Dental emergencies happen at the worst possible moments — and SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens offers same-day emergency appointments for severe pain, dental trauma, broken teeth, and other urgent oral health problems. Both Columbia University-trained dentists, Dr. Arthur Volker, DDS and Dr. Aadel Soleymani, DDS, see emergency patients during regular hours and reserve daily blocks specifically for urgent same-day care.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Call right away for severe or worsening tooth pain, facial or jaw swelling, a knocked-out adult tooth, a broken or displaced tooth, a painful lost crown or filling, bleeding after an injury, or trauma from an accident or sports impact. For life-threatening emergencies, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or major facial trauma, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Same-Day Availability at SOL Dental Arts
We reserve daily time for emergency patients during practice hours. Call (917) 983-4560 as early as possible so we can triage the problem and schedule the right level of care.
Common Emergencies We Treat
Severe toothache. We evaluate whether pain is coming from decay, a crack, infection, bite trauma, or another cause.
Broken or chipped teeth. Many front-tooth chips can be repaired with bonding; larger fractures may need a crown, onlay, root canal, or extraction depending on the damage.
Knocked-out adult tooth. Hold the tooth by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call immediately. Time matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can SOL Dental Arts see me today?
In most cases, yes. Call (917) 983-4560 during practice hours and we will fit emergency patients into our same-day blocks whenever possible. The sooner we see you, the more options we have for saving the tooth or controlling the problem.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Time matters. Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water if dirty, and either reinsert it into the socket or store it in milk while heading to our office. Don’t scrub the root, don’t store in plain water, and don’t wrap in tissue.
Get to the office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of successful reimplantation.
Can a broken tooth be fixed in one visit?
Often yes. Minor fractures and chipped front teeth are typically repaired same-day with composite bonding. Larger fractures may need a full-coverage crown, which we can sometimes design and mill in-house thanks to our CAD/CAM lab — letting us complete the restoration in a single visit rather than over multiple appointments.
What if my dental emergency happens after hours?
Leave a detailed voicemail and we will return your call as soon as possible the next business day. For life-threatening emergencies — uncontrolled bleeding, severe swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or facial trauma — go directly to the nearest emergency room.
What happens at an emergency dental visit?
Every emergency visit starts with an exam and any needed X-rays to diagnose the cause. From there we explain treatment options and the plan before proceeding. SOL Dental Arts provides a detailed written estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Is there a 24-hour or same-day dentist near me in Maspeth or Queens?
SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens accepts same-day emergency patients during practice hours (Monday/Wednesday/Friday 9 AM–5 PM) whenever possible. Call (917) 983-4560 as soon as you can — the earlier we see you, the more options we have for saving the tooth.
For after-hours emergencies, leave a detailed voicemail; we return calls the next business day. For life-threatening situations — uncontrolled bleeding, severe swelling affecting breathing, or facial trauma — go directly to the nearest emergency room.
What counts as a true dental emergency vs something that can wait?
A true emergency needs same-day care: a knocked-out (avulsed) tooth, severe uncontrolled pain, large facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a tooth pushed out of position from trauma.
Things that can usually wait until the next business day: a chipped tooth without sharp pain, a lost filling or crown with no pain, mild sensitivity, or a sore but stable tooth. When in doubt, call us — we'll triage over the phone and advise whether to come in immediately or schedule.
Can a chipped or cracked front tooth be fixed in one visit?
Often, yes. When a chip or crack is limited to the visible surface or edge of a front tooth, composite bonding can rebuild it conservatively in a single visit, matching the shade and shape of your neighboring teeth.
Larger fractures may need a tooth-colored crown or onlay, which our in-house CAD/CAM lab can frequently complete the same day. Call (917) 983-4560 if you have a damaged front tooth.
With a same-visit CAD/CAM crown, will I avoid a temporary crown?
Yes. Because our in-house CAD/CAM lab designs and mills your crown during the same appointment, there is no need for a temporary crown or a second visit in most cases. The tooth is prepared, the crown is digitally designed and milled from a high-strength ceramic block, then glazed and bonded the same day. That means fewer appointments and no weeks of wearing a temporary.
Are you accepting new patients in Maspeth and Queens?
Yes — SOL Dental Arts welcomes new patients of all ages, including second-opinion consultations on complex cosmetic or restorative cases. Whether you haven't been to a dentist in years or you're looking for a new practice in the Maspeth / Queens 11378 area, we make the first visit thorough and judgment-free. Call (917) 983-4560 or use our contact form to schedule.
