinks for patients. There was hardly any waiting time, and the dental assistant was also very friendly and attentive. My X-rays were taken quickly, and the Dr Fatima personally checked in with me afterward. I also want to mention the receptionist, who explained the billing very clearly. Everything was transparent with no hidden charges, which I truly appreciated. As a high school teacher I appreciate someone who explains things clearly. I wish I could have packed her and take her with me to Illinois. Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Innova Smiles to anyone looking for caring, high-quality dental care.”

I was in quite a lot of pain, but the team managed to see me quickly and made the whole experience much less stressful. Dr. Fatima was very professional, gentle, and clearly explained what the problem was and what needed to be done. She treated the issue efficiently and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The staff at the clinic were also very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a very positive experience, especially for an emergency visit. I would definitely recommend Innova Smiles and Dr. Fatima.”

“I'm from Chicago and currently visiting Boston. While here, I developed a toothache and visited Innova Smiles. The team provided exceptional care, ultimately extracting the tooth and fitting me with a partial flipper. They use advanced technology, including the Trios 5 intraoral scanner, which creates a precise 3D model for the flipper. The staff was courteous, the facility is outstanding, and the pricing was transparent and reasonable. Highly recommend.”

“I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Fatima at Innova Smiles in Marlborough. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for and never rushed. Dr. Fatima combines exceptional dental expertise with a level of compassion and attention that is truly rare. What stood out most was how much time she took to explain everything clearly, answer questions patiently, and make sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and wants them to feel confident about their smile, not just complete a procedure and move on. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personality immediately build trust. The entire team at Innova Smiles is welcoming, organized, and makes the experience stress-free. If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, caring, honest, and genuinely invested in your comfort and smile, I highly recommend Dr. Fatima at Innova Smiles. One of the best dental experiences I've had!”

I went in for a cleaning, deep cleaning, and a complete scan for an implant, and everything was handled with great professionalism. Dr. Fatima is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain each step clearly. I really appreciated the use of modern technology like digital scanning. Pam the hygienist did a great job with the deep cleaning. Sam was kind and friendly during the 3D scanning. I highly recommend Innova Smiles to anyone looking for high-quality dental care with new technology in Marlborough.”

“I’ve had a consistently positive and enjoyable experience with Innova Smiles. So far, I’ve received routine cleanings, fillings, whitening, a root canal, and a crown - all completed through this office (with referrals when needed). Dr. Fatima and her team are true professionals who make what is normally an unpleasant experience feel comfortable and even pleasant. The hygienist on my first visit was great. Samantha, Sylvia, and the friendly receptionist were especially memorable for their warm and attentive care. After visiting several other dentists in both private and government clinics, Innova Smiles is easily the standout. I’m really glad I found them!”

My second visit was to start the prep work for a crown. I was a bit nervous, but Dr. Fatima and the staff made sure the entire process was completely comfortable and seamless. They took the time to explain each step clearly and truly prioritize patient comfort. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for top-notch dental care!”

“I am someone along with many others who have had to have a lot of dental work done over the years. I was with the same practice for 35 years. I, like many others had the same dentist for all those years. When Dr O'Brien was about to retire and had sold the practice to Innova Smiles, I was very apprehensive as I know others would feel with having a new dentist after so many years. I know now that Dr O'Brien made a fabulous choice when he sold the business to Dr. Fatima. She has a way of creating a calm and caring atmosphere. The staff she has chosen are kind and extremely capable just as she is.”

Rinse the tooth gently without scrubbing, reinsert it into the socket if possible, or store it in cold milk or saliva. Call us immediately, a tooth reimplanted within 60 minutes has the best chance of being saved.

Severe Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum, it can cause chemical burns. Call us right away for same-day triage.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any tooth fragments. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid biting on the affected area and call us for a same-day evaluation.

Lost Crown or Filling

The exposed tooth is vulnerable to sensitivity and further damage. Temporarily cover the area with sugarless gum or over-the-counter dental cement (available at pharmacies). Avoid chewing on that side until you see us.

Signs of Dental Abscess

Throbbing pain, facial swelling, fever, or a pimple-like bump on your gum may signal a serious infection. This is a true emergency, abscesses can spread to the jaw and airway. Call us now or go to urgent care.

Soft Tissue Injuries

For a bitten tongue, lip, or cheek, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth to control bleeding. If bleeding does not stop within 15 minutes or the injury is severe, go to the nearest emergency room.

Emergency Dentist in Marlborough, MA — Same-Day Appointments at Innova Smiles

When dental emergencies happen, Innova Smiles provides same-day emergency dental care at our Marlborough, MA practice, serving patients throughout MetroWest, including Hudson, Framingham, Northborough, Southborough, Sudbury, Westborough, Shrewsbury, and Hopkinton, who need urgent dental attention.

What Qualifies as a True Dental Emergency?

Not every dental problem is a same-day emergency, but many are. True dental emergencies include: a knocked-out tooth (avulsion), where every minute matters for reimplantation success; dental abscess or infection, which can spread to the jaw, neck, and bloodstream if untreated; severe and uncontrolled toothache that prevents sleep or eating; a broken tooth with exposed nerve tissue; and significant soft tissue injuries (lacerations to the tongue, lips, or cheeks).

Lost crowns, cracked fillings, and mild toothaches that are manageable with over-the-counter pain medication are urgent but may not require immediate same-day care, calling our office to triage is always the right move. Our team will assess your symptoms and determine the appropriate urgency level. When in doubt, call us, we would rather help you determine it is not an emergency than have you wait when it is.

Why Delayed Emergency Dental Care Is Dangerous

Dental infections are the most dangerous category of dental emergency. The mouth sits adjacent to critical airway structures, the jaw, throat, and neck. A tooth abscess that is not treated can spread through fascial planes into the submandibular space (Ludwig’s angina), causing life-threatening airway compromise. This condition requires emergency hospitalization and can progress from a toothache to a life-threatening situation in 24–48 hours.

Even for less severe emergencies, delay consistently leads to worse outcomes and higher costs. A cracked tooth that is treated before the crack reaches the pulp may need only a crown. The same tooth left untreated for months may require a root canal, crown, or extraction. A knocked-out tooth reimplanted within 30 minutes has an 85%+ success rate. Success declines sharply after 60 minutes due to irreversible periodontal ligament damage; reimplantation attempted after this window carries a substantially higher risk of root resorption and tooth loss. Acting quickly—ideally within the first 30–60 minutes—gives your tooth the best chance of survival.

Emergency Dental FAQs

A knocked-out permanent tooth is a time-sensitive emergency. Pick up the tooth by the white crown, avoiding the roots. Rinse it gently with milk or saline, never scrub it or use soap. If possible, place it back in the socket and hold it in place with gentle pressure; otherwise, keep it submerged in milk or inside your cheek. Time is critical: the best outcomes occur when the tooth is reimplanted within 30 minutes. Call our Marlborough MA office immediately at (508) 481-0110 for a same-day emergency appointment.

Yes. Innova Smiles reserves same-day emergency slots every business day for patients across MetroWest — Marlborough, Hudson, Southborough, Northborough, and Framingham. For a cracked or knocked-out tooth, a lost crown or filling, a severe toothache, or facial swelling, call us early in the day and we will triage your situation and get you seen the same day whenever it is clinically possible. Unlike a hospital ER, we can actually treat the tooth.

A true dental emergency is any condition that involves severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or a knocked-out permanent tooth. You should seek immediate care for uncontrollable facial swelling, a cracked or broken tooth that causes extreme sensitivity, a lost crown or filling exposing the tooth, or signs of a serious oral infection such as fever, pus, or a bitter taste. If swelling is affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest hospital emergency room immediately. For all other dental emergencies, call our Marlborough office at (508) 481-0110, we reserve same-day appointments specifically for urgent cases and can often see you within hours.

Yes, we prioritize dental emergencies and keep flexibility in our daily schedule so we can see you the same day you call. Our primary goal is to relieve your pain quickly and stabilize your condition. When you call, our team will triage your situation over the phone, provide immediate self-care guidance, and schedule you into the next available emergency slot, often within one to two hours. We serve emergency patients from Marlborough, Hudson, Framingham, Northborough, and the entire MetroWest area. Call (508) 481-0110 for immediate assistance.

Because every emergency situation is completely different, costs depend on the necessary tests and treatments required. A basic emergency exam with X-rays is affordable and often partially covered by insurance. During your urgent visit, we conduct an initial exam and transparently explain all treatment options and exact costs before proceeding with any major restorative work. We never pressure you into decisions during a stressful moment. For patients without insurance, our In-House Membership Plan includes an emergency exam, and we offer 0% financing through CareCredit and Cherry to spread any additional costs into manageable monthly payments. Call (508) 481-0110, cost should never delay emergency dental care.

If you have severe swelling or a throbbing toothache, start by applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off to reduce inflammation. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as directed, but never apply aspirin directly against your gums as it can burn the tissue. Rinse gently with warm salt water to help reduce bacteria. Avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks, and try to keep your head elevated if lying down. These measures provide temporary relief while you wait for professional care. Call our office at (508) 481-0110 as soon as possible, we keep same-day emergency slots open for situations like yours.

If you experience a dental crisis outside of our normal office hours, call our main number at (508) 481-0110 — our booking line takes calls 24/7 and can schedule you into the first available emergency slot. For non-life-threatening issues like a lost filling or moderate pain, take over-the-counter pain relief; your priority appointment will already be on the books. If you have severe facial swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of a spreading infection with fever, proceed directly to your nearest hospital emergency room. We will follow up with you the next business day to provide any necessary restorative treatment.

A hospital ER is set up to manage medical emergencies, not to fix teeth. For a dental problem, ER staff can usually treat pain, drain swelling, and prescribe antibiotics for infection, but they do not have a dentist on hand to repair, restore, or remove the tooth. You will still need a dentist for the actual fix. Call our Marlborough office at (508) 481-0110.

Call a local dental office directly, even as a new patient, and describe what happened. Many practices, including ours, hold same-day openings for urgent problems; walk-ins are welcome during office hours, and calling first lets us prepare a room. For severe swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial trauma, go to the nearest emergency room. Reach us at (508) 481-0110.

Sometimes, but never automatically. Extraction is only considered when it is clinically indicated after an exam and imaging show the tooth cannot be saved. When a tooth can be repaired, we work to preserve it with treatment such as a filling, crown, or root canal. If removal is the right option, we explain why first and review your replacement choices. Call (508) 481-0110.

Go to the ER immediately if you experience severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, a suspected broken jaw, or swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing. For most other dental issues—like a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken crown—an emergency dentist is the best choice.

Use over-the-counter pain relief (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen) as directed and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation. We reserve same-day emergency appointments during our regular office hours and will get you in to stabilize the tooth as quickly as possible; for emergencies outside office hours, call (508) 481-0110 — our booking line takes calls 24/7 and can schedule your emergency visit for the first opening.

Yes. If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or facial swelling, Innova Smiles is here for you. We are an emergency dentist Marlborough, MA patients rely on, reserving same-day appointments for Marlborough, Hudson, and Northborough residents.

Innova Smiles offers same-day emergency dental appointments for toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings. We prioritize pain relief and immediate stabilization.

Stay calm. Pick up the tooth by the white crown, do not touch the root. Rinse it briefly with milk and try to place it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep the tooth in milk or saliva and call us right away. Time matters, the sooner you get here, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
